You may be wondering what a gaming website would be doing reviewing a non gaming headset but there is a method to our madness. For many years now Sony and Microsoft have not only produced two great consoles but also marketed them as not only gaming consoles but multi media hubs.

There may be years of your life where there's no need for a set of full-sized wireless headphones, but there are other times when a good pair is the wisest investment in audio that you could make.

Lossless wireless tech; Good build quality; Strong bass response

Boxy mid-range; Wireless comes with price premium

The Sennheiser RS 170 is priced at £179.99 although by shopping around you should be able to purchase this product nearer £140.   For this price you get a good quality headset with wireless capability.

The sound quality provided by the Sennheiser RS 170s makes them one of the best sets of wireless headphones we've ever used.

We have been waiting for Kleer Audio Technology to appear in home headphones and are thrilled that Sennheiser has led the way. Wireless headphones are nothing new. For many years there have been battery-powered headphones available, receiving from transmitter units that connect to a headphone socket...

You sell the HDR170 wireless headphones but don't list or sell the complete RS170 system on you website. Why offer the HDR170 when a new customer needs the whole thing. Now I have to return the HDR170 and find the RS170 somewhere else.

The solution to the wireless issue for me was to play around with the channel that my router was using to broadcast. I think I have it set to 1 now instead of auto. This has resulted in no issues as the headphones and the wireless network are not on the same frequency anymore.

Still wireless and have pretty good sound; Surround is nice as is the extra bass; Lightweight and easy to use; You do not hear much outside noise

My previous review was with the headphones at work; This one is for home; Shorter range than stated; Interference with other wireless products - specifically with wireless usb cards for computers.

Great sound quality but the buttons on the headset are very difficult (virtually impossible) to use. In addition, the buttons on the control button can't be pressed with one hand - must use one hand to hold the base while the other presses the button.

Terrible ergonomics

After wasting money on TV Ears headphones, and doing A LOT of research on numerous websites before spending money on these headphones, I chose these Sennheiser headphones and have not regretted it at all. The headphones are comfy on your head and the sound is crystal clear.

Used in the bedroom so I can watch TV without sound bothering my wife when she is sleeping. Works perfectly in that regard.

Comfortable; Great Sound
