I've recently stumbled across these headphones however I cannot find the difference between these two headphones that justifies the extra cost of the RS185, the sound specs seem to be exactly the same apart from the max sound pressure level which is lower on the RS185s, do the RS 185s offer greater sound quality over the 175s? And which would be better for music, home entertainment + gaming?

Sensitivity is how effectively an earphone converts an electrical signal into an acoustical signal. Sensitivity indicates how loud the earphones will be for a given level from the source.

Are you thinking of connecting the Headphones to an Amplifier/Receiver connected to your PC?

For me the only spec that matters is Frequency, the wider the range the better, but they say Frequency is subjective...My ears dont like much of Sennheiser's....I was lucky enough to find an AKG-Q701, New, for almost 43% discount price on Amazon almost 2 years ago and love it...

Impedance: 62 Ohms
Sensitivity: 105 db/w
Freq: 10Hz-39.8 Khz...
