• A:Answer These headphones sound good while Bluetoothed. I believe the range is from 5 HZ to 22KHZ. These also come with a wire and you will get more range 3HZ to 28KHZ when wired. So you get the best of both. I will tell you that I am listening to them wirelessly right now and they sound great.

Q: QuestionWould these headphones be good in a gym?

Asked 9 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer I have these headphones and I go to the gym 4-5 days a week. I never take these to the gym. 3 reasons they won't work well in a gym: 1. I think the big earpads would soak up a ton of sweat, and possibly get moldy. 2. if your exercise includes running like mine does, or even situps, the headphones are so big and bulky that they would most likely fall off. 3. they stick off of your head pretty far and I would feel awkward wearing these giant headphones as I worked out. I stick with earbuds. If this answer was helpful please give kudos, and if it answers your question please select it so that it can help others find the answer as well. Thank you!

Q: QuestionHow do you recharge the battery? One of the reviews stated that it did not come with a charger.

Asked 11 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer It comes with a USB to Micro USB charger cable. You have to hook the cable up to a USB port and the micro side to the headset for it to charge. Full charge from full depletion takes around 4 hours.

Q: Question.looking for headphones that my wife can control her volume while watching TV.

Asked 9 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer I would double check with the TV brand and make sure they're compatible with these headphones (Sony MDR-XB950BT). They work great for controlling the volume on my phone, ipad, and computer, so I imagine they will work for your TV as long as it's compatible.

Q: QuestionCould these headphones be used for gaming (PS4)I have been looking for a good gaming headset, and a good music listening set. It sounds like this could knock out both. However, could you communicate with people with the microphone, or is it a compatibility issue?

Q: Questionwill the sony headphone work with a mp3 player?

Asked 9 years ago by el.

• A:Answer Yes, they will work with anything that has a headphone jack. Most likely you will not be able to connect to your mp3 player with the wireless bluetooth connection though. You will have to use the aux cord and headphone jack. And the other downside to that is that when you use the aux cord, all of the controls on the headphones are disabled, such as the volume rocker, play/pause, skip, ect.

Q: QuestionI want to use these headphones with my pc, but the pc is not Bluetooth enabled. Will a Bluetooth adapter work and which one is recommended?I want to use these headphones with my pc, but the pc is not Bluetooth enabled. Will a Bluetooth adapter work and which one is recommended?

Asked 10 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer Any Bluetooth adapter for your PC will work with these particular Sony headphones. For example, I have a Dell XPS laptop from 2013 and my computer works perfectly with the headphones. I even am using a Bluetooth mouse at the same time. Therefore, if my old laptop's internal Bluetooth adapter works with the headphones, I am positive a new Bluetooth adapter purchased for your PC will work fine with these headphones. I have attached a picture of the Bluetooth Adapter I would go with.

Q: QuestionI left my headset uncharged for 2 weeks since the last time I used it until it shut down by low battery. And now when I finally get to connect it, it just flashes a dim blinking red light, More than 1 hour later and it's still like this, no charging.

Asked 6 years ago by Alex.

• A:Answer UPDATE (and not a good one) I left them connected for 10 hours and it still doesn't charge or turn on whatsoever and still has the dim flashing red light. Also I couldn't mention that when I connect the headset to my computer, it sounds as if it's getting connected and disconnected rapidly and continuously. I tried to reset and factory reset it but it doesn't respond to anything, no blue light or anything.
