THE HAMMACHER SCHLEMMER INSTITUTE ANNOUNCES THE BEST WIRELESS HEADPHONES.

New York, NY, May 1st, 2008- Hammacher Schlemmer announces the selection of the Best Wireless Headphones, chosen by the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute over other models after rigorous testing of sound quality, range, comfort, and ease of use.

The Hammacher Schlemmer Institute conducts systematic testing of leading products, often working in concert with experts, independent laboratories, or consumer panels to analyze results and determine which products are "The Best".

With the transmitter in the basement of a two-story home, research analysts tested signal reception range on the second floor and outdoors. The Best Wireless Headphones demonstrated crystal-clear reception 20 feet further from the transmitter than lesser headphones and, unlike other units, the Best Wireless Headphones' signal was unaffected when used near a microwave and other electronic appliances.

"The Best Wireless Headphones recorded the highest score in every metric," confirmed Tara-Ann Dugan, Product Research Manager. "And panelists confirmed the superior sound produced by the best headphones."

Panelists' ratings for sound quality found that the Best Wireless Headphones were favored 2 to 1 over lesser models, thanks to the 40 mm stereo driver that delivers deep bass frequencies and crisp sound that captures the nuances of recordings.

Scoring highest for ease of use, the unit's transmitter serves as the recharging platform, and the headphones have an inner headband that automatically turns off the power when the headphones are removed from your head. Panelists agreed that the Best Wireless Headphones were the most comfortable to use, due to their soft, ergonomic earcup design and forgiving headband.

The transmitter's multiple inputs allow seamless connection to a host of media devices, and the rechargeable battery lasts up to seven hours after a three-hour charge. The Best Wireless Headphones are available from Hammacher Schlemmer for $229.95. For more information, please visit www.hammacher.com or call 1-800-543-3366.
