Posted May 6, 2006 - After extensive information search on wireless 'cans' that would reduce ambient noise while using product for hours at a time, I began the foot slogging to various stores to try on the inexpensive wireless headphones ($35-$75). From strictly a fit perspective, none were comfortable; Most had felt-like earpad covers that could not hide their unyielding ear phone material.
Using online price comparators and reviews that expressed exhuberant satisfaction with the Sennheiser RS 140 and RS 130 Wireless Balanced Headphones, I decided to bite the bullet, skip the disappointment of going low price and go for what I felt would be the most satisfying purchase, the one that I could live and work with.
I've used these cans for two months and have absolutely NO misgivings. The sound is exemplary. The reception is remarkable in that I have no problems at work, where I scan tax forms for the state at this 560 image/min scanner in a huge room full of scanners, or at my other scanner job for an insurance firm in a building filled with work stations and tons of meaningless chatter: Definitely improved the signal/noise ratio.
Did I mention comfort? After charging the cans according to the instructions (16 hours), I put them on. Six hours later, I reluctantly removed them, mainly to see how long it would take to recharge the batteries. I'm as happy as a pig in poop.
