A:Answer This is a design deficiency in what are otherwise acceptable, lightweight headphones with good sound quality. The problem arises because it is necessary for the contact pins on the top of the base to mate securely with the corresponding pin contacts located in the center of the headphone headband. First - don't turn the headphones off! Leave them on. The blue light should be on and steady. Place the headphones carefully on the base stand, preferably with the headphone blue light facing the same direction as the blue light on the base. The blue lights may flicker for a short period if the headphones have to rock back and forth to settle, but the red light will come on in a few seconds. Autoqueen, you have my sympathies, as this design flaw drove me nuts until I figured out what the manufacturer expected we users to know. It's not like their documentation covers this issue. Otherwise, IMHO, you more or less get what you pay for in a set of headphones in this price range. I have a much better set for serious listening, of course - something like this is OK for TV, streaming, digital radio, etc., but not for listening to Mahler, Puccini or Brahms.
