These wireless headphones sound great. I have tried a couple of different 900MHz headphones and was very dissapointed in the static I would hear on them all of the time. I discovered these when looking for a pair of digital ones on the internet. These sound great and work throughout my entire house. They would get 5 stars except for a couple of minor needed improvements:
1. There is an occational clicking sound when walking around. If you are not moving, you don't hear any clicking. It isn't a big deal and doesn't distract from the music or TV.
2. The headphones are a bit tight on my head, and I think I have a normal size head.
3. The battery compartments are a little hard to open.
4. It is really hard to find a dealer that sells them.
Other than that, they are great. They have normal stereo RCA connections, but also have an optical digital connection if your receiver has optical out.
So, don't waste time with 900MHz, get these instead.

I got these for Christmas and have been using them quite a bit with both my laptop and Windows Mobile smartphone and it handles switching between the two devices with 0 issue. My biggest gripe is the lower volume (and therefore lower bass) available with these earbuds when compared to their wired equivalent model, but they're excellent at dampening out the sounds around you.
The cord can become a pain at times if I don't have a good place to clip them to while I'm biking but is overcome easily enough. They'd be perfect with more volume and a few inches more slack on the cord.

Motorola S805 Bluetooth 2.0 (DJ Style) Stereo Headphones Review

Motorola S805 Bluetooth 2.0 (DJ Style) Stereo Headphones
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Overall: This product works great. I'm quite satisfied with the quality and performance. The sound quality is high.
Pros:
-I'm very satisfied with battery life. I left it on (accidentally) for 2 days on standy and I still got several hours of use out of them without a recharge.
-The sound quality is excellent.
-The noise-canceling is excellent to the point where my wife hates me having them on because I can't hear her (that could be either a pro OR con depending on how you look at it).
-Call quality is great -- both on the headphone and microphone side. People on the other end have no problems hearing me.
-If I'm listening to music via the analog jack from my sound card, and I get a call on my cell phone, the headset automatically switches over when I answer the call, and automatically switches back to the music when the call is over.
Cons:
-I have a slightly bigger head that some people I suppose, and these headphones feel tight to me. Because of this, my ears begin to get sore after about an hour of use.
-The supplied audio cable is only 2-3 feet long
-There is no analog microphone jack to use this set with non-bluetooth devices like my desktop computer. This is remedied by a cheap usb BT adapter, but would have been an easy feature for Motorola to implement.
-Battery takes about 4 hours to charge fully, and is not charged on purchase. If you buy these, be willing to wait for 4 hours once you unbox them to try them out
-Headphones are not operable during recharging

I have purchased two of these, and I feel like an idiot. I was told that the new version is supposed to work. BS. I did my homework, checked for compatibility and bought this and a stereo bluetooth device. Both were Bluetooth v1.2, A2DP, and 0000 or 1234 passcode compatible. Neither have worked. I have even tacked down friends with compatible bluetooth devices with no success. I give this 1 stars (because I can't choose 0). Good luck with the companies tech support = voicemail. No reviews = bad product (usually).

This is a good price and the concept is well thought out. The execution is lacking in one huge way.
First of all, it is a great idea to have the bluetooth audio broadcaster be able to plug into ANY audio jack. Very universal and works with any audio device where you can plug headphones.
The bluetooth receiver is a decently small size and any headphones - in my case my iPod earbuds, plug nicely. I used it today running on the treadmill and the volume was excruciatingly low even when turned all the way up. I could not hear most of the audio while running in the gym.
This totally defeats the purpose. You cannot increase the audio to be able to hear dialogue/lyrics. To get an idea of how low the sound is... the maximum volume the bluetooth receiver is capable of receiving is just slightly above 1/2 the max volume on the iPhone 3G.
(Note: my iPhone was on MAX volume output and was only broadcasting at about the 1/2 max level.)

Philips Bluetooth Stereo Headset Combo Review

Philips Bluetooth Stereo Headset Combo
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The vox340 is a Bluetooth stereo headset with mic that also includes a separate blue tooth transmitter adapter with a 3.5mm plug that plugs into any headphone jack.
It works great as Bluetooth stereo headphones and beats all the FM and 900MHz headphones I have tried over the years. The range is about 25ft when going through the walls where I live. Since stereo operation only requires pairing with the included adapter, makes it possible to listen wirelessly to anything with a stereo jack. I have it plugged into my laptop.
When paired with a cellphone, the vox340 solves the problem of being able to listen to stereo without wires and still be able to switch to talking on the phone without changing to another headset (or removing the stereo headphones/ear buds to put a phone to your ear).
The device has a loop that is worn around the neck and the 2 inch pendant has volume control, on/off, and 2 other buttons that have tape deck like forward/rewind markings. Each ear bud branches off the loop a short distance to reach the ears. It comes with a charger; the batteries are not removeable.
I have only been able to get it to work with the adapter as Bluetooth stereo headphones since pairing is tricky with my cellphone and laptop, but I have not given up making it work with a MacBook Pro.
The manuals included were minimal and only in French and Spanish, no English. I had to get translation help to know what the various blinking LED modes mean and how to do Bluetooth pairing.
After searching and translation help, I found out:
* Bluetooth 1.2 device.
* Alternating red-green LED in the adapter means it is in pairing mode.
* Pairing mode is triggered by pressing On and Off buttons simultaneously and holding until it starts to blink.
* When the battery is totally drained, it needs to be paired again.
* Device can act either like stereo headphones or a hands free headset.
An insert into the package lists many cell phones that are compatible. To keep this review succinct, I will try to post more "missing vox340 manual" details elsewhere so others can benefit.

Sony DRBT21G/B Stereo Bluetooth Headset Review

Sony DRBT21G/B Stereo Bluetooth Headset
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The only headphones I've ever trusted are Sony classic Street Style - they're comfortable, affordable, and have great sound quality. When I realized Sony had released this wireless pair, I was all over them.
I had previously tried the Motorola HT820 Bluetooth headphones because I've long been interested in wireless audio, so most of my comparison will be to those.
Design
The Street Style form of these headphones is excellent - I prefer this style compared to over-the-head headphones, and I have a terrible time with earbuds.
The neck band is almost exactly the same as a pair of wired Street Style headphones, with a little less bulk and no rubber "ear rests" that would sit on top of your ear. The band doesn't seem to grip your ears as well as a pair of wired Street Styles, but they are nearly as comfortable.
The "foldable" design is something I could do without. I wouldn't care whether or not they folded, but the stock photo does not show how they redesigned the neck band to accommodate the fold. Instead of being a perfect curve, the neck band comes to a subtle pointed shape where it folds. Less attractive, but it makes no difference while you're wearing them.
Performance
These headphones offer excellent sound quality, but only expect to get this when using the A2DP (advanced audio) Bluetooth profile (this goes for any Bluetooth headphones). This is only available on certain cell phones, with an adapter, or with special software on a computer. In my situation, I set these up with my MacBook Pro's built-in Bluetooth, but I have to use a software workaround to broadcast A2DP in Mac OS Tiger (a Google search will help you find that).
The sound is surprisingly rich and satisfying. I don't think of myself as an audiophile, but if the sound is bad, I can't get into the music - and with these I've had very little trouble focusing on my music.
In order to get a good balance of music and vocals, I did have to adjust the equalization in iTunes (unlike wired headphones, which I normally just plug in and go). With too much low frequency sound (bass) I did find that some music had an occasional popping noise - lowering those levels eliminated that issue and the phones still produce a good amount of bass. The effective frequency range on these is limited but I'm not sure if this is a result of the wireless technology or the speakers. I can't imagine Sony would use lousy speakers in something with an MSRP ten times the amount of a fine pair of their wired headphones.
These headphones hold a very steady connection, within range. The Motos often cut out during simple movements like bending over to pick something up. I can safely exercise and move about a room without these dropping the connection.
The battery life is more than acceptable for my use. I've used them for about 2 hours a day for the past 3 days and haven't had to do a second charge yet.
Bluetooth/Wireless Faults
There are a few issues which I blame on the Bluetooth/wireless technology, as it's just not perfect yet.
There is a very subtle amount of static that can be heard when no music is playing, and sometimes in songs with less background music. This may also vary based on the device you're connecting to. I have tried eliminating interference and the static seems constant. It usually fades into the music while listening.
If you're connected to a stationary object like a computer, don't expect to leave the room with these on. Bluetooth has a very limited range. If you use them with a cell phone or just in a single room, you'll be fine.
I can't use my wireless Mighty Mouse while I'm listening to these. Both operating on Bluetooth, the mouse causes the audio to cut out every few seconds. Not sure about other Bluetooth devices, but expect interference. Wireless router doesn't seem to cause disconnection though.
Summary
My expectations of wireless headphones is very low. These are definitely a step in the right direction though. While the Motorola HT820 may have decent sound quality with A2DP (not tested), the Sony DRBT21G triumphs in comfort due to it's lighter and less bulky design.
If you are able to connect to a device with A2DP and don't mind the caveats of wireless technology, I would recommend these as the best I have found so far. I bought these for about $95 but they're worth the $129.99 retail price. The freedom is worth it!

Koss HB60 Infrared Clip-On Wireless Headphones Review

Koss HB60 Infrared Clip-On Wireless Headphones
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)

The best part of the Koss HB60 is that you can plug any standard headphone jack into the infrared receiver. Thus, with the HB60 you can convert any of the headphones that you already own (and love) to wireless usage.
The worst part about the Koss HB60 is the headphone that it comes with. This thing is designed to be clipped onto your ears, and boy, do they hurt after about 5 minutes! These headphones also have a very strong high frequency boost (which seems to be the standard "Koss sound" - headphones for people with high frequency hearing loss). If you have never listened to Koss headphones, you might think that this hissing sound is due to poor infrared transmission. IMHO, Koss should lower the price of the Koss HB60 and just sell it without this bad headphone.
When I plugged my two Sennheiser headphones (HD545 and HD570) into the Koss HB60, they both sounded great! I can't tell that there is much difference between plugging these headphones directly into the computer/player versus plugging into the Koss HB60. There is very little hissing noise with the Sennheiser headphones plugged in as long as the receiving unit is facing the transmitter directly and located less than about 8 feet away or so. Turn the receiver to face another direction and the hissing increases only slightly, as the receiver picks up the reflected signal off the walls of the room. Step out of the room, or go to a part of the room where the transmitter is not sending any infrared beams, and the signal is completely replaced by static.
The Koss HB60 amplifies the input signal quite a bit, about 4-5 times as loud. This is great if your input signal is fairly weak, such as can happen with some cheap CD players or computers. However, because of this high gain, the amplifier of the Koss HB60 will saturate on the louder pieces of music if you set the input signal strength too high. This will sound like bursts of irregular high frequency static coming through. However, if you set the input signal too low, then there is a slight increase in the hissing sound.So you have to adjust the input signal carefully.
The only really annoying thing about the Koss HB60 is that the belt clip is located directly over the cover for the two AAA batteries. However, the clip is detachable, which, as I only discovered recently, is the real trick to changing batteries on this thing - pull the belt clip off first!
So I took off one star, but otherwise the Koss HB60 is a fine product as long as you understand the inherent limitations of this form of wireless transmission.
I got the Koss HB60 because I wanted to listen to headphones while stringing tennis racquets.I do the stringing in our family computer room, so I can't use the computer speakers most of the time when others are working in the room. The racquet stringing requires some moving around, but mostly I am standing facing in one direction. Thus, I can clip the receiver to the collar of my shirt so that it mostly faces the transmitter. Before, I had plugged the Sennheisers into one of the computers in the same room through an extension cord. This long line was always very messy and easy to step on or get entangled. I ruined at least two of the Sennheiser headphone cords in this fashion by stepping on them and jerking them until they developed an internal break in the wires. Now I can listen to the Sennheisers without worrying about the cord.

RCA WHP140 900 MHz Wireless Headphones
Average Reviews:

I bought these mainly for use with a TV and I have no complaints. The sound quality is good, and the range is throughout my house. I can keep listening to a show if I have to take the dog outside. They are comfortable. I can easily wear them for the duration of a movie. I use rechargeable batteries, and they last over a month with about 2 hours of use per day. I also use them occasionally to listen to music and the quality is almost as good as a corded pair of headphones that I have.
There are two knobs on the right hand side. One is the volume control and the other for tuning. It takes a few days until you learn which is which. After that, you won't fiddle with the tuning when you want to adjust the volume. I have never had any interference and so never needed to adjust the tuning.
These are definitely useful when you want to keep the sound to yourself or roam about while listening to headphones. Also, voices are much easier to understand through headphones than through speakers, especially during a movie. I wouldn't mind using corded headphones except that I don't want to sit close to the TV and I want to be able to walk around occasionally.
The base unit shuts off about a minute after you turn off the source. If I mute the TV during a long set of commercials, the base shuts down and all you hear is noise. This is so that you can shut off the headphones without having to get up to shut off the base. I learned to turn down the volume on the unit instead of using the mute during long commercials.
You can either plug the base into a headphone jack or, with the adapter, into RCA plugs labeled audio out. I don't notice any difference in terms of sound quality between the two.

Motorola MOTOROKR S9 Stereo Bluetooth Headphones (Colors May Vary) Review

Motorola MOTOROKR S9 Stereo Bluetooth Headphones (Colors May Vary)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I had some old cheap Jensen bluetooth headphones that worked great (I am not a Jensen fan. Had issues with regular headphones from them.) Unfortunately my Jensens broke in a recent move so these looked like a good affordable substitute.
Initially they seemed to be a great solution. Unfortunately that was short lived. While listening to music they would suddenly begin to regularly beep without reason over the music. This was annoying and would happen more and more regularly. I would turn them off and start over. After days of this (yes I put up with it for days) I learned that if I pressed the on of button for a second or two that the beeping would go away with out a reboot. Still annoying but I could get by.
About 1 to 2 weeks later on a business trip, the headphones figured it was a good time to be problematic in a whole new way. (I talk about them as an entity because they seemed possessed.) Now when the beeping started, the volume would increase as if the increase button was stuck, even though I had never touched it because the initial volume was always fine for me. Again, pushing the on button seemed to stop the beeping and then I could lower the volume.
Not to be deterred the headphones went for the jugular. One morning the headphones beeped and the volume disappeared. No matter how many times it was recharged, paired, turned on and off, they never produced sound. That was the final straw. Since I was passing a Best Buy (who sells them), I had them look at it. They could not solve the issue. However, they did have the model up. The MotoROKR S9-HD for $99.00 (ouch). I still had 6 days on my trip. I figured I buy them and keep the receipt and return them if they act up.
They have worked perfectly for 2-3 weeks now and sound better the these S9s. Perhaps someone has had better luck with the S9 version, but I say spend the extra and get the S9-HD version. I had nothing but issues with my S9 purchase for the entire time that I have had them. They started to work again, but it is too late. I'm looking into getting my money back.

Stay in tune and connected while strolling down the street with the Motorola Motorokr S9 active Bluetooth headphones. Combining ease of use with the latest Bluetooth wireless technology, the phones are ideal for Bluetooth-enabled cell phone owners or for iPod owners with compatible adapters. The S9 phones are distinguished by a behind-the-head design that weighs just over an ounce, providing the ultimate in comfort whether you're working out or riding mass transit. The phones' ultra-compact 0.51-inch ear buds, meanwhile, fit softly in the ear even during extended use--a must for long conversations or listening sessions. And users will love the innovative touch-sensitive controls on the sides of the headband. The touch controls let you easily adjust the volume, skip or repeat tracks, or answer a phone call while on the move.
The S9 phones make a terrific workout partner thanks to the wireless technology and the water- and sweat-resistant design. Want to listen to your iPod at the gym without getting tangled in wires? Buy an iPod Bluetooth adapter and you're set. Alternatively, you can listen to your mobile phone's music selection during tough workouts, or even music from your home stereo while lifting weights nearby using the DC800 stereo adapter.

Phone-wise, the S9 headphones are built to provide superior call quality, less interference, and faster connections thanks to the Bluetooth 2.0 wireless technology. Class 2 Bluetooth also provides a range of up to 33 feet--enough for a variety of home and portable applications. For optimal outdoor performance, users should position the music device in close proximity to and in the line of sight of the S9's internal antenna, which is located in the base behind the user's head. Placing the music device in a front pocket is not recommended.

Other details include support for up to six hours of music listening or seven hours of talk from a single charge of the 180 mAh lithium-ion battery; a mini USB connector for charging; and a stylish black housing with red highlights. The phones measure 4.9 by 1.8 by 5.1 inches (W x H x D), weigh 1.14 ounces, and are backed by a one-year warranty.

Note: Motorola Bluetooth stereo products (headphones and adapters) are compatible with any brand of Bluetooth-enabled phone or music device that supports Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) and Audio Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP) protocols. In order for Bluetooth devices to communicate with one another, they must utilize the same Bluetooth profile.

Certain Bluetooth features--including those listed--may not be supported by all compatible Bluetooth-enabled devices, and/or the functionality of such features may be limited in certain devices or by certain wireless carriers.

TV Ears 10041 Original System (Black) Review

TV Ears 10041 Original System (Black)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Television shows (especially older ones), too often aren't captioned. This is also true with current DVD releases, even from the big studios: no captions or subtitles. There's a law that requires closed captioning on newly released media, but studios sometimes ignore it. As I'm hearing impaired and rely heavily on closed captioning, this is particularly frustrating.
I have tried several headsets over the years with varying degrees of success. What's unfortunate is that most headsets aren't designed for the hearing impaired. They're designed for people who want to listen to music as they roam around the house. This means that the headsets aren't optimized for voice enhancement, and instead deliver quite a bit of bass. Bass tones don't improve speech comprehension, they lessen it.
That's where TV Ears comes in. Yes, the name is a bit silly, but this headset really works. The first time I used them I had the silliest smile on my face, because for the very first time I understood what was being said *perfectly*. English accents - long a bane of my TV experience, especially as I love British humor - were no longer a problem. The sound quality is magnificent, and the speech enhancement that the product brags about is spot-on. You can adjust the tone of the sound being delivered to your ears, so you can get just the right amount of bass/treble to give you, essentially, a custom-fit headset.
There's an added bonus.
TV Ears says that most theaters use the same technology that they do. I wasn't sure I believed that, so continued to use the (most often) old and sometimes dysfunctional headsets that theaters provide that don't allow for adjusting the tone to improve speech comprehension. Fed up with watching theater employees throw headsets into bins, and at least a 50/50 shot that when the movie started I was going to have to go back and exchange the headset, I tried my TV Ears in the theater. They worked. Instead of simply "booming" the sound, it was just like at home: The headsets enhanced what was being said. Whenever I go to the movies, I "never leave home without" them. They're more reliable than American Express.

After a day of use i decided to return these. This is just a very basic newbie's review, so no flaming.
First off the good then bad,
Pros: very good theater sound (bass...), wireless technology worked on my ipad and computer so i was able to get good audio, has good range (yes it works through walls), smells like leather and good feeling?
Cons: Ear cups don't really cover ears and are hard pressing against skull, which makes them uncomfortable after an hour or less. Transmitter must be connected to a power source , either through usb or wall charger (included), would have been good if they added some type of battery run solution to it. The worst part is that since it's wireless runs on 2.4ghz it interfered with my wifi and with other wireless peripherals (Microsoft mouse 4000). For instance, when i plugged the transmitter into my laptop, my wireless speed dropped from 26mbps to .2mbps. When i use my wireless mouse, I loose internet connection on my laptop. So until their is another solution, I don't see this working.

Sony DRBT22 Wireless Stereo Headset Review

Sony DRBT22 Wireless Stereo Headset
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Works with iPhone 3G/GS with caveats (see update below).
Just bought these along with the TMR-BT8 iPod adapter. Pairing is very easy. While the headphones are off, hold down the power button for 7 seconds or when the pink and blue lights are blinking. The pairing code is 0000.
In addition to my 5th gen iPod, I also paired it with my Razr V3xx and Thinking T61p. No problems at all and the sound is as clear as with my wired headphones. These headphones do not have very much bass but it's much better than average in-the-ear types. The treble range is pretty good and better than average as well. Wireless range is very good, as long as there aren't too many obstacles. I was able to go at least 40 feet away with no cutting out at all. Simply amazing. Other features include controlling devices with the jog dial and volume buttons, which I was able to do with all 3 of my devices. I have not tried making or receiving a call from them yet but I don't perceive that I will have any problems. But with all the good, there's always a little bad. The control buttons do not feel firm and makes the whole thing seem fragile. In general I am careful with my electronics so this will not be a problem. I could see using these at the gym but I wouldn't drop them or place undue stress on them. This one is minor but the charger looks like it was designed to be compact but the prongs do not fold in and away. I could see traveling with these headphones on a business trip and being able to drop it in my laptop case would've been nice. And lastly, at this price, they should've included a case, preferably a hard plastic one.
Pros:
1. Easy pairing between devices
2. Very good wireless range
3. Intuitive controls
4. Battery life seems to be very good so far
5. Clear sound with no cutting out
6. Better than average sound quality
Cons:
1. Seems a little fragile
2. Prongs do not fold in on compact AC charger
3. No case included
UPDATE (8/11/08):
Now that I've had these headphones for 8 months, I found out that I can pair my phone and iPod simultaneously. I can be listening to the iPod and when a call comes in, the iPod pauses, and I can take the call. Once the call is over, the iPod resumes playing.
UPDATE (11/5/08):
These headphones work with my iPhone 3G but with caveats. First, you must use the Sony TMR-BT8 iPod adapter. You CANNOT just pair through the iPhone's built-in bluetooth AND you must not have it set to "on" before using the Sony adapter. It's probably best not to have bluetooth turned on at all. Second, you must have the adapter in and be in iPod mode before turning on headphones or they won't pair up. Third, you can get phone calls but they will not go through the headphones. And as with all previous iPhone accessories, you will be told that the adapter is an older accessory and may not work, do you want airplane mode. Just select "no" and don't worry about it. I think I covered all of the caveats. What is nice is that you can use the A2DP functions of the headphones like play/stop/FF/RW and volume, you will hear the phone ring in the headphones, and the music will resume once your call is over.
UPDATE (9/28/09):
iPhone ONLY. Now with the 3.0 firmware upgrade, there is no need for the Sony TMR-BT8 iPod adapter anymore. However, while you can play/stop music, you do not have prev/next or reverse/fast-forward functions. I recently upgraded to the iPhone 3GS and still no go on those functions. Hopefully this gets fixed in a future firmware upgrade.

I could not be more pleased with these headphones. I bought them mainly to watch TV in bed without my wife yelling that the TV is too loud and she cant sleep. I live in a 3,000 sq. ft home and i can walk anywhere in the house and still here the TV. It was easy to connect and the sound is great. So if you have the same problem this is the way to go.

Up to four individual headphone receivers can be used with each system - perfect for family movie night or for use in waiting rooms. The HDR line does not include the transmitter but it does not include the charger.Wireless headphones come in many shapes and sizes but few offer as pleasing a home cinema centric performance than the HDR 170. The HDR 170 utilizes Kleer's uncompressed digital wireless audio transmission, offering an effective range of 262.46ft. (line of sight), and can serve up to four pairs of headphones.A weighty, full-bodied and detailed sound reproduction is what the HDR 170 offers. Sporting a couple of switchable listening modes - Dynamic Bass and Surround Sound, it will let you enjoy pure thundering bass, a virtual surround soundscape, or both audio treatments for your music or movies!The headphones' leatherette earpads and headband cushions provide for outstanding comfort while their closed, circumaural design prevents sound leakage.

Macally BLUEWAVE Bluetooth Wireless Headset Review

Macally BLUEWAVE Bluetooth Wireless Headset
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The workmanship in this product is something you might see on an imitation of this product *costing 1/100th of the price*...unfortunately that's not the case. The sound quality is AM radio at best but during this low quality AM-ish sound you can also hear background 'Bluetooth' noise...a kind of whooshing sound (spread spectrum?). I used it with my ipod, my Nokia 9500 cell phone and my mac laptop and they all sounded the same through these headphones: horrible. The first day the headphone cushion fell off the right ear and will not stay on. Do not buy this product; you will be disappointed if you do.
