I ordered these headphones for my in-laws. My husband and I live with them to assist them in their elder years. (He is 82 and she is 80.) They watch a lot of television in the evening. Since both of them suffer from hearing loss, the volume on the television would be as high as it could go. I am very sensitive to noise, so when they watched tv, I was guaranteed to get a headache. The tv was so loud, that I could hear it word for word outside of the house. These headphones and transmitter have been a life saver! They can have the volume as loud as they want and my husband and I do not have to hear a word of what is being said. It took my husband les then 30 minutes to install the transmitter and my in-laws have found the headphones very easy to work. My father in-law has dementia and he knows how to turn them off and on. He does have a little bit of trouble adjusting the volume, but my mother in-law does not. This set up was priced at about half of what we expected to pay, is easy to install and use, and was delivered in a timely fashion. We did not even wait a week to receive them.
The downsides of the transmitter and headsets are that you have to buy a part to install them seperately, they can become uncomfortable after having them on for an extended period of time (my understanding is that they become uncomfortable after the user has worn them for 5-6 hours straight) and they go through batteries rather quickly. Overall, this is a very good deal, easy to operate, has created quiet evenings in our house and has made my whole family very happy.
