Price Paid:  $95.00 from ebay

Summary:
This product is superb. While the sound quality is not as good as you'll get from the most high-end corded headphones, it is as good or better than most mid-grade corded sets, and certainly anything I've heard in the same price range. But they're cordless. Light, comfortable. These are the first headphones (corded or otherwise) I've been able to wear for an extended period and be able to say they are VERY COMFORTABLE. Look at the specs; excellent. I am able to listen anywhere within my house or around it. Even in the back bedroom, which is through a thick brick wall and several thinner sheetrock walls (through the brick wall, you get a mild popping sound when you touch the earcups with your hands, presumably blocking the signal -- but this occurs only if your hands are on the headset; not a problem at all for me). I would not consider any other cordless headset. Looked at reviews of all the alternatives; clearly people were unhappy with them. This company also makes a wireless speaker setup. I cannot say enough good things about this product, and for the money nothing else touches it. If I have to muster a complaint it would be that I could envision the earcups breaking off if the product were misused even mildly. This should not be a problem with reasonable care, but if you sat down on them or stepped on them, they could be history. Also, you can't expect to use this product if you have a 2.4GHz network operating in your house -- you're going to get noise. Luckily, ours is never used anyway (we have Cat5 cable everywhere) and we just turned it off. But if you require a 2.4GHz network, I doubt you're going to be able to use these with it. I'm sure users of the highest end corded phones would not find the sound quality to be adequate. But for the advantage of cordless use, the trade off is totally worth it to me.

Strengths:
Excellent sound quality; cordless; lightweight and easy to use; affordable price.

Weaknesses:
Can't use 2.4GHz network around them, construction is not "flimsy", but could be better where earcups attach to frame.

Similar Products Used:
Various over the years, but never cordless before.

Moscode 402Au OLT stereo power amplifier Review

George is adamant about the fact that the Moscode 402Au is not just a tube gain stage slapped onto a solid-state power amplifier; rather, it is a tube amplifier with a MOSFET output stage.

Lowther’s DX-65 driver in the Teresonic Magus XR Review

A new driver from Lowther is real news. A new five inch driver is even rarer news, so it was with great anticipation that I waited on this pair of speakers to arrive.

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.
