The prodcut is good, and gives value for money

Bought one of these units several months ago, and the only problem I found is the low quality earpiece and microphone. I would recommend ditching them as soon as you get the unit and going with a higher quality set to plug into the base. Other than that, the price is certainly right.

Setup comes with batteries, base, and headset, but it does accept standard size 3.5mm stereo earphone and microphone jacks. There is also a 9V AC adapter jack on the back if you want to add a universal AC adapter for constant power.

The title says it all basically. The sound is largely muffled and the drivers aren't very efficient. Bass is also sorely lacking and these headphones don't sound very qualified for even using with any digital music. These would be ok for a TV or VCR headphones when you want to turn up the volume late at night or if you do not want to hear a snoring spouse while watching a video. In general, I would not recommend them unless you want the long 3 meter cord, volume control and isolation these headphones provide, which is just about all they have going.

I bought these headphones to replace the original ones that came with my portable cd player. In terms of sound quality it was o.k. (i.e., average). But what really bothered me most was how extremely uncomfortable they were! After 10-15 minutes of having them on my ears, I would have to take them off! I am currently looking for another brand to replace them.

These Panasonic headphones aren't bad. They are very lightweight and they seem to be durable. They also fold up conviently so you can keep them in your pocket. The downside, however, is that they can get to be very uncomfortable when you have them in your ears for a long period of time. I'd pass on these and get a different pair with foam cushions around your ears rather than these uncomfortable plasic buds.

Just so you know, this product connects to the cigarette lighter adapter in your car. It is not a plug-in (to the wall) charger. I bought this item (at such a great price), but now I'm stuck returning it. It is a fine product, if you're looking for a car-charger, though.

I bought these as a replacement for my aging Koss R/100's(by far the best headphones I've ever owned).

When I took these out of the box, the first thing i noticed was that they looked to be very cheaply made. The entire headband is one thin piece of plastic, no padding at all. The earcups are padded in plain foam covered with thin cloth. After about 1 month of use, I picked them up one day and the headband had broken where the height adjuster is located.

I tried them on and played some rock, metal, and rap. The sound was good, but wasnt anything special. I have some tracks that go above 20khz, and below 20hz, and I don't believe i heard any sound outside of that range. Their 10hz-25khz rating is a bit optimistic, especially for a $30 pair of headphones.

If you baby them, these are decent sounding headphones. As far as durability and workmanship, they are worthless.

They are great they are so cool and work everywhere

This item is good, but information in description failed to mention what type connecter it was for the modem itself. The description should say the type connection as my modem has an x-jack and this one does not. There was nothing to tell this in the information provided. I would not have ordered knowing it was the wrong connector.

Dont buy the iRock. First of all, it eats batteries like a madman! Second, when you move it, it distorts the sound on the radio. Third, it only has 4 stations, and if there is a station broadcasting on any of thoes, it runs over and distorts the sound on the other 3. Fourth, after taking care of it, and using it for about 3 weeks, the wires in the conector from the mini-jack to the transmitter broke, and now they short circuit, draning batteries and distorting the sound even more!

My sugestion, if it is for an iPod, buy a Griffin Technology iTrip. They are great!! If not for an iPod, get a cassette adapter.

I got one of these for a 12 hour road trip with a friend. First of all, there are only four frequencies to choose from, and they are all right together. If there is a good station transmitting on anything near that, you are out of luck. My friend ended up having to hold the stupid thing the whole time to get a good signal out of it. We spent a LOT more time trying to get it to be useable than we did enjoying our tunes.

That's the short of it - don't waste your money on this one.

There are FM transmitters that do work just fine. The one I got after the iRock disaster was the iTrip from Griffin Technology. You can transmit on any frequency on the band, and you can even get international frequencies from their website. If your car can pick up, say 80.5 (it has to be a foreign car) you can use that frequency on the iTrip. It's awesome! The iTrip isn't sensitive like the iRock, either. You can turn your songs on and throw your iPod in the seat next to you, and you don't have to worry about the sound getting staticky. Oh yeah, and you don't have to have a battery for it either. It steals a tiny bit of juice from the iPod.

My old battery draining iRock has now had the (depleted in less than a day) battery removed and is one of my cat's favorite toys.

I bought this unit to use with an MP3 player. It has four different frequencies to choose from (88.1/88.3/88.5/88.7 MHz) and uses two AAA batteries. It simply plugs into the headphone mini stereo jack with a very short cable and has a simple power on/off button with LED indicator.
I found that for my car stereo to receive the signal from the Irock! it needs to sit within 2-3 feet of the antenna. This requirement leaves me only one choice for placement and that is on the passenger side dash. Unfortunately the placement means that every time I turn a corner the Irock! and my MP3 player slide across, and often off, my dash. If I had a car with the antenna in the back this would have been useless.
The low power of this unit allows even very distant FM channels to interfere with reception and causes me to retune to one of the other channel selections often. Also I expected longer battery life, while I can get up to 6 hours on a set of batteries I find that the power output drops quickly after the first 2 hours and requires new batteries or the 2-3 foot antenna distance drops further.
While usable I would not recommend it to any one traveling where there is a possibility of moderate to strong FM in the units operating frequency range.
