As a long term Sennheiser fan I tried these 'phones for myself, after some lengthy research, and can confirm that they are excellent. As soon as I started listening to a film using the surround setting I was hooked, and yes I "listened" to the film. I have a fair home cinema system but these 'phones beat the speakers. The experience is totally immersive and the set up ridiculously easy; take them out of the box plug in to power source, charge batteries, plug in to sound source, switch on and listen. The 'phones are easy to adjust for sound and fit and are light and comfortable to wear. They are not the cheapest wireless 'phones on the market but the quality is superb and the added benefit of increaed domestic harmony as I listen to loud films while everyone else sleeps makes them all the more worth while.

I've had the RS130's and were very good
But i bought The 170's and ...wow!
Crystal clear sound no hiss at all
The only gripe is that the buttons on the headset are tiny and sooooo close together
why were they designed like this? I have slim fingers and can cope, but anyone with fatter fingers will struggle
It'll take some getting use to, but the performance of these headphones far outway a minor niggle

I've been using a pair of AKG pro phones for probably 30 years now and finally decided to change so that I can watch TV while the wife is in bed without having to sit in the only seat in range of the cable. I looked at lots of reviews, some strange eg "I can't wear my headphones while I have guests because there's a delay which creates an echo if the speakers are on" - why? and some quite informative. Anyway I decided to go for the RS 170 based on some sensible comments and the fact that I also use Sennheiser in-ear for my mp3 player and know they make a good product. I haven't been disapointed. They are not exactly cheap, but you get what you pay for - up to a point of course. Sound quality is very good, reception is fine with no dead spots discovered so far. Interference/noise is non-existant. The only two niggles are, the volume is difficult to adjust on the phones - not a problem for me as I use a remote on the amp output instead, and they are snug fitting and not as comfortable as the AKGs. Having said that, I do have a big head and the AKGs have had a lot longer to become accustomed to it. So the short answer is buy them, I love them.


5 out of 5 stars Excellant for late night gaming!   April 14, 2010

This product has recieved high prise and I can see why! Its great for doing late night gaming without disturbing anybody.

If you can afford them then go for it. They even keep a signal throughout the house and even when doing the gardening, though line of sight does affect the range.

I got these to block out the obese girl who lives in the apartment above me, before I got these all I could hear was her stomping about while I attempted to watch TV... its now heaven!
