Good to go.
After receiving them, it was 5 minutes and two cable connections later that I was trying them out. I plugged them straight into the headphone jack on my audio receiver and immediately heard a loud fuzzy noise. I had my volume set to about 40% of the max, and tried turning it up and turning down the volume on the headphones. Worked great. If I turn off the source and turn up volume, I get the fuzzy sound back again, but if I leave them at where I was listening it's only noticeable if you're trying to hear it. Easily drowned out just by a refrigerator motor, AC, or anything else you have humming along nearby. However, they require a fairly strong signal to allow you to keep the volume on low enough to prevent the fuzzy noise from becoming prevalent. If I use my laptop, I can hear white noise during quiet portions of songs and anything else. They aren't that well suited to music, but then again I didn't get them to listen to music. I still would have no issue if I was listening to music while doing something else.
As far as receptivity goes, they're nice enough in that if you lose the signal, you'll just get no noise. The range isn't spectacular, but if you're using them to watch TV, you probably aren't that far away. 10 feet is about as far as I can go and get good quality.
The build quality is pretty good - They feel a little cheap, but that's mainly because you don't want a very stiff headband. They really do have a good system for fitting on your head - they automatically snap back to position when you take them off, which makes it easier to put them on the cradle. Speaking of the cradle, the charging system is a little annoying. I had to fiddle with it for a minute to figure out how to get the contacts to line up.
Overall, it's a good deal for the money. You know that for $40 or so, you aren't getting the holy grail of wireless sound, but you do get your money's worth. If you're looking to spend about 40 bucks, look no further. Rating:

Good Headphones. If you are moving around a lot they may cut out on you but I bought mine to play video games and not irritate my wife. I also have a slight hearing loss and use them so I can watch movies with the rest of the family and not turn up the volume. Rating:

Great electronics purchase
I bought these headphones for my husband so he could keep the TV volume at a normal level when everyone else was in bed. They work great, and I've even used them myself a time or two. The sound quality is good, and it's so nice to not have to strain to hear the TV if someone is sleeping! Operation is very simple, as well as re-charging the batteries. Rating:

Produce works great. I bought so I could listen to the tv while my partners sleeps and have been very satisfied with the sound volume. Rating:

considering the price, you get what you pay for
these aren't the greatest headphones out there, but for the price they get the job done. Battery life is excellent. My only real complaint is the "noise" they make when you turn them up, but if you turn, for example, the tv up rather than the headphones, its not too bad. These are what I would expect for the price. The 'free shipping' is slow.... :( so if you choose that option be prepared to wait. |
