I bought these for my wife so she could listen to TV while I get some sleep. She's very pleased with them. She was worried that they were too big, which they are big, but she hasn't complained about that since. The battery life is good between charges. She probably gets a weeks worth out of them before they need a charge. I set them up for her, and they found the signal and were connected to the TV right away, unlike the cheaper ones we had prior. Those you had to hit the scan button sometimes 50 times to lock onto the right signal every time you used them. The Sony's were 1st shot, and they stay locked on every time you use them. What a relief. My personal opinion on the sound quality is only fair, but I'm more of a critic when it comes to sound than my wife is. Maybe the sound would be different if hooked up to a stereo system rather than the TV? I don't know, haven't tried that yet. Anyway, good product, might buy another pair for backup.Read full review

These headphones are okay when they work. About half the time when taken off of the charger, the charger/transmitter box needs to be unplugged and plugged back in for the headphones to come on. Quite often the light on the box starts to blink and the headphones quit working until the box is unplugged and plugged back in again. A couple of days ago they wouldn't work at all, then started working again after charging them for a few hours. I suspect that the batteries may need to be replaced even though they are only a couple of months old. I replaced the batteries on an older set of Sony headphones (different model #) with higher capacity batteries with very good results. The sound quality is okay most of the time. Occasionally there will be some static which doesn't last very long; sometimes turning them slightly will improve the reception. A new set of batteries may improve the reception as well.Read full review

This is a gift for a 95 yr old man with hearing loss, spoken word clarity. He has not received it yet. I attached the headphones to my TV and listened with them. I have my own Sony headphones but an older model that I love. The design on this set is less secure than my own older pair, in that it slips a bit on my head if I look down or get up while wearing them. I am worried that they will slip on the recipient's bald head as well but hoping his head is larger than mine and it will be fine. There is an on/off switch on the headphones which will be an extra step when not in use, remembering to turn them off. My personal set is only engaged when it sits on my head so no on/off button. Mine recharges in a cradle recharger unit. This set recharges as it engages with the electrical units on the top of the stand when the headphones are placed on it, as pictured. These are just differences in models and both require just using them and getting USED to how they work. The bottom line is that your quality of hearing the spoken word in news programs, favorite tv shows, music, etc will be measurably improved as will your enjoyment!!! THAT is priceless!Read full review

I've owned these for four months now and use them quite a bit. As a general rule, the sound quality of modern HD television sets pretty much stinks to the the high heavens. The solution is to beef up your sound with after market speakers and amplifiers in order to get decent sound. Or, you can purchase something like these headphones as a quick and cheap solution to the problem. If you are hard of hearing it's an obvious answer to needing more volume while not driving anyone else out of the room. You just sit there with these things hanging off your head. You won't even hear the laughter of whomever is there with you. Sound quality is quite good considering the price. They're not as crisp as they could be but I can live with that. For listening to televised music they're a real godsend. Plenty of bass, for sure.Read full review

For a refurb item that means to me that something was wrong with them and they were returned for whatever reasons. So I took chance and bought one which surprised me that they worked so well beyond expectations that I immediately bought another one for my wife. Now we can each listen to different sound sources since they plug into just about anything with an audio output jack. And there are no more "sound wars" between me and my wife turning up the volume trying to drown the other one out so we can hear the programs. She listens to books on her boom box and at the same time I watch Netflix movies. For the price, as long as you don't expect perfect sound quality they can not be beat.
