Strengths: Good range and ease of mobility
Weaknesses: Power plug does not stay connected.
Summary: I purhchased this headphone for use in my architectural studio since I had cut the cords of 2 prior pairs while making models. It was great to have the mobility and not get tangled up in a cord. But after 6 months, the power began to just die. I would find that id I pushed hard on the power cord plugged into the transmitter, it would be powered up. Once I sat it down the light would go off and the transmitter had no power. I purchased the sem model 3 more times (retunring the bad ones to the store in the original packaging) and still had the same problem. I contacted RCA and they said it was outside the warranty.

Strengths: Selectable frequency, abuse tolerance
Weaknesses: Static noise on weak/no signal
Summary: I've been using a pair of WHP150 for almost 5 years now and had just ordered a replacement. That's pretty good lifetime for the abuse they took (including from kids 2-5 2 years old). They were dropped on wooden hard floor many times and my heart would not hurt since they are cheap. We boughts 2 of these headphone sets to watch TV/DVD while our little kids were asleep. One set is plugged into TV receiver box and another one into Xbox - on the different transmitting frequencies, which allows parallel usage by separate users/programs. If two of us want to watch the same program - we just adjust frequency on the headset receiver to tune into the same transimtter. Yes, multiple receivers work with a single transmitter - just make sure you are not charging another set on this transmitter (it would not transmit in the charging mode). The only real annoyance - if there is no signal or sound gets to a whisper level in a program for more than ~15-20 seconds the headphones start producing pretty harsh static noise, until the signal level is back up (which would be indicated by a green led on the transmitter). Also, bass is weak - as expected from the cheap set. High-middle tones are quite OK, resembling good 2.0 stereo presence.

Headsets are comfortable to wear for hours - sometimes I would play Halo for 6-8 hours straight. Also range is quite reasonable - I was able to mowe lawn in the backyard while listening to a music from xbox player.

Button line: can be a reasonable comprimise between price/quality/resiliance for not very picky listener.
