The Bottom Line: If you have a want/need for wireless headphones, these RCA 150 work very well. You can find them factory refurbished on eBay for good prices.
I was apprehensive when I purchased these headphones because of some of the other reviews. I have had the RCA 150 for a couple weeks now and they work really well. I live in a quadruplex and my upstairs neighbors sometimes complain that my TV is up too loud. Solution: these headphones. They work really well for sitting in one place. True, you have to adjust the "Channel" setting when you move around the house to avoid static, but it's not a major problem.
The biggest problem I've had with audio quality is finding a balance between the source volume and the headphone volume. That is, you want to adjust the source volume so that you can leave your headphone volume somewhere in the middle. When you turn the source up and headphones down too much; you will get distortion. If you turn the source down and the headphones up too much; you will notice white noise and pops. But there is a middle ground which sounds pretty good. Obviously these are not as good as the professional wired headphones I use when I play my keyboard. But given their convenience, they work really well.
I have not experienced any problems with my ears hurting as expressed by other reviewers. I have a big head but these headphones adjust fine so that they are not too tight. NOTE: I use another pair of headphones to work out. These do not seem like they would stay on with a lot of movement.
These are very good headphones. I got mine factory refurbished on ebay for a very reasonable price ($35). Their best use is for stationary use in front of the computer or television when you need to be quiet; but they work well around the house too. Hope this helps!
