Belkin TuneCast Mobile FM Transmitter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Belkin Tunecast is basically a small radio transmitter that plugs into the headphone jack of your iPod. The Tunecast transmits the music from your iPod to one of four selectable frequencies, which you can then listen to by simply tuning your home or car stereo to said frequency.
The most obvious advantage of this little device is the ability to use it anywhere there's a radio. Say you wanted to play your songs on your friend's stereo, or in your friend's car, or on a boombox at the beach: it's practically effortless with the Tunecast. And it's cheap, to boot.
Of course, what you gain in ease of use compared to, say, a direct line into your home or car stereo, you lose in sound quality. The sound is basically FM radio-quailty, with a noticible hiss in the background. Now, it's still more than listenable, and most of the time the music drowns out the hiss, but audiophiles in search of crystal-clear sound quality should look elsewhere (although they probably already know that).
Overall, I would recommend it simply because of its low price and versatility.

Pyle PHPW2 Hi-Fi Wireless FM Headphones (Super Bass, Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)These wireless headsets from Pyle are mainly used in our home for watching and hearing sound from movies. These are not the best in sound quality but fairly priced. Other features with these headsets like listening to the FM radio isn't as convenient since there's no way to see the station that's tuned in, or a quick way to tune to a favorite station. Instead, I manually push the scan button until the right station I want is being received. When the headset is turned off, then turned back on, the headset forgets the presets so I would need to do it again. So, I don't use it to listen to FM; it's only for emergencies.
Newer wireless FM transmitting base stations and FM receiving headsets have more standard features like built in microphone and ability to use DC power instead of AAA batteries. In my opinion, the built in microphone is a nice to have but it probably isn't a reliable way to monitor for baby cries or for the elderly. The FM transmitting tower is weak, unable to go through walls reliably (900 MHz or higher like the frequencies wireless phones use would penetrate walls reliably). Also, the transmitting stations do not encrypt the wireless FM output signals so the entire neighborhood or the apartment complex could hear your conversations if you left the device on by accident. I prefer to leave this feature/option out of my transmitting station.
If you must have a wireless microphone (to transmit speech via wireless FM frequency), then buy a quality microphone separately (small microphones for computers would work). You could connect the microphone to the Audio Input in the back of the transmitting tower to broadcast the speech/sound.
The DC adapter/capability feature for the newer models are a good feature to have to avoid consuming batteries, but audio quality is poor due to the DC signal noise (occasional crackle sounds and pops will be transmitted from the transmitter to the headsets when a large appliance in the house comes on to draw power). Personally, a battery powered transmitting station is the optimal method and results in higher quality/cleaner signals (the only power source for this Pyle model is two AAA batteries). Transmitting station and signal reception for the wireless headsets are reliable when there's no physical obstructions or barriers.
Power consumption is minimal, but I must remind myself to turn off both the transmitting station and headsets when not in use. I use rechargeable batteries and I never worry about running out of batteries or power for the transmitting station.
These are mono headsets when they operate in wireless FM frequency mode, but if plugged directly into the source with an adapter (purchase separately), they become stereo headsets. If you're looking for higher quality wireless headsets, you may want to get binaural wireless headsets which provide sound that's better than surround sound stereo, but could cost significantly more due to the newer technology behind it.

JVC HAW600RF 900 MHz Wireless Stereo Headphones Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought these JVC headphones as I have a hearing loss and I always get complaints about the TV being too loud. I bought JVC because I have a JVC sound processor. My impression of the headphones is that they are not a well-designed unit.
I have experienced two main problems with this headphone/transmitter set. First, the positioning of the headset in the charger/transmitter has to be perfect or the headset will not charge. And it is very problematic to position the headphones in the charger in exactly the correct manner. If the headset is not perfectly placed, it will not charge the batteries. Therefore, intelligent user-friendly engineering of the charge/headset combo is really lacking. Secondly, the transmitter on my unit will suddenly go off and transmit loud static! That will wake you up real quick! The sound may stop transmitting for up to a minute or more, and then it will come back on. The problem became more frequent so I finally stopped using the headset entirely. JVC has the WORST customer service center in the entire civilized world, (I have tried to get other JVC items serviced and have had nothing but trouble with them), so I junked the unit. I bought a Sony headset and so far it works great.
My advice is to avoid this JVC product.
