Infrared on-ear headphones with selectable channel A/B for separate listening. Designed for rear-seat car entertainment with a family-friendly approach.
Separate Listening for Two Passengers – with selectable infrared channels A and B
Two channel selection allows left/right frequencies on channel A and channel B, listed as CH A: L/2.3MHz, R/2.8MHz and CH B: L/3.2MHz, R/3.8MHz. Switching between A and B directs infrared audio streams independently to paired headsets.
Two children can watch different programmes on the same headrest DVD player without audio interference. Ideal for siblings who prefer different films on the same journey.
Long Playback Between Battery Changes – thanks to battery-efficient design and automatic shut-off
Power comes from two AAA batteries (not included), which provide up to 20 hours of continuous operation according to the manufacturer, and an automatic shut-off prevents unnecessary drain when left on.
A single set of batteries should easily cover long drives, and the automatic shut-off helps avoid flat batteries when headphones are accidentally left switched on.
Comfortable and Easy to Store – with soft earmuffs, retractable headband and supplied storage bag
Soft on-ear cushions combine with a flexible, retractable headband for a comfortable fit across ages, while a foldable design allows compact packing into the included storage bag. A wired 3.5mm AUX cable is supplied for non-IR use.
Comfortable for extended wear and simple to tuck away between trips. Wired fallback ensures continued playback if batteries run low or IR is unavailable.
