Customer Ratings & Reviews

We had to wait for a special occasion to purchase these because they’re a little expensive, but we’ve been searching for surround sound headphones and for the price and even though these are actually simulators, they’re awesome and worth it. The only problem is we have to shut down our WiFi router because they conflict and the sound skips a lot. But they’re steady as long as the WiFi is off.

Now Sennheiser is one of my favorite brands for audio. I own their HD 280 pro studio headphones and when used properly, they sound amazing!!! Unfortunately, I immediately returned these headphones because I have used better ones. I'd say the only nice-to-haves are the incredibly easy functionality, the wireless range and the fact that you can use an optical cable with it. However, the sound is the concern. It's not that they sound bad, but rather they are suited too much for TV. The sound doesn't really hit you since the bass is lacking, so you won't enjoy action movies. It basically sounds like you're sitting right next to your TV speakers. To be clear, they don't sound bad. But they're not very immersive either. Also, they weren't entirely comfortable. The padding material also feels cheap for the price I paid. I expected more from a brand like Sennheiser. Unless you're specifically looking for headphones for private listening, I'd recommend you look for a 5.1 soundbar/woofer combo around the $300-400 range since they kind of sound better and more immersive.

The trend now of not including user manuals made it difficult for ME to figure out why the sound was so 'tubby' - so I arranged to return them. Fortunately, the day before the Geeks were to deliver some new equipment and take back the headphones, NO MORE HOUSE CALLS. In the meantime, I worked with the Sennheisers, figured out how they worked, and they're fabulous.

Great sound quality with surround sound and bass..But needs more padding on earphones...!!!!!!!

I can say that this headset for my TV is wonderful. I had an older headset, but it would not work with my new smart TV so I did some research and I chose Sennheiser headsets for my TV. And for me, it was an excellent choice.

Delivers rich, clear sound (balanced if you don't use bass boost). Solid base/headset connection without interruptions within at least 30 ft. in my house. Easy-to-use headset controls, but the bass boost toggle is too close to the volume control.

THESE ARE THE ONES. At first we bought the insignia (great quality but interfered with 5ghz wifi) and the Sony (static issues -- probably a bad cord connection to the tv). We upgraded and these have amazing quality. Really solid, amazing surround sound, great range. (Also Best Buy occasionally has these on sale, so keep an eye out!)

Works with pc too it just takes some work but is very nice if you want the wireless experience with the quality of good headphones

From all the different head phones we’ve tried, these are by far the BEST set; clear, crisp sound with adjustability and comfortable snug fit. Definitely worth the value!

The multilingual instructions leave a lot to be desired. BUT, the learning curve pays off. I particularly like the selector switch on the back that allows selecting either optical or analog input. That allows me to select different sources independent of the rest of my system. The phones are quite comfortable and the sound is great.

Second set of Sennheiser headset purchased to watch TV. Very easy to set up on my Visio TV.

I couldn't be happier with ease of installation. Much clearer than other tv headphones i have used. Great to have controls on headset. Best tv headphones I have owned.

Very pleased with the quality. Very good depth of sound and clarity.

Decent audio quality. Keep in mind this is a dedicated home theater headset only. Music will not blow your mind. Clarity of dialog is good. Range and interference is not what I expected from especially with a dedicated RF base station. Build quality is average at best. Cost is questionable.

I have been totally pleased with my over the ear headphones. It is the 3rd headphones I have owned and by far the best yet. Previously I have had to use closed captioning when watching movies and that is no longer necessary. The sound is extremely clear. I highly recommend the Sennheiser headphones for television viewing.

The headphones work well and are comfortable to use. They are a little heavy, but you get used to it. I was expecting the charging stand to be smaller; it takes up some room on my desk. I would recommend them to someone looking for this type of headphone.

An extremely good headphone system to hook up to your TV or stereo system. Both the stereo and surround features sound good. Hook up is easy using either the optical cable or the mini plug. The headphone ear cups are comfortable and have never appeared to be hot or ill-fitting. I highly recommend this model.

I have used these headphones for years and the headphone part was getting really worn, so we bought the exact same and we are not disappointed. They are very easy to set up. My ears are old and television was often hard to watch without the volume being too high for the rest of the family. With these headphones, that problem is solved!

The best sounding headphones I have ever owned. They fit and feel great and cancel out all other noise. Love the side remote sound and volume control.

Glad I read the reviews on this one, which prompted me to order this for my deaf spouse. It was quite easy to set up. This headphone set has proven to be superior over the past two Sony headphone sets he's had. There is a slight learning curve but not a tough one. Needless to say, we are both very pleased with this purchase.
