I be not sure if it be because I live in a appartment building or because I have power line outside my living room window -lrb- I live on the 2nd floor so they be right at my level -rrb- or if people in my neighborhood use a lot of 900mhz phone but the sound quality be simply awful . my only purpose be to be able to play game on my xbox without bother anybody else so I be not even talk about a audiophile seek crystal clear and rich sound , a decent sound clarity would have enough for I . sit no more than 7ft from my tv , sound get cut-off and the static go from bad to unbearable when you adjust the dial on the base . same result with regular tv broadcast and when plug into my laptop playing music . I do not know if the product be bad or if my environment make it work poorly but if you be consider this brand\/model make sure you have the ability to return it ! I guess I 'll go back to my previous solution : standard headphone with a 15ft extension cable , which be fine since I do not need to be move around .
