This review is from: Acoustic Research AW721 900 MHz Wireless Stereo Headphones (Electronics)
Pros: Good overall sound quality and volume. Light weight. Use AAA-format batteries (comes with rechargable li-ion). Easy to place on charging stand. Easy tuning to transmitter. Reasonably priced. On-off switch on headphones. Surprisingly comfortable for long periods. Pretty good line-of-sight range. Transmitter power control. Around-the-ear foam cups block most external sounds from user (and headphone sounds from others).
Cons: Non-adjustable headband (auto-adjust strap mostly works). Some static when you move around. Picks up older (CRT) TV whine if transmitter is close to TV. 900 MHz phones and NEXTEL cell phones interfere with signal. Bass is somewhat boomy and treble is flat, but adequate for TV, most music--needs to be equalized for classical, piano. Slight whooshing noise (compander?) after transition from loud to soft passages. Works poorly when moving behind walls, but OK when still.

... the best choice for wireless headphones if you don't have too much to spend. I tried Sony (barely okay) and RCA (completely sucked), and none of them came close to what this pair can do.

Acoustic Research AW721 Way Better Than the AW771/772,

As a hearing impaired person, the Acoustic Research AW721 is a wonderful product! Recently, however, they blew a speaker and I had to return them to Best Buy. Unfortunately, they no longer carry this product. Instead, they provided me with the AW772 which was $20 more and had the automatic tuning feature. I thought this would be a great feature. The negatives were that the new product only goes 150 feet and as a result of the automatic tuning feature, the signal would be searching at the most inappropriate times (like when you needed to hear what line the actor was saying on your favorite show). Also, the newer version did not increase the volume loud enough.
As a result, I am returning this upgraded product to Best Buy and purchasing the Acoustic Research AW721 from Amazon.
The Pros of the Acoustic Research AW721 are:
1. Loud enough for hearing impaired people to use without hearing aids
2. Can hear the sound all the way outside...Read more
