Customer Reviews

The little headphones that could
Ive been using wireless phones for a great many years and have been disappointed more times than not. I tried these because Ive learned that price does not always match performance when it comes to wireless headsets. From the first time I walked around my house with these on I noticed that they have a much greater range than most costing allot more.
I also noticed they are secure and comfy. Anyone looking for a first set of wireless phones will not do better than these for the money. They sound better than my three times the price Sony phones and are interference free when adjusted properly. In fact they perform better than any others I have ever owned so far (about six different brands and price ranges). I can even walk outside and empty the garbage or do a little gardening around the house and still I hear no breaks in audio.
And one final hint for these things is get some higher amp hour rated batteries. They ship with 500mah so replacing them with some Lenmar or Ultralast 800-1000mah types greatly increases the run time. Just make sure they are the NiMh type.
Try them you will like them.

Great, but keep a full charge in the batteries
I bought these to use in the office since I kept rolling over the cable on my wired phones with my chair. I had the same problem of losing the signal abruptly that another reviewer noted until I swapped out the included no-name rechargeable AAA batteries with some rechargeable Sony branded batteries. With a good strong charge on them I have no problems at all connecting and staying connected. They're comfortable, not too heavy and sound fine. A very good value.

They're great... when they work
I purchased the SPK-9110 wireless headphones so that we could listen all over the house to internet radio. Ultimately, I plan to add a wireless mike so that we can skype friends without being tied to the computer. Plus, it just seemed like a great idea not to be tethered to the computer all the time.

So far, I give these headphones a C+. The way they're designed, there are 3 "channels" on the 900MHz frequency that the phones can scan. You have a 3 way switch on the base station, and a button on the headset to re-scan the channel, somewhat like the old 900MHz cordless phones (remember those, before the age of cell phones?).

Unlike cordless phones, however, the headset does NOT always lock onto the signal. In fact, if there's no audio at the source, the headset does not even connect. It waits until it detects an audio signal, and after a few seconds it establishes a connection and you start to hear the audio. But even after it's locked on to the signal, it will sometimes drop out again.

I don't know whether this is a universal problem or a defect in our unit, but the instruction manual implies that this is how it works. For the first few days I couldn't even get it to work half the time and was ready to return it. But then I discovered that if I jack up the volume all the way, the headset connects pretty fast and stays connected. Fortunately there's a volume control on the headset to keep it moderate in your ears. You just have to remember to reset the computer/stereo volume before turning the speakers back on or you will blow them out!

I can't say I recommend this headset, based on this experience. Since I paid $34.99 I'm probably going to keep them. But to do it again, I would pay another $20 or $30 and get a better designed unit from Sony, Sennheiser, or JVC.
