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.

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.

Sennheiser is good quality name

$279.95 Really

Some music lovers prefer the experience of headphones over in-room speakers. For music, especially two-channel music, I can certainly understand the appeal. Headphones are a cost-effective way to get great sound and the perfect solution for shared spaces where quiet listening environments are the...

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.
