Review on Black Wireless Walkman Headset: Portable FM Radio Headphones for Best Reception, Ideal for Walking & Jogging, Powered by 2 AA Batteries (Not Included) by Hugh Starr

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The Hanwis HA-108 FM Headset works as advertised.

Excellent price for a decent headset. Trademark Hanvis. Model HA-108. It tunes from 50 to 108MHz, which is well below the usual FM radio frequencies common in the US. You can also tune in 0.1MHz increments. All this is very convenient to set up some personal FM stations to watch TV or listen to music without disturbing others. Some of these transmitters use frequencies below standard radio frequencies. With these headphones you can receive them. It's really stereo. You can switch it from stereo to mono. As usual, the mono reception is a bit cleaner than the stereo reception. Volume is decent but doesn't hit painful levels if that's your thing. And yes, unfortunately you can only save one station. Searching for FM stations is quite quick. If there are many stations in your area, a small push of a button is enough to bypass them. This prevents you from forcing him to skip them to go to the desired frequency. This can be annoying for people who are looking for a few regular channels and want to find them quickly. If it finds a station you don't want, you'll need to lift your finger from the button and hold it down again to start scanning. So far I haven't had to extend the antenna to get good reception. They're quite comfortable with plenty of padding in the headband, but as another reviewer noted, the earpiece angle may need to be "adjusted" to fit your ears snugly. Overall I gave 5 stars because it was better than expected and did everything that was advertised.
