Author's Review
I Bought these Headphone a little while ago.The Sound is out-standing but that is it's only Truly Good thing.
The Battery System that comes with the Headphones don't last long, at about 1/2 Volume {on the headphones) they only last about 4.25-4.75 Hours, with a 3-4 hour recharge time.The Headphone battery cover is weak, and feels, and looks like it break quickly if you open, and close it often.Energizer Alkaline Battery only last 3 hours at best.Energizer 2500mah Rechargeable Batteries Last 4 hours, witch makes using them for any long term times impossible.Although Sony Says the Headphones give you a warning that the Batteries are almost dead it has never worked for me.
The Range is very sad. My Bathroom is about 12 Feet away From the Transmitter.The Signal tends to Drop in and out from that Short distance.
The Headphone hock-up to the TV is a Poor connectivity.The Headphone Eye Pad Have already Cost me in Replacements sense they are poorly made, and have low last time.The Optical Digital Connection Work ok, but the Pass Threw never works no matter how much money you spend in Optical Digital Connecting Cables you buy.For the Cost Sony Charges for these Headphones you'd think the connectivity worked right, and came with a better set of Connector Cables.
The Headphone do fit your Head nicely but only if you keep you head at a 75 105 deg Strait up you look down or up to much the headphones seem to fall off easily.The self Adjusting Head Bad Barely works and The Rubbery Band Grabs your hair and pulls it out, or at-least that what it does to me if I'm not care-full on taken it off.
I Bought Sony Wireless Headphone because, the last set of Wireless headphones I got From Sony lasted very Long, and other Wireless headphone system I got never lasted more than a Year, and unless you want to buy 2 or more Wireless Headphones {so one can Charge while you use the others} or feel very lucky {With the Poorly made/Designed Battery Cover} you can change battery allot.
If you intend to buy these Headphones you will need a sec. pair, and a few ext. Ear Pads.
