RCA WHP140 Customer Review(s):
Summary: Excellent product for the $$$
Rating: 4 (out of 5)
Comment: Have wanted to purchase a pair of wireless headphones for quite sometime but when I saw these on sale for the price, it was hard to pass up. I am very satisfied with the product and results. I can now watch TV, listen to music, in bed without disturbing my now asleep wife. I also have a small hearing problem, so I wish I would have know about these for my parents or any older folks who have lost hearing and find it difficult to hear the TV. Rather than turn the volume up sky high others can actually have a conversation without screaming. Good value for the money and would recommend to all. Very easy to set up and get started.

Summary: Are these headphones or a PC modem dialing up??
Rating: 2 (out of 5)
Comment: Ok, I was ecstatic when I first thought about getting wireless headphones. I mean the idea is perfect, is it not? You get to walk around your home and do anything you like while listening to anything from any source, without being tied down by wires! It's like a dream come true. So I looked online, and found this RCA model. I went out and purchased it, and I was VERY disappointed.
The reviews here all have compliments about the headphones. But I live in San Francisco, where it's very crowded and most houses are attached to one another, so there's ALOT of interference. I didn't hear any of the loud static noise everyone keeps talking about that resulted from the auto shut off feature. What I did hear was a Spanish radio station and just some static. Strange huh? As for the reception, I hooked up the phones to my stereo, played a CD, and the sound was AWFUL. I could barely hear the music with all the static. I tried using the channel wheel, which helped, but as I moved around, I had to keep turning that stupid channel wheel, which is very fustrating. I recommend that you look for models with automatic channel tuning so you won't have to deal with this.
When I did stay still and had a good signal, the sound quality wasn't very good anyways. My Sony earbuds are way more superior than these full sized headphones. It's very noticeable. The phones sounds on par with cordless telephones, but with much more static. And if you're wondering the phones can be connected to your TV, yes it can. It has an included cable that connects to the Audio Output on your TVDVD. But I was disappointed here too. The reason I wanted to get wireless headphones were so I can use them to watch TV or movies very loudly while not disturbing anyone. I thought the phones would cut off the TV speakers, and only play the sound through the phones. But no, it played in both. And since I could barely hear any sound from the phones, I had to turn the volume up on the TV, so it got loud enough that I could hear it throughout the house. So that feature goes down the toilet.
If you really want wireless headphones, I think waiting a few years would be best. The technology will provide much better models than these, and will probably be cheaper too. The only good thing I can say about the RCA ones is that they look nice and are comfortable to wear. Mine's had a silver casing which stood out from the black models. But even that has its flaws. The base unit feels so light and weightless that you just wonder if it's doing anything at all. And sometimes one little tug would send the base falling to the ground from wherever it is.
Thank you for reading my review, and I hope you find better models out there. Good lcuk!

Summary: Automatic turnoff is a real turnoff!
Rating: 1 (out of 5)
Comment: I purchased these headphones a couple of months ago even after reading the negative feedback. I wish I would have listened. The headphones really do automatically cut-off when the music stops or when the audio is at a low level such as a very quite scene in a movie. There is also a constant low level hiss in the background.
I know it is tempting to buy these because of the cheap price, but it really is worth it to spend a little more money on a higher quality set of wireless headphones.
