General Description

Wireless headphones come in many shapes and sizes but few offer better home theater performance than the RS 170. This wireless headphone system is made up of a pair of wireless headphones (HDR 170) and a multi-purpose transmitter (TX 170) which also functions as an 'easy-charge' cradle and docking station. The RS 170 also features a Dynamic Bass Boost and Surround Sound simulation mode for edge-of-your-seat excitement with your favorite music and movies! The RS 170 utilizes KLEER's uncompressed digital wireless audio transmission (it sounds wired!), offering a range of up to 260 feet, audiophile-grade sound and reception to four optional pairs of Sennheiser KLEER headphones. Never fuss with tuning again thanks to automatic, interference-free pairing between the headphone and transmitter. An exceptionally detailed, full-bodied sound reproduction is pumped into the listeners ears, filling the sealed, private earcups with liquid smooth audio. The headphones' leatherette earpads and headband cushions deliver outstanding comfort while their closed, around-the-ear design prevents sound leakage. In a high-definition age, this one is a must-have. What the experts are saying:

"The RS 170 wireless headphones allow me to move around the studio effortlessly while recording sound effects and have been great for the Actors on the TV series Bones on Fox. The sound quality is quite amazing considering how reasonably priced the RS 170 is." - Rob Nokes, CEO, Sounddogs.com & Supervising Sound Editor, "Bones"

 Great product by Sennheiser coupled with outstanding service by Headphones.com!
 
Controls are terrible9/2/2011
 My feeling the same as other reviews. The controls are the worst. A nice wheel for volume and a slide switch for on/off - also a red or green light that lets you know the headphones are on or off - so not to drain the battery. Maybe I just have not figured it out as yet, but to sit down to watch TV only to find out I have to get up again to turn on the transmitter. I just got this a few days ago, but I have had less expensive wireless phones for some time. I am considering returning it. john
 
Peculiar4/11/2011
 Easy set up. Wonderful sound. But why did you allow the controls of off/on and each volume to be so hard to access? They all FEEL the same; spaced so close together. Really! You could have put somebody on that part of the design job who would relate to the customer: how to make each control FEEL different so you wouldn’t have to take the headphone off to find the one you want -- most anybody would have done a better job. Not so sure I understand the beeping that occurs some time. I know it’s volume related, but it doesn’t always make sense why it starts beeping.
