Author's Review
I only paid $5.00 or so after a rebate of these headphones - so, I figured, "How bad can they be"? Ugh.

#1) They hurt. They're downright painful to wear for more than a couple of minutes. I keep using them - hoping my ears will "adjust"; but, it doesn't happen. I'm talking about pain that sticks around for a day or so *after* you stop using the headphones.

#2) I thought they'd be great to use when working in the yard. So I hooked up the transmitter to my MP3 player, dropped the MP3 player in my pocket and went outside. Unfortunately, my body seems to be enough to block the signal -- we're talking less than 3 feet from my pocket to the headphones! I ended up putting the player/transmitter on the ground and stayed within 10 feet or so and it seemed to work halfway decent.

#3) As others have said, there is latency, skips, dropouts, and poor sound quality to add to the mix. Without going into anymore specifics, let's just say they're bad.

Overall: I wish I would have either sold them and made a little money or flushed the $5.00 down the toilet -- it would have been more useful.
