I own one of these units (purchased via Heathkit) and they suffer
from a lot of static.  The headphones are unconfortable and keep
slipping off your head.  Unless you adjust the volume on the source
just right, the sound keeps popping on and off.

All and all, I would say that until this technology is vastly improved,
stay away from it at all costs unless you happen to love static.
