I use these in my shop where machinery noise is a problem. While they have no real noise cancelling tech they are much quieter than the previous brand of 'phones I was using! Sound quality is great, plenty of bass. The 2.4 mghz frequency prevents sound loss and interference as I move around! Plenty of volume and the controls are great. I could wish the range was longer but, for the money, I really have no complaints. I love the fact that it uses standard rechargeable batteries!

When Bass Boost is on really is deep and rich , I also noticed that I wasn't getting any loss of clarity with that mode on, I tested it with metallica which has a lot of bass and really was an excellent result. I found the headphones itself to very comftable but you need to put the headphones on the right way around becuase if you dont its not as comftable. The way you put it on the charge is a tight fit but works great. Also the sound is very crisp and has an audio quality that is a lot better than the wireless headphones i used before this one. If you get the rs165 you wont be disappointed thats for sure. the only negative i can think of is that if you place a wall between your headphones and base that is solid the headphone signal can drop out occasionaly but ... MoreWhen Bass Boost is on really is deep and rich , I also noticed that I wasn't getting any loss of clarity with that mode on, I tested it with metallica which has a lot of bass and really was an excellent result.

Once set up the unit has very good clear sound and volume as long as you stay within 25ft of the base where it starts to cut out (note the range is deceptively advertised as "up to 100ft") so don't expect to walk around the house without having the signal interrupted. The Sennheiser support technician suggested that my wifi could interfere with the range; this is not disclosed in any of the promotional material. My old, much less expensive, Sennheiser TR 126 got a decent signal from across the street. If you have a sound system connected to the TV, ensure you turn on the TV speakers and adjust the TV volume up when you connect to the 3.5mm TV headphone jack. The design is nice and comfortable with adjustable fit but some may find them tight fitting and ears get hot ... MoreOnce set up the unit has very good clear sound and volume as long as you stay within 25ft of the base where it starts to cut out (note the range is deceptively advertised as "up to 100ft") so don't expect to walk around the house without having the signal interrupted.

The design is nice and comfortable with adjustable fit but some may find them tight fitting and ears get hot after a while. The control cluster on the right side has a large button to turn on the bass boost and two much smaller buttons to control the volume. It takes a while to get used to feel for the volume controls without accidentally hitting the bass button. I would prefer to have the bass button separated from volume buttons, perhaps on the other side or completely removed (the base also has a bass boost button). I would only recommend for people who want to use it from their couch or people without wifi in their house where the range might be greater.

Works well, i.e., the sound quality and the wireless connection did not disappoint me. The 165 is more than adequate, but the only input type it has is a mini phono plug (3.5 mm). If your device doesn't have a min phone plug output (and few TVs do nowadays) you'll have to buy an adapter -- either RCA plug sound output, or a digital to analog converter and a toslink cable. Fortunately both are inexpensive and widely available.
Everything good about it with a couple of exceptions for me. I feel it needs a little bit more on the high end (clarity in upper mids) but I understand why it's not overly bright. If there is too much high one could get hearing damage. Second, a couple times I had a problem with the power supply the head phones weren't connecting to the transmitter. A little jiggle of the power supply and its fine. That's not really a deal breaker either. 3rd, the head phones can seem a little snub but that's ok because the rs120, I wasn't happy with because the ear pads were all foam and it made my ears warm and uncomfortable. These head phones have a recest cup and that's why plus the reptutation of senhieser head phones , clarity and response, that i bought them. But over all the ... MoreEverything good about it with a couple of exceptions for me.

The sound quality is excellent. The following are my issues: 1. The range is extremely poor. One room over is all I can do. 2. The headphones need more cushioning. They scrimped on cushioning. 3. The adjustable headphones need more adjusting. They did not take into account that some people have heads bigger than others.
I live in an apartment and am not able to turn up my entertainment, surround sound system but have always thought that if I went to headphones I would loose the quality but after living in an apartment for over 2years, I decided to give the headphones a try. The RS 165 model is really awesome and the quality of sound is great. Me and my neighbors are very happy. Lol. Many times I forget I even have them on. FYI the RS 175 is a little better in that it has surround sound. I have a pair of each and they will work together on either main base and charge. The battery life is really good too. I have used them for at least 6-8 hours continuous.
PROS: These headphones transmit sound like you are in a movie theater and pick up even the smallest little noise in the background. It's like surround sound, really. Very, very good. I also walk around with them between rooms, which have walls and the sound stays with me. I bought them on ebay (new) and paid considerably less than they would have cost at one of the large stores around here. You can not beat the quality for the price... CONS: Apparently my head is too small for the Sennheiser design. I can not adjust them to fit my head, which isn't particularly small and they tend to slip and slight and sometimes fall off when I am moving while I have them on. They do NOT come with a connecting cable for the TV (buyer be aware) and I have not been able to purchase a ... MorePROS: These headphones transmit sound like you are in a movie theater and pick up even the smallest little noise in the background.

They do NOT come with a connecting cable for the TV (buyer be aware) and I have not been able to purchase a cable that fits my particular TV. At that, it still happens to work for me, because I watch just about everything through Netflix or Amazon using my Roku and the cable does connect to that. For folks who want to watch regular TV, you might want to check if there is a cable that works with your TV. I also find them to be somewhat heavy (which is why they deter most of the other sounds around) and my ears get really hot after about 20 minutes of wearing them. I usually have to take them off for a few minutes to allowmy ears to cool a bit. I did hear that complaint from other users as well.
Sound is brilliant, as is the overall quality of these Sennheiser wireless headphones. They're not lightweight, as that was never their objective; rather they ooze robustness and high quality which simply add to the feeling they will last for many years. Perfect for watching television or listening to music.
These headphones are easy to connect to a TV and the sound quality is very good. The over-ear design actually fits around the ears and doesn't push on the ears themselves. They also cut out a lot of the background noise unlike my RS220's which let a lot of noise through. The 2 batteries last a long time between recharges and will recharge overnight easily. So glad I got them!!
