Loving Them - Acoustic Research Wireless Headphones Review
Posted by Kay Stanford Jr Kastum at 4:18 AMI live in an urban area, yet I hear no interference in these wireless headphones. They are expensive, but I would buy again.
If you never need the source to be on at the same time you are using the 180's, this will not be an issue for you. For me, it is very typical for the TV to be on for others while I am using the headphones. Your mileage may differ. The base-station cradle unit is relatively compact and hides behind my wide-screen LCD display, out of sight. I bought a set of these a few weeks ago. I'm an overnight worker and try to keep my sleep pattern regular, so I'm often up all night on my nights off. It fits comfortably on the ears for hours of use without discomfort. The AGC works VERY WELL indeed.
Everything considered I would recommend this headset highly to anyone! I bought this wireless headphone system to use while watching TV late at night, so I won't wake my spouse who sleeps upstairs above the TV room. The size of the buttons and their labeling are so small that anyone over 40 will have serious issues about using them. I use the earphones to watch TV while my wife is using the regular TV speakers. I get both sounds but at slightly different moments in time. Others have mentioned that the controls on the right earpiece take a little to get used to. Maybe it was the fore warnings, but I had no trouble. It is probably about 1/3 of a second. That may not sound like much, but when you're playing 32nd notes on a guitar, what you're playing gets to your ears 4 notes later than you played it.
Panasonic I think. I wanted to spend the money and get something with better sound and more comfort.
It covers my whole home and out into the yard for a little distance. You'll never get the rated 100 meter range unless the transmitter and receiver are both outside and in the clear, but the range of this pair is very adequate! The sound is really great quality, and because they are so lightweight, you can probably wear them for hours without any discomfort. I highly recommend these headphones, especially for couples who don't have the exact same sleep schedule. Plus, I have had since initial release and still don't know what the ALC button does, I'm sure it is some gimmick. Worst of all, the thing flashes the power light all the time whether on or off. If you're going out jogging for miles, don't take anything for granted. Take in mind the open design though; if you're in the same room as someone who's planning on sleeping, you can't turn these up too high.

These were huge and comfortable. But if you are looking for "godly" headphones, this isn't it. Buy Headphones Online. Opened the infrared wireless headphones up a 1/2 hour ago. Quality of sound is nice, however the way it sits on top of your head may cause you to definitely feel pressure/headaches after 1 or 2 hrs. WIRELESS HOME STEREO.
