Utter garbage. Loose parts rattling around inside the base station. Nothing happens when I plug it in.

Not the first time this has happened to me, either: the "tea lights" never worked, either.

Pretty much done with ThingFling if this isn't resolved.

How do I get my money back?

Dancing mine works great. everything else in the box was pretty much crap, tho. I got a broken stick-up-light that came with corroded batteries. But, again, the headphones work wonderfully!

I miss the AMBs that I'd get like a year or 2 ago that were so overloaded with awesome stuff!

Posted a ticket. We'll see how that goes.

Also, the "Edit by User" link beneath my post is non-functional. It just goes to the "Oh, Noes!" page every time. Sheesh.

When I got my first pair of these wireless headphones I thought they were great.

+ The actual headset is solid and comfortable.
+ Nice and clear sounding.
• The base is made of plastic but it seems solid enough as long as you don't plan on throwing it around.
- The cables coming out of the base are not anchored solidly. There is a little play where they can slide in and out.
+ The headset includes an easy to operate on/off switch and volume control.
- The range is not all that great but, for me, these work good enough to use around the house.
• The base does not have an on off switch but does have a green LED on indicator light. This wasn't a problem at first. I hooked up the base and turned on the headset and the on LED light came on and everything worked great. After charging the headset for a few hours I turned it on again and nothing. No green on LED light on the base (and no on/off switch). The headset seemed to flash red indicating there was no source signal. I finally figured out though that in order for the base to come on it actually not only has to be plugged into a sound source (which it was) but the sound source also has to have sound coming from it. If the base does not detect sound it will not turn on. This seemed a little odd to me but once I figured out why the base wasn't coming on, the headset has been great. I like them enough that I have now ordered another pair for a friend.

Overall, a great wireless headset, especially for the price.
