Upon buying the Philips SBC-HC8410 Cordless Headphones, I have to admit, I wasn't too sure I had bought the right set of headphones as I tested them for the first time. However, the more I've used them the better the experience has become.
A bit of tweaking and I have sorted out a few issues I wasn't too happy with.
I use the HC8410 on my PC, and I found that if the volume control on the headphones is high then hissing can become an issue, however, by turning it down on the headphones and turning it up on the PC media player/General Volume Control I can listen to loud, quality music without hiss.
The power saver which switches off when there is no sound source can be a little annoying, if there is no sound source that is loud and long enough for the Base station to kick back into action then pc beeps won't sound.
Also, same issue, the base station takes a couple of seconds to kick back into action, so I usually don't hear the first two seconds of the first song I play- which I can get around if I talk into my mic.
Of course the quality isn't going to be as good as corded headphones... but its close enough for me!
Definitely a good buy, you just have to make a few minor adjustments to suite your needs.

The Philips SBC-HC8410 is my first pair of cordless headphones and I am extremely impressed. The headphones are high quality and comfortable and the sound performace is excellent. There is little or no interference even when walking around the house a lot. This is without even using the 3 available channels.
I have tested them on numerous devices - TV, DVD, HiFi, PS2, Laptop and each one gives very good quality sound.
Having read the other reviews, I would have to disagree about the backgr ...
