Q: QuestionI have a Sony wireless head set model # mdrrf985r with charge station can I use whrf400rf I need a new head set my ear pices are all torn and worn out thank you

Asked 6 years ago by Chuck.

• A:Answer Personally, I'd look into buying the replacement ear cushion for your 985r set, and keep them if they're still at all functional. The sound quality or the 985r is so much superior to the garbled crap that comes out of the RF400.` The 985R does a great job of muffling out the ambient room noise, where as the RF400 doesn't. This becomes problematic when listening to the TV using the headphones while someone else is using the TV sound. Being able to hear both really sets up an echo.

• A:Answer Hi, Connecting, The base is not just a charger. It is the stereo transmitter that needs to be connected to a TV, digital music player, etc.: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/res/manuals/4743/da265ba85491320863fd7b2651202bb7/47438071M.pdf -Vincent

Q: QuestionDo they offer these with multiple headphones? All i can find is one pair of headphones. Do they sell them separately that will connect to the same unit? Thanks, Lucas

Asked 6 years ago by Lucas.

• A:Answer I purchased one item—a headphone that was packaged in a box. It plugs into the TV. That is, it is not Bluetooth but rather the receiver for the headphones has a charger unit which also plugs into the TV via RCA cables (which I used because I have an older TV). I suppose if your TV has additional jacks, you could buy 2 sets of headphones. But they would be sold separately. BTW—these provide a good range (45 feet distant and downstairs from the TV or even outside) with solid sound. Worked out much better for me than originally purchased Bluetooth Sonys.

Q: QuestionWhat if one person wanted to use the headphones and the other wanted to use the sound from the TV - can the sound be adjusted independently (in other words can the person with the headphones on control just the sound in the headphones?).

Asked 6 years ago by Marty.

• A:Answer My 94 year old mother has hearing loss. We bought these headphones so she could listen to her television. These headphones allow her to increase or decrease the sound volume, but do not affect the sound level in the room.
