I've owned these headphones for about 8 years. They're hooked up to my TV via optical cable, and I use them for watching movies and playing video games. They're great for when you want it loud, but you don't want to disturb anyone else.
I absolutely love that the sound controls are right there on the headset, I can just reach up and adjust as needed.
If I wear them for over an hour, it does start to hurt on the top of my head and I need to adjust them slightly.
I am completely satisfied with the sound quality. I've used them regularly for all these years, so the sound quality has gone way down. The quality lasted well beyond the 2 year warranty though. I may have sped up their deterioration with such regular use, and I often had it turned up louder than I should have (bad for the ears!).
The padding on the ear pieces has also deteriorated. I find little black flecks on my ears now.
I'm satisfied overall with this item. In fact, I just ordered a new pair. I can't wait to get it so I can experience the quality again at its best. I would recommend these to anyone.
EDIT: Important thing to know if you're using these for the first time - you have to hold down the power button on the headphones for several seconds to turn them on. It didn't tell me this anywhere in the instructions, so I thought they were defective. Hold the button down for 3 seconds, otherwise they won't turn on.

If you live in a apartment building (as I am about to) and want to watch movies late at night it must be a nice gadget to have. Thanks for the review!

Hey, I watch UHD Blu Rays on my Panasonic 4K player as well as play games on the PS5.

Are these headphones a good option for the above? As opposed to say Bluetooth headphones connected to the TVs Bluetooth?

[ridewithme]

I've been using a pair of Sennheiser RS 180 wireless headphones for years. Great addition to my PC setup for nighttime listening. Spatial audio works well, as do various DTS and Dolby formats with apps/extensions to Windows 10/11. I've compared them to Apple Airpods Max headphones and have a hard time telling the difference for most audio tracks. The Apple headphones are much heavier and use Bluetooth instead of RF.

[t.s.]

In my opinion nothing beats the movie experience like a good set of headphones. I won't watch TV any other way and haven't for many years.

Nice review. I've had these for over 6 years and they are still as good as the day I got them. Nice thing about these is you can buy replacement ear cups for relatively low cost

Great video as always friend. I took your advice from a video you did a couple years ago about revisiting movies with a good pair of headphones using a DAC. (Headphones: V-Moda crossfade connected to DAC with 3.5mm which is connected to tv via toslink/PCM out.)
But I have a comment/question. I do have the premium package Netflix that offers spatial audio and what I have found is with some content mainly newer the sound seems fine but with most especially older content that has a spatial audio signal the sound has this forced, synthetic digital artificial artifacting sound. A fake eco lift in subtle low background sound effects. Such as foot steps or paper shuffling. In some older content it is almost too distracting(recently most evident in the 2005 Scorsese's The Aviator) and I wonder if there's a way you can just disable the spatial audio all together. Because even with using it it doesn't seem to be offering that much of a benefit.
Thanks again for all the entertaining informative videos.

Useful and straight to the point information. Liked and subscribed! Thank you for the great review.

Hi, just purchased. My power button will not turn on . ( It did once very quickly and turned off). Does that have something to do with not being fully charged??

[lamarrion]

I just bought these and I wanna know can the person sitting next to you still hear the tv??

[ExPsycHo]

JVC exofield is a good option too, and with dolby atmos 👍

[inlandrosebud]

Can I connect sennheiser 175 to a 4k blu ray player like panasonic ub820 via optical cable? And the 175 automatically recognize Dolby and DTS encodings - as in the Sony MDR-DS6500 model (unavailable new) or i have to set the player to PCM with degradation of the dynamic range?

[TRILLGFP]

I have paired on RF 175 to my audio receiver/tuner connected to various things (Apple TV, TV Cable Box, etc etc). I bought another one before I saw this video its not a 175 HDR. Can I make the second one work or do I have to return the other and purchase a 175 HDR?

[Airbender]

i had Sony L600 Wireless for few months. I had to sell them. Little did I know that they would be impossible to buy again ((( THose are Incredable!

[TheFrugalAudiophile]

Like you, I cannot wear over the ear headphones for a very long period of time, certainly not enough to get through even the shortest of movie. I do better with on ear or in the ear headphones though.

[TuneTamasha]

these should work with a samsung smart tv with optical audio and pc with a jack, right? i presume for audio/movies should be flawless, but how about games on a console connected to tv through hdmi? also, wifi modem interference?

[JAXXNCREATED]

This is the first time I’ve spent more than 150 on a headset so I hope it’s worth it, im primarily getting it for music purposes, also I’m just excited to finally have sennheisers 🔥

[gowthamk]

Hey i hv a doubt while keeping the atmos spkrs in frnt heights and rear height what should be the distance btw the two to experience the good atmos effect!?! As u said this was the bttr configuration than anyother 4 atmos spkrs set up!!?

[MisterMet]

Does the audio output on the TV need to be switched to PCM every time you use the headphones? That seems a little annoying...

[GuyLerman-bx]

Is there a way I can use on a laptop? How can I do that?
