IF I HAD KNOWN..........2007-01-09
The headphones are great, nice bass sound, nice fidelity, but the transmiter did damage an hour after the first use.
Erroneous information on website.......2006-06-09
Ad stated this product is an RF headphone set. When received, it was actually an IR headphone set. The ad also states it runs on 2AAA batteries. Actually, it is a mobile set that required 12VDC to power the transmitter as well as the 2AAA batteries.

"Wireless" - Well, technically, yes........2007-07-22
I have a severe hearing problem and I use special "ear hooks", rather than headphones, that work with my hearing aids. I used to have a wireless setup that replaced the headphones with a receiver that you plugged your own headphones into. This worked great - I could even go outside my house and still get reception because these used a Radio Frequency (RF) signal. Unfortunately, and after many years, they bit the dust.
I did a lot of searching and finally found the Koss HB60. In my excitement at finding a replacement, I didn't think about the fact that these used an Infra-Red (IR) signal. The difference is frustrating.
When they say that IR is line-of-site, they ain't kidding. Wander too much to the right or left, go behind a door, turn your back on the transmitter, or slip the receiver into a pocket and you can kiss the signal goodbye - even standing within the tiny range (20-30ft.) of the receiver.
You might as well be connected with a wire, after all.
I know that this all is just the way it is with IR, and I suppose they work as they should within the confines set by IR.
My suggestion: stick with RF, if you can. I'm still searching for that perfect replacement.
Attempted to return item..........2007-03-08
After receiving the item, I came to the realization that it was not what I wanted and I have been trying to return this item ever since. After calling the company to return it, I was told that I had to send an e-mail in order to get a return code. So, I followed the company's rules and sent an e-mail requesting a return code. That was about three weeks ago and I haven't heard or received anything from them.
I am still in possession of the item and wish to return it for a refund, however; I've not had any luck getting a response from this company. I'm quite certain I won't buy anything from them in the future.
DO NOT PURCHASE.......2007-02-05
Over the years I have purchased several makes and models of wireless earphones.headphones ranging in price from25 to 200 dollars. I am famaliar with comfort and range of sound being received from transmitter.
This product is awful to say the very least. I am not sure why it is even manifactured. The ear phones fall off constantly if one can even get them on. The clip on receiver is cumbersome and can not be covered in the least bit. The transmitter has to be way above ones head in order not to interfear with transmission. It can not be used near one's computer if you have any wireless items hooked up to computer. And on top of all of that weather used on computer, stero or tv. you can not move more than four to five feet away from transmitter for any reception at all. I do not mean just a bit of interferance or static. There is just no sound. Forget going into another room....ha ha ha...No such thing is possible. I would return the product but because everything that I have ever ordered from Amazon works so nicely. I threw away the container it was packed in, shipping invoice and shipping box. It is now in the garbage can where it should be. Please do not waste your money even if you are buying for a child. VERY VERY INFERIOR PRODUCT
Terrible reception.......2007-01-11
One headset barely works - it has a lot of static on it & one doesn't work at all. They are cheaply made & not worth the price at all. My kids were very disappointed with them on Christmas day.
Should ship without the headphones.......2007-01-05
The transmitter / receiver work great. My wife wanted something she could wear while exercising, and the "normal" wireless headphones were too big, too bulky, and too heavy for that. This was one of the few products we could find that would transmit sound to a normal set of headphones / earbuds.
As for the headphones that were shipped with the unit, as soon as I tried them on, my comment was "What in the _____ was Koss thinking when they designed this POS?" A speaker from Radio Shack and a clothes pin would be more comfortable.
But I didn't buy it for the headphones anyway, so I gave it 4 stars. Ship it without the headphones and cut the price by $5, and it would be a 5 star product.

Easy to use & acceptable sound quality.......2006-06-04
I purchased both the Koss HB60 & HB70 infrared headphones from Amazon 2 weeks ago & am haapy with both for different reasons.
Both use the same transmitter which was a breeze to hook up and compatible with both receivers of course.
The HB70 phones hold 1 AAA battery in each earpiece and are thus heavier on the head, while the HB60 allows us to plug in any headphone into their portable receiver containg 2 AAAs.
The HB70 headphones give an immediately noticeable better bass response with specs giving a range of 30-15000 Hz while the supplied HB60 clip-ons give a response of 50-15000 Hz and sound more 'tinny'. The reception and separation was very good for the price at about 15-20 feet and there was only a very small background hiss with both when the volume was turned down too low. For the HB70 the volume control is on the right earpiece while the control is on the receiver on the HB60. Just remember not to turn the source volume up too much or the bass sounds start to break up at high saturation levels at the transmitter end.
Convenience wise the HB70 has the advantage of no wires dangling, while the HB60 allows us to swop for a better pair of phones than the one supplied which are not very good. Remember to choose one with a low impedance though (quoted imp is 10000) or you would drain your batteries very quickly.
Overall, both good buys for different reasons but once the sponge earpieces on th HB70 wear off/disintegrate, I don't know where to get replacements while I can just buy new phones with the HB60. Alternatively, buy the HB70 and replace with any infrared headphone when it wears out, if the transmitter is still working.
Awful noise.......2005-12-30
I got these to use for my office and they turned out to be worse than useless. In order for them to work, you have to plug in the sending unit which needs to be fairly close to your radio. Unfortunately, with my preferred station, the noise generated by the power supply completely overwhelms the signal so these headphones are totally useless. Even when playing a CD the sound quality is terrible. I'm better off just turning it way down and living with it. I would suggest looking elsewhere for cordless headphones.
Disappointed with Infrared Technology .......2005-05-16
This is the 1st set of cordless speakers I've tried. I was warned about about IR vs radio frequency technology. I should have listened to the advice. RF is much better than IR.
I would not recommend these headphones
Below my expectations.......2005-05-10
When I bought the headphone, it seemed the best option: light, cheap, good brand.
But using it was kind of disapointing. Even at 3,4 feet away you hear a background squeaking.
When I had to get new batteries (after 2 months of far-less-than-intense use) I broke the little piece of plastic that holds the battery cover.
I am still using (I got used to the squeaking), but as soon as I have a chance I will look for something better.
UPDATE (02/01/06): I've lost my patience. It went to garbage. Spend more money and buy something better.
Short Range and lots of noise..........2005-01-31
I have never tried other wireless headphones, so I did not know what to expect. These headphones will only work in the room where the base is...that is not too much of a problem because I use them to watch movies when others in the house need quiet, but the amount of hiss and noise is quite distracting. No matter how I fiddled with the volume of the unit and the volume of the surround sound system I could still hear it.
One other thing that may be purely personal: I usually am reclining on the sofa when I watch the movies, with my head propped on pillows--these headphones have a "behind the head" design that is much less comfortable when you are laying back.
The only really good thing for me was the price, but I would be willing to pay more to solve these problems.

Near perfect upgrade of previous models.......2003-04-11
We have been using Sony infrared headphones for years. This model is by far the best and simplest to use so far. The major improvements are:
1) As long as you place the headset back on the cradle when you are not using it, you can forget about changing batteries or recharging.
2) A switch on the cradle switches cleanly between 2 program sources, such as 2 TVs or a TV and a stereo.
3) It turns on automatically when you put it on your head, turns off when you take it off.
Looking at some of the reviews I have to point out the difference between infrared (I/R) and radio frequency (R/F) headphones. The Sony is I/R.
I/R works the same way as the common type of remote control. You have to be either in line of sight of the cradle or where the beam can reach you after 1 bounce from a wall. It is more suitable for watching TV rather than listening to stereo unless you are willing to limit yourself to one room.
R/F broadcasts like a radio and has the advantage of at least the potential for working around the house, but introduces the following problems:
1) Tuning to the exact frequency is required and it may need to be retuned as you move around.
2) Potential interference with other R/F sources such as wireless phones.
3) Making sure that the source is strong enough to give you a good signal to noise ratio. This is especially true if you are using them with a TV. This can usually be solved by just turning the TV's volume up.
I'm reviewing a slightly different item.......2002-12-11
THIS ISN'T THE EXACT MODEL I HAD. Feel free to ignore my review. However, the only difference is that the transmitter was smaller. I did enjoy using these for awhile, they turned off if I wasn't wearing them and they were dead silent if I was out of range. The quality was actually pretty good, assuming the battery is was charged. They didn't seem to run out of juice for awhile either.
The headphones, however, were not that comfortable. They hurt my ears after about 30 mins. Also, my ear pads tore off after about 4 months of use. I got replacement earpieces and I used them for about another 4 months. One day I just grabbed the headphones to take them off and they broke. I guess I should've taken them off with two hands, but that plastic on top is pretty weak.
It's OK, I was expecting more.......2002-03-25
So I thought it would be a great item to be able to listen to music in my house and not disturbe my partner. Wrong. I have to stay within the area of the base and no walls can come between the base and I. Maybe they should say something about this when they advertise. I thought it would be just like my cell phone and I could move around the house freely.
Sony rocks!.......2001-01-18
Sony wireless headphones are really nice. If you have the money to spend on these you will not be disappointed. They have a great reception and feel great also. They rock!
