(More customer reviews)When I worked in radio in the 80's, Sennheiser offered a low-cost wired headset in this stethoscope configuration. They were comfortable, light, and easy to quickly put on or take off. Especially good for those wearing glasses, too. I like a closed ear headphone for listening to music, but this configuration is great for listening to TV.
These are infrared wireless, and as long as your are OK with the limits of that form of wireless, they work great. It's line of sight, and if you turn your head a fair amount you can get some static, or even a loss of signal if you turn much more than 45 degrees. But if you position the transmitter properly (in front of you, not off to one side), it's really not an issue. I can even go into the kitchen and maintain a signal as long as I'm pointed towards the transmitter.
Sound quality is very good, with excellent stereo separation that makes me glad I decided not to buy the mono set that was about $70 cheaper. The unit comes with three sets of ear pads. The solid black set that came "pre-installed" probably have the best sound quality, but were a little hard for lengthy usage. The black set with the collapsing ribs are much more comfortable.
I've been using these for about three weeks now, and have been very pleased with them. The only real (and minor) complaint I have is with the positioning of the volume control on the right side of the back on the unit. The way the unit hangs, the volume control can be brushed by your collar/shirt when you turn your head, changing the volume. Positioning it top center would avoid that, and seems a more intuitive place to reach as well.
