Sennheiser RS 175 RF Wireless

The Sennheiser RS 175 are good home theater headphones but only average for mixed usage. They're not versatile enough for all environments and situations, and the stand transmitter limits their use outdoors. If you're not in direct line-of-sight or close to your source and the transmitter, then the headphones are practically unusable.
