Summary: Hiss and pop
Comment: These wireless headphones are easy to set up and fit comfortably. Thats the good news.
The bad news is you get to enjoy the ever present company of hiss and pop. Whether you are right in front of the device or ten feet away. I think the only way you could get these to work without the hiss sounds would be returning them and getting normal headphones with longer wires.
If wireless is the most important function in your opinion, then your sound quality will suffer, they just dont make good enough technology yet.
I will be returning mine.

Summary: Excellent wireless headphones
Comment: I purchased the Sennheiser RS-140 wireless headphones several months ago to get rid of the rat tangle with wired headphones. I have a hearing loss in both ears and typically watch television and listen to music with headphones to avoid annoying the neighbors, so wireless headphones are a much better option since I have more freedom to move about.
I have been extremely pleased with the comfort and sound of the Sennheiser RS-140 headphones. I do not hear any hiss or pop while moving around inside, although I do hear some hiss and dropouts if I am outside several feet away from the transmitter. I have literally worn these headphones all day without recharging them and they remain quite comfortable.
These headphones do have a few caveats, however. I have a neighbor with a wireless device that sometimes interferes with the headphones, although changing channels solves the problem. The balance and volume controls are on the back of the right can so laying on a couch, sitting in high-backed chair, or propping your head against a pillow may inadvertently change either or both controls. Even so, I find having the volume control easily accessible is very convenient.

Summary: So good, I bought a second pair for the office...
Comment: See J. Hanson's review for the good and bad characteristics of these headphones. I bought a pair of 140s in January (instead of the 130s) because the 140s seemed to meet my needs better.
I live in an apartment and I often work late nights and early mornings at home and want to listen to television or music without disturbing the neighbors. These wireless headphones worked great. Occasionally there is a drop off when I move to another room, but it is bearable given that the alternative is to have 50 feet of wire following me around.
Anyway, I am plenty satisfied, so I bought a second pair for use at the office. Yes, they are expensive, but they are worth it.

Summary: Worthless warranty
Comment: I purchased this item from Office Depot in January. It worked fine for a few weeks. Then one of the ear phones went dead intermittently. Sennheiser authorized the return in February, as the set has a two year warranty. It is now March and I called Sennheiser to find out why I had not received a repair or replacement. I was told that the set has to be replaced, but that none are in stock and perhaps late in April the stock may be replenished. They could not refund the purchase price because I bought it from Office Depot. That is why my rating for this item is 1 star.

Summary: Excellent product once I got one that worked
Comment: The first set I received did not work, but the return procedure was easy to follow and a new set was automatically sent to me. When I got the new set, I simply popped in some new batteries, hooked it up, turned it on, and it worked correctly immediately. I was a little weary of the product when the first set did not work, but I'm glad I stuck with it. The ability to adjust the volume to make it louder or softer for the right or left ear is nice. I am happy with my purchase.
