Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of TV777 Wireless HeadphoneCustomer Review: Great Set of Ear phones Summary: 5 Stars
I recently replaced my Sony 36" Wega with a Panasonic Plasma 50". The Sony came equipped with its own integrated set of Stereo Infra-Red Headphones which performed very well. I needed now to obtain a similar set of headphones for the Panasonic, and looking over the very limited offering of Infra-Red units I selected the Unisar (is sold under the name Bebe also) based on the writeup and the attractive price. One competitive infra-red headphone set (heavily advertised and found in most stores including Costco) costs two to three times as much and they are most uncomfortable as they project into your ears. Don't bother even considering these as they are a complete waste of time. I don't know that the alternative radio frequency headphones are all that bad for you but I figure why subject your brain to it if you don't have to. I sent the first set of Unisar back due to what I thought was a defect of some kind -in short I couldn't get them to work. The second set was much the same and I was about to give up and send that back when I discovered that the placement of the infra-red transmitter was critical to proper operation. I had in both cases placed it on the low (18" off the floor) TV stand and the headphones just could not receive the IR signal from that impossibly shallow angle. I raised the transmitter to the height of the TV (about 50" off the floor) and that did it. I can't say enough good things about the headphones -the performance is every bit as good as the Sony set and yet more comfortable to wear. The reception is clear with no static and maybe a minor occasional hum but that can be cured with a slight movement of the head. To sum up, the quality, performance and price of this unit just cannot be beat. Buy this set and you will not be disappointed. By the way, the placement of the transmitter is clearly explained in the instructions -a lesson here for those of us who think we a too smart technically to bother with instructions. People who complain about these earphones just need to experiment in the placing of the transmitter to get proper reception it should be placed approximately at the same height as the headphones or a bit higher. Forget about microphone setups -if you don't have audio outputs on your TV don't bother with this. I have been using these earphones for over three years now and never a problem. I have since set four other people up with these headphones and all have no complaints. Get 4 Energizer Rechargeable AAA batteries if you want to save on batteries but really, a set of regular AAA batteries (Energizer or Duracell) will last more than three weeks unless you watch TV 24 hrs a day. Finally, you can get via E-Bay/Paypal a bag of 6 replacement earpiece covers (better than the originals) from Hong Kong in less than two weeks for the princely sum of less than $3.
