Good quality from Sony

I've used these headphones for about a month. The problem with wireless headphones is the "static" that is sometimes present. I have the setup connected through a typical headphone jack, which I believe is the reason I can hear some of this "noise" but...

Best of the Best

If you have a PS3 or have Fiber Optic hookups. These headphones are a must buy!

Doesn't Work in a Wireless World

"Don't buy this product if you have 2.4ghz wireless phones or WiFi. Unless you stay within 3 feet of the transmitter, the interference will cause the signal to drop. I also have the 900 MHz Sony wireless headphones (MDR-RF970R) for normal use and was...

Good Sound Quality

Wireless Phones and WiFi cause interference

Highly Recommended

These work just as I had hoped. I get a clear, static and interference free sound from my television. The base station transmittion/charger hooks up to either your television or cable box. The headset receives the sound wire free. This allows me to...
