Unless you are a real picky audiophile, you will be pleased with the quality these headphones provide, and hey even if you are a picky audiophile you will probably be pleased! I did a lot of researching before I bought these wireless headphones and I'm very satisfied with the quality and price ($31.99). The instructions, if you can call them that, were little help in getting it set up, but after some googling and brain racking, I figured it out. (My older tv doesn't have a headphone jack on it so I ended up going through the surround sound system. You can't just plug the headphone base into your tv audio input unless the tv has its own amplifier.) I bought these for watching tv, but found the sound is so good, it's great for listening to music, too! I only use these headphones late at night and I am naturally close to the tv so, of course, the reception is great. I did try walking around with them on and got some hiss in certain places, but overall, I'd say this product is........the best bang.

Purchased these for our 18 year old son to use in his college dorm next year. Of course the first thing he had to do was see how far he could go before the sound was compromised too much. He went over 2 blocks from the house which meant one block down a slight hill and then around a corner for another block plus before the reception wasn't good enough for him. And we live in a neighborhood of a large city so there were houses, etc. between him and the base. The headphones themselves are comfortable and the sound is great. He's very pleased with them.

...it's a present from my wife this week (for when I go into Classic Arts Showcase mode at 11 PM and she can't stand the screechy sopranos). Nice intention, and I'd have no problem using them, except that (1) I've got to go into the HDTV's audio menu to shut down TV speakers in order to hear the headphones, and (2) no matter what channel and the headphone tuning, the background hiss is far worse than my sight tinnitus unless I turn the sound down to an almost inaudible level! The product is not acceptable. Also, (3) I spent about 2 hours trying to even get the base unit to illuminate - documentation is crappy (unusual for a German product) and troubleshooting on the two sheets provided (in more than a half dozen languages) is non-existent. It seems to take quite a while before it begins to send and the light goes on, and ditto for turn off...so long, in fact, that I was thinking I was connecting something wrong or the unit was malfunctioning. I am not impressed with this product. I am surprised to see so many happy with it.
