Poor fit on the ears, very uncomfortable to wear. The wireless "neat" effect fades after a while once your ears are hurting so bad from being pinched. Not a good product. Not fun to wear. Not good period. Listen to the reviews on this site or you'll make the same mistake I did.

I read the previous mixed reviews here and was somewhat concerned about getting these ... but I always wanted wireless headphones so I gave them a try. Let me address some of the issues that have been raised:

1) Head size: my head size is 23" in diameter, which is a large or 7 1/4 hat size. The headsets come with 2 types (hard plastic and bendable rubber) of fittings and the fittings come in 4 sizes. I used the largest, bendable rubber one and it's loose on me ... but I like it like that.

2) Sound quality: it sounds great to me. I have iTunes on my laptop at work and when I need to zone out the other office noises, I put these on and can get a couple hrs of focussed work done ... my ears don't hurt after that. I have also walked away to get print jobs ... 25 feet away and the reception is the same ... no background noise, no hissing, no skipping, etc. Another bonus is the volume control buttons ... 10 settings ... and it definitely gets loud enough to be too loud for me.

I have also used these on flights to watch DVDs ... again, my ears were okay after watching a movie. Also, they're great for inflight movies because you can walk away from your seat (to stretch out or go to the bathroom) and still hear what's going on in the movie.

Overall, I'm very pleased with these headphones and highly recommend them.

Besides the drawbacks mentioned in other reviews, it also has quite a bit of latency. If just listening to music, it wouldn't matter. I wanted to use it with my guitar, plugging it into the processing unit. The problem is that there is a second or two delay between playing a note and hearing it in this wireless headphone. Also, the charging lights didn't work at all.

These are great for road trips, T.V., and other stuff. whaen i was getting them i wanted to know how big the transmitter is. it's small. it comes with a plastic thing so the transmitter dosen't hang; wich is the only time when the quality is not so good. it also comes with a elastick/velcro band to keep it from hanging. the charger has a V spliter so you can charg the headphones & the transmitter at the same time. this all fits in a carrying pack that comes with it. at full charg it lasts the same as my ipod. the ears are not to big. Im a kid and they fit me. theses are aswome

I have purchased Saitek devices before, and have been happy with the product/price. However, these headphones fall far short. First off, unless you have a small head, I don't see how they can fit a person properly (I'm a hat size 7 3/8, large, I know, but there are bigger). Even with the longest band, they pulled uncomfortably. The actual earpiece/over the ear loop isn't very flexible either. Then, the range (advertised at 10 METERS) is way overestimated. I could only get to about 8 FEET with constant sound. At 10 FEET, I got drop outs. The sound itself wasn't bad, although at soft moments, you could hear a slight hiss. Overall, if I could give this thing ZERO stars, I would. These are on their way back!

I've purchased 4 other wireless headsets (headphones), but none of them seemed adaquate. These are very good looking as well as lightweight & the sound quality is very good. There are volume controls built in on the headset. Included in the package are bands of different length to custom fit to your needs. These also can be used (with an included adapter line) as a wired headset. So far, I've used these with my iRiver mp3 player, my portable DVD player & a personal media player & have been pleased with the results. The Saitek A350 have exceeded all my expectations. These are well worth the money.

Firstly, it works great for me. No problems in operating at all. My only issue is that I can't pair it with my laptop or phone. Both are bluetooth but this product only pairs with its own dongle. Besides that its great.

Something I figured out, if you find it uncomfortable on your head figure out if its pulling on your ears because you have the large adapter on. The smaller adapters keep this thing horizontal. The larger adapters allow it to angle making it uncomfortable. I have a big head but the smaller one makes it easier to wear cuz it holds it up. That's my 2 cents.

Loved these for two months up until they stopped working. The quality is good but the workmanship is poor.

sound quality: not bad
wireless: SUCKS

i bought it for the wireless, but it keeps skipping and the receiver's only in my pocket...

now, most of the time, i'm on wired...WHICH MADE THE WIRELESS POINTLESS. for the price i bought the headphones, i could have gotten some decent WIRED headphones instead...

They just feel too weird to use for more than 5 minutes. A total waste.
