Sennheiser RS 130 Wireless Surround Sound Headphones
Sennheiser RS 130 Wireless Surround Sound Headphones
Experience total audio immersion and freedom with the Sennheiser RS 130 wireless headphones. With an SRS surround sound mode that can be switched on or off, and a design that completely encases your ears, the RS 130s are ideal for kicking back on the couch with a DVD when the rest of the house is asleep. Or, maybe you want to dance to the music from your hi-fi system while doing some laundry. With the RS 130s you can move around freely while enjoying audiophile-class sound wherever you roam.
While many wireless headphones suffer from poor reception, the RS 130s have the problem licked with intelligent auto tuning and a self-learning automatic signal level control that provides maximum signal reception and a range of up to 150 meters. The headphones are lightweight, too, making them very comfortable to wear. The included transmitter and stand makes recharging the headphone batteries easy; simply hang the headphones on the charging cradle and you’re good to go. With an operating time of approximately 22 hours, though, plan on spending most of your time enjoying rich sound and maximum mobility.

User Ratings and Reviews
1 Star I don’t recommend these for private listening….
These headphones play as load outside as they do in your ear. The silver mess area on the outsides of the headphones are a straight shot to the speaker. So folks around you get to hear what you’re listening to at the same volume as you!
I’ve never left a review on Amazon before but this ridiculous design flaw made me want to inform others. I purchased these on Amazon and am amazed no one else posted this remark. Hopefully this helps someone else steer clear of these if they are concerned with private listening.
Now on the upside, other than the issue described above, these headphones are pretty darn good. The wireless technology works great and they are comfortable to wear.
Just wish they would have put some thought into the noise pollution given off by these headphones. I mean, ear bud style headphones give off less noise!
Buyer beware….
4 Stars GO WIRELESS!
light weight, good sound. there is a small hiss during silent moments. Battery life is good so far!
3 Stars OK for the Price
I purchased this item a few weeks ago to replace headphones that I originally purchased from The Sharper Image, but returned because my kids stepped on them. I paid $60 for the refurbished Sennheiser 130 item. Compared to the Sharper Image product, which cost $99, the Sennheiser is inferior. The range is poor, there is excessive hiss, and the sound quality is marginal. Although I was hoping for something better, I’m not surprised since I only paid $60. The charging stand has a nice design — this was one thing about the Sharper Image product I didn’t like.
3 Stars Wireless headphones have limitations
These headphones provide adequate performance for gaming but probably not for serious music listening. There is a moderate amount of static which definitely interferes with quiet music passages. If you intend to listen to music, I would suggest a wired pair of headphones such as the Sennheiser HD 555. On the other hand, wireless headphones are far more convenient than a wired pair. I solved the problem by purchasing both types.
5 Stars Sennheiser RS 130 Wireless Headphones
I opened the package and charged the batteries for a full 24 hours after installation. I then used the headphones to listen to the television and there was background noise. The sound was also significantly greater in the right earpiece. The next day I played with the tuning switch and the television sound controls and the background noise dissapeared and the volume equalized between each earpiece. I changed so many things I don’t know which made the difference.
In other reviews there were comments concerning the location of the volume switch and the tuning controls. I found this not to be a problem.
I would definately buy them again.
TOTALLY SATISFIED
