With RCA Wireless 900 MHz Headphones, you don't even have to be in the same room with your stereo.
With RCA Wireless 900 MHz Headphones, you don't even have to be in the same room with your stereo. The 900 MHz signal can pass through walls, floors, and carry outside of your home up to 150 ft. That means you have the freedom to work or relax wherever you wish without the problem of being connected to cords or carrying around a portable system. The lightweight design and adjustable headband make the fit so comfortable that you will hardly notice you have them on, as you move freely about your home. Also, the unique compact base serves as both a charger and a stand.

Price Paid:
$39.00
from Ebay Summary:
I purchased this unit to replace a unit to listen to TV. I had a recoton W500 that was excellent, but just wore out. The RCA WNP 160 has been a total disapointment. Poor sound, very uncomfortable,wont hold tuning,and the headband broke the first week. I am going to buy a good unit(other than RCA) and throw this piece of junk in the trash. Strengths:
The base will charge the batteries Weaknesses:
sound, comfort, design, structural integrity, tuning, Similar Products Used:
Recoton W500

Review 2 of 10
Price Paid:
$70.00
from Radio Shack Summary:
Overall sound quality was good, but I experienced the same problems with hiss and fades as reported by others. I have, however, come up with a fairly simple modification to noticeably improve on these weaknesses. Remove the padded earcushion on the left headphone cup by carefully pulling it loose by the outer edges. Then remove the three phillips head screws (marked by black arrows) and lift out the transducer. You'll see a 4" black wire glued to the inside edge of the cup (one end soldered to the PC board). This is the receive antenna. Carefully unsolder it from the PC board and replace it with an 8" piece of similar solid conductor insulated wire. Position the new antenna wire along the inside edge of the earphone cup and secure in place with glue or tape as needed. Re-assemble the left earphone in reverse order of dis-assembly. This mod made a very noticeable performance improvement in my phones. Strengths:
Good audio frequency response and channel seperation. Weaknesses:
Hissing, signal drop outs, short range (prior to mod as above).

Review 3 of 10
Price Paid:

from Radio Shack Summary:
Hiss is unbearable Strengths:
Volume control is easy to access Weaknesses:
Sound is basically overridden by the hiss. Hiss is as loud as any music played on these headphones - very disapointing.

Review 5 of 10
Price Paid:
$99.00
from Best Buy Summary:
I've been looking for a good set of wireless headphones, and after buying these, my search continues. My first set of wireless headphones was returned to the store because the signal would constantly drop, even if I was right next to the base. The RCA 160T doesn't have this problem, but range is an issue. After moving about 10 feet away from the base, I noticed some slight fade-out and moving any further resulted in dead zones with no signal at all. Not worth the $100 I paid. I'll be returning them soon. Strengths:
semi-comfortable, works well if you stay near the base (why not get a corded set instead?), auto-tuning mechanism Weaknesses:
signal drop at about 15 feet, advertised range is nowhere near what it actually is Similar Products Used:
Acoustic Research AW791 - these sucked too, worse than the 160T
