Overall I like the headphones, but mostly because they are wireless and work with the Wii. I have no major complaints with the sound and it's adequate for what I use them for (casual gaming). I like the on/off switch and the volume control, which are both on the headset. My one complaint is that my ears get tired/sore after having them on for an hour or so and normally when I finally get a chance to play I play for a couple of hours so I generally come away with sore ears when using them. The soreness goes away after a 1/2 hour or so of not wearing them, but the design needs to be improved for a more comfortable fit.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good pair of late-night tv headphones, October 28, 2009

I bought these wireless headphones so that I could watch TV late at night
without bothering my wife. So far, they've been just what I was looking for.
The headphones are very light and have their own volume control so there's
no need to adjust the volume from the remote. The neckband is not adjustable,
but I haven't found a need to do so. I believe that some of the reviewers
thought the neckband was supposed to be worn over the head which would certainly
be to small for an adult, but worn correctly, I have not found this to be
the case. My only complaint, and it's fairly minor, is that I have to be
careful on the placement on my head so that the neckband isn't uncomfortable
to the tops of my ears. I would have liked a little better design in that
respect. Still, for the price, I find them hard to beat. I also see that the
price from Amazon has dropped a few cents from when I bought them, but I
do think they're easily worth the price. I probably would not use them to listen
to the stereo given the sound quality, but it is quite decent for TV sound.
Admittedly, I have them connected to a TV with only mono output and have not
tried them with a better source, so "your mileage may vary". The headset runs
on a single AAA battery and I have not had to replace it yet after several
hours of use. Just don't forget to turn them off (with the built-in on/off
switch) when you're not using them.

I purchased these headphones as a cheap solution for hearing the tv while using a loud treadmill fan. The headphones work well.

The headphones do not exactly fit my big head but it's good enough. I wear them as much as 45 minutes at a time without issue. Note that these are infra red headphones so you need a clear line of sight between the headphones and the transmitter. At least when u do lose the signal, you dont get the loud static noise in your ear.
