The Bottom Line: Great headphones! Nice for around the house use. Would recommend!
This is my first set of cordless headphones and I must honestly say... I'm never looking back!
Range
These headphones give a nice clear reception at your typical 900 MHz range. I was able to get clear reception with the base located on the second floor of my house while I was in the basement (with the usual occasional fuzzy reception depending on where I went). When I went outside, however, it went consistently fuzzy. In it's defense the base was located near the rear of the house and I went out the front door. **Just a note - The louder the volume on the source, the clearer the signal (You just have to remember the volume controls on the headset)
Ease of use
The controls are on the left headphone which took me a while to get used to but I see the practicality for a right-handed individual on the computer to continue to use the mouse or type while adjusting the frequency or volume. I wish the base were a little more sturdy though. I find I knock it around quite a bit but with that said they'v also held up to a minor beating.
My only minor problem with this set of headphones is the fact that when there's no music for a short while you get static. This can be handy but I find it more annoying than handy. Since the off switch is on the headset I can't really complain too much.
I would definitely recommend these headphones to anyone who likes to kick around the house with some tunes or even hooking it up to extract the sound from the DVD or VCR without waking the rest of the house.
