Customer Reviews

Excellent headphones
The quality of reception on these is great - I have found that they cover a wider range than quoted in the manual (7m) with no distortion until you really move out of sight of the transmitter. Everything you need is in the box - requiring very little setting up. They are very light to wear.

Music!
These are my first pair of cordless headphones, and I am very pleased.

One thing is that you have to have the litle receptor box higher than you are.

Other than that, the sound is excellent.

You have been warned...
For the price, this is a very good set of headphones, and the convenience of cordless 'phones is very attractive indeed.
But, this model has a huge flaw, namely that the IR transmitter (the thing that plugs into the iPod/discman/radio) doesn't run on batteries. Isn't that crazy! So you have to be near a mains socket to actually use the things. And, as I wanted to use these around the house, they are ompletely and utterly useless!
Anyway. apart from that, they are cheap, the sound quality is good (as long as you are in line with the transmitter) and they come with batteries for the headset. But you have been warned about their major, fatal flaw.
Thus, two stars for the price and quality of sound.
