I was replacing a 3 year old "as seen on TV" wireless FM based headset. These 900mhz state of the art headphones didn't even come close.

Here are the problems:

Headphones picked up a local TV station even with the base turned of. Very poor performance when used plugged into my TV's RCA type audio jacks. (why I bought them). Hissy and staticy walking around inside house (even close up). Tech support rep very condescending.

I am certain it was the model and not my TV or house or locality. I went out and purchased the Advent AW720 and have none of the above problems.

I would have liked to read this before I purchased.

On the good side, Amazon is making the return very very painless. Thanks Amazon!

I don't claim to know much about elctronics, but I do expect not to feel as though I have a cobra wrapped around my head hissing in my ear. It's enough to drive you insane and would not adjust out. The stated operating range of up to 150` is a bit exaggerated also. Some static within just a few feet. This product did not meet my expectations when purchased at around $60, their MAYBE worth about $20. Their going back.

I purchased this too because of the pricing. I have never been this dissapointed with a tech product in my life. You cannot move more than 10 feet without static and interferece, I would like to meet the idividual who tested this product at 150 feet becuse it more like 1.5 feet if you want any type of reception or sound quality. At any rate I did return this product as a very unsatisfied customer. This was the first and last product I purchase from the Jensen corp. Save your self the frustration and head aches (literally) and spend the money and get yourself and higher quality product. Also... Read a review or two before purchsing, I wish I had.

I think for the money these headphones are ok but they are painful after awhile expecially with glasses on, plus if you live in a certain area you will get alot of background noise expecially if you have a 900 mhz phone in the same room. As I said they are good for how little they cost but if you should think of spending more to get better.

I bought this primarily beacuse of the price- I regret ever buying it. It is a very poor quality item. Lot of static even when using 5-6 ft. from the transmitter. I have caught phone conversations on the headphones. Would not recommend.
