I had this model headphones and was totally happy with it until it went mono on me. Purchased a set from a brand name supplier and the bass was boosted so much and the high frequencies attenuated so much that the background, like car traffic, roared and to the hear the spoken words it needed the use of closed captioning. Returned after hassle. Reading other reviews i found others wished, like myself, that Sony hadn't discontinued this model. My original problem was in the headset, not the transmitter so i bought another headset knowing in advance it's sound was acceptable and i wouldn't run into poor sound again.

We had an older Sony Headset that my husband loved and thought this might be a good replacement. BUT in our old set if the audio output was not stereo, what sound there was still came to both ears. With this headset you only get sound in both ears if the source is stereo. If the source in not stereo the sound comes only to the LEFT ear. Because my husband is hard of hearing with better hearing in his right ear than his left, that did not work for him and we returned the headset.

The sound is great, the distance is good, the way you charge them is impressive (no contact needed for charging, is magnetic transmission of energy).. but the connectors included is just a RCA L/R cable with a headphone jack connector... no connection for a digital toslink audio out from sound system or TV (check if your TV has audio out or headphone jack... very important, not all TV has the audio out) But beside that is great investment that will last you at least 10 years... my previous Sony headphone last me that long until now... that I decide to upgrade to this new model. Great Headphones, not heavy at all, have a ergonomic shape for your ear, auto power off, and I love them. Enjoy it!
These headphones are great, I like that they are comfortable and easy to recharge. Also, they only turn on when they are on your head so that helps with energy conserving. However, the sound quality could use improvement. I usually get small static while listening to music through my computer. I usually end up having to retune the headphones to another frequency. Besides that they work ok but I would try another type for better quality sound such as Bose or Beats by Dr Dre.
Excellent headphones! Great sound quality. I can now turn up my favorite music or TV to volumes to hear clearly without disturbing others in the house. The batteries last good and the cradle/stand is so easy to place headphones on for charging. There are no wires to connect or contacts to join for charging. Sony has provided a magnetic type contact on the stand where you just place headphones when not in use and they are recharged. The headphones turn on automatically when you place them on your head and cut off when you remove them, saving battery power. They are very light weight and comfortable to wear, and have volume control right on the ear piece. Very easy to connect to your stereo system, TV, or any device having sound or headphone output. They even come with a phono plug adapter for a larger size headphone connection. Another neat feature is that if you forget to place headphones on stand and recharge but want to use them without waiting for recharge, you can easily put standard AAA battteries in them for instant use.Read full review
