Hi Chris, the head phones are FM which you can hear all around your =
house
and down the garden too, but the Infrered can only pick up in the same =
room
And if you are in line with the beam, not good.
How they work is:
As I said the headphones are completely without wires. They run off two
rechargable penlight batteries which can be replaced after 2/3 years. =
They
charge whilst in the headphones, read on for how.
In the box there is a small base unit (about the size of a telephone =
handset
base. This you plug into a mains socket, You need to have a Small =
arial
screwed in to it, which is supplied and about 3 inches long.
Now we take the cable supplied and plug one end of it into the base and =
the
other into the headphone socket of whatever you want to listen to, beit =
your
daisy player, radio, cassette, CD or computer.
Your set up now, so you fit the headphones on to your head. There is a
braille letter L on the lefthand sid and R for right. One side has two
wheels, one for tuning into your base units station (for want of a =
better
word) and the other is your volume controle. If you loose the channel =
you
will use the tuning wheel on there, but if your outdoors and can't ajust
satisfactorily then go indoors and you will find a small wheel on the =
base
to turn which will find you another channel. We live in a bunglow by =
the
seaside so our interferance is quite bad for cordless telephones, but I =
have
Never had trouble with the headphones my daughter and I use. Our =
bunglow is
30 foot from one end to the other and our garden that again and still we
have sat outdoors using our headphone set.
I put my hearing aid on the middle setting which is known as the T and =
away
I go, just like being in a Fantastic Theatre, I wouldn't be without =
them.
Trouble is I have bought 4 of these now one for of these, one for my
daughter as she kept breaking her wired headphones, and she still has =
them a
year later with no trouble at all, one for myself, my son and a spare =
one
for when my daughters busts. Son didn't open his as he said he didn't =
like
headphones that didn't go in your ears and the other "Spare Pair" don't =
seem
to be needed! lol This is why I was offering them for sale, but I won't
sell to anyone who has doubts because I think they are Fantastic.
Hope this helps, o forgot to say, coming from the base unit is a coily =
short
cable which is fitted and not removable so you can't mix the cables up, =
the
plug on this goes into the socket on your headphones and charges them. =
You
put them on charge for 24 hours the first time but after that only 2 =
hours
will give you hours of listening.

Hi all,
From a blind person's point of view, can someone thoroughly explain to =
me
how wireless headphones work? I know they work by either RF or IR, but =
like
to know How does the transmitter work, including whether they work on
batteries or plugged in? Also, are they suitable to use for visually
impaired people, and possibly people with some manual dexterity issues?
Someone called Christine W is going to research some wireless headphones
she's got, which I've took great interest in, since obviously there's no
cables to tread on, but the other reason being is that I have moderate
hearing loss and apparently they're suitable for people with that degree =
of
deafness. Thanks, and I look forward to hearing from you. Christopher
