Cordless headphones, uses 2 x AAA rechargeables, pretty clear broadcasting, can walk to other rooms … or parts of house and still hear it, 3 channel selection, base station is a recharger.
These headphones went on sale a few weeks ago. Your local store may or may not have them in stock. Mine still had a few when I visited today.
Thoughts: Excellent if your tv has RCA audio out and no 3.5 mm audio out … since the base uses RCA audio slots, you can get an RCA audio to RCA audio cable easily, and get this set to work with your tv.
It uses 2 x AAA s … in my case, I have a fast charger for AAA s and AA s, so I will just fast charge the batteries once a week rather than leaving the base on all the time to charge.
The ear phones are padded nicely and the handle is also padded too :)
It's not in the instructions but I found my pair is designed to extend.
I'm using them and I got my dad a pair for Father's day … :) THey are pretty good :)
Energy saving feature may cause a little "fun" when using these with a computer. The device turns off after 4 mins of no signal. So if your computer doesn't play any music, sounds etc for 4 mins, the device may turn itself off until you decide to say, watch a movie. At that point, you may want to turn your headset on and off to resynch.
The broadcasting range on these things is … well … I walked 2 floors away from the unit, with a door shut in between … and it was still coming through nicely …
Another thought … cordless headphones (not bluetooth) are often about $80 and above (at least, when I checked, JB Hifi, Dicksmith and Tandy). These seem really nice and are a great price :)
Good luck getting the last ones if you want them :)
Yep, I held off posting it till:
- my dad had time to use it for a while (letting me see that they are good items I don't have to return)
- I had time to get back and get myself a pair :P
