"Very Satisfied"
I spent a lot of time researching all the possibilites before settling on the RS 130. A good part of that time went to reading the reviews on Amazon. Background: my hearing, while OK, is certainly not perfect, so I wanted good quality, but top of the line would be wasted on me; my primary desire was to get away from wires (too much of a nuisance); I mostly, but not entirely, listen to classical music; I wanted something comfortable to wear over glass frames and that would not be too hot in the summer (I live in Florida and my window faces south); while I am not a typical audiophile, I am pretty knowledgeable about music so I wouldn't want anything that wasn't faithful to the composer. So far (a few weeks now) the RS 130 has met all my requirements. I haven't had any problem with losing a signal. I have found the volume control on the set to be quite convenient to use and not a problem at all, unlike some reviewers. I haven't heard any of the annoying noises mentioned by some, but that may just be a function of my own hearing ability. So far its been very comfortable, but I haven't tried it through a Florida summer yet. Unlike many reviewers, I actually like the surround sound (yuk, some may be thinking). Some have complained about the blinking light - no problem for me - it's not in my line of sight and I have so many other blinking lights on and around my computer that it just fades into the background in comparison. In addition to listening to radio (public and SiriusXM) and CDs, I've also used it for Internet radio and TV with equally good results in all cases. Overall comment. I'm happy I got it and can certainly recommend it to anyone who thinks he/she fits into my group.

"Sennheiser RS 130"
Like a number of purchasers of the Sennheiser RS 130, a bought the headphones to plaquate my wife, who frequently thinks I have the volume too loud, on whichever audio medium I happen to be using. The sound quality of the RS 130 is good, if not specuacular. Generally I use them in one location but I have noticed some static areas when walking about my house with the headphones in use. No real concern to me, as I did not purchase them for extensive portable use.

A couple of complaints however, although they are minor:
1. The jack adaptor, as other reviewers have noted, is cumbersome and for a device with a front jack, sticks out 2 or more inches. Couple that with the realtively short cord provided from the jack to the RS 13's output to the its transmitter, and your placement of the transmitter/recharger becomes limited. My receiver required the use of all the adaptor devices supplied with the RS 130. Although the device seemed to work well when hooked up in this manner, since my primary use of the headphones will be for TV useage, I found that I could connect the transmitter directly to the back of my cable box without the need for any adaptor. I also gained more flexibility in locating the transmitter/recharger device. If I want to use the headphones with my DVD player or listen to music through my receiver, I simply jack the transmitter to the front of the reciver using the adaptors.
2. The second complaint may be unique to me. I generally use the headphones in conjunction with "vegging out" in my recliner. With my head in contact with the recliner back, I sometimes, unintintionally, change the headphone volume by the friction between the headphone volume control and the chair back. Again, no big deal.

Overall, I am happy with the purchas and my wife is extremlly happy. (There is also an added plus: When convenient, I can pretend not to hear her when I am using the headphones!)


"Almost but not quite"
Bought these based on brand name reputation and reported effective range. Light and comfortable, reasonable sound quality, but hoped for a little more musical detail, base response and clearer midrange. High frequencies more in line with what I would expect from a lesser quality headset. I bought them for use with my home stereo, but found they are mostly only effective for about 20 - 30 feet, before there is substantial drop off in quality and reliability of the reception. I knew there would be a trade off for wireless, but was hoping for a little more than I got. As my four star review indicates, I think they are adequate, and the price was fair, but wanted anyone considering them for hook up to a fairly high quality stereo to know what to expect. I will use them, and would recommend them unless anyone knows of a wireless product that performs better for a similar price.

"Not bad, for wireless"
Pros: Pretty good sound, comfortable pads, seems to work well.
Cons: Amp volume has to be up pretty high, otherwise you hear some static.

I've been using these at about 8 foot range. Even at that range the volume has to be up relatively high, otherwise lots of static. Other than that, these work very well. I'd definitely recommend these for someone who wants to watch a movie without disturbing the neighbors, and still be able to get a beer from the fridge without taking the phones off. (They're quite comfortable -- sometimes I forget I'm wearing them.)

"awsome"
could not have gotten a better wireless headset.It's comfortable and the sound is the greatest.I like the rechargable battery feature.Never out of sound for long just keep batteries handy.
