Sennheiser RS 175 RF Wireless Headphones Over Ear for TV System with Bass Boost and Surround Sound Modes, Compact and Ergonomic, Over Ear Headphones for TV Listening, Black

I have got two of these. The first set I got 8 years ago and still use, and got a second pair for my WFH desk a year ago. I find the audio quality to be great for wireless, they have a great battery life and they are comfortable. I appreciate that all controls on the dock are also on the headset. I also appreciate how the ear pads are replaceable. On my first pair, I am on my 3rd set of ear pads. My only major complaint is that when the battery is almost dead, it doesn't give any warning. 16 hours of constant and it only tells you 2 minutes out from being dead. Even worse, it keep beeping every 10 seconds, and lowers the audio. Not ideal when in the middle of a competitive game! Also be sure to clean the contacts at the top of the headset band. I have had issues where the pins in the dock get grime and don't spring back, making charging a bit finicky.

having had sennheiser headphones in the past that where fantastic sounding i decided to take the plunge and boy was i dissapointed. these are definatly not for listening to music , the sound is harsh and hollow with no presence or detail. in fact they are actually unpleasant on the ear. Now in fareness the discription does state T.V headphone which is where they are in fact a clear sounding headphone with pleanty of volume if you need it and possibly perfect for the job. you do need to be in the same room as the transmitter as the signal drops out as soon as i walk into the kitchen and this is litteraly the other side of the wall. Now as stated they are aimed at T.V listening which accounts for the additional settings, these are bass and surrond at 2 different levels. they do have both optical and analogue inputs allowing two different sources to be plugged in and just a simple switch on the back of the transmitter making them compatible with older T.V's that may not have optical outputs. I have tried them on the T.V and may move them to my study for game play . and even then there are cheaper alternatives for gaming that sound better. the headphones are very comfortable to wear not heavy there are additional controls on one of the closed cups allowing you to easily switch between modes. the design is actualy really nice the headphones are furnished and finished well and the transmitter is not to big and also doubles as a charging station for the headphone unit. all in all very easy to set up and use . I definately should have paid more attention to other reviews. Please be aware that this is pureley my opinion and im sure they will meet the needs of others. Just sadly not for me.

I use these on my TV and they are great. No delay like you get with Bluetooth (whereby the mouth movements of characters on screen don't match the audio) so latency is much better with these and worth the money for that alone. The charging dock works fine and is a nice touch, although personally, I'd prefer USB C but it is what it is. The charging dock is also the transmitter so I suppose you need it anyway so may as well use it for charging and keeping the headphones safe while not in use. I also like how this completely blocks audio from the TV speakers so there is no risk of turning the TV on in the middle of the night at full volume and waking up your neighbours because you forgot to connect your headphones. They are simply always connected and it doesn't matter if the headphones are switched on or not - sound will never come out of your TV unless you unplug them from the Optical port. But the one big downside is that the volume control on your TV remote will no longer work. You have to use the buttons on the headphones themselves, which take some getting used to. I don't change the volume too much but I usually have to take the headphones off to find which button is volume up or down as they are packed too close together, along with 2 other buttons. It would be better to have the volume up and volume down buttons isolated, with one of each side. But instead, you have 4 buttons crammed next to each other, which are not easy to use. Apart from that, these are great!

Cons: After less than a year, the covering on the cups is starting to fall off, so they will start to have a somewhat worn out appearance. Every time you remove them from the cradle they need to be turned on - would be better if they just turned back on automatically, but its not a massive issue. Pros: Sound quality is great, but obviously you are paying for that. Connectivity is great, there are no issues being on the other side of the house and through walls and floors from the base unit, with no appreciable delay Battery life has almost never been a problem, and charging is quick They are lightweight and comfortable in genral, though the width of my head does mean that they seem to be streaching furthur than they want to, which I worry is damaging to the charging port Setup is a piece of cake, its plug and play

I have tried loads of different options to listen to TV / Movies in surround sound through headphones, for late night viewing. I have tired the Sony puck, Avantrees 3d headphones, fairly much everything, unsuccessfully. I bought these as a final try and I'm so glad I did. Set up in less than five minutes, look great and are incredibly comfortable. Some reviews state the touch controls are difficult. I spent 5 minutes getting used to their position whilst wearing the headphones and I find them really easy to operate. Where I am most impressed, is the sound quality. It is awesome in two of the three settings, normal and low surround. The high surround is ok but there is too much echo on the pseudo centre speaker level, which is a shame as the surround effect is incredible. I have watched a few movies, TV shows, live concerts and I am absolutely delighted with these headphones. The bass boost is very effective for certain types of music . In summary, I love these headphones and highly recommend them.

I am not a "techie" and was concerned that I might come across problems because of my lack of knowledge. I am 77 years old, my hearing is not 100% and have difficulty understanding what is being said in films on TV. However, all my fears came to nothing. I unpacked the box and laid everything out on a table and examined all the bits. I simply followed the instructions provided, but it takes time to get your head around them! I decided to use the optical cable route for better sound quality, and had bought a one-into-two optical splitter for my TV. I removed the optical cable from my TV to the soundbar and connected the splitter to the TV optical out port. Then I connected the soundbar optical cable to the splitter and connected the optical cable provided to the remaining slot in the splitter. Then I connected the other end into the headphone control unit and put the switch UP on the power unit. I plugged in the supplied power cable to the control box and plugged the other end into the wall socket using the UK fitting provided. Then I removed the headphone cushions (1/4 turn to the left) installed a rechargeable battery in each side, put the cushions back on the headphones, and returned them to their orginal charging position on top of the power unit and switched on the power at the wall. A red light appeared on the power unit, to indicate the batteries were charging. This took around 10 minutes to do. The batteries need around 16 hours of charging. I left it overnight and the red light had changed to green, indicating the batteries were charged. I turned on the TV and the sound bar came to life. I switched on the headphones at the right cup and increased the volume and put them on. Everything was working as it should. Magic! I can now hear and understand speech on TV clearly. The headphones are very light, you hardly know you are wearing them and they deliver music incredibly well. I am delighted with this simple solution to age-related hearing loss. Don't waste your time watching videos on YouTube - they won't show you, step by step, how to put the RS 175 together for your system. The instructions for most techie equipment is not written by practical people and it will take you a while to read and understand them. I hope this helps.

I received my new headphones, a good weight feels and looks well made, good material s used, well packaged and instructions very easy to follow, a little worried that they wouldn't connect to my older TV, (new TV) waiting on the sidelines, but not a problem, plug everything in and press button s and all done, charging was not a problem and the difference between the new and old was quite wide sound quality very good, easy of use very good, and able to change settings for films or drama perfect, the one problem I have always has been charging after use BUT it is very quick, and straight forward, you get a good long use before you need to charge again, they fit for me very comfortable, no rubbing or falling off if you look down or pick something up from the floor, a good distance of use, not fully tested yet but will get around to that, so I recommend, I Have ONE little niggle the volume could be set a little higher for my music, I know can damage your earing and there has to be a cut off number, this is the only downside for me, so far they have beaten my other three sets in quality and use a good set so far.

These headphones are poor. They don't sync very well to base-unit and they constantly lose their connectivity to headphones and I am only 6 feet away from base-unit. The internet is full of unhappy customers who have left bad reviews for this product.

صوت رائع جدا ونقي بالنسبة للمستخدم العادي وليس المحترف وتعيشك بجو السينما وتغني عن المسرح الصوتي المنزلي وسهلة التركيب علما اني ركبتها على جهاز بروجكتر ليزر وعملت مع جميع الاجهزة المركبة على البروجكتر مثل ابل تي في والرسيفر ، لا يوجد اي تاخير بالصوت وجميع المؤثرات الصوتية اثناء مشاهدة الافلام تظهر عند استخدام السماعات، المهم معرفة كيفية تركيبها والاعدادات بسيطة وغير معقدة.

One of the best sound systems in a headphone . Gives you theater level sound experience at home !

Die besten Kopfhörer, auch super geeignet fürs Gaming. Verbindung bleibt in der ganzen Wohnung stabil. Sound und Bass sind atemberaubend gut. Wenn man es zu laut macht fetzt es einem die Ohren weg. Hab diese Kopfhörer auf Empfehlung eines Freundes gekauft, der seine schon seit 12 Jahren nutzt und immer noch standhalten. In dem Sinne super gut angelegtes Geld. Einzig Negativer Punkt ist, das die ersten die ich bestellt hatte, wohl eine defekte Station hatten, da ich diese Zurück gesendet habe und Ersatz dafür bekommen habe. Dannach funktionierte die Verbindung ohne Probleme, aber das hat mit dem Produkt an sich eigentlich nichts zu tun nur drauf achten, wenn nach der Einrichtung, die Verbindung mit 1 oder 2m Abstand nicht stabil bleibt, handelt es sich ggf. Um einen Fehler ab Werk. Kurz gesagt, ich bin mega zufrieden und ich empfehle jedem diese Kopfhörer der auf guten klaren Sound mit Bass steht (Bass kann auch ausgestellt werden)

Süper
