Sennheiser RS 275 TV Headphones Launch With Auracast Transmitter for Multi‑Listener Viewing

Bluetooth Auracast with LC3 enables low‑latency broadcast audio for private TV listening by adding the feature to sets that lack it.

Overview

  • The $299.95 RS 275 bundle (HDR 275 headphones plus BTA1 transmitter) opens for preorder on February 3, with shipments beginning February 17; the BTA1 will also sell separately for $129.95.
  • The BTA1 uses Auracast to broadcast TV audio to unlimited compatible headphones, earbuds, hearing aids, and speakers without traditional pairing, supporting both private and shared listening; support is growing but not yet widespread.
  • LC3 codec support targets ultra‑low latency and lip‑sync accuracy for video, with an advertised wireless range of up to 50 meters.
  • Connectivity includes HDMI ARC, optical, and 3.5mm inputs, USB‑A power, on‑device controls for input and sound modes, and app options such as video delay compensation, broadcast naming, and password protection.
  • The HDR 275 headphones offer up to 50 hours of battery life, user‑replaceable ear cushions and battery, tactile on‑ear controls, and audio personalization via the Smart Control Plus app.
