Customer Review: New to wireless headphones, and loving it
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my first set of wireless headphones, and I am very glad I spent the extra money. I recently purchased an iBook, and wanted some wireless headphones to go with it, so I could sit around the house with my iBook. As a fifteen year old with no job and a very tight wallet, I wasnt looking for something DJ quality, but I didnt want a poor product, which is true for pretty much all mainstream consumers.
I keep all of my music on my iPod, so I dont fill up space on my ibook. My iPod sits in its dock upstairs and charges while the transmitter, which sends out a radio frequency, is held up on the wall by a hook. Unlike previous reviewers, my headphones shipped with all necessary adapters to plug into anything. The headphones, which come with rechargable batteries, is very easy to charge. All I have to do is set them on top of the receiver, which has two metal bars on them that charge it. No wires, nothing.
I found these headphones to be very comfortable, which is saying something because I have a huge head, around 8 hat size.
They feel very solid, with no likelihood of breaking.
The sound quality is excellent. I am a big classic rock fan, so its great to be grooving to The Who with thumping bass lines and with a great overall sound quality.
My only concern with these headphones is that sometimes, it seems randomly, I get static. I was 15 ft away from the transmitter and I got some static, but then I have been over 200 ft away from transmitter with absolutely no static. I probably just need to fine tune it more.
Overall, I am very happy with these headphones, and at this price, an outstanding deal. I would not recommend these to frequent travelers, as the transmitter needs to be plugged in, so they are impossible to use on an airplane. However, they are wonderful for people like me, who dont travel nearly as much, but love music. A 5-star product.

A few years ago I purchased an expensive Panasonic wireless setup which recently failed completely. I searched for a replacement, and wanted something less expensive. I hear fine, but my wife likes to read and the TV sound intrudes. I read dozens of reviews, and can now say that the most positive ones about this unit reflect my experience. I was disappointed however in being able to know exactly what came with my purchase in reading about this system, so I'm going there for prospective buyers like me who like details. I have submitted a picture of what came in the box. The cradle/transmitter; the earphones; recharchable AAA bateries; power cord; extra connectors for different situations: (see picture); instructions in several languages. Built into the cradle/transmitter and coming out of the bottom, is the RCA red and black audio cord which plugs into the audio out on your TV or cable box etc. to which you choose to plug in. The power cord plugs into a little opening on the bottom of the cradle/transmitter which was tricky for me. However, once you plug in your done. I charged the batteries on my own charger which took about 30 minutes, and started using the unit. Considering the cost, I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the sound. It took me a few seconds to turn the tuner on the earphones and get the best quality, and after that I was done. I plugged the audio cords into my Comcast cable box because my plasma TV is mounted over my fireplace, and it would be a chore to take it down to plug into the audio out, even though that's probably the most convenient. If I want to listen to my DVD player, I have to take the 15 seconds or so to disconnect from the cable box and connect to the DVD player, a minor inconvenience. I ran my own audio tests listening to various shows and music and was very pleased with the sound. All in all I can recommend this unit, and have had zero problems with it.Customer Review: very good

this is my first pair of wireless headphones and i find them to be VERY comfortable and the range is very good 100m hard to beat that but i haven't taken them more then 200 feet so far but the farther u go the more static there is but thats expected with out it in direct line of site i got it to reach about 100 ft not to bad thats with its have to send a signal through a a thick wall tree and a table so its very good for distance and with the base sitting in my room i can go through the whole house with out a when ur around metal like going in ur car to get something it gets kind of staticy ....... they are load headphones......... will last a whole day on one full charge.... u can hook it up to ur mp3, tv, computer, an electric guitar with the 2 adapters that come with it so if ur looking to not spend more then 100 bucks on a pair of wireless headphone these are ur best bet i would say because my friend has a $[...] pair of headphones that only have a 100 ft range so yea definitely consider these
update: i've had these for about a year now and they still are amazing i have had the base sitting on the ground level floor of my house and i went about 250-300 feet away from it and i could still use them!!!! and i forgot to mention some stuffin the last review like the fact that these are extremely comfortable and the sound quality it awesome and i think to oly problem i have with these is that you cant take them everywhere but i knew that when i bought them so not really a con so if you looking for a pair of wireless headphone i dont care if you find a 500 dollar pair of wireless headphones and you can afford the get these!!!! sennhieser is a great brand and if you want portability get there bluetooth set yes they are far more expensive but if you have them money go for it but if you have say a 150-200 dollar budget get these!!!!!! you wont be disappointed i promise
Customer Review: The best thing for late night television since sliced bread?!?
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a fantastic product that I would recommend to anybody out there looking for a way to enjoy television without disturbing the ones you love. We bought these over 6 months ago because my wife and I enjoyed watching TV together in the living room after our kids went to sleep at night but our daughters room and the living room are separated only by a non-insulated interior wall and she is a light sleeper so we had to keep the volume at such a low level that we could barely hear any of the dialogue. Once I started looking for wireless headphones, I clicked over to amazon.com (as I usually do) and started my search. Instantly, I was drawn to these because of the great reviews, good name brand recognition, ease of charging, expandability, etc and I must say I'm glad I picked them up. We got two sets with the charging cradles as we keep one of the cradles/transmitters in the living room and one in our bedroom since each can use separate frequencies. Sound quality and range are both very good in my opinion, but I wasn't looking for any thing with crystal clear sound. In sound quality, these can't compare to my wired noise-cancelling head phones, but they do their job exceedingly well. If I try hard enough, I can usually pick up a very faint hisss typically associated with wireless devices such as these and on occasion I'll experience a short burst of static (less than a second), potentially due to the countless other wireless devices in my home but it's never bothered me enough to look into it. Despite the fact that most audiophiles probably wont be satisfied with the sound quality (not saying it's bad by any means, but it is wireless afterall) I would still HIGHLY recommend these headphones to anybody in the market for them.
5 starts because these were exactly what I was looking for and do the exact job I expected them to do.

I bought these headphone for my 95 year old dad who played the TV so loudly that even though he maintains that he is not deaf, he was making everyone else in the house deaf. We couldn't hold a conversation in the kitchen because the TV in the living room was so loud. Now we are living in blessed quiet where everyone can speak in a normal voice and my dad is thrilled to pieces because he can hear the TV clearly again. He finds the headphones very easy to use even though I read in a review that the switches were too close to each other and hard to differentiate. He says they are small and hard to see but not that hard to use. He is so happy! He can hear every word that is said by everyone on the television and if he wants to get up and walk around, he continues to wear the headphones and doesn't miss a moment of his programs. This is important when someone moves as slowly as he does and just getting a drink from the kitchen can be a 5 minute trip. He finds the headphones to be light on his head and easy to wear and they do not interfere with his hearing aid.
The only problem we did experience was that we had cordless telephones in the room and they picked up the sound from the TV after the cordless headphones were installed. Our solution was to get rid of the cordless phones and go back to a wired table model. I think that there are additional channels that you can select on the telephones so that the interference disappears. We tried several channels but the problem continued so we just gave up.
My dad is so thrilled with these headphones that he recommended them to his 97 year old sister and her 98 year old gentleman friend who have similar hearing problems.
By the way, my 25 year old daughter has also used the headphones to watch TV and agrees that they are great.
