2 comments about Rf Wireless Headphones.
- These work just as I had hoped. I get a clear, static and interference free sound from my television. The base station transmittion/charger hooks up to either your television or cable box. The headset receives the sound wire free. This allows me to watch tv when my spouse wants some quiet in the living room. Note: in my experience the quality of the audio cable you use affects the sound you hear so do not skimp and buy five-dollar cables.
- I Bought these Headphone a little while ago.The Sound is out-standing but that is it's only Truely Good thing.
The Battery System that comes with the Headphones don't last long, at about 1/2 Volume {on the headphones) they only lastabout 4.25-4.75 Hours, with a 3-4 hour rechage time.The Headphone battery cover is weak, and feals and looks like it break quickly if you open and close it often.Energizer Alkaline Battery only last 3 hours at best.Energizer 2500mah Rechargeable Batteries Last 4 hours, witch makes usen them for any long term times imposible.Although Sony Says the Headphones give you a warning that the Batteries are almost dead it has never worked for me.
The Range is very sad. My Bathroom is about 12 Feet away From the Transmitter the Signal tends to Drop in and out from that Short distance.
The Headphone hock-up to the TV is a Poor connectivity.The Headphone Eye Pad Have already Cost me in Replacements sence they are poorly made and have low last time.The Optical Digital Connection Work ok, but the Pass Threw never works no matter how much money you spend in Optical Digital Connecting Cables you buy.For the Cost Sony Charges for these Headphones you'd think the connectivity worked right, and came with a better set of Connector Cables.
The Headphone do fit your Head nicely but only if you keep you head at a 75 105 deg Strait up you look down or up to much the headphones seem to fall off easly.The self Adjusting Head Bad Barly works and The Rubbery Band Grabes your hair and pulls it out, or atleast that what it does to me if i'm not carefull on taken it off.
I Bought Sony Wireless Headphone becouse, the last set of Wireless headphones I got From Sony lasted very Long, and other Wirelss headphone system I got never lasted more than a Year, and unless you want to buy 2 or more Wireless Headphones {so one can Charge while you use the others} or feal very lucky {With the Poorly made/Designed Battery Cover} you can change battery alot.
If you tend to buy these Headphones you will need a sec. pair, and a few ext. Ear Pads.

1 comments about Nady Studio Stereo Headphones- QH 200.
- I don't believe these even deserve one star. They sounded terrible right out of the box, so i let them burn in for a few hours. did nothing to help the sound. really thin and hollow, hard to believe these have 40mm drivers. the bass is non existent. They don't adjust to your head well either. I got them for free with my samson headphone amp so its hard to complain. i ended up taking these apart and putting the drivers under my pillow for when i go to sleep. they are great for that but not any studio use. My sony mdr 7506's never sounded so good after trying these on. really makes you appreciate what you have after listening to these.

2 comments about Sony SHRM1 Street-Style Headphones with Built-In Radio (Gold).
- These headphones are really great for working out, they are light, comfortable and the sound quality is excellent. You can connect to a CD player or computer with relative ease and the sound is still great. They fit differently than most headphones, and it takes some getting used to, but they are comfortable.
- The radio reception is very poor. Cheaper and better to buy separate radio and headsets.

5 comments about Aiwa HP-CN6 Noise-Canceling Over-the-Ear Headphones.
- I agree with Watt mentioning there was a hiss..and I think its low-noise cancelling effect is good, not for voices at times.
Music quality was heavy in bass.
Fairly comfortable..its presence is well felt.
Dont understand why its price keeps fluctuating like crazy on Amazon (between $14 and $50)
- Ok,
I bought these two or three months ago after a colleague told me that noise-cancelling headphones are very nice when you are on the plane for hours and hours. He spend $299 for his. When this set was on sale for $15 I asked myself what can go wrong - especially when brand Aiwa is behind this.
Here are the reason why I don't like this set:
- very, very annoying "high hiss" (see others people's reviews)
- beside this extra noise I actually noticed only a little reduction of external noise; I tried it on the plane from California to Germany for I would say 2 min (couldn't stand the high hiss for longer), and also in an office with a desktop computer on; I'm not sure if external noise is really reduced or ears now focus on high frequency noise.
- it is not very comfortable due to plastic top
- with "high hiss" off, sound quality is like typical $5 headphones
Hope this helps.
- Save your hard earned $$$
It's simple "it doesn't work" the best ones I've tried on were the Boss, but they're very expensive. So I'm still waitting on the price to come down.
- I've had my HP-CN6's for going on 3 years now. On plane trips they're great at sound reduction. It does indeed reduce ambient noise by 70%. I take the train to work everyday which is extremely noisy. My HP-CN6 reduces those sounds also by at least 60-70%. Now the bad news: They start hurting your ears after 1-2 hours of use since they clamp on your head tightly and the earpads are thin to start with. Once you get use to them, they're not that bad.
Recently wear and tear starting catching up to it after 3 years of heavy use. The Earpads starting to wear down and tear and the wire going into the phone jack is starting to come out (tape is holding it place now). So I starting looking for some new headphones at a similiar price and equal or better noise reduction qualities.
I tried the Sony Noise-Canceling Folding Headphones Model: MDRNC6 at around $46.00 and returned them a day after I brought them. They had very poor noise reduction ability and poor sound quality as compared to my old HP-CN6's which was very surprising and disappointing. I may try Sennheiser's next. So my search continues. Overall these headphones are solidly constructed and offers good noise reduction quality and indeed is worth the buy.
- These headphones have been very useful. The only time they make a little hiss noise is when the battery is about to die. Other than that I would recommend these headphones.

4 comments about Sennheiser MM30 Stereo Headset for Mobile Phones.
- ...having used Sennheiser's headphones for years. My HD600 stereo headphones are the best I've ever encountered: absolutely amazing sound, especially when used with a headphone amp. They're so good, you start wondering, "Do I really need speakers?"
So when I phoned Sennheiser and asked them if they made a product which could be used both as a cellphone headset and for listening to music--and they recommended the MM30--I thought this would be an ideal companion on the long bus ride to work. I could use it not only for hands-free conversations, but also for listening to MP3 files on my photo viewer. (I have an Epson P-2000 Multimedia Storage Viewer, a handy device for digital camera aficionados; it combines a memory card reader, 40GB hard drive and a 4-inch LCD screen. Oh yes, it plays MP3s and videos also.)
And having read the description (here) of the MM30 headset, with its reference to stereo listening on a "mobile multimedia device", it sounded as if Sennheiser had come up with a clever "kill two birds with one stone" solution.
Wrong!
I assumed "mobile multimedia device" was some kind of techno-marketing-speak, and that the MM30 would work fine for stereo listening with any portable music gadget.
Wrong!
The MM30 can be used for listening to music only if you have a cellphone which also plays MP3 files (or some other form of digital music).
It CANNOT be used with an iPod or a Walkman. The size of the plug is different.
Why not get an adapter? As I just learned (speaking on the phone with Sennheiser...again), music-equipped cellphones have their own peculiar method of sending a stereo signal through the cable. A "standard" which is completely incompatible with portable CD players and MP3 players etc.
The MM30 is a decent and perfectly usable headset for your mobile phone. It's flimsy in its build quality, but that's not surprising for its price range. (My Sennheiser HD600 headphones cost about $300, vs. about $30 for the MM30.)
Others can hear my voice clearly when I use it. This despite the fact that the headset's microphone is so discreet, I have no idea where it is (and therefore can't adjust its placement, by which I mean the distance between microphone and mouth). Callers' voices are intelligible: not impressive clarity, but better than through my cellphone itself.
I'd give the MM30 four stars, if Sennheiser's product literature and sales staff would make it clear that it can be used only with mobile phones. But they blur the distinction, setting up customers to be disappointed when learn they can't plug the headset into their iPod.
- I have a Motorola E 815 phone and these headphones sound fantastic! I have purchased this style of headphones made by another manufacture and they were tight on my head, These can be worn until the cows come home, no problems.
- COMPATIBILITY: I'm using these with a LG CU500. Although the Sennheiser Headset Selector application doesn't list them as compatible, someone told me they were. Well, not quite... the headphones work, but the call answer/end button does not.
I also have problems with the microphone--sometimes it's fine, and sometimes they can't hear a thing on the other end (I hear, "Hello? Hello? Hello?" and they hang up.) When I called my home voice mail so I could hear what I sounded like using the headset, there was an annoying backround noise on my message. I don't know whether to blame the headset or my phone/network.
COMFORT: Very comfortable when I'm just sitting, but I have to constantly re-adjust them when I'm walking. They slip, and every time I move my head the band bumps my collar and they get knocked out of place. This is my biggest issue, though it's more with the neckband style generally than the headphones themselves. The style also doesn't lend itself well to single-ear wearing, making them impractical as a hands-free set for driving.
SOUND: I'm pleasantly surprised. The sound is actually very good. Not super bassy, but in line with expectations. One big disappointment is that there is not a volume control built into the headset.
OVERALL: I already have an MP3 player and IEMs. But I don't always carry the MP3 player, and IEMs are TOO good at noise-blocking--you have to take them out every time someone speaks to you, and you can't hear the car that's about to run you down in the street. I figured the phone with regular headphones would be perfect for that use: I always have the phone with me, I could still hear with the headphones on, and they're easy-on/off.
I didn't entirely think this through. First it's a case of "be careful what you wish for." I can hear the traffic so well that it's hard to hear the music over it on a busy street. And "easy-on/off" has proven to be its own problem. Also, since the headphones don't fold or collapse at all, it's impractical to just keep them in my pocket for that "impromptu" listening I'd hoped for.
Most of my issues are specific to my use/expectations, so I still rate them pretty high. But if I had it to do over I think I would get regular headphones with an adapter (there's one available with a built-in mic). Then I would have the flexibility to use them with my MP3 player or phone. As it is these are more than I probably should have paid for a one-trick-pony that isn't completely compatible with my phone.
- Rated 3 stars, because I have no idea how well it works. Only the right channel made any kind of sound using it with a Cingular 2125 made by HTC. I fault Sennheiser and Amazon for not doing some research and explaining the complicated inticracies of what makes a headset work with what instrument. There are 3.5mm and 2.5mm plugs and then there are 3 pole and 4 pole plugs, and there are converters from one to the other, etc. How is the consumer to know what works with what, unless the merchants and manufacturers provide that information? I called Cingular and they admit they know of NO manufacturer who makes a combination stereo headphone (an earplug unit that works came with the phone, but the plugs just dangle in your ears and can fall out whenever they want to) with the ability to answer phone calls on the same headset. Cingular would not offer to let me out of my 2 year contract so I could get for a phone that has this capability (i.e. ME buying the equipment that works for me). I wonder what incompatibility problems the Apple iPhone will have that we don't know about yet?
