 Sony Headphone July 22, 2008
This item was purchased to replace a similar item that lasted 12 years. It too was a Sony. The item arrived on time in new condition as advertised and works great. It should since it is a Sony.
Where have these been all my life?? So far so good! July 21, 2008
I just received them today, so I cant say much about the long term performance. I have to say, though, that these are fantastic in terms of convenience. I walked around my room (about 15'x15') then through a narrow doorway through a thin curtain! I was still able to hear it clearly. Of course a few more feet back and the sound cut off. But then I moved the curtain over, and I was able to go as far as the kitchen which is approx another 15' and keep in mind taht this is through a narrow doorway. I'm sure if this was in a completely open space, I could probably have gotten 30-40 ft. And this has only been charging for about 3 hrs.
In terms of sound, its fine. When compared this $40 headphone to my gf's $250 bose, it obviously isnt as good. It's fine for music/movies, plain and simple. I'd wish it had more bass, however. But it's so convenient, people say you have to sit directly in front of the pc, which doesnt seem to be true for me. I sat on my bed and listened to it fine. I simply just moved the base facing the bed and it was crystal clear (how hard is it to do that?)
If you want a headset that goes everywhere, get bluetooth, but good luck finding one with a replaceable battery. I love how you can use your own standard AAA battery, so no fears about that.
So far, I love it. Great value.
 Not a Great Performer July 17, 2008
Not impressed. had to send these back. They only work if you are directly in front of the sending unit, very much directly in front off. If you move at all, static city.
 Not good for Gaming July 16, 2008
You get what you pay for. It work very good for Tv show but not good for gaming purpose.
Grandmother loves it July 10, 2008
I bought these headphones for my Mom so that she can watch TV in the middle of the night at her retirement apartment. She loves them. And while they might not be great for music lovers, they're a lot better than listening through TV and VCR like she's been doing.
