Work good, with a few Caveats
 from Flower Mound, TX,  Aug 7, 2010

Setup is easy (plugs into a headphone jack, so it's very easy to move them to a different device. also includes a 1/4" adapter for large-diameter jacks). If the device doesn't have a headphone jack, there is also an adapter cable to plug it into 2-channel stereo Audio Out jacks. Good bass, and very little static - generally, only has static in certain "dead" zones. Generally, moving your head slightly will clear it up. Otherwise, they sound like wired headphones. The three faults I've found are all power-related: 1) There's SOMETHING special about the AAA included rechargeable batteries, because they last much longer than other AAA rechargeables I tried. Even though the batteries say that they're just 1.2v NiMH and look very generic, they have a much longer run-time than two other sets of fairly new, fully-charged 1.2v NiMH batteries I tried (like 3 hours for the included batteries vs. 30 minutes for my batteries - quite a difference). I only tried 2 brands - maybe another brand would work better than mine. 2) When the batteries run low, there is no visible indicator - It just suddenly looses the signal. It then hisses like an FM radio set to a clear place on the dial. The power indicator still lights when you turn the headphones on, but they just won't receive a signal. The only hint as to the cause is that the auto-scan led doesn't flash when you turn the headphones on (normally it flashes once very briefly). 3) The headphones don't fit on the charger very well - You usually have to fiddle with them, because unless you get them in exactly the right position, the red "Charging" LED won't come on. There's also a plastic cap on the base's connector which you have to remove so it will make contact. All in all though, I'm satisfied. They sound good and they work, once you get past those three problems.

JVC Headphones
 from Virginia Beach, VA,  Jun 21, 2008

These headphones are the greatest. First I purchased one for myself and hooked it up quite easily to our TV. The sound can be completely off and with the headphones on, you can turn the phones up as loud as you want to and not disturb anyone else. They can watch their TV in another area with their sound up. I can walk all over the house and hear the program with them. The cost is most reasonable. I have now purchased five as gifts to my grown children, and of course , when my husband realized how great they are, we purchased one for him.

Husband is Happy
 from SA, TX,  Dec 27, 2010

I bought these for my husband for his birthday at the beginning of December. He uses them almost nightly, and doesn't have a complaint. They work well, clear reception, and I can sleep at night!

Wireless is great, but not flawless
 from Connecticut,  Aug 5, 2011

Firstly, the wireless ability is great. I can walk to the other side of my house and still maintain a signal. That being said, the fact that it's broadcast over an RF signal produces some undesirable effects. Most noteworthy is the CONSTANT "fuzz" associated with RF signals. There is always this faint fuzz, or hissing in the background, and if you turn the headphone volume up too high, it gets louder and begins to drown out the sounds you're trying to hear. On the flip side, if you turn the headphones down to accommodate, the volume of everything drops significantly. Now you're in a situation where you have to turn your source volume (TV, stereo, etc) up very high to offset the balance...and it really only offsets it so much. Another point to touch is interference and static. It is an incredibly sensitive piece of equipment. If you turn your head too far to the left or right, you can get interference which is that lovely static noise that one hears when you are in your car with the radio on and you go under a tunnel. Sometimes it's real bad, sometimes it's not so bad... If you're looking for a pair of cheap, wireless headphones, these are definitely the ones. However if you're looking for a great buy and a great set of wireless headphones... these aren't really for you. I had to learn that lesson. But for all the bad I've talked, the fact that they're wireless really is a great little feature, even though it's got some detrimental side-effects. The docking base also has a "Call" button, and it works amazingly well. My roommate often comes home with something to say and if I don't hear him, he just hits the call button and speaks. The volume of the source material drops significantly, and his voice booms out above it very clearly. It certainly works, and very well I might add. Battery life on these headphones is roughly 30 hours, which isn't bad, and recharging takes a good long while. almost the same amount of time. I recommend having a set of backup headphones at the ready for this...I do. So I give this item a 3/5 because it's just about average. Not amazing, but not garbage either. I'd recommend it for anyone looking to spend thrifty. Just know that you aren't getting anything particularly amazing.

I am stationed in Afghanistan. I purchased this item and when it arrived, I set it up only to find that the product does not work! The power light does not come on, the headset does not stay on the charger to recharge the batteries. I am highly disappointed and will be returning this product. The item was not damaged in transit. It simply does not work. I am highly disappointed as this is the first time that I have been unsatisfied with items that I purchased through Overstock.

Very useful for late night television watchers
 from San Francisco Bay Area,  Dec 10, 2007

I used to keep my husband awake watching television after he went to sleep. Now I can use my headphones and not bother him. They sit on a dresser under the wall-mounted television. There is a barely perceptible"click" at times that does not bother me. The ear cups are very comfortable, and I can watch for hours into the night and he doesn't even know it.

Great headphones for the price
 from Los Angeles, CA,  Feb 24, 2012

The JVC wireless headphones are extremely light weight. Very comfortable. The rechargeable battery holds a charge for hours on end. The wireless syncing is automatic at the touch of button. The sound is crisp and consistent. These are truly terrific phones for the price. I would recommend them to anyone who wants a good set of lightweight headphones without the nuisance of a cable.

Not that good
 from Austin, Texas,  Jul 19, 2011

I have another set purchased from Sharper Image at least 10 years ago. They worked so well, that I decided to move them downstairs to the living room and the set would replace them in the bedroom. Connection was easy (exactly like the first set). First, I noticed that at full volume the sound was only barely adequate. If there was any other noise or activity in the room, the the volume was not adequate. Second, there is background crackle and static noise all the time. If you move your head one way or the other, the static increases but it is never gone. I like the red indicator light because it is dim and does not blind your partner sitting next to you in bed. All in all, I'm very disappointed in the performance of the unit, especially considering that it is a Sony product.

Great headphones! Superb sound quality! Comfortable! The wireless and rechargeable features are the way to go. The hookup to my TV was effortless. The instructions are precise and easy to follow.

PRODUCT DID NOT WORK!
 from CAPE CORAL, FLORIDA,  Apr 6, 2011

This was the first time I used Overstock.com and unfortunately, the product I purchased did not work! I followed the instructions on charging the batteries and tried the JVC Headphones on three different TV sets and I all got was static. I wish to return the product for a full refund in including the cost of the extended warranty.Hope to hear from you soon.
