Pyle PHPW2 Hi-Fi Wireless FM Headphones (Super Bass, Black) Review

Pyle PHPW2 Hi-Fi Wireless FM Headphones (Super Bass, Black)

These wireless headsets from Pyle are mainly used in our home for watching and hearing sound from movies. These are not the best in sound quality but fairly priced. Other features with these headsets like listening to the FM radio isn't as convenient since there's no way to see the station that's tuned in, or a quick way to tune to a favorite station. Instead, I manually push the scan button until the right station I want is being received. When the headset is turned off, then turned back on, the headset forgets the presets so I would need to do it again. So, I don't use it to listen to FM; it's only for emergencies.
Newer wireless FM transmitting base stations and FM receiving headsets have more standard features like built in microphone and ability to use DC power instead of AAA batteries. In my opinion, the built in microphone is a nice to have but it probably isn't a reliable way to monitor for baby cries or for the elderly. The FM transmitting tower is weak, unable to go through walls reliably (900 MHz or higher like the frequencies wireless phones use would penetrate walls reliably). Also, the transmitting stations do not encrypt the wireless FM output signals so the entire neighborhood or the apartment complex could hear your conversations if you left the device on by accident. I prefer to leave this feature/option out of my transmitting station.
If you must have a wireless microphone (to transmit speech via wireless FM frequency), then buy a quality microphone separately (small microphones for computers would work). You could connect the microphone to the Audio Input in the back of the transmitting tower to broadcast the speech/sound.
The DC adapter/capability feature for the newer models are a good feature to have to avoid consuming batteries, but audio quality is poor due to the DC signal noise (occasional crackle sounds and pops will be transmitted from the transmitter to the headsets when a large appliance in the house comes on to draw power). Personally, a battery powered transmitting station is the optimal method and results in higher quality/cleaner signals (the only power source for this Pyle model is two AAA batteries). Transmitting station and signal reception for the wireless headsets are reliable when there's no physical obstructions or barriers.
Power consumption is minimal, but I must remind myself to turn off both the transmitting station and headsets when not in use. I use rechargeable batteries and I never worry about running out of batteries or power for the transmitting station.
These are mono headsets when they operate in wireless FM frequency mode, but if plugged directly into the source with an adapter (purchase separately), they become stereo headsets. If you're looking for higher quality wireless headsets, you may want to get binaural wireless headsets which provide sound that's better than surround sound stereo, but could cost significantly more due to the newer technology behind it.

Sony CDXGT240 MP3/WMA Player CD Receiver (Black) Review

I haven't had this thing for long but so far my experience has been wonderful. I had been using off-brand stereos up until I bought this and I was absolutely amazed at how much better the sound quality was after they installed it.
Even in my old '91 Accord with stock speakers, this thing gets LOUD and the sounds is clear and crisp. The Equilizer is simple but effective and it's easy to change the custom setting without really even looking so you don't have to worry about driving unsafely.
The design is nice and solid and the detachable face plate actually houses all the controls so the stereo is useless when you take it with you (some off brands don't do this).
The knob is the volume control, not the radio tuner. I personally love for the knob to be volume so you can quickly turn it down if you get pulled over or something.
Overall I'm very happy with this stereo, the sound quality is absolutely amazing for the price. The fact that you can burn MP3 CDs and have as many as 300 songs per CD is a major plus. Added to that is the fact that it has a 3mm AUX Jack in the front so you can listen to ANY MP3 player or music device that also has a 3mm output via a male-to-male 3mm cable!(You can play iPods, Portable Cassette players, Portable CD Players, Portable DVD players etc.). Minus one star because the display has a very narrow angle of view in the daylight and since the whole thing has a 45 degree tolerance you may not be able to see it well in the daytime.
