The Advent AW770 900MHz Wireless Headphones are Great!

by surferdude7 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 10, Oct 04 '02
Pros: Great sound with included NiCad rechargeable batteries.
Cons: The 300 feet range seems a little far!
The Advent AW770 wireless headphones give you an operating range of 300 feet from the transmitter. Now you can listen from your TV, CD player, Radio and more from about 300 feet away without any wires.

Audio EARgasm

by criteeker Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Sep 09 '03
Pros: No more wires to kink or wear out
Cons: Range of clarity varies
Having had SEVERAL different headphones over the years, the corded or wired models have the same issue: The cords wear out and one or both speakers crackle or cut out. The corded headphones have done away with that issue...well almost. The same effect ...

Pros: Good Sound - lightweight
Cons: Can only use at home
Wireless Headphones
I recently received a pair of Advent model AW770 900mhz wireless headphones as a Christmas gift. Wireless headphones are a great idea for people who are working around the house and want their music to go with them. They...

Advent Wireless AW770, ends limitations

by Gomer808 , Feb 27 '04
Pros: Wireless, Cheap, relatively comfortable
Cons: Configuring is a little complicated, can become uncomfortable, static in some places
I thought it was be not only cool, but functional to get a pair of wireless headphones. Being a college student, I was looking for cheap, but effective ones. I found them. Ease of use: 3/5 Actually, not that easy. There are a lot of knobs and ...

Advent AW770 900MHz Wireless Headphones

by exatronix , Dec 30 '04
Pros: Comfortable, Good Sound Quality, Low Price
Cons: May be difficult to set up for some
Before I go any farther, just let me say that I have excellent hearing. I hear things that most other people I know, can't. Especially high frequencies. Keep this in mind as you read this review. I bought these headphones for a few reasons: (1) I ...

Because I Can

by zero_ Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Jan 08 '03
Pros: No wires (duh): Listen just about anywhere in your house without getting tangled.
Cons: Bulky and subject to interference.
    Wireless headphones are nifty. They aren't especially useful, mind you, but the principle is an appealing one. The trouble with all of the wireless headphones I've ever tried, though, is that they're expensive, bulky, and finicky. IR...

Wow, They Go The Distance!

by ewilliam , Feb 04 '03
Pros: Great sound, long-lasting, comfortable, rechargeable batteries
Cons: Battery life, frequent adjustment, kind of bulky
I bought these headphones over 2 years ago. Having never heard of Advent, and given the fact that the technology was new and I was getting a good price, I didn't expect them to last this long.

Well, my expectations have obviously been...

Drown out your environment without tripping on wires!

by packdragon , Apr 22 '02
Pros: Great sound, well cushioned
Cons: Kinda heavy and bulky, too many knobs to fiddle with
I bought these through Ebay and discovered that the charger wasn't working, and the Frequency Tuning Light wasn't either. I'm in the middle of settling this with the seller, but I can still review the parts of these headphones that are working, which ...

Good investment if cords bother you

by sujal , Feb 22 '02
Pros: Good sound, comfortable, no wires
Cons: setup, moderately frequent readjustment.
I bought these headphones about 7 months ago after wrecking a second pair of $100 Sony headphones. The sad part of it was that both of my previous headphones were broken in some sort of cord-caught-in-office-chair accident. I decided that I would be...

Advent AW770 wireless headphones

by rob_mcgowan , Mar 24 '04
Pros: great range, very comfortable, good sound
Cons: headband creaks slightly, can be adjusted accordingly
Headphones offer music listening while not disturbing others, wireless expands this functionality substantially. No longer tethered you can listen to music while mowing the lawn, working around the house or lounging on the patio. I find this new found ...

Not yet the answer

by alangh , May 17 '04
Pros: Excellent range. Common batteries - uses AAA alkalines or NiCads or NiMh.
Cons: Poor sound quality High distortion- highs sound like square waves
Since I bought my father a set of cordless headphones, I have been looking for a set for myself. The RCA I bought him was fine for his use, but I found them poor on sibilants. He is 85, so sibilants don't matter. I bought a pair of Sennheisers, and ...

Fulfills its purpose.

by ralembik , Nov 03 '02
Pros: comfortable to wear, reasonably clear sound
Cons: Cordless is not yet a perfect replacement for corded headphones.
After reviewing the Epinions on this product I purchased it from Best Buy. (Needless to say the epinions were more helpful than the sales people there.) Basically I needed it for listening to music on headphones at my desk, which is too far from my...

Surprisingly decent

by rick_sh , Dec 26 '04
Pros: Cheap (compared to other comparable models), Good battery life, Good range.
Cons: Average sound quality, can become uncomfortable, aren't intended to be "portable"
Had these for just over a year now. Got them for approximately $20(Canadian) refurbished. For that price they're pretty good. Sound quality is obviously not incredible but surprisingly good. The earpads are fairly well cushioned and they cover most ...

Bulky, but Great Sound Quality

by neco , Dec 12 '03
Pros: Sound quality, convenience features
Cons: Too big to be truly portable - You'll likely only use these at home.
I bought these to listen to DVD's without disturbing others in the house. **** Connections: There was no need for a headphone jack on the TV as they came with an adapter to connect the transmitter to the stereo audio jacks on the back of the TV, DVD ...

Keep Looking #2

by retired2000 , Apr 27 '07
Pros: Sound is great. Range is great.
Cons: Coating on earpieces will peel over time and leave black stuff around your ears.
I own a pair of these AW770 headphones that I bought for about $90 in Nov 2001. I love these headphones and they work great. I don't quite need the range as we are fulltime RVers, which means we live and travel 100% in our motorhome (384 sq feet) ...
