Nice, but not long lasting.

The Bottom Line: Stay away if you want top quality, or purchase an in store warranty so you can be assured you won't be out 100 bucks for nothing.
I bought these less than a year ago, my wife and I decided that instead of having a stereo system to annoy the neighbors, we'd get headsets to watch our movies. They worked great up until about 3 weeks ago when the transmitter malfunctioned and the sound quality was extremely bad, with a high pitched whine. Nothing I tried with the transmitter worked, so I dug out the other transmitter because we bought two complete sets. Problem solved, for about 3 weeks when the second transmitter encountered the same problem. I am trying to deal with customer service to get a new transmitter, and not having much luck. There is a lot of interference during normal use, but overall the sound quality is great. The headphones do slip off easily as some people noted. But the supraural style allows you to wear them for hours and hours on end without headphone ache. I would buy them again simply for the comfort, but I wish they had less interference and more longevity. They also burn through batteries so if you get them consider rechargeables. Be sure to get the extended warranty as well because I have to figure if the same thing happened to two transmitters it will happen to others as well.
