Sennheiser RS-170

Sennheiser RS170 report from a non expert

These wireless headphones are really superb. I read many reviews before buying them and all of the positive comments turned out to be correct. I am not a hi fi / sound expert but I do know that any kind of music sounds great on these phones. The sound is crystal clear with no interference at all.

Sennheiser RS 170 headphones offer CD-quality sound, sans wires

The $279.95 Sennheiser RS 170 is a set of wireless headphones with a base unit that doubles as a transmitter and a battery charger. One of the nicest things a reviewer can say about wireless headphones is that they don't sound like wireless headphones, and the RS 170 certainly succeeds on that...

Sennheiser RS 170 review: Sennheiser RS 170

The RS 170 continues Sennheiser's unchanging dedication to sonic clarity and they're well worth the price for anyone looking to grab wireless sound from a TV, AV receiver, cable box, or game console. The $279.95 Sennheiser RS 170 is a set of wireless headphones with a base unit that doubles as a transmitter and a battery charger. One of the nicest things a reviewer can say about wireless headphones is that they don't sound like wireless headphones, and the RS 170 certainly succeeds on that score. Connectivity is limited to just one analog input, which might be a deal breaker for some potential buyers, but the idea is that you hook up the transmitter to your TV or AV receiver, and then run your sources, like your cable box, Blu-ray player, or games, etc., through the TV or receiver. If that's what you're looking to do, the RS 170 is definitely worthy of your consideration.

A Wireless Headset : Sennheiser RS 170 WIreless Headset

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.

I'm using these to listen to our TV; they are connected to the headphone out. I bought them to replace my failed Sony MDR-RF4000K, but I'm not too sure if it was worth it.

great lil' product

great sound, modest price. max cordles convenience.

Good and Bad

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.

i preffered my rs120s

i like wireless hedphones and these are ok, i preffered my rs 120s also bought from richersounds though. this is due to the fact i preffered the softer 120s cup and also the 120s turned off after a bit when sound signal lost ie tv turned off.

3rd Party Vendor Sarjo might not replace your defective product (or even answer your requests)

I cannot accurately rate the product, since it was defective from the start. I have purchased items from Amazon for years now. They are usually quick to resolve any issues. Unluckily for me, I bought these headphones from one of their third party vendors.
