Pleased UNTIL these died completely

I've had these for about 6 months. They sound great and work very well far from the source. To me the most important part of the headphones is how comfortable they feel. These feel good, but I eventually feel the need to remove them [perhaps it's the...

Light wt, easy to use, battery will not charge correctly

We bought the 900 MHZ unit because of its light wt. and distance of use. We spent the first 48 hr charging it like directed, it should have taken 24 hr., but the light did go off finally. The unit worked great all around the house with very little...

Product Specifications

Now, with the wireless MDR-RF975RK headphones you have the true freedom of mobility. Wireless design lets you move inside and outside your house and still enjoy music and TV sound, and lets you turn up the volume late at night without disturbing others 50m (150 Foot) Transmission Range takes enjoyment upstairs, downstairs, virtually everywhere in your home and outside in your backyard. 900 MHz Radio Frequency (RF) Transmission provides better sound quality and greater range than earlier wireless systems, and uses the same advanced technology as 900MHz cordless telephones. Mute Function helps eliminate noise through the headphones and cuts out the sound when no audio signal is available. 30mm Diameter Driver Units are larger than many portable headphones for deeper bass, lower distortion and wider dynamic range; low frequency response extends down to 20Hz. PET diaphragms ensure high rigidity for minimum distortion, and low mass brings out excellent high-frequency response. Comfortable Closed Circumaural Headphones fit securely for maximum frequency response reception and the double headband with self-adjusting mechanism conforms to the curve of your head for a fit that stays comfortable even during extended listening sessions. Noise Reduction transmission System eliminates most of the static noise. Built-in Rechargeable Ni-MH Batteries are more convenient than ordinary replaceable batteries, and when fully charged provide hours of operating power, easy Rechargeable Battery System automatically charges the headphones when placed onto the transmitter. 3 Transmission Channels Available help ensure optimum signal reception; convenient tuning control on headphones. Automatic Power On/Off for both headphones and transmitter conserves battery life; transmitter turns on when it senses an input signal; headphones turn on when you place them on your head. AFM Transmission System resists static and distortion for higher fidelity; convenient sliding selector control on the side of the transmitter. Automatic Tuning is implemented on Headphones for best reception of signal.
