What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026

The RS 175 is a wireless headphone system for TV listening. A transmitter connects to your TV, and the headphones pick up the sound anywhere within about 328 feet in a direct line of sight. You can switch between a dynamic bass mode and two virtual surround modes, and the main controls sit right on the headphones. It's a good fit for someone who finds TV audio hard to follow, or who wants to listen without turning up the room volume. The transmitter doubles as a charging cradle, and it takes both analog and digital (optical) connections. Up to two pairs of headphones can be used at once, but only one pair comes in the box.
