Product Description:
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 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.
Amazon.com Product Description:
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.
What's in the Box
RS 130 headphones, rechargeable NiMH battery pack, transmitter and recharging stand, AC adapter, user's manual.

Rating: - Very good wireless
I have owned a pair of these at work for maybe 3 years now. They work great. i have a pair of Accoustic Research at home, they are terrible. I used to have some old Sennheisers R-40 but I broke them. These new ones worried me with the auto tuner but I need not have, they do a good job. I wish i had bought 2 pairs. Some friends at work still are not concinvced but they do not have a wireless alternative. There is static some times, but its short lived and very tollerable. Unlike those AR's.

- Terrific!
These things work just great! The hardest part was waiting the sixteen hours for the batteries to charge.

I purchase the headphones April 27, 2009 and it quit working exactly one month later. There is no customer service number available for the manufacturer. There is no live person to talk to regarding any service problems at the Amazon.com site.This is not a fun experience.
Rating: - Superb Wireless Headphones
An absolutely fantastic set of headphones.I now can watch TV or listen to the radio at my own designated level.The range of reception is better than any other brand out there and the quality is bar none.
Rating: - Glowing Headphone Review
I purchased this unit about six weeks ago. Was very easy to hook up and use after the initial battery charge was completed. The sound is very clear and the controls on the headphone are no problem to use. The unit gives good sound quality when I walk to another room or outside so I don't miss anything. A very good product that I would recommend to my friends
