The sound is decent, the drawback – no power adapter included in the set (12V DC) and no power input jack, only 2 bare wires hanging loose. Gave me a run around to get a transformer first, then I had to go to Radio Shack to spend additional $10 for female transformer jack connector, solder it to the wires.
Also, there is no mention on Amazon or the Pyle web site about the receiving range – it’s only 6 or 8 meters max.
And, there is no real manual for this product yet, just small flyer type of paper included with basic info. No PDF product manual on the Pyle web site is available yet too.
Otherwise, the headphones work well with a decent sound coming out of it within the specified range.

Very good product. I ordered this set to use on my home television. I used a 12VDC transformer I had from a previous product, spliced it onto the pigtail power leads, connected it to the TV audio output, and am very happy with the results. This unit is intended for use in a van or auto, but it is also an outstanding choice for in home. The sound quality is faultless.

I bought these to use on TV in living room, which worked out ok. The only problem is that they have narrow width and depth transmission and reception. The transmitter cannot be more the 10 to 15 feet away or the reception degrades the further the distance and width is no more than 30 degrees so it has to be placed right at center of where you will be seated. In order to make this work in home environment you have to use a 12 volt converter that can be purchased at Radio Shack. I also used these in my car with a factory installed DVD system with wireless headphones. The car DVD system came with two wireless headphones and one broke so when I got these I just tried one by turning on the system in the car and I was surprised that it worked. Now I’m not sure if all car DVD systems work on RF Frequency or that they all work on the same frequency but they did in my case.

With an rf wireless headphone, I was always hitting the fine tuning knob when I wanted to change volume, or the tuning would drift by itself. The operation of these IR headphones is fool-proof; no fine tuning, no drift, and battery life is many times longer. Also the technology is standardized, so you can always purchase inexpensive replacement headphones. The main negative is that low frequency response is poor, but to get better requires spending a lot more money. It does also require a fairly inexpensive seperate power supply as mentioned in other reviews. Overall, an excellent value that should be more than adequate for use with a TV set.
General tip; If your TV has lineout jacks, use those for your transmitter. That way you probaly can mute your TV without affecting the headphones. Most lineout jacks bypass the Tv’s volume control.
