 Knocks out your wireless internet September 11, 2008
F. St-Claire (Dallas, TX)
I bought these on impulse for $30. They are cheaply made (which I would expect), and come with no instructions. The three major drawbacks are: (1) it knocks out my 802. 11g wifi connection TOTALLY and INSTANTLY when turned on (even with a 98% signal strength). I got it to be able to watch TV and use my laptop without disturbing my sleeping wife, not even for listening to music. (2) There is an incessant right-click, left-click repeated over all channels (perhaps interference from another device). (3) the hiss reported by others is hard to minimize.
I am taking these back for a refund. I would avoid these even at this price.

My neck hurts after listening to these for a while.
Also the volume control is funky. Every time you start it, the volume starts out at a deafening level.
Sound quality is so-so
Overall I regret buying these.

My wife and I have been looking at Wireless Headphones for when we exercise. We have looked at several different models to date and came across the Coby. While I had no problem with the unit (at first), my wife hated the way it felt and how much it moved while she was on the treadmill. Anyway, After a couple of days of use, I plugged the transmitter into our Big Screen TV and all I head was an annoying hum and screach. I unplugged it fromt he TV and went backt o my IPod and nothing changed. I spent the next hour walking around the house plugging this fool thing into different outlets and while the sound improved a bit, The hum and screach were always more powerful. In order to be fair, I did take this a step further and disconnected all cordless phones, wireless networks, etc. just to see if that would make a difference, It didn't. This product is now back in it's original package and will be on it's way to Amazon.
I can not tell you to avoid purchasing this item as it may work for you but I will advise you to think twice and carefully review other products before settling with this one.
Not what I expected January 3, 2007

These headphones aren't up to expectations. The general fit is loose to the point where the ear pieces do not stay put and they dont grip your head.
The audio quality is dissapointing. Unless there is constant signal output from the headphones, electronic HUM (quite loud in fact) is all you will hear. In order to get a workable audio, you must turn down the volume control on the headset to the point where it almost becomes inaudible.
Unless you aren't concerned with quality, spend your money elsewhere.
NOT WELL CONSTRUCTED September 26, 2006

After only a few weeks of gentle use, the pieces that hold the earphones cracked and fell apart. I now hold it together with electrical tape. Otherwise, it works just about as advertised.
After so many years of sturdy headphone manufacturing, you'd think this is one thing that they could've gotten right.
