 Should ship without the headphones January 4, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
The transmitter / receiver work great. My wife wanted something she could wear while exercising, and the "normal" wireless headphones were too big, too bulky, and too heavy for that. This was one of the few products we could find that would transmit sound to a normal set of headphones / earbuds.
As for the headphones that were shipped with the unit, as soon as I tried them on, my comment was "What in the _____ was Koss thinking when they designed this POS?" A speaker from Radio Shack and a clothes pin would be more comfortable.
But I didn't buy it for the headphones anyway, so I gave it 4 stars. Ship it without the headphones and cut the price by $5, and it would be a 5 star product.
 Terrible reception January 11, 2007

One headset barely works - it has a lot of static on it & one doesn't work at all. They are cheaply made & not worth the price at all. My kids were very disappointed with them on Christmas day.
Attempted to return item... March 8, 2007

After receiving the item, I came to the realization that it was not what I wanted and I have been trying to return this item ever since. After calling the company to return it, I was told that I had to send an e-mail in order to get a return code. So, I followed the company's rules and sent an e-mail requesting a return code. That was about three weeks ago and I haven't heard or received anything from them.
I am still in possession of the item and wish to return it for a refund, however; I've not had any luck getting a response from this company. I'm quite certain I won't buy anything from them in the future.
 "Wireless" - Well, technically, yes. July 22, 2007

I have a severe hearing problem and I use special "ear hooks", rather than headphones, that work with my hearing aids. I used to have a wireless setup that replaced the headphones with a receiver that you plugged your own headphones into. This worked great - I could even go outside my house and still get reception because these used a Radio Frequency (RF) signal. Unfortunately, and after many years, they bit the dust.
I did a lot of searching and finally found the Koss HB60. In my excitement at finding a replacement, I didn't think about the fact that these used an Infra-Red (IR) signal. The difference is frustrating.
When they say that IR is line-of-site, they ain't kidding. Wander too much to the right or left, go behind a door, turn your back on the transmitter, or slip the receiver into a pocket and you can kiss the signal goodbye - even standing within the tiny range (20-30ft.) of the receiver.
You might as well be connected with a wire, after all.
I know that this all is just the way it is with IR, and I suppose they work as they should within the confines set by IR.
My suggestion: stick with RF, if you can. I'm still searching for that perfect replacement.
Good product January 14, 2008
Good product for its intended use. Which is a wireless headset for the room you are in. Infared signal is fairly narrow, think TV remote.
