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.

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.

Sennheiser RS 175 Wireless?Headphones
Like many city dwellers, apartment living has forced a lot of compromises when it comes to my setting up a workable home theater system. The limited amount of space and the nearness of neighbours necessitates creative solutions which wireless headphones can easily solve.

Great sound isolation
It was easy to set up. I put the optical input from the TV and the analog from the headphone out on the PC. Sound quality on both is very good. The acoustic isolation from outside the ear shell is better than my noise cancelling headphones!
