A few other observations:
It is so awesome to be able to walk around so freely listening to music. If you adjust the wires a little shorter to hug the base of your skull, it doesn't flop around and is very very comfortable. I was working on my computer a bit, crawling around the back on the ground, all the while listening to music. Aside from the high noise floor, the sound is clear, doesn't break up, and sounds pretty much like the wired version. It's warmer and a little bit congested compared to wired connection. The little bit of etra bass is perfect. Those wanting a ++Bass port should just get the W-1 Adapter. The wireless range is incredible. It breaks up for a split second when I go my farthest closet and close the door, then it's prefectly fine.
A note about the power switches. Difficult to access, they are behind the power port cover. You have open it up and use a pen tip or paperclip to move the switch. I would've prefered a more easily accessible switch, where it was recessed but still accessible with a fingernail. Now if the W-1 were weather sealed, that would be another story.
The Charging ports are NOT mini USB as I had previously thought. They are that new Micro USB connector or a proprietary connector. Not the older one, the wider one that cell phone manufacturers are starting to use. I really would've preferred the older Mini USB connector, as it's not really any smaller, same width, but thinner. Doesn't buy enough size decrease IMO. If it is proprietary, I could see that it's so, because the current requirement is listed as 200mA on both the Transmitter and Receiver units. But that's if the dual charging cable even splits the current in half. That would leave just enough from the voltage drop.
So, the W-1 does not come with an AC Adapter Charger, just the dual charging cable. Any USB port, or USB Charger will work. I used a Blackberry charger, which happens to have a USB port on it and outputs 500mA current.
