Are inexpensive wireless headset worth it or not?
Answers:
Besides RF vs. infrared, there are a few more variables on the RF side:
1) Frequency of the RF. Higher frequency tend to require more line-of-sight than lower frequency. When I say high-ranking, I mean similar to 5GHz, and low like 900MHz.
2) Some headset are digital and some are analog. If you have a choice, catch the digital ones. In general they will enjoy superior sound since commotion and multipath distortion won't cause them to lose the signal as well. Also, they transmit error correction codes to fix up bit errors (as long as there aren't too many).
There is a decrease as to how powerful the RF signals can be by law, and most of the wireless receiver put out the legal aim, as far as I know.
They tend to purloin more abuse and are more sturdy. I never have any luck with the cheap ones. If you move about to Radio Shack they have adjectives qualities and price ranges. I usually run with the middle level. You definitely lose clarity and the really bleak ones have an annoying hum surrounded by the background. If your planning on using them profusely and need cordless, I'd buy better trait. I have a set of two of Sennheiser which are very honourable and I believe they were around $200. Bose also make a nice wireless pair, so I hear (no pun intended).
There are 2 different types. Radio frequency and infrared. Infrared tend to hold better sound but you enjoy to have a queue of site to the transmitter. This never worked well for me because I tend to totter around the house while listening.
