Absolutely no hissThese headphones are amazing. There is absolutely no hiss. They also automatically turn on when you wear them, which is really cool and very handy. They are also light.
I have only two complaints, but they don't detract from my 5-star rating. One, the cushion is too small for my ears, so after about an hour or two it does get a little uncomfortable. Two, the box has a picture of two people, both wearing headphones and using one transmitter. However, this configuration is not really supported by Panasonic, because you can't buy just another pair of headphones. It would really nice if Panasonic would sell another headphone and a recharging station at a lower price, but they don't.
Panasonic Rocks!! Excellent Wireless HeadphonesFor those of you looking for a set of wireless headphones, I would highly recommend these. Before puchasing these, I had bought a couple of other sets from Sony and Senneheiser. However, these were both with the 900 MGHZ functionality. I found the Senneheiser to be far better than the Sony but each still gave off a low hiss. In addition, you could not control the volume on the TV seperately from the headphones. Thus, when you turned down the volume on the TV the volume on the headphones went down accordingly. This was not why I was buying a set of headphones. So, both went back.
I then decided to go with an infra red type due to feedback I had read from some other users about similar problems they had with the 900 MGHZ headphones. My decision came down to either this set or the wireless infrared set from Sony (MDR-DS3000). I decided on these due to my bad look with the first set of Sony's I bought. I can definitely say that I am very satisfied with the Panasonics. The sound quality is excellent with not a peep of hiss. There is a switch on the base which allows you to listen in one of three different sounds expereinces - music, cinema, and voice. If you have equipment that allows digital hook-up, then you can take advantage of the digital input option. What I like best about these headphone is the fact that they are extremly comfortable. Well worth the extra money.
