Sennheiser Earbud Headphones Cx 175

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.

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.

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.

The SENNHEISER IE 4 earphones give great Bass.The sound is clear and crisp.I bought these buds for my COWON D2.I also tried CX 300 but specially Bass is better than CX 300.Also Mids and Treble.For this price you can buy another brand isolation earbuds they may be more successful on isolating but i can say that sound that Sennheiser IE 4 give is better than the phones in this price range. It has microdrive not diaphragm so this is an advantage.One con is sound isolating but it is more important that an earphone gives rich sound. Problems Encountered: No problems...

I do not like rubber base earbud. never fits my ear but this headphones works better for me. no rubber change.

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.

Looking for new headphones and I was tired of the inner earbud + earwax struggles. A friend recommended this brand, and I love it!

I am single sided deaf and can't stand earbud style headphones. I had such a hard time finding a headphone that would route all the sound to one side and go over the ear. This is perfect for my needs. It works beautifully and now I can listen to my iPod again

These headphones are amazing. They are the most comfortable earbud-style headphones I have ever worn, and they sound great too. I use them mostly when biking to work so I can listen to podcasts and still hear traffic and other ambient noise, and for that purpose they are, hands down, the best option available and it's not even close. Better than bone-conducting, better than earbuds with transparency mode, better than anything else I've ever used. I've use them while walking, running, and even a 3-hour road trip (my car is old and doesn't have bluetooth, hence the need for headphones) and they are just amazing. Don't get them if sound quality is your #1 priority, but do get them if you want amazing, lightweight headphones that let you hear your music and podcasts while not shutting out the world around you.
