Critic Reviews

Sennheiser RS 170 review: Sennheiser RS 170 - CNET

cnet.com

The Sennheiser RS 170 impresses with its wireless capabilities, delivering CD-quality sound that doesn't betray its wireless nature. The plush design and user-replaceable earpads offer comfort, although the control placement is awkward. With limited connectivity options, the RS 170 is ideal for TV or AV receiver setups. Sound quality is commendable, featuring a wide stereo image and effective bass boost, though it occasionally cuts out at range. While it lacks the expansive sound of open-back models, its closed design ensures privacy. Overall, it's a solid choice for budget-minded audiophiles seeking wireless freedom without compromising sound clarity.
