Great Transmitter, bad headphones 
2006-04-01
I bought these for myself about a year ago, and was kind of upset over the range I got (less than 100 feet). However when I used a set of RCA wireless headphones with this Advent transmitter I got a range of about 1000 feet (from in the house) and well over 1/4 mile Line-Of-Sight. So if you buy this set and you want a better range, pick up a set of RCA wireless headphones to use with it instead of the advent headphones. They sound better to!
So all in all the transmitter is 5 stars, the headphones are 1 star.
Great Reception! 2005-07-15
I love my Advent Wireless stereo headphones. I have 3 and have used them for several years. The only complaint is that the ear pads have worn out and I cannot find new ones. I was able to before the company was bought out. The only reception problem I ever have is when I leave one particular cordless phone off the base. I get a periodic beeping. Return the phone to the base and the beeping stops. I have a studio separate from my house. I can listen clearly in the studio from a tv playing next door. Buy one today!
Easily breakable headset, charging suggestion 
2004-04-21
I'm not brutal with equipment, but in a few short weeks, the flimsy plastic part that holds the ear pieces to the headset broke on one side. Within a month or two the other side went as well forcing me to use office paper clamps to hold the whole thing together.
I use them in bed late at night when the household is asleep. A second convenient bedside charger would be nice. I tend to put them down on the bedside table before I doze off rather than get up and walk across the room hook it up for recharge. If you're a late night TV watcher, you too might call this justifiable laziness. Too many times I put them on the next night and find the battery's down.
I honestly think that before I replace them with another wireless, I'd find a way to sneak an extension wire across the room through attic or basement space and go with a standard wired headphone.
Experimental Head Gear 2004-02-17
I thought wireless would allow me to move freely while listening to music, but that has been anything but the case. With my pair, there is a constant 'fuzz' almost like I am listening to an old AM radio. It falls out of frequency so often I find myself adjusting the tuner usually after 3 or 4 songs. If I simply move four feet away from the receiver I am punished by extremely loud distortion. It's painful. Since I've had these I've yet to be able to find the 'perfect' frequency, never getting the clear sound I had hoped for. In addition to the flawed usability, these are a lot bigger than they look and a just a little too cumbersome. I've learned that with wireless headphones it's best to spend a little extra for better quality. But it cheap, buy it twice.
Decent sound for music, poor for talk 
2004-01-01
I had to return these phones as they were essentially unusable for spoken words. I use headphones on the computer for both music listening and internet phone calls. Music sounded okay, although there was some detectable hissing. However, talk (or anything with silent patches) was very choppy. You could make out what was being said, but it made extended calls somewhat aggravating.
On the plus side, the phones were very comfortable.
not at all "high fidelity" 2003-12-25

Sounds great, but needs a little help 2003-12-24
I had read the reviews where people were mentioning trouble with static in the headphones. I found that mine were shipped with the wrong transformer. Mine came with a 12v/100mA transformer, but the back of the transmitter shows that it needs 18v. Also the low amperage will increase the hissing. I got a generic 18v/300mA transformer at the store and now the hissing noise is gone and I can listen to anything I want with the volume up or down. I hope this helps.
Nothing wrong with these at all... 2003-12-20
Fine sound, good reception over a decent range (looks like I can get around the yard without them making any big complaints), comfortable.
I would say that the fidelity is only slightly less than the earbuds I'm used to. And the separation is better than I expected. There is a fair amount of hiss if no music is on, but I'm pretty picky and I think its totally tolerable.
Pretty Good 2003-08-16
These headphones are very great, But if you don't have it tuned correctly they can be a huge pain. You see the tuning must be changed for how much power is in the batteries I can walk around the house without having to lug around a big walkman bulging in my panys pocket or paying tons for a mp3 player. It comes with 3 AAA rechargeable batteries or you can go to the local food store and buy some nice non-rechargeable batteries. The manual tuning my be a hassle but once you've got it down it doesn't matter. These headphones are great for listening to music and T.V. but be prepared to adjust it a few times.
Extremely Comfortable 2003-08-14
I've used it for a little while now, and my wife confiscates it all the time to listen while she's doing housework.
Sound quality is great. Leans a little toward the low frequency side, but I can't be sure it's not my sources.
