Steve Guttenberg praises the Sennheiser RS 130 for its light weight and comfort. He's impressed that sound quality is nearly comparable to a corded Sennheiser headphone, except for static during quiet passages. He's disappointed with the virtual surround sound, however, and criticizes the button placement.

Although the Sennheiser RS 130 review isn't as good as others on this Australian site, Matthew Overington gives some useful feedback. He feels that bass response is "outstanding" and that comfort is high. Range falls far short of the 100 meters advertised. Compared with other surround-sound headphones, the Sennheiser RS 130s are a good value.

David Price, who edits the British magazine Hi-Fi World, says the Sennheiser RS 130 headphones are a great value. He finds them comfortable although not particularly lightweight. He also likes the charging setup (also praised in the DigitalTrends.com review). Like other professional reviewers, he feels the virtual surround-sound feature is "unconvincing."
