Product Description
The JR170 operates on a 900 mHz radio frequency band. The system consists of a high quality, battery-operated stereophone, RF transmitter and AC adapter. Utilizing a radio signal, the JR170 allows listeners to move freely from room to room, even outdoors without the need for additional transmitters or experiencing a signal break. The signal can be transmitted through walls, ceilings and floors and is not affected by bright sunlight. Listeners can roam freely over 150 linear feet.The JR170 incorporates a two channel stereo synthesized operation in its transmitter that utilizes a microprocessor to automatically lock to one or two selected transmitter channels in the event of potential signal interference. The transmitter connects easily to most home theater systems and PCs through the headphone jack (3.5mm) or RCA audio outputs.Neodymium iron boron magnet structures and oxygen-free copper voice coils in the stereophone element, deliver a clear signal transmission, and wide frequency response of 20-18,000 Hz. Closed ear cushions isolate the listener from ambient noise, while retaining the bass frequencies. Operating on 2 "AA" batteries, the stereophone will provide approximately 25 hours of uninterrupted use. A volume control on the earcup allows for easy level adjustment.Product Description

Koss Has Balls Asking This Price For These Headphones!.......2006-02-15
Hiss and break-up.......2001-01-11
Unless the volume reaches a certain level, then there is just too much hiss. To drown out the hiss you either need to increase the volume sufficiently that you cannot hear anything else in the room (that's not very high since these are closed earphones), or play different music.
Even when you are within 2 meters of the transmitter, moving your head just a couple of inches can result in signal break-up.
If you are prepared to sit still and listen to rock music at the right volume then the sound quality really is quite good. However for over $200 more flexibility is expected both in terms of mobility and clearity.
In mono the hiss goes away, as does the signal breakup (within 10 meters). However, you are paying for stereo headphones.
The batteries don't last long (maybe 4 hours) and to recharge them you must connect a cable between the headphones and the base unit and push a switch on the base. With some other makes you only need sit them on a stand. Also the batteries cannot easily be swapped. So if you want to listen for 6 hours, or you forgot to charge them, you'll just have to wait until they are recharged. You cannot just insert a new battery.
They are a bit on the heavy side.
Something I do like is that there is no tuning dial for the radio signal, so cannot accidently detune them.
Classical listeners will be disappointed.......2000-10-18
Your satisfaction with this product will probably depend on your listening preferences. Most radios stations and many pop-type CDs would come through just fine. Discriminating lovers of more quiet music will not be satisfied.
