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.

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.

Excellent product if you don't want to run cables from your TV to your headphones. The build quality is great. The sound is good. The wireless transmitter does not decode Dolby digital, but just PCM. No complaint though as it comes with surround sound button which is good enough.

Surround sound

I bought these wireless headphones about 6 months ago and have used them late at night primarilt not to disturbe everyone in the house. Man what a great buy. Very comfortable. I have been used to high end home cinema set ups and how do sennheiser get the surround sound to work Its Awesome.

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.

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...
