Customer Ratings & Reviews

It is a very good headphone. It is easily adjusted for volume, surround and bass on the right cup. It is a bit slippery on my fine hair so I wear a nit cap. Also the over ear cups hurt my pierced ear so I have to extend the cup arms down a bit. It takes up to 16 hours to charge fully for the first time. It helps to keep my neighbor in the apartment below from calling the manager too much.

Bought for my 99 year old mom. Works great, she loves it.

These headphones are fantastic! Little to none additional noise during use. Extremely quiet!

The first 3 1/2 weeks after I bought them all was great surround sound. Everything was excellent! after that sound would drop away. And i would have to turn my head back and forth to pick it back. Then the next day it was back to normal. Then the next would do it again.so too late to return them. To hi priced to say oh well I was thinking about what can be done with them

I have always struggled with getting good headphones audio that captures a cinema feel with booming bass and clear speech. I also happen to live in a major city in an apartment building, so blasting a surround sound set up is a no-go. While I have the excellent Sony WHXM4s that pair with bluetooth to my tv, the audio delay and lip syncing issues that come with bluetooth are horrendous and really breaks immersion. These headphones were exactly what I wanted. First, the overall sound quality right out of the box is already amazing. I would have been perfectly happy even if there were no effects to choose. The bass is already boomy without being overpowered. Speech is crystal clear. I seriously have picked up on dialogue that used to be garbled. You can toggle a bass booster or a virtual surround sound effect. I use the bass booster on certain content that needs a bit more oomph, but I found the virtual surround effect to just make things sound tinny and leave it off. They already have an immersive sound without it. They also get LOUD. Almost every pair of bluetooth headphones have had disappointing max volumes. I love that I can crank it and never even get up to the max volume. Next, there is absolutely no audio delay or lip syncing issues I can perceive. The radiofrequency signal is vastly superior to bluetooth in this regard. Other pros include easy charging (just plop it on the stand when done) and solid battery life (Have binged for about 6 hours without charging and no issues). The range is also ridiculous. I went to the other end of my apartment and on the porch with no signal loss. They are also very comfortable. Absolutely no issues wearing for hours at a time. I have very few cons with this as I think this is arguably the best way to watch movies with headphones. The virtual surround effect is not great though, as mentioned. You also may run into interference because it is radiofrequency. I had a disconnect once, but this was solved by turning off my 2.4 ghz channel on my wifi router. Also, you will get interference if you run a microwave (but only if it is close by). I will also say that charging stand, while functional, is a little cheap-feeling. Lastly, a very minor thing, but I wish there were audio prompts when you turn it on or when the battery is low. Overall, these are just nit-picks and I am beyond satisfied with these headphones.

From the manufacturer's description that says it can go 330 ft away from the receiver and through walls I just want 20 ft into my kitchen and I told him lost reception with receiver I was still in line of sight the receiver,so don't believe what the manufacturer description says it is not true,I'm returning this Sennheiser RS 175 headset back to Best Buy I expected more for price I paid for this headset.I don't recommend this headset because of limited range

I wear, and have worn, A LOT of headphones. Partly because I have a slight hearing loss in one ear and I don't want to blast sound from the TV just to hear. I've tried some less expensive products from companies who we all think are leaders in this industry. While the Sennheiser RS 175 headphones are on the pricey end, I probably could have saved myself time and money in the long run if I would have started my headphone journey by picking the RS 175. I no longer have a single iota of an issue with static/interference like I did previously. The sound these produce along with no more issues with interference alone make them well worth the premium cost. I've worn these for hours and hours with no discomfort at any point of contact. Having an over the ear headphones keeps the majority of the noise contained. If you are really blasting the volume in the headphones, there will be some sound that others, not wearing headphones, can hear. As I previously mentioned, I have tried all types of headphones from a super long wired set of headphones to multiple different wireless sets and I could have saved all of that time and money if I would have selected the Sennheiser - RS 175 headphones to begin with.

TOP NOTCH! Why are gamers not using these more often? Audio quality is excellent. Wireless 24 bit 196kz! Seriously! Great battery life, and pros for having the ability to change batteries out whenever you need. Comfy and easy to use. No brainer. I game with these, work audio master with them, everything sounds great and accurate! And the range on the headphones is insane. Crazy Insane. Cons? 1. Charging takes a while. DEF CHARGE TO FULL first time! I know you want to try but it does take 16 hours lol. 2. I had one time it was cutting out. They change RF channels everytime they shut down. So if it cuts out? Shut it down and turn it on.

so long story short, I live in a Motorhome that I restored. its 20 feet long and 8 feet wide with 9000 miles. I bought it for nothing, rebuilt it, and made it mine. I have very limited space, and enjoy movies, tv, music, ebooks etc. bluetooth quickly proved to be an issue if I let even one MM of metal between the headphones and the source, it cut out. period. not to mention, the bluetooth signal is very power draining and weak at that. these are different. you charge two AAA batteries either on the stand in the headphones themselves, or you can charge the AAA outside it. I use a nitecore smart charger, i4 with 12v source. they charge within an hour, and give me a week of everyday use in one charge. I'm able to connect the headphone jack directly from my MacBook Air(2015) to the headphone transmitter stand. I can get several hundred feet like this, a little less if its through the front section of the motorhome. I check power draw on every single thing I use, awns this is where these headphone sheen the most. when turned on and being used, they draw about 4 watts. I don't have a more precise way to measure, but 4w is very, very little especially for how nice the sound is. I understand the AAA provide most of the power, while the stand only transmits the signal. it works very well. as for the headphones themselves, outstanding quality. as I've said I live in a motorhome, so these things vibrate, bounce around(they don't fall or anything), and still work every single day. pros -comfy and do NOT clamp onto my head, I'm, 6'3" with a big head at that. I often forget I'm wearing them. -great sound, I use these over my Sony mdr1000x whenever i can. I only use the Sonys when I'm in a loud area. long, long battery life with REPLACEABLE AAA. this is key, if you take care of these and nothing ever shiorts out inside, they should also indefinitely. batteries don't hold charge? no problem, put new ones in. -power draw is 4w, incredible -bass boost and functions, I've turned on bass boost the day I bought them and never turned it off. I like bass, and don't like making other people hear it. -not noise cancelling(eyes its a pro, I need to be bale to hear if anyone is outside) CONS: pricey, though I payed 170$ during a 4th of July sale bulky, large cups. limited space, its great for me just know they are big. each cup is like a slightly inflated baseball that was slightly squished by a giant, so its got the mass of two baseballs but kinda flattened -slow charging on stand. just buy them, they are amazing.

I've been having an issue hearing voices on the tv clearly, and thought I'd try these. After some research, these Sennheiser are highly rated, and for good reason. The battery lasts a long time (I've listened for hours with them, and I recharge them about every 2 or 3 days, just to make sure they don't die), they're pretty comfortable (although I get up and take them off every 30-60 minutes, for 5-10 minutes), and they have several sound controls from flat to surround, with "Bass Boost", which I don't use, because I don't listen to music, just tv. I think these were better for me than the 195's, because the voice quality is just as good with the 175. The connection hasn't dropped, even for a second, and I walk around the house at times, just to keep listening.

The sound is very good (not Bluetooth). The range is quite good. The over-the-ear cushion is the best compared to many other earphones I tried. I wore it for up to 2 hours without any discomfort. A big plus is that the battery is non-proprietary so theoretically it can be replaced with a non-rechargeable battery if you run out of juice. You just have to be careful NOT to put it back on the stand to charge when you have a regular battery in it, of course. Do it at your own risk...

These headphones are absolutely amazing. We purchased them for our dad, who is a disabled veteran and has some hearing loss. They have made such a huge difference in our home. He can now hear the TV clearly without us having to turn the volume up loud throughout the entire house. They also work great with hearing aids, which was extremely important for us and made the experience even better for him. The setup was very simple and user-friendly, which was a big plus. The sound quality is excellent, and the comfort allows him to wear them for extended periods without any issues. I highly recommend these headphones to anyone who shares a TV but needs two different volume levels. They’re a game-changer, especially for families with loved ones who have hearing difficulties.

Great Noise cancelling. Great sound. good fit, and stays in place. Had Sennheiser before, lasted 10 years before new dog tried them out. HA.

The headphones are actually really good. They sound great minus 7.1 surround. I'll get to that. They are comfy. They fit will. The battery life is awesome. The downside. The foam on the ears feel cheap but comfy. And as I said the surround around system is good as long as what your doing supports it. If you have it on for example a YouTube video is echos really really bad.

I use these mainly for gaming. Very good sound quality. Not the most comfortable to wear though till you dial it in perfectly and then they are ok. Wires are prone to being loosened by cats walking past it which results in a crackling noise, not a issue if you dont have a cat. Connectivity, can only go about 15-20 feet before audio starts cutting in and out, but my house is very solid so if you live in a house mostly compromised of drywall and dreams you can probably expect longer range.

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.

Due to my wife's hearing issues, whenever she would watch a TV show, she would turn up the volume much louder than I would care to enjoy. I needed wireless headphones for her so that I can focus on work in a quiet setting. Didn't want to buy the cheaper brand/model because I am all about quality. Setup was easy. The only thing that I had wait for were the batteries to charge. While you can use them after charging them for a bit, I decided to wait until they were fully charged before letting my wife try them out. These are top-notch headphones. I have a couple of Sennheiser wired headsets that I use for gaming and phone conferences, but never had any experience with the wireless headphones. My wife is very happy with the quality of sound that comes out of it, and I am happy with the fact that they do what they are supposed to do. One important thing to note: if you have a Samsung Smart TV and want to watch a movie that's on a USB device (hard drive/flash drive) or watch Netflix via its built-in app, then these will NOT work for you. Reason being is that the headphones require an analog/optical sound output connection to the wireless base station, but the Samsung Smart TV does not output its sound through that connection. While we can hear the sound coming from our DVD/Blueray player and from the TV itself, the Sennheiser is currently not compatible with any movie watching on USB devices that are directly connected to the Smart TV or Netflix via the built-in app. The only solution that I could find was to use a device that is connected to Smart TV (in this case, our Blueray Player), and then, connect my USB device to the Blueray player (thankfully, it had one). The Blueray player also has access to Netflix as well, so she can watch/listen to Netflix movies. The bottom line is that you need a device that is currently connected to the Smart TV, and then use its USB functionality / Netflix app, as the sound will be able to travel to the device and to your headphones via the optical/analog connection to the TV. Hopefully my review helped anyone interested in these headphones. Great headphones overall, but watch out for incompatibilities with Smart TV functionalities. If Sennheiser were able to make these headphones connect via bluetooth, then we would be all set, as USB stored movies and Netflix via the built-in TV app work just fine with bluetooth speakers.

Love these headphones, had these in my old house and I purchased them 4 years ago, they were awesome. Got broken in my recent move, so I went and got a new set. Just as good as they were the first time, That sound is incredible and I highly recommend, very easy setup. Make sure you charge them fully before you use them. Only charge them when they get down to about 20%. This will ensure you get long battery life.

I wanted a cordless set of headphones. Sennheiser is a brand that I have always trusted. These do not let down for sound and comfort. I decided to keep them after useing them.

Bought these for at night due to the fact I live in an apartment so I’m not blasting movies/tv shows/or games late at night and they sound amazing. Super easy to setup and battery lasts a long time. Also with these there’s zero latency which is great cause when I was originally just using Bluetooth headphones I would see people’s mouths move before I even heard the words. With these I don’t have that problem at all.
