Q: If I purchase a pair, will both work with one transmitter plugged in? My current pair will function like this, but at 10 years old, it might be time to upgrade

A: Evidently the new models don’t function like the older models. My 10 & 12 year old Sony headphones only require one tower/transmitter to be plugged in and both sets receive sound. This model doesn’t seem to function that way. Wish I knew this before ordering.

Q: If have my soundbar connected to my Sony OLED A9G TV by HDMI ARC. Can I connect my WH-L600 RF wireless headphones to the TV by the optical connection at the same time? I want to leave my sound bar connected by hdmi arc AND headphones connected by optical?

A: Yes absolutely. That is exactly how my setup is here at home. I have a soundbar using my HDMI eARC and I plug my headphones directly into the optical port on my Sony TV. It works flawlessly.

Q: Can I replace the battery by myself?

A: No, the battery is built-in.

Q: While I’m using the head phone, can my husband still hear the tv?

A: yes. If you increase the volume on the tv & your connections from the speakers & headphones are connected in separate output.

Q: I am looking for a new pair of headphones to watch movies when the family is sleeping. I would like to have surround integrated, but really want it to just sound good. Would the l600 be a better movie option than Sony - WH-1000XM4 just for movies?

A: I’m terms of ease of use I think so. The surround on these isn’t great but their normal sound is pretty good. Also since they’re RF they’ll have lower latency and you won’t have to fiddle with TV settings to reconnect them like the 1000XM4. The most you’ll do with these is change the output on a receiver and just put the headphones on.

Q: Can you add a 2nd pair of headphones to listen in? Or do you need a 2nd tower to do so?

A: I expect you will need two towers, in fact I don't think you can buy the headphones without the tower.
