Sony MDR-RF970RK Wireless Headphones Reviewed

 

Because they are wireless, these Sony headphones give you freedom to roam up to about 150 feet from your audio source without being tethered to it. The system can operate on three frequencies and when you put the headphones back in the cradle of the...

The radio link quality is pretty disappointing. I see no reason why my cordless phone can work perfectly out to my mailbox, but these headphones fall apart simply by moving through a few rooms. Sony should let channel changes be made from the...

Awesome

 

I use these headphones for work and it is so convenient that they are wireless and that they can be recharged when I am done for the day. Install was easy just plug and play.

They turn off once you take them off your head to save energy. They use rechargeable batteries. Long range

They are very big but I can live with it

Awesome Headphones!

They Work Fine For Me

 

I should start by saying I got these primarily for watching DVDs on TV. Unfortunately, I'm getting deaf in such a way that I was having trouble making out all the words - even at high volume. Problem solved. Voices are now clear as a bell. Hooray! I...
