Cordless Headphones?

So today I got cordless headphones after my 2 year old normal headphones refused to play the music. Big deal!! Yes it is a big deal, cordless headphones are still new here, not many people go with them. Reason? They are expensive! Yes, its a fact, I got this one for Rs.800 while I could’ve got a normal one with probably better sound output for Rs.150.

So I got Frontech Masti(the first one, Model No. : JIL- 3475).

And here are the pics that I took with my mobile!

Wireless Headphone

Wireless Transmitter Unit

Not that I’m a lot excited, but I thought what the heck, lets try it!! :wink: It requires 4 AAA size batteries(2 for transmitter & 2 for headset). So far it looks acceptable, with decent sound output & the range is quite good as well, I’ve the transmitter placed on top of my CPU cabinet & I can go into another room or out of the house & it still works, though there are short/tiny blank periods when in use, signal problem I guess! :wink:

Also, this one doubles up as an FM Radio too. So for the Radio, all I’ve to do is switch off the transmitter & switch-off & switch-on the head-unit & voila, I’m listening to radio & I can change between channels!! What it does is that when I turn on the head unit, it scans for the transmission from the transmitter, & if it doesn’t find any signal from it(meaning that the transmitter is switched-off), then it scans for the Radio signal & starts playing it!! :grin:

That’s the only cordless gadget I’ll take for now besides my mobile!! I would’ve bought cordless keyboard & mice but then they are not as good as their corded cousins, & I prefer quality there, after all its a matter of earning bread!! :wink:

    My friend had already done such a cordless head phone in 2000. I had asked many times to make one for me, but he doesn’t.
    Guess I have to buy one and show him. :-)

    I bought a chinese one about an year back for Rs. 700. It looks like something from an alien planet but works well, and that’s all that matters :-)

    yeah, well, that won’t be new!! if it is, then its quite possible that the brand will be inferior. and to top it all, I’ve had too much experience with the indian eBay(& Baazee earlier) to never buy anything there!! :)
