Sennheiser RS 175-U Digital Wireless TV Headphones

These are, hands down, the best sounding headphones for TV I’ve tried yet! I’ve tried other over the ear types and ear buds also but didn’t like them! Either they stopped working after only a short time or they just weren’t loud enough or clear enough or both!!This set comes with a great transmitter that you can set up next to the TV or whereever is best! It also acts as the charger for the headphones! There are multiple ways to connect the transmitter directly to your smart TV! I am currently using an analog connection using the 3.5 connection wire connected to the headphone port on my TV and

First let me say that I suffer a serious hearing loss which makes it difficult to watch television with my wife because I have to have the volume up so loud and even then I can't hear everything. I have had two sets of sennheiser RS 120's for a few years now and loved them. My wife wanted to get me these for Christmas this year because they were apparently capable of surround sound. Now I'm not an audiophile but I will try to point out some pro's and con's here.The 175's are an over the ear fit as opposed to the 120's being an on the ear fit. The 175's fit much tighter which is very nice when

From my initial experience with these, they are absolutely phenomenal! The sound is crystal clear, and the bass is impressive, with 2 options to choose from; great bass, or extreme bass! The surround sound is a cool added bonus too, with two levels to choose from.Now the issues... First of all, I just want to say, the setup was super simple and awesome. I used the Digital Optical Audio Toslink Cable that was included in the box and connected it directly from my TV's Digital Optical Audio out to the Sennheiser dock for the best audio connection possible. I completed the setup process as per the

I bought these to replace a pair of Sony MDR RF-6000s and use them mostly for TV/Movies. The Sonys cut out and picked up lots of interference from wifi and other 2.4ghz traffic (I live in a city environment with easily 25 wifi networks in range). Overall, they've been great and are well worth the money.Signal:So far, the Sennheisers have been flawless with no dropouts or signal loss. As above, I live in a pretty interference-heavy environment. Haven't really range tested them, but they'll easily go into the next room with no problem.Sound Quality:I played around with the bass boost and surroun

These things are great! I was a little hesitant to pay so much for headphones, but I don't regret it. They sound great and the charge lasts a long time. I haven't run out of battery yet. The charging station is great. The headphones snap right into place when you put them on the station. Highly recommend.

April 19, 2022: Dropped rating from 4 star to 1!I bought a pair of what I thought were HDR 175 headphones. Looking at the site today, Amazon labels these as RS 175 RF Wireless Headphones, yet the photos show HDR 175. Why is this a problem? Because the product designation matters when pursuing a warranty or troubleshooting issue.I've purchased what I thought were HDR 175s several times at Amazon, and have loved the headphones. (See former reviews below). Having only the day before yesterday (April 17, 2023) unboxed and plugged in the headphones I purchased in September 2022, I noticed that afte

After reading the reviews on these I was cautiously optimistic thinking that the bad reviews were by more likely user error. The optical connection is the way to go.I was looking for a way to listen to the TV without bothering the family. I have insomnia and I listen to something on headphones most of the night. I have been using Sony M3’s and M4’s for the last 10 years and was content that I had the best sound in the price point. Comfort is a big factor for me. The Sonys are comfortable for the long haul no doubt.The first time I put the 175’s on I thought this is not going to be a comfortabl

StrengthsSound quality really good for wireless, the best i have heard in fact for wireless. Better than a lot of wired too, to my ears these sound wonderful. I have a lot of headphones and am into audio as well. I think the sound would suit the tastes of 90% of people. For movies these kill, got me though when my daughter was in infant :) They extremely conformable with easily replaceable pads. i upgraded to the felt pads you can buy the 185 pads and they work fine. They are better than the stock ones that come with these for those of us that like the feel of felt.Simply fun to listen to. Clo
