Overall great headphones! Love the fact that it has optical and digital outputs, so I can connect PS3 and cable and just switch between inputs. I have been a Sennheiser user for more that 10 years, upgraded from RS130, which I have been using for 8,5 years and they still working!

Sennheiser RS 175
The home theater-focused wireless headphones category is, compared with the larger realm of Bluetooth headphones, a niche market. Sennheiser continues to fill it with quality offerings, however.
Pros:
- Powerful wireless audio output
- Digital and analog inputs
- Bass mode increases low-end dramatically, but can be disabled
- Excellent transmission-never stuttered during testing, even through walls
Cons:
- Sound signature is quite sculpted. Can distort in Bass mode on deep bass tracks at high volumes. Not portable
- only for home use

Sennheiser RS 175 Review
The Sennheiser RS 175 is a set of wireless headphones intended for home use that offer excellent range and thunderous bass. The home theater-focused wireless headphones category is, compared with the larger realm of Bluetooth headphones, a niche market. Sennheiser continues to fill it with quality offerings, however. Introduced at CES, the $279.95 Sennheiser RS 175 is a powerful set of wireless headphones, with a dedicated recharging stand and transmitter that accepts both analog and digital inputs from your home theater components. It's strictly for home use, using its own modulating transmitter instead of Bluetooth or another mobile-friendly standard. The sound signature is very sculpted, with bright highs and rich lows, as well as the ability to add more bass. There's also a Surround effect mode for movies and television. Purists seeking flat-response audio should steer clear, but if you love rumbling bass with your movies and music, the RS 175 is a solid wireless—but not portable—option to consider. If you want quality wireless audio on the go, the Harman Kardon BT is an excellent Bluetooth choice...

Too pricey and no bluetooth
If they are that good they need bluetooth. Otherwise it is a no go for myself. I have tried several iterations of wireless cans and I am slowly getting ready to make a purchase. But not for these cans. Just too much.
Pros:
- Sennheiser is good quality name
Cons:
- $279.95 Really

Sennheiser RS 175 Wireless Home Audio Headphones
Sennheiser is a company I have come to expect top quality products from. I reviewed the Momentum on-ear headphones in the past and loved them! When asked to review the RS 175, I was excited to see what these babies could do.

I've been listening to higher-end 2-channel headphone audio for more than 30 years. And while I own a number of exotic headphone amps and obscenely expensive sets of headphones, I do not have ‘phones for my home theatre.
