Sennheiser HDR 170 Headphone Receiver Charger/Transmitter not Included Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This product REQUIRES a separate transmitter. It's meant to be an additional pair of headphones for use with Sennheiser RS 170 Digital Wireless Headphone with Dynamic Bass and Surround Sound. You can read my full review of that product on that page. Here is an excerpt that applies to the headphones specifically:
RANGE and CLARITY: Hands down, the most important issue in wireless headphones, and this pair EXCELS way beyond anything I've used. I get clean signal over 100 feet away, through a brick wall. I get clear signal while using my microwave (unless I'm standing within 1 foot of it). Always fast to pick up the signal, with nearly ZERO interruptions in signal after months of use (the Sony DS6000 may edge this pair out for sound quality, but has serious problems with intermittent signal interruptions).
SOUND QUALITY: The second best sounding pair I've ever used. With bass boost and surround on, this is a VERY PLEASING set of headphones to listen to, particularly for television and movies. Combined with it's incredible clarity of signal, I've never had any complaints about sound quality with this pair. The Sony DS6000 does have a slightly more natural feel and a little more depth to the sound, but the signal is not always as clean, so it often sounds a bit worse than the Sennheisers.
EASE OF USE/FEATURES: This set has button controls on the right earcup for power, volume, and to turn on bass boost and surround sound. The power button is a good and bad thing. You don't have to worry about the annoying temporary loss of signal that some models have when their auto off switch gets triggered because you moved around. However, you have to remember to turn them off when you're done. Fortunately the battery life is very good, so even after leaving them on overnight, I've still been able to get several hours of use out of them. It should also be mentioned that the buttons are a bit small and close together, but after a little time, I got used to them and had no trouble operating them. The power button has a contoured on/off icon so you can find it by touch which lets you find the rest by touch as well after you memorize the order they are in.
