We have had these since early October, and have used them every day, usually for about 5 hours, and then set them on the charging dock overnight. We only use them for TV and are so far very happy with them.
It was easy to set up and attach to the television. We didn’t want wireless or Bluetooth capability, as we don’t have a smart TV with internet, but the instructions include three different ways to set the headphones up and one worked perfectly. It comes already paired between the dock and the phones once the dock is attached to the TV, but also has instructions, in case the pairing doesn’t work right away. In fact the detailed instructions for set-up and use are easy to follow (and I usually have trouble with that!).
We can usually get about 7 hours at a time from them before they need charging. What I especially like is that setting them on the charging station is so easy, unlike the kind that you have to dangle over the top of a pillar. For these, the headphones get nestled into the charging station. Just watch for the red lights to come on and you’ll know it’s charging. When the bottom light on the station turns blue, it’s fully charged.
I can’t speak to the adjustability of the headpiece because they fit me well without adjustment. I prefer to not have the phones cover my whole ear, but wear them slightly at the back of my ear so that I can hear the phone ring, etc. However, if I do put them completely over my ear, they fit fine.
One thing to know is that they are a bit heavy, because the battery is in one of the phones, but it is not uncomfortable.
The controls for on-off and volume are easy to reach on the right earphone, and simple to use. One beep and it turns on, three beeps and it turns off. There is an NA button on the the phone doesn’t appear to mean anything, (according to questions about that on the Amazon site) just separates the Volume and On-Off buttons from each other.
We live in a two bedroom condo, and the phones work everywhere in the house, through walls and up and down stairs. The sound might cut out for a few seconds when changing rooms, but comes right back on. They have never lost sound when sitting in front of the TV. Sound quality is fine for me, but I am not using them to listen to music so can’t really speak to the quality. For television listening they sound good, especially for speaking voice, which is why we use them.
For the price, these are very good, and I’ve gone on and on about them because they are the first headphones for TV we’ve had that works well, easy to set up, intuitive to use, and so far, have had no problems.
