- I bought these to replace a pair of Sennheiser RS 140 Wireless HiFi Headphones, that had snapped in two, and I couldn't get a replacement, even though they had a 2-year Warranty,
thorough Sennheiser. I bought this pair of Acoustic Research AWD205 Wireless Stereo Headphones, in Black, as a "replacement" set, so here is my take on these headphones.
BTW, I have to note that I thoroughly researched the Wireless Headphones for TV use, and I didn't find any really sets that had a Excellent or Superior Rating, although I do wish that some manufacturer would produce a self-reliant BlueTooth Version that could just be Plug-N-Play, for any TV's with a USB connector.
My Pro's on the AWD205 Wireless Stereo Headphones - For TV Use Only.
* Sound - Very Good, when fully charged.
* Smaller in Size & more streamlined than the Sennheiser RS 140's, which were more bulkier. Won't Notice this until you lay down.
* 3-inch, Open-Air type Stereo Ear phones, with...Read more

I bought two of these from Electronic Express through Amazon.com. Both were delivered in good shape and at first everything looked and sounded great. But both of these units had defects in that they would not recharge properly when connected to the transmitter / charger. When the batteries had power, the sound was absolutely fantastic, but they were not of much good if they don't recharge properly. I also was upset about the return, i.e., they did give me my purchase price back, but I had to pay the return shipping for not one but two defective products. All worked out well, however, thanks to Amazon.com, they gave me credit for the return shipping and applied it against my subsequent purchase of a 2 pair of Sony Wireless Headphones. I have had a number of problems with Audiovox recently, so they are not in my buy list anymore. One other thing. The transmitter / charger is so light, it is difficult to not turn it over when plugging in the headphones.

I bought these to use with an electronic drum set so I no longer hit the cord with my sticks. This seemed like a reasonable buy and I do have to say that the sound was pretty good. The bass was what you expect for an over the ear headphone if not a bit better. The mids and highs were quite good. However, the headphones are very plastic-y and feel rather flimsy. The base is also lightweight with cheap cords. When I received the headphones, one earpiece would episodically hiss and then stop. No known triggers for this and it would not resolve with multiple changes of the battery, checking all connections, etc. I will assume this is just a defective pair. The kicker on all this is the 0.5-1.0 second delay between hitting the drum pad and the sound reaching my ear. As a drummer, this is deadly. While this may not make much of a difference for music, this may make a difference for movies or games where the synchonization does not look quite right. Returned them and bought the Sennheiser...Read more
