The Sennheiser RS 175 RF Wireless Headphone System offers impressive wireless sound, a comfortable fit and extended range (through walls), and easily connects to your TV, computer or any audio source with the included cables; Connection is rock-solid and features include faux surround and bass boost modes.

Somewhat pricey compared with Bluetooth options; base station/charging stand feels a little cheap.

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.
