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

 Should have bought these a long time ago September 1, 2008
Chris Nedbalek (KC)
I bought this wireless headset to watch tv/movies without disturbing others in the house at night. They work flawlessly! The range is great - clear reception not just throughout the 3 story house, but they can be used from the corner of our front yard to the corner of our back yard.
I've hooked the base unit up to the entertainment receiver so I can listen to tv/dvd/vhs/cd/radio as I wish. The sound quality is actually better than the traditional speakers used for the entertainment center. Sometimes I even wear the headphones when the family is watching TV so I can have an even better sound experience!
zero regrets!
very solid pair of headphones August 31, 2008
A. Moss (New York City, USA)
I've had these for a month and am very pleased overall. I live in a high rise and sit about 12 feet from the transmitter, and listen to tv shows rather than music with it primarily.
When the frequency is clear, about 80% of the time, the sound is very rich, warm, good low and high end, as satisfying as wired headphones. Some nights, there is some distortion, and I don't what is interfering. I would recommend this to anyone that misses having the sound up high at night while the kids are sleeping.

These headphones are exceptinal. Clear sound and wonderful accoustics. Easy to install and exactly what I wanted for watching TV in bed at night without disturbing my wife.
 MUST READ BEFORE YOU BUY - Auto-tuning and Auto-signal WARNING August 19, 2008
M. Amburn (Atlanta, GA)
This product was absolutely perfect with the exception of its automatic signal control and tuning. Unfortunately, those two "features" rendered the unit completely unusable for me, forcing me to return it.
EXPLANATION
This product features an "automatic signal control" which will automatically adjust the volume/strength, which at first sounds like a great idea. If all you do is use this for voice/TV or music that is constant, it would be fantastic. Unfortunately, if you use this product for music with variable strength, i.e. volume/strength goes from soft to loud -- such as techno, classical, and even a lot of modern pop/rock -- this "feature" will drive you crazy. It's like listening to a song where someone is constantly turning the volume up and down.
Another "feature" that drove me crazy was the automatic tuning. Again, in theory, it sounds like a great idea. Anyone that's familiar with wireless headsets will know that the signal constantly fluctuates, especially when you turn your head a certain way, because of where the antennae is located and basic radio frequency physics. Most products respond like radios which will get slightly "static-y" when this happens. Unfortunately, when the signal fluctuates with the auto-tuning feature, you will get a sudden one-second pause of silence as it re-tunes. As annoying as any static may be, I *assure* you that having a song constantly interrupted by one-second pauses any time you move the wrong the way is *WAY* more annoying.
CONCLUSION
I've been searching for three years now to find a replacement for my Brookstone set. The Sennheiser RS 130 product was absolutely perfect in every way except for the two previously described "features" that didn't benefit the product at all. In the end, they were disturbing enough that I couldn't use the unit and keep my sanity. My search for a replacement continues...
Poor performance - Not worth of 115$ August 12, 2008
Choudhury (Dallas)
I had ordered this product based on very high ranking in several reviews. But I was very disappointed with the performance. The Noise was beyond acceptable level. The frequency output was flat. Lows abd Highs are missing which give a very dull feeling. I have a Sony XBR4 TV and tried with outputs from DirectTV/PS3/DVDs etc. I did not find it suites anything. May be it is good for just News and I am sure you do not want to spend 115$ for that. I returned it and the return was very easy and smooth. I was very happy the way Return was handled.
I got Sony Model: MDR-RF970R from best buy and this has a better sound quality although much less then decent quality. Probably you cannot expect much from 100$ wireless Headphones.
