Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sennheiser RS 130 Wireless Surround Sound Headphones

Customer Review: Big dissapointment
Summary: 2 Stars

I bought these on a whim when on Black Friday based on the positive reviews and the $60.00 price tag. People seemed to like them when they paid full price so I felt that I had to buy them when I could get them for 1/2 price. Based on the sound quality, flimsy stand and terrible charger (the stand itself) I think $60.00 should be the normal price at most.$100+ is way to much in my opinion.

The headphones have a persistent hissing sound that is very distracting as other point out plus I have to lay a book on top of the headphones to get them seated correctly in the charger. I've read other reviews that suggest the hiss is a minor price to pay for the great sound quality but I have to suggest otherwise. I have a 6 year old pair of Sony Infrared headphones that sound orders of magnitude better than these with an slight hiss which is tolerable. The his these produce is terrible. Poor build quality, sound quality and feel are very disappointing. I suggest passing on these unless you can get them for less than $60.00 but better yet, look for something else that sounds good :)

Of the hundreds of products I've purchased from Amazon, this is only the second or third I've felt compelled to review and only because my experience is so different than others.

Description of Sennheiser RS 130 Wireless Surround Sound Headphones

The RS 130 wireless RF headphone system with switchable surround sound is an ideal choice for both hi-fi and TV use. The lightweight RS 130 lets you enjoy freedom of movement from any audio source. Un addition, the transmitter features a convenient metal stand for storing and recharging the 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.
