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

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.

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.

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

Sound signature is quite sculpted. Can distort in Bass mode on deep bass tracks at high volumes. Not portable; only for home use

These do what the 165 didn't. They allow my husband to hear the TV perfectly while we watch it at normal volume. The 165 were a waste of time. The 175 are perfect.

Sounds good but having trouble with optical cable and my system so not getting all that earphones are supposed to put out.

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.

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!

Sennheiser's new RF-based wireless headphone system is easy to set up and delivers strong performance for both movie watching and music listening.

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.

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