A: Here are my results after a thorough but completely unscientific test under quiet living room conditions. I sat approximately 10 feet away from a new Sony 85 inch TV (with fiber optic hookup) and listened through my Sennheiser RS 175 headphones, and the TV, to 10 minutes of sharp noises (mostly gunshots at a private target range). If there was any sound delay at all it should have been quite easy to hear it. There was no delay that I could detect nor has there been during the 4 months that I've owned the headphones. For typical home viewing, the audio in the headphones matches the tv speakers (and the picture) beautifully. As a former announcer (not a degreed engineer though) I'm pretty picky about sound and these do sound great.
Q: Where do you get replacement batteries?
A: They are standard AA rechargeable batteries. The headphones come with them, and they are easily replaced when the time comes.
A: You can use two headphones with the base unit. They have to be the same model. Search for Sennheiser HDR 175 Accessory RF Wireless Headphone for RS 175.
A: Yes the headphones available at Best Buy contained all the necessary accessories to set them up. the Best Buy description does not actually detail what's in the box but I called them and they weren't sure, so I bought it and the accessories were indeed in the box. The headphones work very well with our entertainment system.
Q: are these only for tv or can you listen to music with them
A: The sound quality is really good for tv so the sound quality should be good music. These headphones allow adjustments of the highs and lows. Sennheiser has been making audiophile quality equipment for decades.
Q: Can you plug this headset in when your in a commercial airplane or any other device to hear sound ?
A: No you cannot
Q: The pads are falling apart can new pads be purchased?
A: Amazon has a good selection of replacement ear pads for this model. The prices are pretty reasonable and the quality is better than the factory pads in my opinion. Just search your model and you should find a nice replacement pair.
