Summary: Piece of Junk (@!!!*&$) 2008-12-27
Comment: Don't buy this junk. It works when it wants to. If you have a low sound coming to the headphones then it will automatically turn off even when you have the switch turned on. It's rather unfortunate that the quality of RCA products has deteriorated into junk status.

Summary: Doesn't work as advertised 2007-05-13
Comment: sound cuts in and out frequently and as close as 10 feet away from base. I recommend getting the Sharper Image Wireless headphones.

Summary: Exasperating 2006-09-26
Comment: Sound quality is good -- when they work. Since they work via radio waves, they still work when you go to the bathroom, if the bathroom is within range. That's the end of the positives on these headphones.
Reception from even from just 7 feet away can be spotty, and they tend to cut in and out. Some times there's hissing.
These are especially bad for use with video, as opposed to listening to music. The base that comes with the headset houses the transmitter, and a green LED on the front indicates when it's transmitting. When there's no signal, the base turns the transmitter off. So, when watching a video, if there's a quiet passage, after a delay the transmitter will turn off, and there will be a loud hissing in the headset. When the sound in the video comes up again, there will be a slight delay before the transmitter comes back on, and some dialogue is missed, so you have to hit the "back" button on the DVD remote if you want to recover the lost dialoge.
These headsets are fairly comfortable for the first half hour, but they rest right on your ears, so after a while they become uncomfortable, even painful.
For most people I would recommend infrared cordless headsets over 900MHz Wireless. That's what I will replace these with.

Summary: Absolute JUNK 2006-01-21
Comment: Do NOT buy these headphones. If you do, you WILL regret it.
These RCA 900MHz Wireless Headphones (WHP160T) wireless headphones DO NOT work well at all. I have to be INCHES away from the antenna to get any signal at all (and it cuts in and out even then), there's hissing, and the sound quality under the hissing is very poor.
These headphones had one good customer review on amazon which stated that hissing, and signal cutting in and out problems (which MANY of the other reviews complained about) were resolved with some WD-40 as a contact cleaner on the potentiometer that tweaks the 900 MHz broadcast frequency. It was on the basis of this review that I bought these things. I am now convinced that that review was fiction.
The problem with these things is that "Thompson Consumer Electronics" or "RCA" or whoever manufactures these headphones has simply put a piece of JUNK out onto the market.
The "original packaging" has been pretty much destroyed because it is, in fact, impossible to get into the package without destroying the packaging. Many products are packaged that way these days, so Beach Audio's "original packaging" requirement for returns is really pretty ludicrous. I complained to Beach Audio about this product, and they did NOT respond to my e-mail.

Summary: Headphones that are durable! 2006-01-02
Comment: I've gone through many set of headphones of the years. These have stood the test of time for me. I've dropped them hard to the ground so many times on accident that it's not even funny. They work without a hitch. I'm happy enough with the range of 30 feet, I just like them for being able to walk around from place to place (drawing table to computer back to drawing table to the living room to the bathroom) I'm pretty antsy and pace an awful lot so to me these are a godsend. The range would probably be even better except the double thick fireproof sheetrock our walls are made out of causes it to lose signal a bit when you hop to a different room. It has an autosearch button on the headphones though so it's easy to pick back up the signal if they don't grab it automatically for you. It's not a big deal to me. I got these on a clearance sale for an embarrasingly low price and have been happy as hell with them. I've I'd know how nice they'd be I would have gotten them for gifts for people.
