5.0 out of 5 stars We recommend this to everyone, February 3, 2007

We tried several different wireless headsets before settling on the RS-130 and could not be happier. My wife and I wanted a wireless headset while use our treadmill and everything we tried was uncomfortable, wiggled around, just plain fall off, or worked like crap. The RS-130 was the answer to our prayers. It is a solid piece of equipment which is really comfortable and stays on your head (we have tried it as high as 8.5 MPH). The quality of sound is exceptional and has yet to give us any trouble. My wife has started to recommend this headset to her friends at work (who are taking part in the presidential challenge for Feds)who want to watch TV or listen tunes and complain about the noise of their equipment, home life and/or gym.

My requirement for headphones is different than most other reviewers have mentioned. My wife and I want to be able to watch movies after the baby is in bed. Having two people hooked up by wires to the Home Theater Receiver seemed uncomfortable and clumsy. This setup allows us both to watch/listen to a movie without waking the baby and without tripping over headphone wires in the dark when one person gets up for a snack.

So, in terms of basic logistics and comfort, this system is fine. However, I must agree with most all of the other reviewers who comment on the wireless hum. As long as you don't move around and sit pretty close to the transmitter, it is not very noticeable. However, it certainly isn't as clean a sound as wired headphones.

Another aspect which I wasn't able to uncover during my research is the connection. The transmitter comes with a red/white RCA connector, and mini-headphone adapter and a regular headphone adapter. So, if you plan on plugging this into your stereo/HT receiver's headphone jack, you're going through two adapters. That seems pretty kludgy to me.

Another factor that confused me before I recieved these is the battery charging. Yes, it takes some time to charge the rechargeables, but this takes standard AA batteries. So, if you want to use the headphones right away, just plug in regular batteries.

We bought these so we could listen to the TV while we work out on a Concept2 rower. The sound is way better than the TV. The set is fully compatible with the base unit. I would highly recommend these to anyone who wants good sound from portable headphones without interference.
