RF Headphones

RF Headphones: Long Range Wireless Listening…

RF Headphones or Radio Frequency headphones offer more flexibility for range of motion. Unlike Infra-red wireless headphones, RF headphones don’t have to be in the line of sight of the device receiver. You can be in other rooms, separated by walls, floors or
ceilings and still get great sound.

The only downside to RF headphones is most models, no matter how expensive and technical, reduce the quality of sound ever so slightly. To understand, it is like listening to the radio on your top-quality stereo system, versus listening to a CD. Sure it sounds great, but it is still radio.

However if mobility is what you are after, then the RF headphone set is probably right for you. Besides, the sound can still be excellent with many of the high quality models made by companies like Sennheiser, Acoustic Research, JVC and Sony.

You can be outside listening to your playlist on the computer, CD, or radio and not bother anyone with the old “music out the window” move. Having these RF headphones is a great idea for those outdoor and indoor chores. You can enjoy your blaring music without disturbing anyone else.

Popular Models and Price Ranges:
Models of RF wireless headphones can range from 30 to 300+ feet (100 meters). The RCA WHR150 have a price of $75 and range up to 120 feet. The Sony MDRRF920RK range up to 150 feet and cost $50.
In the upper price-ranged models sits the high quality Sennheiser RS-65 priced around $180.

Make sure to get a rechargeable set of headphones to save you money in the long run with the cost of batteries. Most higher quality models come with a recharging dock for the headphone set.
