The other reviews left me asking questions, so here are the answers to the ones I had. Out of the box you get the earphones and stand, batteries, digital optical cord, and power source. No RCA audio cord included, a big miss for Panasonic in my opinion. Add a 90 cent cord for heavens sake. To get started fast, I put two AA alkalines in the headphone (very simple), hooked power to the stand, and used my own RCA audio cord (analog, red and white pins on each end) to connect audio out from my TV to the audio in in the back of the headphone stand. On the stand front, I slid the little bar over from digital to analog, and on the back I slid the tiny ATT bar from the 8 to the 0. I then turned on the TV and set the sound to low to middle, and put on the earphones. They worked almost instantly, and the sound was very good. Using the sound up and down device on the right earphone, I was able to adjust the sound just the way I like it; kind of loud, knowing that my wife could hear the TV the way she likes it. Of course, you can mute the TV and still hear the sound in the headphones. I tried various kinds of shows, and some I had TIVO'D, and all were very good. I then put in the NI CAD battery included, and put the headphones on the stand to charge. When charging, a red light comes on on the stand. That night, my wife and I watched "3:10 to Yuma", I with my headphones, now completely charged. I could hear every word and nuance, and was surprised when I went into the kitchen to get a snack, I could still hear the TV with no drop off. The cons for me are not much. The headphones, like all, are a little bit like wearing ear muffs. They do get a little warm watching a two hour movie, but this is a minor complaint. Also, Panasonic must have a few million RCA audio cords hanging around their warehouse, and should have included one. Otherwise, these are very good headphones for wireless.

4.0 out of 5 stars Much better than the competition, May 8, 2008

I used to have Sony MDR-DS3000 but I could not stand the hiss! I bought these headphones after some claimed that there are no background hisses. Unfortunately there are slight hiss in the background when watching TV programming with mostly dialogues. otherwishe the hiss is unnoticeable. I love how the RF transmission allows me to walk around the house while listening to tv unlike the Infrared ones like Sony where you are limited to 90 degree angle in front of the base unit. The connectivity is very good with two toslink inputs, one RCA input, and one toslink output. I have my PS3, cable box, and the dvd player hooked up and its very convenient. I'm not much of audiophile, but as far as I ( an average joe who wants a surround sound for gaming/movies and doesn't want to wake up the neighbor in process) these headphones have great sound. I highly recommend it over any other wireless headphones with surround sound decoder.

Wow, I have now been using these headphones for a month. I use them to watch movies on my computer and they just work Sound quality isn't perfect but for my 'untrained' ear it is excellent. They also just work, plugged them in and off i went everything just worked. Love that I can plugin multipe sources. For the cost these headphones are about as good as you can expect. If I had one complaint I think it would be that after long listening times they and bother your ears.
