Product Description
Enjoy a theater-like acoustic environment through a pair of AW791 Wireless Surround Sound headphones. AR's Surround Sound Wireless headphones incorporate a Dolby Digital processor and Surround Sound headphone technology to create an acoustic environment that is virtually identical to that of a movie theater or a live musical performance. AR's new, patented 900MHz technology achieves a greater that 70dB signal-to-noise ratio, allowing the headphones to deliver an ultra-quiet performance. This "silence" is essential in conveying the full impact of movie soundtracks - including subtle background effects - that can be presented with the most accurate imaging and realism.Designed for the ultimate in extended-wear comfort, these headphones feature angled, swiveling ear cups and self-adjusting headband to achieve the best possible fit. Oversized ear pads gently cushion the outer ears for the continuous wearing ease that is essential when watching a long movie.

Summary: OK but just OK 2008-09-01
Comment: Have owned these for a year now. I would not recommend them. I have these at home for my PC. Everything seems to add interference. Its tollable but thats not the best thing to say about headphones. Some days just turning your head a few inchs when I am a feet from the unit is enough for them to loose signal. I don't bother to charge them on the stand, I rotate batteries between a charger and the headphones. At work I have had 2 pairs of sennheiser headphones. In 2004 I bought the RS-40. They worked great but I broke them by standing on them. Now I have refurbished RS130s that work excellently, and they run in rechargable AAA's! Neither Senn's really have the "surround sound" but I can't tell the difference to be honest. The surround sound on these is not that decernable. I think reception quality trumps surround dound in the end. I would get the RS130s

Summary: I agree-pure junk! 2008-08-01
Comment: I thought I bought a great purchase with these! No. JUNK-pure 'n simple! I think they put them on sale to get rid of them! You're watching a great surround sound movie or whatever and then,,,,,,PSSSSSSSSSST PHHHHHHHHHHHHT! Static and like a Motorola Razor-it drops your sound on you while you're listening! You have to move your head this way and that-get up and change the settings 2 or 3 or more times to get it right, stand on your head, turn around 3 or 4 times, and then turn around 3 or 4 more times the other way to get your sound back, oh, yes I forgot, say Hale Mary, Grace about 5 or 15 times to get the sound to come back! I'm thinking about taking these as a trap-shooting target with me sometime! Let's see, other nouns-CRAP, oh, one more thing, I believe it would make a great boat anchor!

Summary: Good sounds; but not for far! 2007-09-26
Comment: Transmission great close to transmitter, but static increases and reception decreases with increased distance from transmitter. I had hoped for better reception as I moved to and from other household rooms.

Summary: Sounds different from previous modes 2007-07-04
Comment: I have 3 wireless headsets. Two are the 771 model and one is the 791. The 791 is different when it comes to sound. The highs are somewhat amplified which is not very comfortable for me. I like much better the 771 model just because of the highs.

Summary: AW791 Wireless Headphones 2007-01-14
Comment: This is my second purchase of the same product. It works very well, especially good for the hard of hearing. I had to replace the first one because a small plastic part in the headphones broke, so I couldn't wear them. Too bad because the product was functioning very well. Can't understand why they had to use such a poor part in such a great product. Despite this problem, I still would recommend the product.
