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!
Not that I’m a lot excited, but I thought what the heck, lets try it!! 😉 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! 😉
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!! 😀
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!! 😉
But the freedom from cord comes at the expense of the quality of the sound, no? I tried Sennheiser ones, they were okay, but not as good as the cord-waala headphones I was using. But then, I was comparing it against the Bose Triport . Anyway, its fun roaming around the house without bothering about the wire.. 🙂
There is certainly a difference in quality as the sound signals are transmitted in the air & the headphone then catches them. So if you are sitting near the transmission unit, then you’ll get max quality & lowest/shortest blank periods, & as the distance grows between the headphone & the transmission unit, the quality decreases & the blank periods will increase.
But as I don’t roam about in the house & just sit in front of my PC when listening to music, I haven’t been affected & as I tested these, it was working alright even when I went in adjoining rooms. 😀
thanks for providing information on cordless headphones. I sas thinking of buying a pair and did not know whom to ask the questions and when I searched the web, the first entry was yours. thanks again dear,as I have got answers to all querries that were in my mind.
Hello it is not trasmitting in stereo. BEWARE
what do you mean murali? ofcourse it transmits in stereo!! using it for about 1 year, I would know about it, no? 🙄
few days back i got this pair for 475 bucks. My friend had been using these for 2 years without any of the problems. I you are worried about bass , then you need not to.The best thing about these is their ability to provide a lot of it. provide a high output in cordless mode.but does not stereo o/p in the cordless mode noise increases at higher volume but manageable.the cable provided is not of good quality overall worth a lot more than waht i baught them for
What cable was shipped with it? Its cordless with a transmitting device(which you plug in your PC) & the cordless headphones. 😉 Though I’ve not used them for quite a while now, got myself the tried & tested normal (full ear covering)headphones for Rs.150 which give much better sound output than these!! 🙂
