Summary:
Living in an apartment I have lots of extraneous noise I can't control, and can't crank up the speakers. After poor experiences years ago with wireless headphones, my interest and wallet were ready for another round. The new amphony digitals seemed a possible answer; relatively expensive (had to be good, right?) and different technology. The phones are lightweight and comfortable although my ears were sweating within minutes. Construction was a bit too much plastic for phones of this price. The battery doors in each ear piece are hard to open and rotate on plastic hinges. I could see them breaking within weeks but I didn't keep these phones long enough to find out. Plugged them all in for the moment of truth....and yes they worked ..... as long as I was within 10 feet of the transmitter. Sound quality was OK, about the same as a $30-50 pair of wired phones. Sound was muddy and compressed. The major problem though was interference and drop out. If I moved more than 12-15 feet away from the transmitter, even with direct line of sight, crackles, loud pops, and signal drop out would quickly develop. These aren't occasional. They occur about every 10-15 seconds. Moving the transmitter, changing input signals, adjusting output strengths had no effect. If you try to move outside of line of sight, expect near-continuous crackling within 15-20 feet. Conclusion: Speakers are better than phones and wired phones are infinitely better than wireless. Yep, I had to learn this again. System: NAD C370 IAmp Rotel ACD 1070 CD player

Strengths:
Lightweight, comfortable (though hot)

Weaknesses:
Lots of plastic with potentially weak construction points; Fair to poor sound quality; High sensitivity to interference and other sources of noise and drop-out
