Description

Note:

In most cases, sound doesn't come from the television's speakers anymore if you connect the headphones to your television. That's unless your television has the option to emit sound from both the TV's speakers and the headphones. You can find this in your television's menu.

These headphones only work if your television has an audio output that supports these headphones. If this isn't the case, these headphones won't work with your television.

Listen to your TV sound without bothering others with the Sennheiser RS 175. Like a heavy bass? Turn this on with the touch of a button, or choose virtual surround sound to make a thrilling movie scene even more intense. Feel free to grab a drink from the kitchen without missing anything thanks to the 100m wireless range. You connect the transmission station to your TV or another device with the included optical cable or 3.5mm audio cable.

Superb headphones!

• bass
• wearing comfort
• Easily changeable batteries

I bought these headphones when they were just on the market.
I ordered this by chance because there were no reviews yet.
I certainly don't regret this! What a beautiful headset!

Before this I had a Sony mdr-ds6500. The Sony is finished talking when the RS175 comes into play.

First I tested it with different music genres. The bass is phenomenal without distorting.
The surround is of course not like a real 7.1 speaker setup. However, this is played truthfully.

The wearing comfort is optimal. The shells rotate well with the shape of your head.

The RS175 uses regular AAA batteries. If you run out of juice during the film, you can replace it effortlessly.

The headphones moderately cut off the outside noise.

The headphones are not cheap, but they are well worth it!
Sennheiser is known for German reliability!

Good

I read in various reviews that the Sennheiser rs 175 can be connected to the Samsung Serif TV in such a way that I can perceive the sound of the TV through the headphones and the rest of the family simultaneously through the speakers of the TV. Can someone tell me how to connect the headphones and what to change in the menu of the TV?

The headphones initially feel large and bulky, but you get used to it very quickly. Seals well and provides superior sound for speech, film and music.
