She is technologically challenged but has no problems with these. They are easy to use and clear as a bell. Bought these for my 88 year old mother-in-law to use while watching TV. They work perfectly. Might buy a pair for myself.
The loud TV bothers me no more. The sound quality is great. The headphones are wonderful. They are for my husband and he loves them. Even my very hard of hearing 83 year old mother-in-law loves them - she could hear EVERYTHING on the TV.
This is a great wireless head set. Cheap ones simply don't cut it.Get this and enjoy.
My wife appreciates hearing the TV at her preferred lower volume, and yet with wearing the RS-130 I can carry on a conversation with her and her comments about the TV program. Even when she is not around, I find I prefer wearing the RS-130 instead of turning up the TV sound. It is comfortable and stays in place even while using a treadmill. Sennheiser RS 130 Wireless Surround Sound HeadphonesWith the RS-130, I can hear all the words better than just turning up the volume of the TV. The SRS adds a fullness and clarity to the sound. It is nice to be able to not miss any of the dialog, even when going to he kitchen.
People that think MP3 audio sounds good will probably think these are excellent. I prefer my 540's for music, so if I'm going to do some serious listening I opt for the corded 'phones.If you're an audiophile, these won't meet your needs. Well, they've got plenty of output capability. It came down to the 130's and 140's, but I've always liked open-air cans, so I opted for the 130's.I'm quite impressed at how far wireless 'phones have come.
There actually is a high end.I have also listened to music on these. You're not. The mid-bass sounds fine though, and I respect the fact that Sennheiser opted for accuracy there instead of pumping it up to hide what's lacking in the low bass. No, they aren't perfect. Yes, you lose the surround sound (I'm ignoring the pseudo-surround, SRS function of these, because I haven't heard a two speaker surround yet that sounds realistic), but you gain minute details, so it's a fair trade-off. They offer similar sound, but not the same sound. It just lacks that visceral impact you get from a great speaker or subwoofer.
The high end is good, but not as airy or detailed as my 540's. The midrange is pleasant and voices sound natural. They are a little lacking in bass, but I expected as much from a battery powered headphone. I honestly expected a lot less from the treble.
How do they sound. So, if you're a little less critical, and you want some freedom, they will get the job done. I plant on my couch at night and play PS3 games. I expected a severe roll-off, like FM radio compared to compact disc, but that wasn't the case.
Add in that I have a cat that likes to attack my headphone cord, and I have a reason to use wireless.So, I read up on the various models available. Gunfire on a video game could destroy your ears if you aren't careful. Little batteries can't provide much current. I live in an apartment though, and stay up late at times, and don't like to offend my neighbors. It sounds good, but it won't trick you into thinking you're listening to a $300 pair of corded 'phones.
Don't get me wrong, they have bass. I paid $105 for these, which is about half what I paid for my 540's. I've owned a set of Sennheiser HD-540's for several years and have always loved them. Bass requires current. I never considered wireless 'phones, because the quality just wasn't up to snuff.
They have good balance. You occasionally get interference if you move around a lot, or go around a corner, but that's not what I use them for. For this purpose they're outstanding.I've been playing a lot of Fallout 3 lately, and even though I have a very good home theater system (I used to work in hi-fi), there are some things you pick up on head phones that you just never hear when listening to speakers.
