Still the cheapest available anywhere, normally retails in the near £200+

Yeah for games and films I have bass boost on and the surround sound set to low - the high setting sounds pretty unnatural to me. Much better sound quality than any of the gaming headsets I tried (including A50, FREQ 9, Katana HD and lucidsound LS30s).

Thanks again bigtom for the belter find! :smiley:
I got mine delivered today and can confirm that they are genuine. Was well packaged, fully boxed and sealed. The retail packaging itself was really well thought out with soft padding inside protecting the headphones and unit. Very easy to setup.
Mine are on charge just now but I gave it a quick test earlier anyway and the sound quality is outstanding! Enabling the bass boost feature is like enabling a subwoofer on your ears lol brilliant.

Thanks a bunch. How am I supposed to get these past the wife and convince her we've had these for ages?!

Cracking value. I have the 185s which have left right balance if you are hard of hearing in one ear and need a boost.

Yup they're genuine and brand new, security sealed etc. Just a rubbish listing.

Above the description it clearly has the model number listed as RS 175.
I don't know why they aren't using the proper title for it. Either its intentional or a clumsy school boy error.
Either way your buying from a well known company and if paying through paypal then you have protection there too so if its not upto scratch then you can return it back.

Firstly can you confirm they are genuine? Just seems odd that they would just call them "Digital Wireless Headphone System" and not use the brand or model anywhere in the title, that probably costs them loads of sales and makes one wonder if they are using a generic name to try to cover themselves somehow.
Also assuming they are the real deal, how would they compare against the Sony MDRDS6500? As I have a pair back ordered at amazon.de for £94 but not sure if they will honour the price....

hmm i desperately need some TV headphones, but the wireless ones I have now pick up all kinds of interference from something... and quite often It picks up the guy in the apartment below playing his computer games / teamspeak stuff... I wonder what the interference will be like on these. Quite expensive if it has the same issue then I'd be better off getting some more £25 ones again (current ones have snapped the headband and is held together with tape lol)

Thank you so much! Been waiting and searching for a good deal on these! Ordered from ebay :smiley: Added nectar points and 1% cashback too lol not much but not gonna hurt to do it.
Bit surprised to see that out of all the retailers, its Vodafone thats selling them? Strange for a mobile network operator. Okay I know most of them do headphones but didnt realise they go into the high end sector.

Goes in and out of stock periodically. Paid £111 for mine with one of their previous offers.
