XO Vision IR620 Universal IR Infrared Wireless Foldable Headphones for In-Car TV, DVD, & Video Listening, Black, 4

Excellent product

I wanted wireless headphones for the sole purpose of watching TV at home. I did not want a proprietary system, as I wanted to use readily-available generic headphones that are cheap enough to throw away. I was not sure if the proprietary systems would be compatible with the commonly-available car-type headphones. In addition, most of the proprietary systems have low ratings, probably because of the included headphones. I wanted to use these inexpensive highly-rated headphones (which use AAA batteries, not proprietary rechargeables - a plus for me).Of course, you need a transmitter. I got this one: Infrared IR Audio Transmitter For Portable Headrest DVD Players For Wireless Headphone Conversion 12v For in Car Use. This unit is made for an automobile, so there is a problem. It does not come with a power supply (since it would normally be driven off the car's electrical system). It requires 12 volts.Most of us thrifty people probably have a good supply of the small power supplies in our junk box from previous electronics gear. Searching through my box, I found three or four 9-volt models, but no 12 volt models. However, checking the 9-volt supplies with a meter revealed that every single one of them put out between 12-13 volts (this does not mean YOURS will). All that is necessary is to splice the proper connector onto your (overvolted) 9-volt power supply or a 12-volt one (observing correct polarity, of course!).In my case, I did not know for sure this would work, and I did not want to cut the connector off the supplied one in case I needed to return the transmitter unit. I rummaged around and found the same connector on a different power supply, cut that one off, and used that. Now that you know this actually works, you might take a chance on cutting off the connector on the supplied cable and using that...BUT I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF ANYTHING GOES WRONG. For example, if you just happen to get a defective transmitter, you will then be unable to return it. I disavow any responsibility for what what happens or whatever losses you may incur.You can buy as many pairs of headphones as you want for however many people you want. There is no "coupling" of the headphone with the transmitter, so an unlimited number of headphones can be used.These headphones have a decent amount of bass response, and the sound is very clear (much clearer than the sound output from my TV). They are comfortable, and since they are not closed-ear, you can easily hear conversation in the room without taking them off.My system works great for considerably less money than systems advertised on TV. Since the transmitters usually last just about forever, the only expense going forward should be the occasional replacement of a (very cheap) headphone.

We take long trips in the van and need to keep the kids happy. The kids hate one type of headphones we bought, so we bought one of these to try out. Here is how the XO Vision model compares to the other two we have owned for a long time. On all the ratings, the higher number indicates better performance.XO Vision IR620:Comfort - 5Sound Quality - 4Volume - 3Noise - 5 This model had the least noisePower - Automatic Power OffCost - 5 ($15)Audiovox IR1CFF:Comfort - 4Sound Quality - 4.5Volume - 4Noise - 4Power - Automatic Power OffCost - 3 ($30)Valor Multimedia ACC-HP2:Comfort - 3Sound Quality - 2.5Volume - 5Noise - 2 The most noise of all three by farPower - Automatic Power Off by way of a pressure switch in one ear piece.Cost - 4.5 ($18)The kids like the XO Vision and Audivox headphones while the Valor models sit and collect dust. All three of the listed headphones fit our kids and adjust for adults as well.Best Choices:XO Vision: It produces a good sound for movies, but many may tend to run the volume up about all the way for normal use. This can vary depending on the volume level of the media you are watching. They are comfortable and also smaller and lighter than the Audiovox. When I say smaller, I don't mean to fit smaller heads. They are smaller speakers and ear pads which is a more modern looking style. This is why they are also lighter. Other than that, the Audiovox and XO Vision look to be the same exact frame that goes over the head. I'll see about posting pictures later to show the similarities and differences. The kids like these heaphones the most.Audiovox: If you hard hard of hearing or need more volume, then I would go with this model as it does have a little more volume. They are pretty solid as our kids have used them many many times over the years. The cons on this model is they are more expensive and the ear speakers are larger which gives them more of an old school look if that matters to you. The sound on this model is the best though, as it produces slightly more bass.Valor: I really can't recommend this to anyone. The only high points of this model is a good price and highest volume level, but that is all negated by a noisy signal, poor sound quality, and an annoying power on/off feature. The kids have to hold the side of the headphone to keep it on.
