Wireless headphones are popular among home-theater devotees who like to indulge in uninhibited late night movies, as well as music lovers who don't want to be tied down to their receivers or computers. Sennheiser is one of Germany's leading headphone manufacturers and a major proponent of wireless technology, so we couldn't wait to try its new-for-2005 model, the RS130.
The Sennheiser RS130s are very light, just 9.8 ounces, and we found them extremely comfortable over a long evening of watching DVDs. This set of Open-Air headphones comes with a stylish base station/charger that houses a 900MHz wireless transmitter. The newly revised system is fitted with Sennheiser's Intelligent Auto Tuning system, which automatically selects the best of three available base-to-headset channels to ensure the lowest-possible distortion and noise. To charge the headphones' two AAA nickel-metal-hydride batteries, just place the RS130s on the cradle of the transmitter base. Fully charged, the headphones will play for as long as 22 hours with built-in volume control. The base/charger can be mounted on the wall or placed near your components. All of the adapters and necessary cables are included for stereo output.
The RS130 also features Sennheiser's SRS Headphone virtual-surround-sound system. SRS is compatible with two-channel audio sources such as CDs and DVDs. SRS opened up the sound a bit so that it was less stuck inside the listener's head, but it also made the sound more echo and reverberant. Some people will like the effect, others won't. We didn't and opted to switch it off.

Sennheiser RS 130, My Opinion

I have been using the Sennheiser RS130 for approximately one month. It was purchased to alleviate a bit of domestic discord over the volume at which I listened to our Plasma TV. In order to get most of what was said I had to increase the volume to where it was intolerable for my spouse. I was grasping at straws when I ordered these headphones because I was certain that they would give substandard sound due to the wireless transmission of audio which can be interfered with in a number of ways. I was wrong. These headphones not only allow me to hear at whatever volume I choose, they actually increase my ability to hear the TV to a point better than I could have heard at any volume with just the TV alone.I now frequently use the head phones in order to better hear a program's content even when volume is not and issue. The headphones are comfortable and controls are easily accessible while wearing them. I am entirely satisfied with them and am very impressed with their quality.

These headphones are awesome-they exceeded my expectations. My wife and I use them when we're on the treadmill; but realized I can wear them anywhere around our house or out in the yard, and still get crystal clear reception. Highly recommend if shopping for wireless headphones!

can U hear me now

I enjoy the freedom of movement while listening to my playlist. I have a range of about 150 feet outside my home( in a county setting). Quility is great and wieght is ok.

great sound

I bought these headphones for my husband for tv use. I like the fact that they are rechargeable and have an exceptional sound. They fit very well. The last set he used needed batteries every two weeks, so these are great for me also. I would recommend these headphones to any one who wants to hear the tv without the whole house having to listen too.

Sennheiser RS 130 Wireless Surround Sound Headphones

Although I'm not an audiophile by any means, I rate these as good headphones for their intended purpose.

I use them to listen to music and NPR from my computer while I'm in the backyard, and I find there are plenty of dead or "hissy" areas, but it beats dragging around 150' of cord... Perhaps I am also getting interference from my wireless phone, wireless LAN, fluorescent lights, computer monitor, electric fan, etc. which are all in fairly close proximity to the headphone transmitter. The sound quality is not what you would find in high-end corded headphones, with somewhat muted bass and treble ends of the sound spectrum, but then I doubt anyone else can do better right now since I understand that wireless technology is just not there yet. (I'm not sure if these are digital or analog, nor if that would make a difference in the quality of sound transmission.) They are nice and light, but here in the tropics the ear pieces can become uncomfortably warm and sweaty, as any headphones will; the breathable velour-like padding is better than vinyl, though.

The bottom line is this: As far as wireless headphones go, I doubt you could do better. You just have to lose the expectation that these will compare favorably with a good set of wired headphones, as far as acoustics are concerned.
