Sennheiser has announced the launch of the RS 275 TV Headphones bundle, a high-performance personal audio system designed to deliver an immersive, wireless experience for movies, sports, and television. Combining the ultralight HDR 275 TV Headphones with the BTA1 digital transmitter, the bundle offers a seamless blend of high-fidelity sound, advanced connectivity, and customizable controls.
The system utilizes Auracast technology and the LC3 Bluetooth codec to provide ultra-low latency audio synchronization with a wireless range of up to 50 meters. Sennheiser ensures that the sound perfectly matches the action on the screen, even when moving between rooms.
Flexible, Leaderless Architecture
Christian Ern, Sennheiser Principal Product Manager made the following statement. “By integrating Auracast technology, we’ve created a system that is not only powerful for TV listening but also highly versatile. Whether you’re watching a blockbuster in the living room or streaming a podcast in the kitchen, the RS 275 ensures world-class sound follows you everywhere without compromising on privacy or comfort.”
The HDR 275 headphones are built for versatility, capable of connecting directly to smartphones and tablets via Bluetooth Classic for app-based streaming. The system also supports multi-point capability, allowing users to switch between different audio sources effortlessly.
