GREAT PRODUCT FOR THE PRICE

Very Pleased

I've owned a set of these for two years now and love them. The kids can watch a movie while we have guests and no one is bothered by the tv. I'm buying more so that when they have frieds over they can all wear a set.

Worked Fine for Me

Dunno about the review above but when I used it with my Sony Wega TV (My infrared recieve is integrated into the TV) it works perfectly. The sound is very clear, almost as clear as wired headphones. Good deal if you want the Sony brand name.
