During one of the blog events I’ve attended, we were given this wireless headphone from CD-R King. And since the Philips headset that I’ve been using has a busted ear, I decided to try this thing out.

First thing that I did was to get 4 AA batteries. A pair for the base transmitter and another pair for the headset itself. Actually the base can be plugged into a socket but the adapter is not included in the package.

Ok so time to put it into test.

When I switched on the headphone, I noticed a half a minute lag before it acquires the signal from the base. The sound was decent and loud enough on its enclosed ears but the fit is a bit odd that my ears got fatigued after an hour’s use.

There’s also this slight buzzing sound at the background some times due to it’s wireless connectivity that can get really irritating.

Oh the base have a built-in FM transmitter so you can use the headphone to listen to the radio when you’re away from the PC.

If your batteries ran out, a cable is included to connect your headphone to your PC’s audio jack. Well at least that would solve the buzzing problem and the need for the base transmitter.

For Php350 it’s decently priced but I wouldn’t recommend you getting these. Just buy a regular but branded headphone.

If I’m gonna buy a wireless headphone I’d choose one that has a base that also acts as a charger. But those are too expensive so I guess I’m stuck with these for the meantime.
