Sennheiser RS 5200 Wireless TV Headphone System

The Sennheiser RS 5200 is a wireless TV system with a chin-bracket receiver (RR 5200) and transmitter TR 5000 that delivers clear, individually adjustable TV sound with a speech clarity function and three hearing profiles.

The RS 5200 is the enhanced successor to the popular RS 5000 - and thanks to its chin bracket instead of a headband, it also sits comfortably if you wear glasses.

Why the RS 5200?

Because it tailors your TV evening to your ears. When an actor mumbles or background noise pushes to the front, the speech clarity function kicks in and makes sure you don't miss a sentence. Three hearing profiles for TV, film and music round things off, and you can adjust the volume separately for left and right.

What you get

A featherlight stethoscope-style headphone (around 61 grams) that gets in the way of neither glasses nor hairstyle, with various ear cushions for the perfect fit. The connection holds up to 70 metres, the battery lasts around twelve hours - and a charging reminder lets you know before the power runs out. The transmitter connects to almost any TV, analog or digital.

Who is the RS 5200 for?

For anyone who wants a particularly light, unobtrusive TV headphone with strong speech intelligibility - ideal for glasses wearers and long evenings. Straight talk: if you prefer over-ear, ear-enclosing comfort with powerful bass, you're better off with the RS 175 or RS 195. The RS 5200 scores with lightness and clarity, not bass power.

Our verdict

The most comfortable route to clear TV sound if headbands bother you. Good product design doesn't draw attention - and that's exactly what the RS 5200 achieves: after a while you forget you're wearing it.

Frequently asked questions

How does the RS 5200 help with unclear dialogue?

Via the speech clarity function. This circuit intelligently lifts voices out of the overall sound and reduces distracting background noise. Together with the three hearing profiles for TV, film and music, this makes every dialogue clearly understandable - without constant readjustment.

Is the RS 5200 suitable for glasses wearers?

Yes, especially so. The chin bracket does away with a headband and therefore doesn't get in the way of glasses or hairstyle. At only around 61 grams and with various ear cushions, it remains comfortable to wear even over several hours.

Can I watch TV together with someone else?

Yes. With the separately available second headphone RR 5200, you can pair a second receiver with the TR 5000 transmitter. That way you can watch together, each with your own volume. We also carry the matching additional headphone.

Why buy the RS 5200 at HD Zürisee?
