Whole Lotta Noise June 29, 2008 2 out of 5 found this review helpful
Headphones I bought this item somehow, fortunately, before the price skyrocketed 20 bucks. I got it for 57.09. Don't know how or why sony or amazing jacked the price, but stoked I got this before it went up. Weird how that worked out. So THAT in itself earns a star for this item.
Design: VERY sweet, simple and intuitive. The analog RCA red-white is convertible to the 3.5mm jack. You just flip the cable around and use the opposite end on the reciever for whatever port your don't have. I was impressed with the little usage of cords and cable-age. Additionally, the simple 3 channel switch, battery opening button, and volume button are the ONLY buttons on the headphones. A+ for simplistic design. The out-on-of with the headband works well, too, but I'm concerned with some wear and tear that might be a problem, sot hat's solid right there. 2 more stores for design.
I wish the actual ear muffs were totally soundproof. I had been wearing peltor ear plugs (Designed for chainsaw noise) to block out ambient noise and had always shoved earbuds under those, this, understandably, offered a huge upgrade to listenign to music, but would have liked it to be totally soundproof. But that's not really a buying factor for most people. The ear muffs DO totally surround your ears with a desireable cushion. So tack on another star for comfort.
All that is GREAT! But it snaps, crackles and pops on all three of the channels of the channels , that's the most essential feature, so that loses three stars!
There's so few buttons and/or cordage you need to fiddle with. The minimum amount of plugs that came with the thing enhances the gist of wireless headphones (no cable clutter). This is a stellar poduct. And if you could get for 57.09 like I did, it's a steal. The ability to roam around the house while listening to music or some program is magically liberating. You don't have ot pause audo files while taking a bathroom break anymore. Haha!
Neglibible: Packaging. Why the hell do they make these so impossible to open from the plastic wrapper?! haha!
Excellent for enjoying your music/movies June 16, 2008 I have this hooked up in my main living room, and it's connected to my Television set. I bought this because I watch tv late night and other people in the house were complaing that they could not sleep as they could hear the tv. Everything about this product is great.
Just one down side. If you are watching a movie, take breaks with the headset, as it heats up your ears. Also clean the ear peice as sweat builds up. It does get hot.
Good Product May 27, 2008 This unit are very comfortable to use for many hours and provide a excellent sound quality, most of time. The wireless range is good for small houses or apartments. The charge base is amazing and works perfectly.
The only problem I found that with it, is that frequently i hear interference noise, but it's probably caused by some other devices working at the same frequency.
Works Well Just What I Needed! April 28, 2008 This is exactly what I needed for my Spouse to use while I was sleeping in the early hours. She can watch what ever she would like with out disturbing me. Works well. Almost a great surround sound feel individually. Nice produce for the price!! Just a little buzz of static in low volumes...900mhz thats why!
Fantastic headphones - Better than Acoustic Research April 10, 2008 These headphones are great, I love them. I wear them all day at work and I forget I have them on because they are so comfortable. The reception is good at short range, which is all I use them for. The only drawback is that they take a couple second to turn on at first, but that's not a big deal. I would definitely recommend these headphones.
I had previously purchased the Acoustic Research wireless headphones and they not only had poor reception, even at close range, but they stopped charging after only three weeks of use. I returned them and got these headphones instead... a good trade.
