The headphones have excellent quality and short of having a 5.1 sound system in the room they are really great. I have a hearing challenge in both ears, one worse than the other, and this headset is designed for people like me. I use them routinely for movies and other TV broadcasting that I want to hear better with the distractions in the room or just reflected sound causing a problem. I would recommend them to anyone needing hearing assistance or to have a better hearing experience....

These are probably my 10th pair of wireless headphones. I have a severe hearing loss and use them for TV and stereo. The sound is very good, the volume is great and the BATTERY LIFE IS AMAZING.....



This review is from: Able Planet Sound Clarity Infrared Headphone with Single Source Transmitter

According to the specs, frequency response is 35Hz - 18kHz. Sound is "OK", but definitely not audiophile quality (in particular, if you care about signal/noise ratio you will definitely want to crank up your receiver's output (see more on this below) and set headphones' volume at the lowest possible level). I should have gotten their IR transmitter only (but I was not sure about compatibility with other IR headphones at that time) - because the plastic the headphones are made of has a very strong odor, especially when stored in the provided case without ventilation (this could be the ear cushions but they are not removable/replaceable)- some plastics have a very strong odor, so I am not overly surprised - but this is only second or third time such thing happened to me in 25 years of using / trying / playing with consumer electronics. I took a risk and ordered several pairs of "Power Acoustik WLHP-100 Wireless Infrared Headphones" (this is not a product endorsement but just practical information). I was overjoyed to discover that PlanetAble's transmitter is fully compatible with Power Acoustik's headphones! Some technical details: My PlanetAble's transmitter is "single-input", so I can't switch inputs, but this is irrelevant for me, because I feed my receiver's headphones' output into the PlanetAble's IR transmitter. Power Acoustik's headphones are lighter than PlanetAble's, more comfortable (for me) but are not foldable as PlanetAble's (the feature I can't care less about). I am using this in a home stereo/whatever system with DVD/HD/BluRay/CD/computer/digital audio streaming. Primary need for headphones is watching movies by small groups of people without disturbing kids who are asleep and without being bothered by ambient sounds / etc. I have no idea about how all this would be good/bad for car stereo/video in a huge SUV with mounted machine guns and a built-in 6-pack storage compartment.

To conclude: transmitter: 5 stars, headphones: 2 stars, compatibility: 5 stars....
