Summary: Expensive as compared to working
Review: After buying this Advent Headphone for $99.99 from amazon.com, i found that this headphone is not what i thought about it after reading about it on the net and the booklet included with the headset at the first sight.According to the manual the range is 300 feet. This is not true in the case of a scenario in which you use the headphone with walls e.t.c between the transmitter and the headphone. I placed the transmitter on the top floor of my house and the sound quality was very good in the area of about 60 * 50 feet on my top floor with concreate walls in between and wood doors, but when i went downstairs, the real thing showed up. While moving around i could easily hear hissing sound which disappers when i stop walking. Moreover the signal also became weak. I adjusted the frequency from the headphone but of no use. So whats the use, even i went up and changed the frequnency of the headphone and the transmitter again, but when i came back same was the result. The sound becomes louder when i came under the room in which i placed the transmitter. Allover it showed variable sound and i was just about 30 feet away from the transmitter with concrete walls in between. The second thing is that i went in the opposite direction of the room on the same floor in which i placed the transmitter and when i was about 20 feet away with 2 concrete walls in between and many glass windows, the signal was over. I belive that the 300 feet range is a marketing strategy or if its possible, its in an open space like a ground. In a house or through walls, its impossible. The headphone comes with 3 NiCD, rechargable batteries which are placed in the headset and the headphones are connected to the transmitter with a charging cable. The transmitter is then connected to the power outlet to charge the headphones. The initial charge is 24 hours (Plays 5 to 6 hours). Average charge is 10-12 hours (Plays 3-4 hours) and Extended Charge is 16-18 hours (Plays 5-6 hours). There is no indication of any type that the batteries are being charged on both the headphones and the transmitter. The headphones comes with Y cable adapter, AC adapter, charging cable and headohone adapter plug also. The accessories are enough to plug anywhere. This thing is made in China and the quality is not bad, the headphones fit very easily and are comfortable enough to fit over the ear but the grip of the headphones over the head is not so tight, if you look down the headphones also looses some of its original location and they might fall from your head if you jerk your head down. The transmitter is very light weight and its quality is not so good, moreover its not so powerful, but it works till the distance i have specified with very good results. The antenna of the transmitter is very light weight and it can break easily if not proper care is taken. Over all the headphones are of good quality material but not the transmitter. The range is not 300, its about 70 to 90 feet (works; very good in this range) with walls e.t.c in between and in an open space it is more. The sound quality is very good if you are on the same floor of the transmitter but distorts if you go on different floor. The price is high as compared to the product. It should be around $60. Note: This is a totally clear review of the product deflecting my own experience. I am not in the opposition of this company or product neither i have tried any other wireless headphones of this or some other company. You may observe the functioning, quality e.t.c of the headphones as deviated from the results which i have written in this review.

Summary: Really Pleased!
Review: I read a lot of reviews on wireless headphones before I ordered these. I must admit, I was worried these would not be that great. I have been using them mostly through a headphone jack at close range and the sound is very good, just a little hiss, but it breaks up a little when I move to a different room. When I use these through the CD output (a less convenient method for my system) the sound is great and I can move about the house, two floors - even out in the back yard. I have heard clearer "wired" headphones for about the same price, but for me that is just way too uncomfortable. These fit my needs perfectly!

Review: This product is almost useless to me because of the VERY limited range. In the same room as the transmitter it works fine, but I bought them so that I could move outside of my room. The product is lightwieght and very comfortable. If you plan to use it in the same room as the transmitter it is a must buy, but otherwise you would be better off saving your money. All in all it is a good high quality product. If the transmitter were a little stronger then it would be much better.

Review: Terrific value for the money. Sound is very clear and warm. Upper range and midrange as good as very expensive corded phones and speaker systems. The bass is not muddy, but it is less pronounced than with good speakers or corded phones. But the overall sound is still excellent. Requires a good deal of adjustment and fiddling to get the best sound and longest transmition range out of it. Don't set the level on the transmitter too high. You will get speaker overload. You can listen throughout your home, patio, and garage. But you generally get some bursts of static as you walk. None of these drawbacks bothers me. Best for listening to CD's. Sounds great with LP's too, but it transmits more groove wall noise and static than you are probably used to hearing from the RIAA jacks that your turntable is connected to.

Summary: Good headphones at first; didn't last long
Review: [December 2000] I really like these headphones. I also tried the Sony RF950-RK, which is in a comparable price range. What I liked about Sony: longer battery life (15 hr instead of 6 hr); there's a stand on which you can hang your headphones; there's an auto on-off feature that saves battery life. What I didn't like about Sony: you have to take the batteries out and put them into a recharger unit (I was expecting to just hang the headphones on the stand and have them recharge, like the Palm Pilots do in their cradles); when I tilt my head forward (at my desk, since I use these at work), they slide off. What I like about Advent: the sound is slightly better; the battery recharging is easy (plug it in and it recharges); they are more comfortable than the Sonys. What I didn't like about Advent: there's no recharging stand; the tuning knob is in a really bad place (where you'd put your hands when you're putting the headphones on). I didn't really care about the range, because I'm really only using them in the same room. One thing to be aware of: the Advent instruction manual (which nobody reads) says you should plug them into the LINE OUT and not the SPEAKER OUT port. The line out has a much stronger signal (unless you turn up the volume on the sound source). There's also an adjustment knob you're supposed to use to get the signal strength up to the right level. Before I did these two things, I got a lot of noise. After I read the instructions and set up a strong signal, I had almost no noise. Overall I really love them. I can listen to music really loud without bothering my officemate, and they're comfortable enough to wear all day without trouble. [December 2003] I no longer use these headphones for day to day use. After about six months, I got too annoyed with the sound fading in and out, the increasing amount of hiss, and the random loss of stereo signal. I'm back to using regular wired headphones, this time spending only $18 on an Aiwa pair that I like. I still use the Advent wireless headphones for occasional TV viewing (where sound quality is not so important), but I wouldn't recommend them.

Summary: Great Product!
Review: I am a very happy customer. The quality is not quite as high as corded headphones, but is fine for most types of music. The phones are very comfortable and don't require adjustment for much different sized heads.

Review: This item is definitely worth the money if you like music and yet have a place where you can't play it loud. I use mine at work, it works perfectly once you get the fine tuning sorted out and the batteries are fully charged. The headset is durable and lightweight. Look around for deals though. . .

Summary: Good, but not great...
Review: If you're looking for fairly inexpensive wireless headphones, this is the product you should definitively consider. One problem though, look somewhere else (for something more expensive?) if you're going to use them to listen to classical music. Rock, jazz, anything with more bass to it, sounds absolutely fine. If you're going to listen to a Mozart, forget about it.

Summary: The best wireless headphones yet
Review: I love these headphones! I bought these when a friend recommended them to me. I have gone through two sets of Clearline Concepts, which had a range of about 15 feet and broke easily. I then bought the Jensen headphones at Target for $60, and the foam material on the headphones disintegrated when I opened the package! They were very cheaply made. This set came within 48 hours and my 12-year old daughter set it up for me.(Plus no nasty, hard-to-open, plastic overwrap in the packaging.) Very easy to tune and operate. Range is great. I can still hear my TV programs clearly when I go downstairs or move from room to room. I just hope they have a long-life as well.

Summary: Solid product
Review: These headphones have good range and sound quality (nothing phenomenal, but more than adequate). Would have rated it 5 stars, but for one ergonomic issue. The tuning knob on the headphone set itself (you tune it to work with the base station) is very easy to accidentally turn -- thereby knocking it out of commision. Within the first week of using them, I've already had to retune several times (only takes a few seconds, but it's annoying).
