Pushing out 120 decibels these cans will emulate the sounds of a live Rock Concert, letting you soak up the detail in superb sound quality. Using a high frequency radio link at 2.4GHz, the HS1200 enables wireless movement without signal loss, up to 30 metre range, even transmitting through walls and ceilings. Designed for people with hearing loss, amplicomms has cleverly built the controls into the headphones with 3 preset sound effects for tone control to boost high frequency sounds - (extra treble, extra bass and a mix with extra treble/bass) and each ear has individual volume control for personal preferences. Sitting over the ears, the HS1200 cuts out surrounding noises with closed ear cups and is built with soft luxurious padding for long-term comfort. The headset will play continuously for up to 8 hours using one of two sets of supplied rechargeable batteries. With simultaneous recharge of the other set in the base, you’ll never be left without power. The HS1200 comes with a sturdy transmission base including various connections to fit Television, iPod/iPhone, MP3/MP4, HiFi systems and more. Simply connect the base to the sound source and get ready for Audio Glory!
