These are not anywhere near worth the money! I suppose anyone deeply committed to the idea of wireless headphones ought to spring for pricier models, but this shabby excuse for a set of headphones has put me off the idea altogether. I'll stick to limited mobility for clear sound for now. The static is terrible, I can't hear a thing...so sue me for having a cordless phone! I'm embarassed I ever bought these....don't bother! I'd give it NO STARS if I could.

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 these earphones so that I could hear the TV when my wife is on the phone, without having to raise it....for that purpose, they're fine. Yes, there is some hissing from time to time when you move around, you have to do some tweaking to get a clear, distortion free signal, but at the end of it the sound is really good. I mean, for the price, what more can you really ask for?

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 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!
