Great Product [Posted on 2007-12-12] This product was exactly what I have been searching for. I have purchased four similar products in the past two years and was very disappointed. I do not know of a better product for the price and for the satisfaction it has afforded me. I am totally deaf in my left ear and partially deaf in my right ear and this was the perfect solution to my hearing problems with television, record, cd players and radios. I would recommend this product to anybody with or without a hearing problem.
Charging Issues [Posted on 2008-01-01] We purchased the AW722 for my slightly deaf mother, who loves them. Very comfortable. However, they won't stay charged for more than four hours of TV time, and she watches TV all day long. The very short time they stay charged seems crazy to me, and I have no idea how to contact a manufacturer to see if this is normal. We recharged and drained and recharged three times, as per instructions, but even now, the charge won't hold more than four hours, five at the top. Too much hassle to go in and balance them in the cradle, then let them charge overnight, only to use them for four or five hours and go through this again. I'll be returning these to where we purchased them.
impressed [Posted on 2008-02-17] This product allows complete comfort and sound. The batteries for the headphones last forever. Volume is completely at the control of the earphone, not the T.V. or other applicable appliance. The T.V. can even be put in the mute positiona and the earphones work independently.
The only complaint is that the volume and tone control for the earphones are not easy to locate by touch, especially when the earphones are positioned on your head.
Waste of money [Posted on 2008-02-27] The Acoustic Research AW-771 gave out when I replaced different rechargeable batteries. I used the headphones just for TV and the 771 was an ok product but experienced long start up times. I purchased the 772 and hate them. Cheap plastic, no range, louding hissing sound, strap above top of head causes discomfort and difficult to insert in rechargeable cradle. Bought the Sennheiser RS12 and most pleased. Returned the junky 772 which is a deplorable product and should be avoided at any price.
Gets the job done for price, but not for people who crave quality. [Posted on 2008-07-27] The price isn't too high but you get what you pay for. I have a pretty big head, I'm almost 6'2 and these headphones would slide off with the slightest of movements. I primarily use these headphones tied into a A/V receiver to listen to music/tv/video games when the rest of my house is asleep. The base station is no more than 6 feet away and I get static whenever I move on the couch. I have tried manipulating the settings, with no joy. It is just not a high quality product, but for the price it gets the job done. If you are an audiophile and superior audio quality is what you are looking for stay away.
