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.
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.

Static sound March 9, 2010
Baja (usa)
I guess this is more of a shout for help :)
I connected the system to my laptop, and there is a distinict static white noise that comes if I turn up the volume even a little bit above minimum. My Surround Input level light keeps flashing indicating Audio Input too low - don't know why. Didn't have any issues with my $10 headphones!
Any help? Pls email kkarthikjgd AT gmail DOT com
Cannot really review, other than the fact that the battery wasnt fully charged when it came in!
 Great Buy! February 23, 2010

I got these before Xmas for a special price and ended up buying two sets - one for my husband for Xmas and one for his father for his Jan. birthday. My only complaint about these is the fact that nowhere did it say you MUST have a headphone plug in your t.v. in order for these to work. I tried for hours with every combination of plugging in and re-setting and unplugging to the input/output on the tv and then to my cable receiver box as well as the dvd player. Nothing worked. I kept thinking either they were defective or I was doing something wrong. After a couple hours I went online and found out that you must have the headphone plug in order for these to work. When I tried them on another tv that had the plug they worked great! Unfortunately, the t.v. that my husband watches most of the time is the older set that does not have the plug, but he is planning on buying a new tv soon. Until then, he does use them on the other t.v., as well as when he is working on the computer - either listening to music or otherwise. He said they are very comfortable and have very good sound. They hold a charge for a very long time and the charger stand is very convenient and works well. My husband can now watch loud movies and t.v. without bothering the rest of the family (he tends to have the volume up pretty high) and my kids sometimes use them while playing their video games and they work wonderful for that as well. I am extremely happy that I purchased these and wish I had bought a couple more at the great price I got them at.
Peace of mind for the whole family... February 22, 2010

I should have bought these headphones much earlier. Since I use it watching TV my wife can read her books undisturbed with me sitting next to her zapping through the channels or viewing my favorite shows.
The headphones do exactly what I wanted and the sound quality is sufficient for that purpose, i.e. watching TV.
Even surround sound is not bad at all. So I basically support all positive reviews made here.
The only issue I had was a defective volume control (it crackled and popped when I adujsted a lower volume level). But my seller, CAMSDIGITAL, did a great job and replaced the whole package within a few days and even reimbursed the shipping cost.
Overall I am very satisfied with the product and the service.
Some Reviewers Clearly Don't Know How To Use This February 17, 2010

This is a very good product. Once you start using this you will wonder how you ever played your xbox/ps3 or watched tv without them. They batteries go into one of the headphones, they're recharegeable lithium AA batteries. They charge directly on the stand. (make sure NOT to put regular AA batteries into them or they will explode! during charging!) I use this for surround sound for xbox 360 and ps3 and I am very happy. There could be an issue with hissing noise if there is interference but it is easily solved. Turn up the sound on the TV to at least 50% and turn volume down on the headphones.
Pros
-No Cord
-rechargeable AA format batteries
-charges fast
-Good loud sound
-you can turn surround feature on or off
-comfortable, looks large but not heavy
-comes with headphone adapter, in case you need it
Cons
-controls might be hard to find on the back
-No software included to do anything on your computer
-no way to test surround features (for example to test how positioning works)
-no explanation what the difference is between SRS, Surround, and Dolby (so it sounds good, but how do you know if its true surround?)
Nice earphones February 12, 2010
R. Brisben
Bought 2 of these earphones based on the reviews. Overall, they are really nice but I wouldn't have paid full price (luckily I got them on Cyber Monday at 1/4 of regular price). I wanted to use one pair for my Yamaha Clavinova piano but they are not good for it - there is a slight hissing in the background when you are not playing. However, if you plan to use them for TV or Music then they are great!
