Customer Ratings & Reviews

Having a hard time understanding the TV, these earphones were the perfect solution! I can hear the shows now!

I can say that this headset for my TV is wonderful. I had an older headset, but it would not work with my new smart TV so I did some research and I chose Sennheiser headsets for my TV. And for me, it was an excellent choice.

The best sounding headphones I have ever owned. They fit and feel great and cancel out all other noise. Love the side remote sound and volume control.

Bought this to keep peace in the family as I am a late nighter and my spouse goes to bed earlier...want to hear my TIVO'd programs late at night and not bother anyone else. They work GREAT!!! Easy to install and long time in between charges. Love the bass and accuvoice control. Sennheiser products never disappoint.

These headphones have a great sound. They can even be used as personal speaker when laying down just turn them all the way up.

This Sennheiser RS175 was purchased because it was top rated for TV, RF connection, and had comfortable fitting earpads. The sound is outstanding. Latency is not an issue. Extremely easy to setup. The fake surround sound is really nice. Best Buy had a very competitive price. These are great for the TV and I have used them for PC output as well.

For me, I love these! The sound is wonderful and I thought they were VERY easy to hook up to my TV. Again, for me no issues and I highly recommend them. Oh I suppose if there was one negative that would be cost but then again anything worth a darn is pricey, otherwise I give em two thumbs up!

Where to start? Sound quality was way better than expected. Full range and captures subtle sounds (no I don’t know the technical terms). Used with tv for late night watching and wife sleeping. Already had sound bar on optical slot but an inexpensive optical splitter from Amazon took care of issue easily. Ear pieces more comfortable than most.

This headset is comfortable and has great sound. The bass and surround work really well. Just wish there was a better way to hook to receiver. Have it hooked through headset port. Must plug in and out to watch tv with or without it. Most receivers do not have optical out. If hooking just to a tv should work great I think.

Good sound quality and battery life so far after about one month use. However, reception distance is not neat what is advertised. Intermittent and complete disconnect happens at 50-60 feet!

Works great comfortable to wear .helps keeping noise down at night

Now Sennheiser is one of my favorite brands for audio. I own their HD 280 pro studio headphones and when used properly, they sound amazing!!! Unfortunately, I immediately returned these headphones because I have used better ones. I'd say the only nice-to-haves are the incredibly easy functionality, the wireless range and the fact that you can use an optical cable with it. However, the sound is the concern. It's not that they sound bad, but rather they are suited too much for TV. The sound doesn't really hit you since the bass is lacking, so you won't enjoy action movies. It basically sounds like you're sitting right next to your TV speakers. To be clear, they don't sound bad. But they're not very immersive either. Also, they weren't entirely comfortable. The padding material also feels cheap for the price I paid. I expected more from a brand like Sennheiser. Unless you're specifically looking for headphones for private listening, I'd recommend you look for a 5.1 soundbar/woofer combo around the $300-400 range since they kind of sound better and more immersive.

We had to wait for a special occasion to purchase these because they’re a little expensive, but we’ve been searching for surround sound headphones and for the price and even though these are actually simulators, they’re awesome and worth it. The only problem is we have to shut down our WiFi router because they conflict and the sound skips a lot. But they’re steady as long as the WiFi is off.

The Sennheiser headphones were a birthday gift for my husband. He really likes them and how good they are at helping him hear tv. They are very good at noise canceling.

L9ve it helps out so much with my hearing thank you

I absolutely love these. I've had them for 2 years now and I use them every time my wife is sleeping

The trend now of not including user manuals made it difficult for ME to figure out why the sound was so 'tubby' - so I arranged to return them. Fortunately, the day before the Geeks were to deliver some new equipment and take back the headphones, NO MORE HOUSE CALLS. In the meantime, I worked with the Sennheisers, figured out how they worked, and they're fabulous.

THESE ARE THE ONES. At first we bought the insignia (great quality but interfered with 5ghz wifi) and the Sony (static issues -- probably a bad cord connection to the tv). We upgraded and these have amazing quality. Really solid, amazing surround sound, great range. (Also Best Buy occasionally has these on sale, so keep an eye out!)

The multilingual instructions leave a lot to be desired. BUT, the learning curve pays off. I particularly like the selector switch on the back that allows selecting either optical or analog input. That allows me to select different sources independent of the rest of my system. The phones are quite comfortable and the sound is great.

Delivers rich, clear sound (balanced if you don't use bass boost). Solid base/headset connection without interruptions within at least 30 ft. in my house. Easy-to-use headset controls, but the bass boost toggle is too close to the volume control.
