Bought these headphones because our new TV didn’t have Bluetooth (I know, shame on me for not checking first). They were a little expensive, but the quality is there. Sound is great. Very comfortable and light. Controls are easy to manipulate while wearing. Over the ear blocks out the majority of background noise. Highly recommend.

I have been using Sennheiser Wireless Headphones for over twenty years due to severe loss of hearing. One of my headphones finally quit working after 20 years plus, so obviously I wanted to replace with a Sennheiser product. So far, I like the new product, but I do miss being able to adjust volume for each ear. I am counting on this product being one of those "they still make them like they used to", and not the opposite.

I did not hear a lot of distortion with these earphones. Ergonomically the volume control consists of two buttons (- and +) that are placed below a bass boost button and a 3 position surround button. It is hard to hit the intended button to control volume. The bass boost is controlled by one pushbutton, and it is either on or off. The bass boost is too much bass in a movie with a low frequency drone as in some science fiction movies. The low surround sound option is pretty good, but for some content such as symphonic music or opera one might prefer the stereo position instead of surround sound. The high surround sound option is way too much echo for my taste and I don't use that setting. The surround sound off position produces the best audio. It would have been better to have a dial with a continuous choice of surround sound separtions. Similarly for the bass boost. The range of the headphones is not as great as the specs claim. They also cut out in the kitchen with the microwave on. I did find less audio distortion than in my old Sony MDR-DS6500 surround sound headphones. (The old Sony phones may have deterioated and distortion increased with age.) How good is the RS 175 sound? The stereo is not as good as high end Sennheiser HD 650's. Had the Sennheiser RS 175's had rotary or dial controls instead of push buttons, I might have given 5 stars. I am satisfied with the improvement over the old Sonys.

It was on sale for $175. A great value for headphone that outperform ones that cause twice as much. Bass is strong and deep without being muddle. Mid and high are clean and clear. I can wear it for over 3 hours without any discomfort. Battery life lasts a long time before you have to recharge it.

These are great headphones. Sound quality is pretty well. I bought these for my dad to watch tv at night without disturbing my mom while she sleeps. He told me he had an issue with them cutting off once or twice when the dock was connected via optical cable to the tv and that he connected them via AUX cable like his previous headphones and haven’t had the issue again. They are comfortable and have great range and charging time! I don’t have any complaints besides the large price and lack of Bluetooth connectivity. I wanted to get a Bluetooth transmitter and some Bose or Sony headphones for him so he could use them with the TV and also a phone or tablet, so he would have them for dual purposes...but I was skeptical about latency issues with the tv. I researched it for a while and got mixed reviews when it came to latency with Bluetooth headphones and video...so I just went with these that are made for TV connectivity. Overall great headphones, but also a high price. Not as amazing as I was expecting but they work fine.

All I can is awesome!!! The voice on these headphones are so clear that you can have the volume way down and still hear every word, every note and every base beat. And when you feel like drowning out everything....It works just as well. No cords to worry about, it fits really well and comfortable. Great buy...

Decent Headphone but poor fit

The sound quality was comparable to my Bose QC15. However the RS 175 did not feel comfortable to wear at all. My head felt like it was being squeezed. In addition, the headphone cups produce moister over 10 min of wearing the headphone. Overall, it's pricy for entertainment headphone, is not aesthetic, and allows moisture to be trapped in the headphone cups.

Great sounding headphone. Frequency response is great, from clear treble to strong defined bass - even without the bass boost on. Ear cups are plush and comfortable, though the tension is a bit tight and tiresome for extended use (over 4 hours). Battery life is very good and so is range.

One of the best electronic products I have ever bought. Simple to use. Fabulous sound. Rich, enhanced highs, midrange and base. Easy to use controls on the headset. Comfortable fit and feel on head and ears. No complaints whatsoever. Easy to install.

Fantastic headphones! Easy to pair with our smart tv. My husband uses these to watch tv, as his hearing is poor. With these headphones, we can watch tv together without having the tv on the highest volume! Would buy again!

Wow I can finally hear my tv shows and movie Blurays. These headphoones let me hear the presentation regardless of how much noise is being generated in the room from other sources. I also notice background sounds in the programs like for instance a scene inside a car which on the tv speaker only allows the dialog to be heard with these headphones I can hear the background music. I liked them so much I stopped by the store the other day to let the saleman know how plased I was with the purchase. The only drawback is during motion the sound will some times cut in and out but most of the time I can walk outside for an errand and still hear the show while outside.

These are great. As far as these go I haven’t heard a difference between normal, pressing th base or pressing the sure buttons. That’s why you get a 4 not a 5.
I just have to complain about my tv. I wish I didn’t have to manually change the settings every time I want to use these.

This headset was perfect for setting up my senior hard-of-hearing folks up with something of quality and not another challenge to their abilities. Great sound, adjustable surrounds and pretty comfy fit. Wireless is the way to go. Purchased in the Magnolia section where the staff knows their products well. Good recommendation. Might even get more pairs for the rest of us.

This replaces Sony wireless which used IR technology, which is very limiting in terms of distance and line of site blockage when you get up to answer a phone or work in the kitchen while listening to the news.
Dramatic improvement in sound clarity, range (of course), as well as comfort and isolation from external sounds (almost as good a noise cancelling headphones). Convenient and rapid recharging. I also purchased s second head set. Two can listen to the same program simultaneously. I chose RS175 for the option of optical or electrical connection to the source. Keep in mind, this is not degraded bluetooth technology. It is true HiFi sound. Wife was big critic of previous headphones but considers this the best of all the items in my new TV / AVR purchase.

Replacing an expensive Sony headset where the padding started to disintegrate in a few months. This is way better quality and provides more functionality.
