Customer Ratings & Reviews

We have two TVs set up with these. The idea is wonderful. My hard(er) of hearing husband can hear the dialogue better and can listen at a level he can hear without it being too loud for me. However, both sets have had to be replaced in 2-3 years. Of course, the same model isn't available. Hopefully this will last longer. Furthermore, using the same setup as the previous headset, the sound from the DVD player cannot be heard through the headset.

Sounds great fits like a glove very comfortable. Works well when kids or loud people are around so you can still hear the T.V. I like it very much.

We have tried Sony, RCA, Panasonic and a couple of others. These are so much better. You can hear every word and note. Easy to set up and use.

This is my second set of wireless Sennheiser headphones. I got about eight years of useful life out of my first set, until the (non-removable) battery in the headset stopped working. Therefore, the first thing I noticed in a positive way about this model (RS 175) was the fact that it runs on two (rechargeable) AAA-sized batteries. Not only can you replace AAA batteries as needed, you can have your headphones ready for use at all times—since, obviously, you can switch between sets of batteries. These aren’t noise-canceling headphones, but the over-the-ear design naturally does a bit to muffle the noise coming from your surroundings. I use the headphones to stay connected to what I’m listening to as I move around the house. If you—like me—use a device that has a 6.3mm headphone jack, note that the RS 175 transmitter station comes with a 3.5mm plug, and there is no adapter included. (In my case, that was no big deal; I did have an adapter handy.) The wireless range is specified at 328 feet. I haven’t been more than 30 feet away from the transmitter, but I can say this: Standing close to a microwave oven in operation can cause slight interferences, and slight dropouts may result from a lot of steel and concrete in the path. Okay, that was to be expected, and other than that, transmission/reception has been working very well. The transmitter sits about 3 feet away from the Wi-Fi router, and so far I have never noticed one interfering with the other. The controls on the headset are easy to get used to. The buttons are set up in a 4x4 array that is easy to “feel out.” It is also easy to learn what each button is for (volume up; volume down; surround sound; and bass boost). I don’t use the bass boost much; the sound coming from my stereo is just fine, and the headphones reproduce it well. The surround-sound options do make a difference, and there is that one option I have been keeping the phones set to, because it makes the sound “spatial” without making it feel artificial. The phones are adjustable three ways: up and down; tilt; and swivel. That part of the design works well for me, if the sideways pressure/grip is a little tight for my liking (my previous Sennheiser phones sat over my ears more loosely). The fact that I wear glasses is not the issue here, but the pressure does get a bit uncomfortable after some time, and it does get warm underneath these phones. Okay, that drawback is relatively minor; I only need the headphones for maybe up to 30 minutes at a time. All in all, this seems like a reliable gizmo that does what I need it to do, and does it well.

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.

Enjoy the sound!!! The added base sound makes it more enjoyable.

These earphones have absolutely wonderful sound qualities; everything the sales person said, beautiful deep bass qualities and multiple methods of sound projections to the ears. Only drawback is paucity of directions.

Good sound great for watching loud action movies and not waking anyone up

Works and sounds great. Enables me to watch and listen to television without blasting the volume for others in the room

This item was easy to install & sound is excellent.they are better than my old pair.

Now this should have headphones work really great and have excellent sound. It has a couple of controls that most of the headsets don't have. I love them. And I plan to buy a second set within a couple of days. ... and I love the charging setup also. Easy as pie!

I've had 3 wireless headphones and this is by far the best. Well worth the price.

The best BUT JUST PURCHASED 1 MONTH AGO AND HAVE NOT QUALIFIED THIS PRODUCT YET.

My husband can hear TV well While I can listen to TV at normal volume level

Great clear sound! Really separates the sounds and have a long range, can get up and go into other rooms of my house and still hear what is going on! My only complaint is that the on & off button could be a tad larger, and the volume buttons also. I think if they glowed in the dark it would be a great addition also! But excellent sound quality and very comfortable to wear!

The sound is great and since these are over the ear headphones, they really deaden ambient noise amazingly. They are a bit snug, so I have to periodically readjust them for long-term wearing comfort. Charging is a bit tricky. You have to play with them a bit when you put them on the charging stand to get them in the correct position. I also find that the charge doesn't last as long as my old Sennheiser HDR 120 headphones, which I still use on TV in a different room. Set up was pretty straight forward with the optical connection, though I was glad I had read some of the Q&As before purchasing. It's the only reason I knew I had to set the audio output to PCM. One downside for us is we can't have one person listen through headphones and one listening through the television. I suspect it's because we do not have a soundbar or other audio components hooked up to the TV. Our setting choices are either TV speakers or Audio system on our Sony Bravia XR77A80L OLED TV. Not a deal breaker though. Still enjoying great sound!

top notch...checked all boxes..i'm a hard grader but this was as near to an A as I can give...highly recommend

I bought these for my mother who had difficulty hearing the television despite blue tooth surround sound system, she put them on the first time and her face was priceless , she was amazed that she could actually finally hear the television!! She's been loving them ever since! Best purchase ever!!

The RS 175 is a great product. I had decent range on it (at least 3 rooms with walls and still clear). It plays fairly loud but still isolates the sound. It is not the loudest volume headphone but I keep it at most 90% as I find it too loud beyond that. It has a base boost option but I find I like the phones without it as it sounds not real when turned on.

Great for watching tv while the rest of the house is asleep. The quality is good and the headset is comfortable. Can go outside and still hear with great sound.
