Sennheiser RR 5200 Second Headphone for RS 5200

The Sennheiser RR 5200 is the wireless chin-bracket headphone (receiver) of the RS 5200 TV system, serving as a second or replacement headphone for anyone who already owns a TR 5000 transmitter.

Honestly: the RR 5200 is the headphone without a transmitter. For it to work, you need the TR 5000 base from an RS 5200 or Flex 5000 system.

Why the RR 5200?

Because when two people are watching TV together, neither should have to give up their own volume. With the RR 5200 you pair a second chin-bracket headphone to your existing transmitter — one listens louder, the other quieter, both at the same time. The open chin bracket doesn't get in the way of glasses or hairstyles.

What you get

A featherlight stethoscope-style headphone with separate left/right volume control and a battery life of around twelve hours. Various ear tips are included so the fit is right, whether you want to block out sound or stay reachable.

Who is the RR 5200 for?

For owners of an RS 5200 (or compatible system with a TR 5000 transmitter) who want to watch TV together. Straight talk: without a matching transmitter, the RR 5200 stays silent — then the complete RS 5200 system is the right choice. As an addition to an existing base, though, it's quickly integrated.

Our verdict

The uncomplicated way to a shared TV evening, when the base is already in place. Light, comfortable, quickly paired — that's all a good second headphone needs.

Frequently asked questions

Does the RR 5200 work without a transmitter?

No. The RR 5200 is the receiver and needs the TR 5000 transmitter as a base. This is included in the complete RS 5200 system as well as in the Flex 5000. As a pure second or replacement headphone, the RR 5200 only makes sense if you already own a matching base.

Can I run two headphones on one RS 5200?

Yes. The TR 5000 transmitter supplies two receivers at the same time. So you can watch the same film together, each with your own volume and your own balance. The RR 5200 is designed exactly as this second headphone.

Is the RR 5200 comfortable for glasses wearers?

Yes, particularly so. The chin bracket does without a classic headband and therefore doesn't get in the way of glasses or hairstyles. At around 61 grams and with various ear tips, it stays comfortable to wear even over long evenings.
