Reviews around product (5.00 of 5)

  • The entire experience was simply great - from the really impressive product to the service rendered
  • The HDR 170 is a great product and I wear them everyday for 6-8 hours at a time
  • I would recommend this product to anyone looking for wireless headset.
  • When the set arrived, it was very easy to set up, the material used to make the product is very nice and it doesn't look or feel cheap.
  • I've had a great many Sennheiser products over the years and they're almost always excellent.

Reviews around thing (5.00 of 5)

  • The important thing to me was that they have plenty of volume.
  • So I went for it and tried them out, the good thing with Sennheiser if you don't like them, just return them
  • First time charging of batteries it's an overnight affair but that's a good thing for prolonging their life span and usability
  • Another important thing: These headphones are "open" ear design
  • Good thing about this the range you get while you are away from TV

Reviews around battery (4.49 of 5)

  • but not as good as to convince myself to ditch $100 head set I own.
  • Good battery life, very stable connection, easy to setup
  • Good sound, comfortable padding, decent range (although if get two walls between, sound drops off), balance control helps for more hearing loss in one ear, good battery life (at least 12 hours).
  • : It seemed that the batteries were the issue
  • The battery is also very good, lasting over 8 hours of constant use and I am sure the battery could have gone much longer

Reviews around ear (4.42 of 5)

  • The buttons are in a circle along with separate buttons for the left and right ear and one to reset the volume at an equal level between the two
  • For instance, you think you're increasing the volume when actually you have just lowered the volume in the right ear
  • The headset also has left and right ear adjustment, so you can adjust in cas one ear had damage.
  • Hnoestly, everything about his product is great but for the longevity of the ear pads - those suck.
  • The button layout on the right ear cup is a little goofy, I'd prefer the volume buttons being further apart from the function buttons as you'll accidentally hit something wrong when just attempting to adjust the volume

Reviews around range (3.98 of 5)

  • They sound fantastic, they're shockingly comfortable for their weight, the wireless range is good, and the batteries hold a good charge
  • Good thing about this the range you get while you are away from TV
  • The sound quality is very good and the range is just amazing, I can be anywhere in the house and still listen to music or whatever
  • Range is poor, even 20 feet away and the sound start to crackle
  • The signal range is susceptible to disturbance; being near the microwave while it is cooking something will cut your connection out completely

Reviews around sennheiser (3.80 of 5)

  • so I went with the more expensive Sennheiser
  • I have a pair of Sennheiser HD650, which I like very much and it's a great value for money pair of headphones
  • I find the Sennheiser headphones quite comfortable, including hours of listening
  • I bought the Sennheiser RS 185 Wireless Headphones for my wife for Xmas 2015 because she always complained about the TV being too loud especially with movies over Netflix.
  • I've had a great many Sennheiser products over the years and they're almost always excellent.

Reviews around headset (3.57 of 5)

  • Comfort has exceeded my expectations, as the headset feels light with no pressure points
  • I think the 180 headset feels a little bit flimsy (almost plasticky), but the 185 headset is very solid (nice metal structure).
  • I set out to find a good wireless headset, I tried a bunch of different once from different brands and also Sennheiser, But to be honest with you they were all really bad
  • This headset sounds amazing, and the controls on the side are big, and easy enough to adjust
  • The RS 185 headset is so much more comfortable that I can keep them on for hours

Reviews around bass (3.30 of 5)

  • My initial feeling was a bit of a disappointment as the RS 185 sounded like they had very weak bass compared to the RS 180
  • Bass is fairly weak in these headphones and volume caps at a fair level
  • The 175's sound was flat...and the bass was muddy and the mids and highs noticeably and almost uncomfortably harsh.
  • I think I would like a little bit more bass, but that is probably just my preference as I think they accurately produce sound.
  • Also the bass is perfect, doesn't give me a headache like the 175's

Reviews around background noise (2.18 of 5)

  • It works exactly as you expect
  • There is no background noise of any kind and the sound reproduction is exquisite.
  • I'd like it to suppress the background noise when people are talking.
  • The lows are muddy and indistinct, they are easily overdriven into distortion (even at low volumes), and the background noise is ridiculous.
  • but not as good as to convince myself to ditch $100 head set I own.

Reviews around use (1.00 of 5)

  • Granted, I have wired headphones that have more powerful bass, but they also weigh considerably more than these do, are wired, and limit movement when being used.
  • These are pretty good headphones as long as you restrict their use in two ways: First, don't expect them to maintain connection to the base with more than about 30 feet of separation in normal household conditions, i.e through more than one wall
  • I can't get the door back on and now the cable cannot be used because, again it just falls out.
  • This pair alleviates that age-old problem ("problem," as used here, means my inability to remember to perform simple tasks).The sound quality on these (I've only tried connecting them with the optical input) is flawless, and like all my other Sennheisers, they're quite comfortable to wear, even for folks with heads as large as mine.
  • These work great for watching TV movies and brought back the stereo sound that I was missing using hearing aids

Reviews around couple (1.00 of 5)

  • When the source resumes you will miss the first couple of seconds of audio
  • And if you do forget you can always slap in a couple of fresh batteries because it's very easy to remove the ear pads and swap cells

Reviews around direction (1.00 of 5)

  • The directions are unclear and the DVD doesn't work.
  • Maybe I misread the directions or maybe the base charges slow

Reviews around people (1.00 of 5)

  • Just another example of chines junk, You people should be ashamed for charging $210 for these and not only is the 300 foot range a
  • I can walk around (1 floor, multiple rooms, 1500sq ft) while listening to music, or watch TV without disturbing people.
  • Some reviews here and elsewhere had people saying they didn't like the bass, and think it's weak.
  • No need to crank the volume up and annoy other people in the room
