Customer Reviews:

Great buy [Posted on 2005-07-23]
I bought a refurbished pair last month and love them, For the price they're a steal. The sound is really good & with the surround sound they pick up background noises usually not heard.
They are very comfortable with padded ear cups, and have a good range also. Don't be scared off by the the price thinking they're cheap, try em' first then decide if you wanna upgrade.

Great.....for the right price [Posted on 2005-08-05]
I just got these at Radio Shack on sale for 19.99! Well, you can't beat the price but there are some caveats.

1. The range is probably more like 15 feet, and you really need to be in direct line of the transmitter...walk out of the room or block the transmitter and you get nothing but static. But, if you are within range the sound is excellent. The headphones are also very comfortable.

2. The instructions that came with mine were wrong regarding the recharging of the batteries. The instructions say to turn OFF the transmitter while recharging, but the transmitter must be turned ON to charge the batteries. Radio Shack customer service was very apologetic in pointing this out.

For $20 I think they're great, but I would not be satisfied with them at their regular price. If they still have them at this price at Radio Shack I'd say rush out and grab a bunch...great for Christmas presents...

Excellent value [Posted on 2006-02-06]
I took the advice of others and went to Radio Shack--still on sale for $19.99 as of 2/5/2006. The sound quality is great, and they fit very well (the self-adjusting strap works great). I use it for watching TV on the treadmill. The volume control on the headphones increases volume substantially, enabling you to drown out external noise. Comes with several adapters (mini walkman type, large stereo headphone type, and RCA to go into the TV output). If you need wireless headphones to watch TV and you don't need top-line sound quality (and you don't want to spend a lot), GET THESE!!

Pointless [Posted on 2007-02-09]
I purchased a set of these new and was unable to get them to work further than 6 inches from the transmitter. This negates any value the wireless feature may have. Fortunately, the vendor refunded the purchase price.

I eventually got around the problem by attaching a 25 foot extension cord to a set of ordinary headphones.

On the plus side, the headband is extremely comfortable. I recommend this model to anyone who enjoys wearing headphones but isn't concerned whether they work or not.

Nice set for the price [Posted on 2007-09-06]
As everyone else stated these are for use when you are primarily going to be in-line with the transmitter at all times.
I use mine everyday for 8+ hours a day listening to Stern and love them.
I recommend these highly.
