Arctic P531 Headset

Go wireless with your music

Wireless signal connection for cord free and uninterruptible sound transmission ; 24 ft. wireless range from the headset to the transmitter ; Light weight and durable ; Open air design ; Rechargeable battery that recharges when placed on the...

Some users have reported some hiss and static type noises, but this has not been confirmed as an outstanding issue ; As with all rechargeable batteries, they become worn over time and begin to lose charge

These headphones are reasonably priced but lack in a range for operation, therefore it is given a 3.5 rating.
