Rs 175 As Gaming Headphones

This is our second set of Sennheiser RS 175 headphones. It's helped my husband a lot. Makes everything clear for him without turning the volume of the TV up.

The sound quality is excellent and the headphones are worth the price. I'd give the Sennheiser RS 175's 10 stars if the headphone cushions breathed a little better. The rubberized cushion covers get a little hot after an hour or so. My old 135's came with a felt or velour cover that stayed a cooler longer.

The RS 175 is extremely easy to use and sounds great. I hooked it up with my analog TV headphone out jack, and you can play the headphones by themselves, or at the same time as the optical digital TV out plays through the audio video amplifier into my corded speakers. That way if noisy people enter our living room I can just slip on the headphones and not have to ask them to be quiet or to leave, and I don't have to jack up the sound coming out of the speakers. Also, you just turn them on and they are automatically connected, you don't have to take any additional steps or try to debug any issues. The audio quality is very good and the headset is comfortable.

Let's face it; built in television speakers have never been hi fidelity. To make matters worse, flat screen tv speakers are tiny and point downward, not toward the viewer. Throw in room acoustics and outside noise and folks that are hard of hearing don't have a very rewarding tv viewing experience. I previously had a competing brand of headphones which seemed to muffle human voices. They really didn't help much. I needed something better. The Sennheiser RS 175 headphones had very good reviews that prompted me to get a pair. Wow! What a difference! Now I can watch NASCAR races or football games and hear the announcers over the racecars or the crowd. I can hear every word spoken on my favorite tv programs. Something else that was so exasperating was trying to hear what was being said in video clips with music playing in the background. Not a problem anymore. The Sennheiser RS 175 headphones are very comfortable and block outside noise very well. I can wear them all evening with zero discomfort. I haven't even had to adjust the controls other than volume and they sound wonderful. I haven't used them yet to play a music CD or a Blue Ray movie, but they appear to have good dynamic range. I couldn't be happier with these headphones. The only problem now is that my wife gets annoyed because she can't talk to me when I'm wearing them. Oh well.

So far, I can tell no difference between this set from the original set that came with the RS 175 set. That is a good thing...both work flawlessly, and the sound is excellent.

I sat on my RS 160 so it was time to replace my Headphone. The RS 175 is a great improvement over the 160. More controls and it fits over my ears completely so all the sound is captured.

A significant improvement over earlier versions of Sennheiser wireless headsets. The RS 175 system sound is noticeably cleaner. Also appreciate the option to employ surround sound and bass boost.

It is working perfectly. I do not hear very well and I need the TV sound to be higher than the rest of my family. This is a great model the headphone is very superior to MDR-RF985RK Wireless Radio Frequency Headphone System of the same brand, I do not recommand the last one because the Volume and Tune are manual, behind your head, and moved when you rest your head on your armchair. The RS 175 is automatic and therefore the settings when done do not need to be changed. However definitively this RS 175 is much too heavy for 3 hours or more of TV show and also too hot, you need to remove it one minute time to time.

I bought this HDR 175 Headset for RS 175 System and it's been great!!! The system supports two of them and they both work simultaneously with excellent sound quality.

this is the second RS 175 I own. Both are excellent for watching TV for my hard of hearing problems. family can listen to TV normally while I hear every word on my headphone.
