Expert Opinion
Professional reviewers acknowledge the RS 175's solid RF performance, long 328 ft range, and comfortable ergonomics, while highlighting its useful bass‑boost and surround modes. However, they criticize the lack of ANC, the absence of a companion app, and a sound signature that is less neutral than the RS 165, making it less suitable for critical listening.
What Users Say
Everyday users consistently praise the freedom to watch TV wirelessly across rooms, the comfort of the padded over‑ear design, and the long battery life. Common themes include enjoyment of the bass‑boost and surround features, while occasional complaints focus on signal drop‑outs when obstacles intervene and the missing noise‑cancellation feature.
Common Complaints
Users frequently mention reduced RF range when walls or furniture block the line‑of‑sight, the lack of active noise cancellation in noisy settings, and the inconvenience of relying on AAA rechargeable batteries instead of an internal battery pack.
