Sennheiser RS 160, 170, 180: Would also use it to watch TV in another room.

RS 160 has a portable transmitter (can be powered by 2 normal AA batteries) and a closed over-the-ear headphone. RS 160 works as long as there is no concrete/metallic wall between the transmitter and headphones. Nominal range is 10~20 meters depending on environment condition (i.e. obstruction and interference). Note that the ear pad is made of leatherette material, hence may not be suitable for exercise (as your ears may tend to sweat a lot). RS 170 has a non-portable transmitter (powered only by AC source) and having the same ear pad material as RS 160. Range is 5x that of RS 160 but not suitable for travel. RS 180 has a non-portable transmitter (also powered by AC source like the RS 170) and has open acoustics concept. The ear pad is made of fabric, hence there is tendency to absorb sweat as you exercise. Range is about the same as RS 170. Not suitable for travel.

Our TV is a 65" Samsung about a year old. The headphones are plugged into an audio out hole. It is a small one like the kind that would plug into a smart phone or iPad.

The sound is fine and the cushions are fine too. If you are not too far from the tv you will be fine

Pretty decent overall. as another reviewer commented you might find it too much at times and Bose has a solution for that as well. http://worldwide.bose.com/productsupport/en_us/web/solo_tv_sound_system/page.html

Have not tried the other 2, but I will say Shure makes really quality stuff. I used to think Sennheiser was on top of everything but they moved so much of there production outside of Europe, it has not been as good. Wish I could help you out further.

Depends what you are after / personally prefer. It does not have big, encompassing sound by itself. We use it downstairs as a general purpose TV - watching the news, broadcast shows, etc...

For a room that size the 8040s would be much more suitable. My 8060s at times can be a little much in my 15 x 26 foot room. They sound amazing at every volume range and for a serious listener I highly recommend them.

Scotterz is right. If you want to use this headphones, you need an IR transmitter. If your TV have IR transmitting feature, you can buy it.

Unfortunately, I haven't experienced the 170. But I have owned similarly priced Sony and I can say the 180 is far superior - zero noise, nada. It has the cleanest sound I have heard. I do have a friend with the 170 and I believe it has a surround sound mode but I'm not sure so you may want to check that out. I also am able to add a second headset for the same transmitter on the 180 (perhaps up to four total - I think?), not sure if you can do that with the 170 but worth checking out if it is an issue. The 180 is "open" so you can hear other sounds going on which in my case allows me to hear when my wife is talking to me - haven't decided if that is a positive. Be well.

Pairing a replacement base or headphone set is not difficult. I believe the 160/170 models are compatible but contact Sennheiser directly to be sure.

I am sorry if i do not actually answer your question but I use my RS 180 to listen to music exclusively and not TV programs. And with music it is of excellent quality. I never tried it with TV programs. Sorry.

Depends where you gonna use it.... for the price i would take the two 1600 watts and you can adjust the sound as you want.

Yes it is good for the white noise. Not for trying to watch tv in the same room though, ha ha. Think you'll like it.

You should be getting a sturdy and nice retail box from Sennheiser, the headphones, a protective carrying case, 2 wires, and a stereo adapter.

One thing I discovered is you have an equalizer built in on this set for the sound, which offers quite a bit more sound quality selections which I really liked, as its taking some getting used to with the speaker placement on this tv being under the screen.

It's a solid secondary TV for me. The 120Hz allows sports and action movies to look good. I'm using it in a 15ft bedroom.

The Klipsch SW-350 works well for me. There are bigger ones available but this should suffice for most rooms.
