Great for the price. 
2008-12-28
I think these headphones are great for the money I paid for them ($25). There is some static/distortion sometimes but it's not really a problem unless you're far (100 ft.) from the receiver. To avoid excessive distortion I recommend keeping the receiver volume low & then using the headphone volume for adjustment.

I use these headphones at my living quarters and with the limited space I have (7x7) the less clutter the better.
Wireless Headphones

The vendor sent the headphones very quickly. However, they were classified as 'new' but the box had been opened and the battery compartment cover was scuffed, indicating they were used. But they work just like new. I like these battery operated headphones because I do not need to keep putting them into the transmitting unti to recharge. The batteries actually last quite a long time.
don't buy - doesn't work

My headphones work for about 30 minutes - then static takes over. No amount of tuning, volume adjustment, plug and unplug works. They just stop working. I went to the Radio Shack where I had purchased them and the sales clerk that helped me has the same headphones - and the same problems. These were the second set of headphones - and I've just given up.
Do not buy these headphones 
2007-02-12
I used these headphones once. After that, the base would not stay powered on for more than 30 seconds. I verified that I had the right AC adapter, verified everything was turned on according to the manual, and I still couldn't keep it powered on. Tried switching to different outlets around the the computer, and that didn't help.
There's a reason these headphones are cheap: they don't work.

These RCA Wireless Stereo Headphones will help you enjoy your favorite tunes without hassling with the wires on the headphones! Featuring 900 MHz Radio Frequency and an Operating Distance up to 100 feet, you'll wonder what you did without these headphones!
Very Uncomfortable! 
2007-01-08
The sound quality of these headphones is ok. There was a pretty constant buzz or hum in the background. I like the feature of using regular batteries, no dying and waiting for them to recharge. The headphones are very uncomfortable! The self-adjusting strap is constantly pushing down on my head and pulling up on my ears. I couldn't wear them for very long without them giving me a headache.
Crystal clear, but must know about auto-shutoff 
2007-01-07
If you're thinking about getting these, you need to know that they automatically shutoff after 30-45 seconds if the input signal is weak. I was about to return them until I knew this. Just turn up the volume a little (it doesn't take much) on the device you're plugged in to and you won't have a problem.
Range is impressive: crystal clear audio up to about 35 feet. Still works at 50 but has a fair amount of static.
One review mentioned difficulty getting the battery cover off. I thought the same thing until I found the trick to it. You have to press in on the bottom of the cover and then slide it up (toward the top). It comes off with ease.
There's not much head room due to the intermediate strap. Depending on how you're built, you may have a problem getting the ear pieces to rest on your ears comfortably. Not a problem for kids.
Well worth it for me.
"iffy" product that needs work 
2006-11-07
These are RCA headphones? What happened to the quality products that they USED to put out? I can tell you right now, these aren't it.
Many letdowns and very few if any advantages in these earphones. Spend your money and get something else.
The first problem with these earphone is how they fit and feel on your head. Since the phones do not feature a swiveling feature like seen in most other headphone sets, you put them on your head and they feel like they're going to fall off.
You have to constantly adjust the tuning dials to achieve a constant and clear signal. The signal becomes distorted or can't be recieved at all if you go as far as an upstairs bedroom which is directly above the transmitter or anywhere in range. Other problems with reception include popping noises and static within a very short distance from the transmitter.
The automatic turn off is another feature which makes this model a poor choice. If the sound source is too low, such as a certain scene in a movie or something, the headphones will shut off within 30-60 seconds. This will usually come as a big surprise to you when the volume level changes and you hear loud static coming from the speakers which will cause most people to jump and fall out of their chair from the surprise.
The last problem with these headphones is that the battery cover is very hard to get off and back on again after replacing the batteries. Due to the way the headphones are attached so tightly to the band. You have to fight with the cover to get it up and through the band.
Save your money and go for something else.
Uncomfortable strap 
2006-09-12
I bought these at a local store, but I took them back, because when you wear them, there is a strap that hugs tightly to your head and actually presses down against your head considerably. This is uncomfortable and would really suck for someone like me, since I'm prone to getting headaches. I didn't even bother seeing how well these headphones worked, because even if they worked perfectly, I wouldn't have wanted to keep them.
