GOgroove PurePlay 2.4 Ghz Wireless Headphones with Premium SonusMAX Engineering Technology Review

GOgroove PurePlay 2.4 Ghz Wireless Headphones with Premium SonusMAX Engineering Technology
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
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.

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.

LG Stereo Headset Adapter 2.5mm Jack to a 3.5mm stereo headset support w/ Send & End button and volume control COLOR: (SGEY0003619 GREY) Review

Finally - an adapter that delivers as advertised! I can finally use my phone (LG ENV3) as a real music player. The adapter fits perfectly & won't fall out by accident. Simply plug a standard 3.5mm headset into the unit & you have stereo headset from your cell phone along with a microphone. Only complaint is the length of the cord. Once coupled with a headset, it's very easy to get a tangled mess!

These are not really dramatically better than the standard ipod headphones. But they sound pretty good for non canal type earbuds, and are a good value for the price. I ride a bike in New York City so I need earbuds that will allow some outside sounds in, and these work well.
I also like the clear cable and modern styling. Let's you be a bit more than another white cord ipod clone.

RCA Pearl 1 GB MP3 Player with FM Radio and Direct USB (Black) Review

RCA Pearl 1 GB MP3 Player with FM Radio and Direct USB (Black)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I am baffled by the negative reviews for this thing. My kids got these today for Christmas and so far, they are great! I loaded almost 250 songs in about 5 minutes. It's possible that if you have trouble loading music into this thing, you just don't know how to use your computers file system. You can drag and drop from anywhere you keep your music on your computer or use windows media player to sync it perfectly. The file system is similar to an ipod. You can select from artist, album and song. Great sound. The 1GB is not expandable but for an 8 and 10 yr. old 300 songs is plenty. It's about the size of a Bic lighter. It doesn't have any sort of clip and the software it comes with is not that great but you really don't need it anyway because it's easy enough to drag and drop as i've already mentioned. If your getting this for jogging or the gym or for kids or even audio books, this thing will work fine.

Sleek, slender, and absolutely stunning--exactly what you'd expect from a Pearl, one of RCA's Gem line of digital audio players. Not only can you download and listen to your favorite songs easily, but you also can enjoy the ability to listen and record FM radio directly onto your Pearl.
No Cords Required The Pearl's direct USB connector design means you can quickly download your favorite open MP3, open WMA, and unprotected AAC tracks from any computer. This multifunction device will double as your MP3 player and a USB data storage device.
Expandable Want more room? Not a problem. Add expandable memory in the MicroSD card slot and load it up with music. This option gives you the flexibility you need to store additional songs, audio books, and other large files.
Crystal Clear View The Pearl's 0.8-inch OLED screen provides a vibrant viewing experience. A quick glance is all you need to see your navigation or information about the current track.
Tune in While You're Out Better than a simple FM receiver, the Pearl allows you to record while listening to an FM station. The player will store the MP3 file until you're ready to listen again or download it to your computer.
What's in the Box RCA Pearl 1 GB MP3 Player with FM Radio and Direct USB (Blue), one AAA battery, earphones

Bluetooth Transmitter Review

Bought this followed the charging instructions. In following the pairing instructions the lights flash as expected but the device will not pair with my motorolla Rockr S9's or any other bluetooth device I might choose.
Finally was able to find a support phone number for this device after a google search. No, there is no support or contact information in the provided materials. I was told that the device is not currently compatable with the Motorola S9 Rockr headset. Which tells me there is something wrong with the previous review that states the device paired with the S9.

Sleek Audio SA6 Wireless Bundle Review

Sleek Audio SA6 Wireless Bundle
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The headphones alone are excellent--they have great frequency response and presence. I am not a technical type but I do own Etymotic ER-4's and these sound better to me.
These use flexible ear pieces like all other earphones in this category. They eliminate a lot of ambient sound but may take some getting used to if you have not used this type before. They come with several size ear pieces and I suspect most everyone will find a size they are comfortable with.
The wireless transmitter and receiver works well and allows me to use my I-pod without a dangling wire. The earphones can be used as a normal wired type or the wire can be removed and used with the wireless transmitter and receiver--the headphones sound exactly the same to me, either way. This is surprising, as normally wireless introduces sound quality erosion.
I do get some occasional very short dropouts in sound in the wireless mode if I have my I-pod in my pants pockets but have had no problem if I keep it in a top pocket. Line of site presents no problem--I have used at 30 feet with wall in the way from my stereo receiver and my PC. These are superior to other wireless products I have used that can not compete in terms of range.
The wireless receiver can hang in front or over the back of your head. It is a little large and a bit clumsy if you like it hanging in the front--so I have become a back of head hanger.
The on/off switches on the receiver/transmitter are a little small and you need to be careful not to hide the light when you turning them on and off.
I have not run out of charge after using 8 hours--I have seen other reviews that indicate you can expect 8-10 hours.
These headphones sound as good to me as my Etymotic at close to the same price--this wireless option makes these my first choice.

Sony MDRRF970RK 900 MHz Analog RF Wireless Headphone Review

Sony MDRRF970RK 900 MHz Analog RF Wireless Headphone
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I had this 970RK for 2-3 years and never have the problems as many complained in the 1-star group - noisy, poor sound quality, short battery life, etc. Each is just opposit to me in a positive way.
I have been using it in a single family house (vs. apartment building) and I always connect it to the LINE OUT of a TV, not the earphone jack, so that I can just mute the TV while listening to the headphone.
It works so well for me that I am going to buy a 2nd set of the same thing so that I can always have a one fully charged waiting there when the another I am using runs out of battery (That is why I am here today).
Hope this helps to tell why the reviewers are so wide spliting here - they may use it in different ways or locations.

Got this to use while on my treadmill. I can listen to the TV- reduce out the treadmill noise and not disturb others with my volume. Works perfect. The 50' to 70' range lets me stop for breaks away from the TV without missing anything. The set is always charged. It took only a minute to connect and plug in. I did have to play around with the exact position on my head for max comfort, but I found it quickly. I love this product. Wish I'd found it sooner. As always, Amazon had the price, fast shipping and the best return policy out there.

The wireless RS-120 headphones are ideal for people who like to walk around the room while listening to TV or their favorite tunes. The convenient system features a wireless transmitter (926.1, 926.8, and 927.5 MHz frequencies) that broadcasts a powerful signal throughout the room--and even through walls and ceilings. Should listeners wander upstairs or outside, they can still enjoy the headphones' warm sound and strong bass response provided they stay within range. The RS-120 headphones are also great for listening to late-night TV without waking the rest of the house. And thanks to the lightweight, soft ear pads, the phones feel comfortable through hours of use.
When you're done listening to the phones, simply rest them on the included transmitter/base station. The base also recharges the NiMH batteries (included), so you can listen again and again without having to buy new batteries every few weeks. Finally, the phones offer fully replaceable parts in case a pad or other part wears out. So don't get tied down by restrictive cables. With these Sennheiser headphones, users will enjoy a whole new world of wireless convenience. The RS-120s are backed by a two-year manufacturer's warranty on parts and labor.

I got these so I could watch TV at night without disturbing others in the house. The sound quality is fantastic. Great dynamic range and clear sound. I will get a second pair for the other TV in the house.
I have not used them for pure audio. I have high end audio equipment and prefer the imaging that speakers provide. Headsets don't produce the sound stage well.

Sleek Audio W-1 Wireless Earphone Transmitter (Black) Review

Sleek Audio W-1 Wireless Earphone Transmitter (Black)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I'm an audiophile and all around gear head. I have owned Grado SR325s, Bose IEMs, high end Sonys, and top of the line Sure e4s . I currently own a pair of Grado SR60s and still have the Sures.
I've been listening to the W1 paired with the SA-1 earbuds for several days now. They are hands down the best sounding earbuds I have ever owned, easily beating my Grado SR 60s in back to back tests. The Sures don't even come close - too bright, lacking midrange and bass. The Grado SR60s sound good, but flat compared to these. they are also uncomfortable and have an enormous, thick cord that snags on everything. The Bose "on ear" buds were my previous favorite, but the sound was very colored - heavy bass, anemic highs, just ok midrange. They died when the cord failed.
Then there are the CRAP Motorolla bluetooth wireless headphones I bought last year. They are barely tolerable as hands free headsets for my IPhone, absolute GARBAGE for music. Stick your speakers in the toilet, and crank up the volume. The sound will closely approximate Bluetooth audio.
The SA-1s sound great - only bested, slightly, if at all by the stellar Grado SR325s to my ears. I tried the black bass ports, and they add some punch, but kill the highs - at least to my 46 yr old ears, so I went back to the silver tips. The mid size double tips are very comfortable for my ears, putting the torturous Sure tips to shame.
The BONUS?
I ordered the W1 wireless kit because I'm active, and like to move around. I live on a sailboat, and sailing requires constant physical activity, as does working on the boat. Previously, I'd fire up my Bose sound dock and blast it while sailing or working, but the fidelity is just so-so (Typical Bose) and I longed for a better solution. Wired headphones just don't cut it on a boat. Turning your head quickly or changing layers becomes a major pain. Same when the cord fouls as you are trying to douse the jib in a gale!
The W1 sounds crystal clear, and range is acceptable - about 30 feet inside. Outside, depending on your RF environment, they are subject to cutting out. To remedy this, keep the transmitter and receiver close to one another. Moving my IPhone from my hip to my neck (hung like sunglasses from my shirt collar) totally fixes the problem. An arm band holder would accomplish the same thing.
The instructions are clear the the range is INSIDE range. The transmitter is TINY, and lasts for an entire day - to increase range they'd have to increase power, making it either die sooner or bulky. There is no free lunch.
The freedom of wireless is awesome, and so is the clarity. The SA1s are beautiful, cheaper than the Bose, look better, and the cord or even transmitter can be replaced.
5 stars for value, comfort, sound quality, and convenience.
