... the best choice for wireless headphones if you don't have too much to spend. I tried Sony (barely okay) and RCA (completely sucked), and none of them came close to what this pair can do.
Acoustic Research AW721 Way Better Than the AW771/772 September 24, 2006

As a hearing impaired person, the Acoustic Research AW721 is a wonderful product! Recently, however, they blew a speaker and I had to return them to Best Buy. Unfortunately, they no longer carry this product. Instead, they provided me with the AW772 which was $20 more and had the automatic tuning feature. I thought this would be a great feature. The negatives were that the new product only goes 150 feet and as a result of the automatic tuning feature, the signal would be searching at the most inappropriate times (like when you needed to hear what line the actor was saying on your favorite show). Also, the newer version did not increase the volume loud enough.
As a result, I am returning this upgraded product to Best Buy and purchasing the Acoustic Research AW721 from Amazon.
The Pros of the Acoustic Research AW721 are:
1. Loud enough for hearing impaired people to use without hearing aids
2. Can hear the sound all the way outside while mowing the lawn or picking up the mail.
3. The cushions on the headphone allow me to also comfortably wear them with my hearing aids.
4. Other people cannot hear anything from these headphones while they are on my head. This makes it nice since I like the volume to be turned way up on these headphones! I can be right next to another person without waking them from their sleep, even with the volume at full blast!
Acoustic Research AW721 Cons:
1. Speaker may blow within 6 months
2. Sometimes hard to tune in manually.
Overall, the Pros far outweigh the Cons. I would recommend these to anyone who is interested in listening to the TV or music without interrupting the rest of the household.
The Acoustic Research AW721 headphones are my favorite so far!
AW721 is much better than AW791 July 21, 2005

I bought AW721. loved it but i also read about AW791 and decided to buy AW791 so I can return the AW721. But the quality of the AW721 is by far better than the AW791. Even thought the AW791 comes with a fiber optic connection wire( analog are not included with AW791- you have to buy it seperatelly), i hated the constant quite buzz that accompanied the AW791 so i am back with my original AW721. Also the reception of AW721 is stronger and more reliable (when you constantly move), than AW791.
Great Sound! Excellent Range! September 23, 2005

These headphones are great. Once you find the right frequency between the transmitter and the headphones, they work like a charm. Sound just as good as normal headphones, and have an incredible range! I was able to walk outside for a couple hundred feet, and still hear music out of my laptop perfectly! The only con would be due to the size it sometimes causes my ears to overheat. Other than that they are very comfortable. I would definitely recommend these headphones to anyone.
Excellent Choice November 20, 2005

I have tried three brands: Sennhauser, RCA and AR. The Senn was quite expensive. The RCA was inexpensive but I got what I paid for....They were horrible.
The AR's that I just bought are inexpensive and just as good as the Senn at 1/3 of the price.
Don't worry about these - buy them with confidence!
