Hi there. i just got hold of the panasonic wf810 brandnew at a car boot sale for a wooping 12 pounds instead of theaverage 35 pound retail price. my friend got a senheiser rs 130 so i got something else to compare it to.
The overall technical specification are more or less the same with the advertised 100m range and so on.
i wonder what kind of sound quality you get at 100m if any at all.

the transmiter is situated in the first floor front bedroom. distance wise the senheiser beats the panasonic easily with the panasonic showing signs of weakness in theback garden with a tendency to have hissing sounds when moving wich stops when you settle . the senheiseir doesnot show this weakness but the sound quality is the same . in the front garden the sound quality is great and similar in both pair of headphones. i just notice that the panasonic got a tiny bit better restitution of the bass frequency wich might be as well de to the fact that the panasonic got this kind of ear enclosing padding and the senheiser just a flat padding. so the panasonic filter out a lot more of external noises like car or so .
i didnot go for the senheiser because the set is far to big for my head and is really easy to lose. the earphones are to far apart and dont have any grip on your head . if you bend over to pick something they just slide of. the panasonic has got a far better grip with very close earphones and a complete enclosing of the ear.
the panasonic are far less wide than the senheiser wich has got this thing to make you look as a big eared puppy.
comfort wise the panasonic is very good and doesnot apply to much pressure on your head.
the good tning with the senheiser is that i comes with their rechargind stand wich is very nicely designed and easy of use . the panasonic comes with a more traditional round transmiting base with a small cable that you will have to plug into the earphone to get them recharged. you can remove the 2 ro3 rechargable battery from the headphones .the smaller battery makes the set less heavy and bulky than the senheiser. both set got this annoying thing about the tunning wheel being on the same ear than the volume wheel so be prepared for static attacks when touching the wrong one..
over all a very good set that i will recommand for indoor use over a short distance max 15 metters
