3 out of 5 stars good, basic wireless headphone   August 26, 2010
eMCee (Chicago, IL USA)
Currently have 2 of these, and have given some away as gifts.

GOOD:
- cheap (when on sale)
- reasonable sound quality
- comfortable
- easy to hookup and use

BAD:
- IR range is somewhat limited (line-of-sight)
- sound quality is not that good at higher volumes
- durability not quite as hoped - my father-in-law blew his out quickly
- battery life is only fair



5 out of 5 stars Very good   August 24, 2010
Jen
Battery great when put back into charging station between use, but runs low if not. Easy to use, but input jack sometimes comes loose. Seems durable so far; time will tell.


1 out of 5 stars uncomfotable!   August 23, 2010

I am really disappointed with this product. I have always had good luck with Sony but these are uncomfotable and have about 5 ft. of range. Bad product Sony.


3 out of 5 stars Barely adequate but it does the job   August 21, 2010
Pedro A. Vera (Reston, VA United States)
I have previously owned a really good pair of Sennheiser RF headphones, and I have a kid with autism that doesn't understand when he is playing his TV too loud, so after a lot of grief I taught him how to use the cordless headphones. He liked them because he could run around and still hear everything, and nobody would bother him because the TV was too loud.

When the Sennheisers died I picked up two pairs of these Sony headphones, hoping to have one set on his TV, one set on his iMac.

Problems:

1. These earphones are single frequency. You can't have two pairs in the same general area because there is going to be some interference as soon as the base station coverage overlaps.

2. These earphones are infrared, not RF. This means that they must be in line-of-sight of the base station. Even walking in front of them will cut off the signal. A kid playing with these earphones will hear the cutoff the second he walks beyond the beam from the base station. With RF earphones, he can walk around up until the maximum reach and still hear the signal.

That said, and within their limits, they do work. The kid refuses to touch them, but they are still useful to us. The way our family room and my home office are arranged, the base station connected to my wife's laptop interferes with the base station connected to my HDTV. This is fixed simply by moving one of the base stations. It is not a perfect arrangement, but for the cost they do work. I use mine mostly to play video games, the sound is decent, and the headsets are weightless when compared to my Sennheisers.

I don't regret the purchase, but I would have switched to a different model had I noticed that they are single channel. I am even willing to live with the tradeoff between RF and infrared, but the single channel thing almost had me return them.



4 out of 5 stars Great product for price   August 20, 2010
P. Archibald (St. Francis, KS USA)
I got these to use while on the treadmill. They work great, my family can watch TV at its normal sound level and I can hear perfectly from across the room. They were easy to set up, very comfortable. The only time I have static is when another electrical item comes between the TV and the headset (like the fan of the treadmill). I would highly recommend this product. I love them.
