Sentry HO802 Wireless Headphones - 2 Pack

 (149 customer reviews)

I bought this item around 1 month ago and for the most part, it's a decent purchase. The main use is for my wife and myself to watch TV at night when the child is asleep (room is adjacent to ours). This lets us watch at a reasonable volume without disturbing the child. For this purpose, the set overall works well but does have a few issues.

1) Product has a pretty good fit over the ears but I do get fatigue after around 45 min. of use.
2) The buttons/battery chamber seem flimsily made. I can see losing that battery cover as it seems that it's barely fastened on.
3) Interference. I sit around 8 feet from the transmitter and get occassional buzzing. Usually moving the angle of the headphones on my head or the level of my head (from laying to sitting in bed) will fix it...but it can be a bit annoying.

Sentry Full-Size Wireless Headphones 2 pk. - HO-802 These 2 pair are fantastic at a great price. Bought these for the frequency response 20 to 20, lowest and highest end of hearing media range recognition. Have older ones that needed replacing. Have tried other very expensive ones with higher transmitting frequencies and had too much static and poor results as in not receiving at all. That's what you get in a high volume area (Lots of people with gadgets with similar frequencies). These use lower frequencies like my old ones that never give me any problems. The big BASS is there with these unlike my old ones. I can move around all of my place with no signal loss, perfect reception. *** Did I mention that these are so comfortable, not too loose or too tight.

I now have purchased 5 of these (1 for living room, 1 for porch, 1 for vacation house, 2 for my daughter). I've tried varous brands, and settled on these.

The sounds quality is excellent. Setup is just a matter of plugging the transmitter into a wall socket, and the jacks into the back of the TV. The headsets needs 2 AAA batteries. That takes 5 minutes and you're up and running.

You can use it with the TV set normally (if you don't hear as well as others), or with the TV muted (if others are doing something else and don't want to hear it).

Pluses:
- Very good sound quality
- Sound quality is better than TV or speakers -- and good for hearing speech or music
- No static
- Comfortable over-ears style
- Headsets can be used two rooms away
- 2 headsets (good if you have 2 people)

- Can pick up other transmitters

Minuses:
- Would prefer...Read more
