What Buyers Say
Sennheiser 505582
The Sennheiser HDR 175 is a digital wireless headphone that delivers excellent sound quality with rich bass and clear treble, making it ideal for TV and movie watching. Users praise its comfort, easy setup, and the ability to pair two headsets with one transmitter for shared listening. Common complaints include finicky button controls (volume and sound modes are too close together), a slightly weak headband crease on refurbished units, and interference from microwaves or Google TV sticks. Battery life is decent but shorter than older models, and the low-battery beep is annoying to some.
