Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sennheiser RS 130 Wireless Surround Sound Headphones
Customer Review: Happy. For us that realize this is not a prefect world.
Summary: 4 Stars
I read alot of reviews about Wireless headphones before deciding on the Sennheiser RS130's. I realized there does not seem to be a specific brand that has the 'perfect' headphones i.e. no complaints.
What kind of expectations do we have from sound? Well, I am a photographer & do not know much about sound(although in very aspect of my life I am extremely pedantic & perfectionistic). My husband is a presenter for ESPN and obviously is around Sennheiser products all the time. My sister & her husband are both sound engineers(they bought a cheaper variety of Sony's).
Ok, so after doing research I decided on the Sennheisers but they were over my aloted X-mas budget. Found a site on amazon that had a better price & seemed to have reasonably good seller reviews.
Noise complaint:
After fully charging them & plugging them in I tested with TV/Source sound very high & headset lower VERSUS TV/Source sound lower & headset higher & understood what people were complaining about. There is more noise when TV/Source sound is low. Noise/buzzing is far less when source sound is higher to start with. But still not perfect.
Then next thing that lessened noise was placement of charger/transmitter. I just moved it away from the side of the TV that had more walls/obstructions & other wireless modems etc. Better again. But for you people that expect crystal clear sound you will be disappointed as there is a very, very slight buzz/rumble but for us it is nothing to complain about. The sound is great, they autotune, very comfortable fit, clicks easily into the recharging cradle & sound is pretty great!
Customer Review: Discontinued by Sennheiser
Summary: 4 Stars
According to the Sennheiser website, the RS130 and RS140 models have been discontinued. Apparently the replacements are the RS160, RS170 and RS180 models. They use the KLEER wireless technology, whatever that is. The RS110 and RS120 models are still listed as available.
My "review" is really an FYI. Amazon requires a rating so I gave it 4 stars to be in line with the average.
Customer Review: Sennheiser RS 130 Wireless head Phones
Summary: 4 Stars
Headphone are a quality item, although on Initial start up you have to charge, in the docking station for 17 hrs to get them to work. That said, it could be explained a little better. The value for the price was outstanding as I have had several other simmilar products.Customer Review: Great phones
Summary: 5 Stars
Great quality phones. Clear dialogue reproduction (no more subtitles)
& overall sound. Perfect for watching cable & dvd's.
The phone's surround effect is ok in most cases.
Connected to reciever's headphone jack.
Only negative is an occasional slight hiss on quiet scenes,
but overall great sounding phones.
Customer Review: Fantastic Product
