 Excellent Value!!! Apr 02, 2008
By real gypsy girl
This is our second set of these headphones and we have been very happy with the quality. At this price we expected some minor "issues" but they have performed well. My husband has hearing loss as does a friend. The two guys each put on a set of the headphones and they run off a single base (you can't charge while using headphones though!). When you first turn them on ... you hear hiss but once you have sound coming through it disappears. These have very good range as well. I have a split level home and we can go up a set of stairs and to the opposite far end of the house (even behind a closed door) and the sound comes through! They hold a charge very nicely but when they go ... they go with a pop and that is it. I love to use them late at night to watch our big screen without bothering those sleeping in the house.

 Using the headphones correctly, and they do work well Aug 14, 2008
By Volly
In reading the reviews, I'm thinking some people do not understand how to use them correctly. When I set mine up, you have to have the sound input set very high. This will cut down on the hiss you hear considerably. Also, there is a power saving feature that will cut off the connection when no sound is being inputted into the base station. This is by design, and takes a little getting used to. Once I understood all this, I discovered they work really well.
The only thing I do not like is when the unit is in power save mode, and the headphones are on, you will hear a pop type hiss every so often. This is caused by the units attempting to make a connection though the base is in power saving mode. No biggy, but it is something that could have been better engineered. I have a different brand of wireless headphones that do not do this, but they do not have the power save feature.

 Not bad... but "sometimes" requires VERY high volume as input. Sep 21, 2008
By J. McDonald
The quality of the stereo signal is excellent. However, depending on the input source, you must sometimes make sure that you have the sound source set to a VERY HIGH volume (or the "hiss" that others have mentioned will be more pronounced).
The "hiss" that is experienced with this headset can be described as a kind of windy sound that's added to the transmitted sound. It kind of sits far in the background of all other sounds. It doesn't distort the signal, it's just very distracting at times. It's an indication that the input signal isn't at high enough of a volume.
An example of input sources;
Connecting to my PC required me to adjust the PC sound output to a VERY high level.
Connecting directly to the RCA outputs on my DVD player delivered excellent sound.
I also purchased the Acoustic Research AW722 headphones as a comparison. There is less of an issue with "hiss" with the AW722, but the RCA headphones are more comfortable AND in my opinion deliver more of a FULL stereo sound (when configured correctly). Also, the AW722 has the WORST battery recharging method I have ever seen (induction). They stopped recharging properly within one day of owning them, meaning that you will have to resort to charging the batteries using an external charger.
An interesting note; The AW722 headphones (Acoustic Research) will work with the RCA transmitter (because the headphones can be manually tuned). Tuning the AR headphones to the RCA transmitter did not exhibit ANY hiss, which leads me to believe that the "hiss" on the RCA headphones is caused by the receiver in the headset. If you already own the AR headphones, you might find it usefull to know that you can still use them with the RCA transmitter (at the same time as the RCA headset if you wish).
There are certainly better wireless headphones out there, but if you get a good price on these (in the $10-$20 range), you'll probably find them to be fairly decent.

I love these headphones! Nov 02, 2010
By Tadster00
These headphones provide excellent quality. The bass sound is great for the small price of the set. Someone below stated that the input volume needs to be high sometimes, well, that's usually a norm for whatever the input is. I connected these to my tv in the "audio out" jack (red and white) using a converter that has the male red and white on one side and a female audio headphone jack on the other, and when my roommate's asleep, I can turn the volume on the tv all the way down and simply control it from these headphones. They really perfect for that kind of scenario. I have a Dynex tv and I can almost say that I'd rather hear the sound from this headset than my tv. I like that it was a charging/docking station and includes batteries. The battery life is about 6 hours I think. I usually put them back charging when I'm done using them, so personally I have never drained the battery. There is some static, not all the time, but not so much that it's unbearable. These are not IR(Infra Red) like most tv remotes, they use some kind of radio wave technology, I'm not an expert on exactly what it is, but it's way better than IR headsets. I would definitely recommend these to anyone. Unless you felt like spending $100 bucks on a pair, then of course, you should do that! But if you want a fairly low-priced and great quality headset, this is what you want.

Not perfect. May 30, 2009
By Jay-V

This is the first pair of wireless headphones I've purchased.
First, It should be noted that to connect these to your TV, you will need to purchase a converter so you can plug them into your A/V ports on the TV. I don't have a sound system, so if you have one, perhaps this isn't necessary. I got this one and it works fine:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002GUBIS/ref=s9_subs_gw_s3_p23_t1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=0JW2ZJH4TT6NV4M9DFA5&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=470938631&pf_rd_i=507846
Second, they are quite comfortable. I wore them for about an hour without any problem.
Unfortunately there is quite a hiss at first I was really angry, till I turned up the volume up on the TV, then it was tolerable. Even after turning the volume far up on the TV there is still a bit of a hiss and the sound cracks here and there. We have HD so I guess I'm used to perfect sound. I don't know if this happens with all wireless headphones, but it does with these.
I guess I was expecting perfection for $40.00. Perfection, they are not. But the still work very well.
