Sennheiser’s new headphones can save you from bad TV speakers with a new transmitter

Designed specifically for television listening, Sennheiser's RS 275 and Auracast transmitter offer a smarter alternative to poorly built-in speakers and expensive home-theater systems.

Ever felt like your TV speakers lack the richness or don’t quite match the immersive experience of over-the-ear headphones? Enter the Sennheiser’s new RS 275 TV wireless headphone bundle. Unlike other headphones, its sole purpose is to elevate your TV-watching experience, and here’s how it proposes to achieve that.

Sennheiser’s latest headphone bundle consists of the HDR 275 over-ear wireless headphones. Tuned for vocal clarity and engaging bass using the brand’s in-house acoustics, the headphones can last up to 50 hours between charges (about 15 days of TV-watching time for me).

Built specifically for TV, not your commute

Interestingly, Sennheiser compares the headphones’ weight to that of an “everyday remote control,” implying they’re lightweight. For longer binge-watching sessions, the headphones sport breathable cushions. The device also has physical buttons for controlling the volume, power, and incoming calls.

You can pair it with Sennheiser’s Smart Control Plus app, which offers a customizable equalizer, transparency mode controls, selectable noise suppression mode, and more. The headphones come with user-replaceable ear cushions and a battery, which help ensure a long operational life.

Finally, you can also connect the HDR 275 headphones to other Auracast or Bluetooth Classic-enabled devices, including smartphones or tablets, so you can stream music or content in the kitchen, living room, or anywhere else in your house.

In the box, you also get the BTA1 TV transmitter, which uses Bluetooth Auracast technology (based on the LC3 Bluetooth codec) to transmit ultra-low-latency audio to compatible devices over up to 50 meters.

So, you can even get multiple headphones and use them with one transmitter (or get a headphone and transmitter in case you already have compatible headphones).

The transmitter supports HDMI ARC, optical, and 3.55 mm audio inputs; it should play nicely with both modern smart TVs as well as relatively older units. It looks like a tiny remote that sits atop the metallic stand the company includes in the box, with buttons for switching inputs and sound modes (with virtual surround sound and enhanced speech clarity).

Since most TVs ship with thin speakers that struggle with depth and dialogue, Sennheiser’s RS 275 TV wireless headphone bundle solves a legitimate problem. The bundle will be up for pre-orders from February 3, 2026, for $299.95.

The BTA1 transmitter will also be available for sale (for $1299.5) in case you already have Auracast-compatible headphones.
