Sony MDR-DS3000 Wireless Headphones

 

Watch movies late at night without waking the neighbors!

These headphones provide good sound quality. Compatible with Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro-Logic II and DTS surround sound. Quick integration with your home theater system

There is an annoying hiss during quiet phases. You will have to use analog connectors for DVD audio

Almost junk

 

For the price you would think they would work with out any static.I purchased this for my inlaws who just bought a plasma TV and there is so much static it is unuseable. I am using the headphone at home with a tube TV pluged into my panasonic digital...

Infrared instead of RF. Easy set up. Recharable batteries and base. 1/8 mini jack to mini audio cable included

No Audio mini plug cables included. Sound is ok lacks bass ; Constant low static sound.Dose not work with Plasma TV's
