RF Headphones

What should I consider when choosing radio frequency headphones?

USB transmitter, transmitting station

• Radiofrequency headphones with USB transmitter - have a range of about 10-12 metres from the playback device and can be connected to a laptop or desktop PC. Perfect for use at home or on the go. Radio frequency headphones are inserted into the USB port on playback device.
• Radiofrequency headphones with transmitting station - have a range of up to 100 metres from the playback device. Due to the increased size and weight of the broadcast station, they are only suitable for home use. Broadcast stations connect with most players via a 3.5mm jack, fibre-optic cable or RCA.
