What customers say about "Size & Weight"
Sennheiser RS 170 Digital Wireless Headphones
- The headset is well padded and comfortable.
- Good- They are very comfortable to wear even when wearing glasses.
- These are very comfortable and I can wear them for hours without any discomfort, which is important when watching movies or streaming and entire seasons of a favorite show without getting everyone in the house complaining.
- They are decently comfortable, but the cup size is just slightly too small for my ears.
- The controls are a little more difficult to use on the head set because of size and shape, but manageable.
Sennheiser RS 175 RF Wireless Headphone System
- I have a rather large hat size and have no problems fitting them over my head and ears.
- Very comfortable for their size and soft ear pads allow you to wear them comfortably for hours.
- They're comfortable. A little heavy, batteries and all that, but I don't mind the weight.
- They feel fairly light in the hand, but I guess the extra weight on my head really has a greater effect on my neck than I would have expected.
- Weight is less than heavy, I'd say they're medium, but definitely not light.

What customers say about "Features"
Sennheiser RS 170 Digital Wireless Headphones
- Digital radio headphones with Kleer technology that are free from hiss and noise.
- The music and voice are crystal clear. Best of all I can wear them in any room in the house, because of radio frequency sound transmission. All in all they are great.
- Great sound. I'm not sure how sensitive I am to sound quality, but to me these headphones offer fantastic sound.
- Very high quality sound in all ranges. Highs are crisp, mids clear, lows low.
- I like the range - I can walk around the house and there's no sound degradation because of distance.
- I have very sensitive ears and when I use these, even on the lowest setting (1 setting above no sound at all) they will irritate my tinnitus.
Sennheiser RS 175 RF Wireless Headphone System
- There seem to be no problems with radio reception within range, and I have not yet got to the point when it ran out of battery.
- Great for late night listening or living with sensitive types with control issues who demand quiet media volume.
- A quick check of the range shows I can go anywhere in my average size home without losing the signal. (I didn't try going outside).
- The range is fabulous because the signal is not blocked by walls, interior or exterior.
- I have sensitive ears so I can't wear them for long periods of time.

What customers say about "Power"
Sennheiser RS 170 Digital Wireless Headphones
- Battery life is also great, as the phone recharge every time they rest on the stand.
- I can't speak for the battery life too much... all I know is that I have used them for *hours* without any loss in sound volume or anything of the sort.
- Excellent battery life. My max single-use session is 8 hrs, with no issues or performance degradation using OEM-provided batteries provided. 2-3 hr recharge time.
- They also have great battery life - I've accidentally left them on for 24 hours a couple times (With no audio playing), and they still had hours of battery life left.
- The battery life is excellent, the headphones are mostly comfortable, even more so due to being wireless and never having to experience tug or cables brushing against you.
Sennheiser RS 175 RF Wireless Headphone System
- Battery life is still excellent - I've had a few "marathon" sessions (use these for TV) and they've yet to run out.
- The battery life was never an issue and I loved the charging station.
- Lastly, good battery life. I just played for over 6 hours last night and they were still charged. Highly recommended.
- Battery life is all day plus some.
- I haven't tested the battery life, but I use these comfortably for hours every day without issue.
