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.

Netflix just got a whole lot more irritating if you share a screen in a household
Every profile will soon need its own email address, adding another hurdle for households that share a TV.

Netflix's password-sharing crackdown isn't over just yet. The streaming giant is now rolling out another change that could make shared household accounts a little more cumbersome, this time by asking every profile on an account to have its own email address. While the move isn't designed to stop families from sharing a subscription, it does add another layer of identity verification that many users probably weren't asking for.

You've seen TikTok or Instagram reels of sped-up or slowed-down songs, and new mixes of popular titles that end up getting millions of views. But despite that virality, the original artist never ends up getting paid. Deezer is trying to change things with its new Remix Lab. It's a new in-app feature that lets fans remix songs with the explicit consent of artists and rights holders. The feature is launching first in France through Deezer Club, with the company saying it could expand to other countries in the coming months.
