As part of the RS series, the German brand Sennheiser produces unusual TV headphones that are capable of receiving a video signal at a hundred-metre distance from the TV. To do this, the headphones are equipped with a special radio receiver that connects to the TV via a conventional audio cable and transmits a crystal clear signal to the headphones with minimal delay and distortion, even if you move from room to room,


In fact, this is a complex radio receiver with a DAC and a sound card, which also acts as a stand and headphone charger. In more high-status models, the receiver is equipped with volume and panorama controls, as well as a button for switching sound modes (cinema, speech and music). For simpler options, the stands are limited to the volume control and charging indicators. In addition, several pairs of headphones can be connected to it at the same time. Sennheiser has a separate series of HDR radio headphones that can be purchased separately without a receiver.

As for the RS series headphones themselves, they all belong to the overhead class. More expensive models like RS 165, RS 175 and above are closed headphones that cover the entire ear, providing decent passive noise isolation. More affordable options like the RS 110 and RS 120 are better for cases where you don't want to switch off from reality and hear what's going on, even if a new Rick and Morty episode is on. For convenience, the sound controls are located on one of the cups. Depending on the model of headphones, you can count on 18-25 hours of operation on a single battery charge.
