QuestionWhat is latency (sound delay) on these headphones using a fiber optic hookup? How close will the audio in the headphones match up to the TV speakers?
Asked 3 years ago by Willie.
- Answer Here are my results after a thorough but completely unscientific test under quiet living room conditions. I sat approximately 10 feet away from a new Sony 85 inch TV (with fiber optic hookup) and listened through my Sennheiser RS 175 headphones, and the TV, to 10 minutes of sharp noises (mostly gunshots at a private target range). If there was any sound delay at all it should have been quite easy to hear it. There was no delay that I could detect nor has there been during the 4 months that I've owned the headphones. For typical home viewing, the audio in the headphones matches the tv speakers (and the picture) beautifully. As a former announcer (not a degreed engineer though) I'm pretty picky about sound and these do sound great.

Asked 5 years ago by jenn.
- Answer Yes the headphones available at Best Buy contained all the necessary accessories to set them up. the Best Buy description does not actually detail what's in the box but I called them and they weren't sure, so I bought it and the accessories were indeed in the box. The headphones work very well with our entertainment system.

QuestionWhy does the charger have a red blinking light?
Asked 1 year ago by Rickster.
- Answer If it is a red blinking light on the transmitter/charger, there is a battery fault detected. This means the one or more of the rechargeable batteries inside the transmitter/charger is having issues. Those batteries themselves may need charged up. You will want to take them out and recharge them. And they suggest only using rechargeable batteries in the unit. You may also go direct to sennheiser.com and download the full info on these including troubleshooting.
