 WHP150 August 23, 2007
Useable but barely adequate for an occasional use. Not good enough to delivery a really enjoyable listening to any 'serious' music lover.
Why would they design it this way? June 28, 2007
These headphones are completely useless for watching movies or listening to any kind of music with dynamics. I understand having the transmitter cut out when there is no signal at all, but to design it to cut out just because the audio is moderately quiet is the act of an imbecile.
I will never buy any model of RCA wireless headphones again.
 I love my new headphones November 4, 2005

I bought a set of refurbished headphones through Amazon, and I could not be more pleased. They were only $15 (with shipping) - I had almost paid 4x that amount for some Sony headphones until I read some questionable reviews. I am so glad I decided to try these. I listen to Launchcast radio all day at work, and have had no problems at all since getting them 2 months ago. I would highly recommend them, especially if you can get them at the right price.
 Mine lasted for 10 years. Very satisfied. July 24, 2005

Minimal extra noise (aka hissing) and the range is fabulous. I have travelled to entire other parts of my neighborhood with these still working fine. In fact, once I had to chase my dog around the streets when he got loose and the music never cut out. I have a 6 cd changer, so I know the charge lasts for at least several hours. Easy to use, not too big, comfortable on the head, takes up minimal space. Also, I listen to many different types of music and have experienced all of it BETTER thru these phones, especially Monster Magnet and violin music. My only actual complaint is that there are no replacements pads for the 'phones. Last year the protective film started to wear down, and I inquired as to replacement pads to no avail.
I bought this product so long ago and it has served me well. Until now. It's finally dying, it cuts in and out more often, the wires require some playing with, etc. 10 years with the same wireless headphones = a pretty darn good product! I am considering buying the same again.
Great but a tad over priced!!!! April 23, 2005

Before saying anything, I would like to start with saying that these are my first set of wireless headphones, bought them refurbished, I'm using Metal Hydride batteries and only had the product for about three days.
The 125 foot range is an awesome range for any kind of electronic device, I found the the range to be alittle more farther than mentioned, about 150 feet but with some static, any further and you get white noise (dead signal). Light weight headset, with very good grip on the ears. The signal does go through walls and floors very well with half second (0.5 seconds) of static because of pieces of metal between walls but it goes back to stereo quality. The stereo quality is awesome, sometimes even better than my wired headphones. The tuning of the RF (I think radio frequency) of the transmitter and on the headphones make it so easy to find a good signal. So far I haven't had anything being interfered with use. Sound is very good (considering it's wireless) good sound quality over all, as good and sometimes a lot better than my 25 dollar (wire) headset.
Like all other GOOD things, it has it's down sides. The transmitters' auto on and off feature is good but when the audio source (cd player, mp3 player, laptop) volume is too low (on the audio source) the transmitters' on and off feature reacts and turns off giving no signal to the headset, you must turn up the volume on the audio source to get signal back. The headset does have it's own volume control so you probably won't be running into this problem.
Nickel Cadnium batteries are recommended by the company but I still use Metal Hydride batteries, even with a low voltage of 2.4 volts (instead of 3.0). Fully charged, they run for a good amount of hours don't know specific or close to total amount but the most I've used them (without stopping) were around 2 hours. I have yet to figure out how much time they take until they weaken. When the batteries are low (I had my batteries recharged at a very low point when I recieved the package), the audio will start getting alittle staticky, increasing at a slow rate. The transmitter does recharge Nickel cadniums but not Metal hydride rechargable batteries.
These headphones (like other wireless headsets) are not good for easy listening like classical music because it sounds as if you're listening to a casset tape with the continous hissing. Wired headphones are a better choise for easy listeners. When you listen to heavier music such as hip-hop, R&B, Techno, Metal and other high volume sounds, you will not notice the hissing and you get an awesome Cd, mp3, live sound quality. Although, the ear cups are not ideal for long hearing because it presses on the ears, but they are good for about an hour (my ears started bothering me at an hours use).
All in all, these are a very good set for many different activities such as exercising, yard work, cleaning around the house, show off to friends at work and maybe even lazying off. The signal goes through almost anything easily, no disturbances (if you find the best tunning the set can offer, you will like this set a lot). If you buy them refurbished, Nickel cadnium batteries probably will not be included in the package(I didn't get any), only if you buy them refurbished. If you use other kinds of rechargable batteries make shure you buy a recharger for those batteries because the transmitter probably will not recharge them and I would not risk the chance of destroying the product so that it will recharge other types of batteries. You have been warned if it damages the product when you tried to charge different type batteries (other than Nickel Cadniums) using the transmitter, you have been told. Have a nice day :)
