So how does this gadget stand-out from among the dozen wireless receivers out there? The whole package is separated into two parts----the receiver, which is the headset, and the transmitter, which is plugged into your audio source, say for example, your laptop or desktop. As a power source, the whole set requires 4 AAA batteries which could provide enough juice for up to 40 hours listening time.
The WR700 maximum wireless distance is about 33ft depending on the battery charge. It is compatible with systems using the typical 3.55mm or the larger 6.33mm port.
If you’re wearing something in your head, it goes without saying that it should complement, not degrade your appearance, and this headphone is one fine set of accessory. One look at the TDK WR700 headset gives an impression of a straight-forward headset, complete with a solid frame, thus giving off a classy effect. The black cushions around the band and the earpiece is a good companion to the metallic frame.
It would be to no surprise if you garner some head turns while using this device. Aside from its looks, the WR700 is comfortable to use even on long hours. The foldable earpieces also provide decent noise isolation but they tend to get warm on the ears.
The transmitter on the other hand compliments the style of the headset but is somewhat awkwardly big when partnered with mobile MP3s or phones. Going about with this thing in your pocket is uncomfortable as it gives an awkward bulge.
On the other hand, using it with a laptop or a PC is fine unless you use it on an ultra-slim laptop which could pose a problem because the latter may be slimmer than the transmitter itself.
Again, the WR700 is powered with Kleer technology, which has is somewhat different from the typical Bluetooth sets in the market. Having no wires to deliver quality audio, wireless accessories tend to suffer in maintaining the integrity of the audio being transmitted, and this is what Kleer remedies. Kleer delivers high-quality sounds at lower power consumption compared to Bluetooth counterparts.
Also, it can tune several headsets in only one mother receiver instead of the typical 1-is-to-1.
The TDK WR700 makes it in my list of best headsets I had reviewed. However, I can’t help but frown at the large and bulky transmitter.
Despite having that clunky thing inside your pocket, TDK’s WR700 is a reliable headset capable of delivering top-class tunes even when no physical connection is present.
Now that’s what you call wireless high-fidelity!
