1 out of 5 stars C-R-A-P   November 16, 2008
It is the frst purchase of wireless headset I made. I recently bought a 42" Bravia, with the blu-ray reader, and a home theater system. I am globally very happy of it. But, it is difficult to enjoy it once the kids are in bed... Ok, I had already put down 2500$, so why not put an extra 100$? I therefore went to Best buy and found this set. The only one truly available. Plus, it was from Sony, so I thought it was the best fist for my system.

Well, I hate it. Truly, this is the worst purchase I amde. I am right now looking for my ticket to turn it back. I hate is soo much, especially as I expected so much out of it.

I cannot complain too much about the quality of the sound. It is globally ok.

What is really bothering about the headset is the way it charges and the battery liftime (like mentionned in other reviews above).

It is sooo bad that I cannot tolerate Sony puts it on the market. It is an ok headset, sound-wise, but it is truly not useable:

- The battery will drain if not on the headset.
- To align correctly the headset requires special skills. If not properly aligned, it will drain.
- Even if aligned, a little something will make it misaligned, and therefore it will drain.

Now after just 3 weeks, the batteries are just permanently drained. The battery is dead, and will therefore not charge anymore. I spent 100$ on it, and only watched 6h, total of movie time. Also to be mentionned that at first charge, I only could watch 1:45min of movie before battery went bad. So do not choose to watch the ten commendments when you use it.

I hate it. Although, Sony provides on average quality items for the standard consumer, this item is just C-R-A-P!

I hope this review just avoids any more consummers from buying it.

Broke as I was taking them out of the package, never even had a chance to try them. I spent alot of money for nothing.


4 out of 5 stars Very Nice!   October 15, 2008
These headphones work great!!! Good sound. Easy recharging. Very convenient on and off. The only drawback is they pick up some moderate interference occasionally. I haven't been able to figure out what it is from yet. Moving my head seems to mitigate it most of the time. It may be because I have the transmitter crammed between my stereo equipment and the TV. I still recommend them.


4 out of 5 stars Great Product for the Price   September 10, 2008
Being 70% deaf I bought these to enjoy tv again. They do that job very well. No problems with the turning off mentioned. They are a bit bulky but are very comfortable to wear. I go all over the house and never lose the sound. Great!


4 out of 5 stars Sony earphones   August 27, 2008
I bought these headphones about a year ago. I think they are awesome. My wife is totally happy now she can go to bed and not hear the tv. I use them every day and there is sometimes static but not enough to bother me. The distance I can walk away from the tv is awesome too. If I would have read these reviews for this product, I would have never bought it. So I thought I better put in my two cents. I also just bought another headset today
at Best Buy for $104 for my parents, but I am going to take them back and get it from Amazon saving about 30 bucks.
