Best under 100 product!

By stueng (ciao.co.uk) Read the full review

Often when I buy tech toys I buy the most expensive in the hope that I will get the best. I was worried then when I purchased this set of RS 130's as there were many alternate, more expensive products with "higher" model numbers I was not disappointed....

Wireless range ; ability to have multiple headphone/base-station units ; quality

None - honestly

This is a good quality product that offers good value for money in the very short term. Although as with most electronic products, the value will deteriorate over time and should be able to get a cheaper version next year. It's a great little device...

R130: Excellent invisible sound?

By Steve Guttenberg,Staff (asia.cnet.com)

New for 2005, the RS130s are among the better wireless headphones we've tested to date.

Wireless headphones (900MHz frequency); supercomfy earpads; stylish base/stand recharges headphones' batteries; surround processing; built-in volume control

Noise and hiss sometimes intrude on the sound; volume and tuning controls are set too close together

The RS130s are Sennheiser's best wireless headphones to date.

Extremely Comfortable, Good Sound, 3 Channels, SRS Surround

Review: Sennheiser RS130 and RS140 headphones

By Dave Oliver (avreview.co.uk)

Sennheiser's latest brace of hi-fi headphones may have the same underlying principle, and very similar styling, but they're aimed at subtly different markets. Both are overhead models with a wide padded headband and...

Very comfortable, good sound quality, reliable wireless transmitter

Surround and compression options adjust the sound, but don't enhance it

Set up could hardly be simpler in both cases. Just plug 'em in, charge 'em up and they'll automatically tune to the relevant frequency and they're ready to go. If you have trouble with radio interference simply switch the channel on the charging...

Sennheiser RS130 Review

By Brandon King (digitaltrends.com)

Award: EDITORS' CHOICE

The search for the perfect set of wireless headphones is often one fraught in disappointment and annoyance. First you have to decide between two technologies: Radio Frequency (RF) and Infrared (IR). At the very first step of the decision to go...

Radio Frequency transmission; easy to charge; comfortable; good sound stage

Some interference issues (hard not to get with RF headphones)

The Sennheiser RS-130s are a simple, practical, and truly functional pair of headphones.

RF is often plagued by interference and IR requires line of sight between the headphones and the base station. IR headphones tend to be interference free, since good placement of the base station can ensure a good connection. Either the connection is...

Sennheiser RS130

By Jayesh Mansukhani (tech2.in.com)

Wireless headphones with good battery life and great audio quality

The RS130 as an audio product is a study in contradictions. On one hand, it offers excellent audio playback wirelessly, however its wireless nature attracts every stray RF signal that might be bouncing around, be it a mobile looking for a signal or a...

Ultimately keeping everything in mind, we still rate this headphone as recommended. If you are an audio enthusiast and have the Rs. 10,500 required to purchase this headset--- go for it. The RF issues can be worked upon and once you get past that, this...
