The good: The Sennheiser RS 170 is a full-size set of headphones with Kleer wireless technology that delivers CD-quality sound.
The bad: The awkward placement of the controls on the right earcup may require a longer learning curve for some users, and the transmitter/charger base lacks digital inputs.
The bottom line: 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.

Great sound but!!
by rich2003b on June 12, 2012
Pros: Great sound
Cons: The controls are not easy to find
The on/off is between the volume up and volume down buttons
It has nothing to identify it - like a lump - so you frequently turn them off by accident
Pity a little thought or testing the problems would be solved!

- Manufacturer: Sennheiser
- Part number: 502874
- 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 and a multi-purpose transmitter 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). 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.
