User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Great for Seniors
I purchase these headphones for my Dad who is very hard of hearing, He and my mother love them, He can watch TV with the mute on and still hear great through the headphones and does not bother anyone with a loud TV set anymore.

5 Stars Great Product
Purchased one set for myself and was so impressed I had to purchase another for my elderly mother. She loves the clarity the headphones provide. A great product for anyone struggling with clearly hearing the television.

4 Stars Good with reservations
Basically I love it! good reception and I can watch tv late at night when I get home without disturbing anyone. The one issue I have is that the controls sometimes get knocked out of kilter by the pillow. So if you are sitting up its great but if you are lying down like sick in bed you may move and then have to readjust the settings.

4 Stars Try’em you’ll like them
Worked great right out of the box. For the price I think they are great. there is a small amount of distortion and your ears will sweat with the right conditions. But battery life is long and it will go long distances away from house. I’m satisfied.

4 Stars Why bother with TV ear?
I bought this for my dad with hearing problem as TV ear. He’s been extremely happy for what it does: no more fight over volume level with mom, no more guessing on drama content and being able to enjoy music once again. Sound quality is not bad for the facts that it’s radio transmitted and the price is less than 100. Highly recommended

5 Stars These are not self discharging
This is the only kind of battery to buy, The hybreds don’t self discharge like regular NIMAs. Does Anyone want a a bunch of NIMAs that are dead when you are ready for use???

5 Stars Simply Awesome.
I always hated NIMH batteries because they lose their charge so fast. I have 20 year old NiCad rechargeables that work better. However, neither type stands up the new “low self-discarging” (LSD) NIMH batteries that Eneloop has popularized. I installed Eneloops in both my Wii Remote and Balance Board. They have held their charge over six months now and have worked flawlessly throughout this time. According the Wii Remote I still have 3 of 4 dots of power left.

I also have two AAA Eneloops that I installed into a Harmony Remote Control. Because the remote takes four batteries I also installed two new alkaline batteries. The alkalines have already wore out and need replacement yet the Eneloops are still going strong.

If you need batteries, just get these and you won’t be disappointed. If you don’t already own a battery recharger, the so-called Sanyo 277265 Eneloop Power Pack with Battery Charger, 8 AA & 2 AAA Batteries Plus 4 C & 4 D Size Adapter (CostCo Kit #2) is a good place to start.

3 Stars Decent Batteries
I was looking for a good rechargeable battery with at least 2000 mAh. I decided to buy eight each of the following three types of batteries:

Duracell DC1500B4N Rechargeable AA NiMH Batteries (2650 mAh)

Powerex AA 2700mAh Rechargeable NiMH Batteries (2700 mAh)

Sanyo Eneloop AA NiMH Pre-Charged Rechargeable Batteries (2000 mAh)

I’m posting this same review for all three batteries.

I also bought a La Crosse BC-9009 battery charger (which, apart from the manual, is quite excellent). This charger gives you the option to test battery capacity, so I used it on the 24 batteries that I bought. Granted, a sample space of 24 batteries is quite small, but it’s good enough.

The Duracells came in at 1547, 1399, 951, 2200, 2220, 2180, 940 and 905 mAh for an average of 58% of rated capacity (avg. 1543 mAh / 2650 mAh).

The Powerex came in at 2620, 2560, 2570, 2630, 2440, 2470, 1318 and 1053 mAh for an average of 82% of rated capacity (avg. 2208 mAh / 2700 mAh).

The Sanyos came in at 1940, 1867, 1931, 1961, 1856, 734, 1786 and 1895 mAh for an average of 87% of rated capacity (avg. 1746 mAh / 2000 mAh).

Although the Sanyos 87% is better than the Powerex’s 82%, the powerex comes out better from a cost perspective. The Duracell’s were not even in the running.

In September 2009, for 8 batteries, the Duracells cost me $22.22, the Powerexs cost me $25.98 and the Sanyos cost $24.41.

Based on this, the Powerex’s cost $1.47 per Ah. The Sanyo’s were $1.74 per Ah and the Duracells were $1.80 per Ah.

Given all this, I’d say the Sanyo’s were decent, the Duracell’s were losers, but when I need more batteries I’ll stick with the Powerexs.

5 Stars Amazing!
Don’t bother with any other rechargeable batteries, these things are the best I’ve ever used. Their longevity is absurd. You can leave them sitting around in a drawer or even leave them in the item you are using them for months at a time and they are still charged. Got them initially for my Canon PowerShot SX10IS and was worried about having to recharge AA batteries constantly, but these completely allayed my fears. Love them!

5 Stars Long Life; Good Capacity
I am not a battery expert, but I do know that these things hold their charge for a LONG time. I have these Eneloops and I have Energizers. (I use both for my GPS and my daughters camera.) While the Energizers have greater capacity than the Eneloops, the Eneloops definitely hold their charger longer.

If my calculations are correct, my Eneloops have about a 2000 mha capacity.

4 Stars Better than buying disposal batteries
I purchased these batteries to use with my digital camera. They work great and were worth the purchase.

5 Stars Perfect for digital camera
Not sure how Duracell did it, but they solved the one con with the Ni-mH type batteries. These pre-charged, Ni-mH batteries don’t discharge when not being used, so they’re perfect for digital devices. This charger with 4 batteries doesn’t cost much more than just the 4 batteries alone. Here’s what you do: acquire twice as many of these batteries w/ the green label as what your digital camera will take. While you’re using one set in your camera keep the other set in this charger. Then, when the set in the camera go dead, just swap them out with the set that’s in the charger. You’ve always got a set of fresh batteries and no waiting for batteries to charge, plus no buying batteries for a long time. This is more expensive initially but saves a lot of $$$ in the long run.

1 Star Duracell rechargable – NiMH Batteries
At the beginning the charger was doing it’s job, but now the batteries don’t hold the charge as advertised. Very dissapointed with this item.

5 Stars Super service!
I found out that I couldn’t get a small tape recorder from Radio Shack locally so I went to Amazon.com to order it on August 1. The charger was ordered at that time also. I wanted it for my friend’s birthday on the 5th. I was very happy that it arrived on time–I think on the 3rd of August.

Thanks, Madeline Ashley

5 Stars It works well
Batteries are fine, the charger works fine. No problems. It keeps my stuff powered, and haven’t given me problems at all..

It’s a NO-BS product. Get it if you need rechargeable batteries and a charger…
