We recently purchased a brand new 4K Sony XBR-65X-930D TV and Samsung 4K UBD-K8500 Blu-ray player, both of which are capable of 3D playback and both of which have been phenomenal with these 3D glasses. I did not trust going with any other brand besides Sony even though they are pricey. They are worth it and seem well made. We put them back in the box after every use. They are a cinch to pair, just turn them on and pairs with TV. We even used them perfectly with HBO on Demand 3D Movies through TWC. A full review of all of this can be found here: http://whysoblu.com/4k-sony-xbr65x930d-samsung-ubd-k8500-review/

Functionality is almost amazing! Lightweight and Easy operation. Designed in a way that even people wearing eyeglasses can use these 3D glasses effectively. BE AWARE Though, the arms on these glasses are extremely lightweight and may be fragile unless you're gentle while using. ;-)

This is the first time I use 3D glasses. A bit annoying that I have to sync it with the TV, and replace the battery every 8 hours, or so. Other than that, it's pretty good.
The 3D quality is 4 out of 5.

I had to order these online. Despite the fact that Best Buy has a number of Sony 3D tv's for sale in their store, they don't have the 3D glasses stocked. The glasses are comfortable, but don't fit nicely over prescription glasses. They're pricey too - 2x the cost of Samsung active 3D glasses of the same nature - almost the same cost as samsungs rechargeable glasses. I wouldn't have bought these if I didn't have to in order to enjoy 3D blu Ray dvd's.

Bought two of these to make sure they would sync with my 65X850C TV and that we would like the effects. Only took a few seconds to sync. I did have issues with my Blu-ray not being set on 3D mode and I needed a new receiver with 3D pass-through...but once that was resolved the glasses were awesome. Bought two more but they wouldn't sync. My TV went crazy, nothing was responding. I unplugged it and plugged it back in and then all four glasses worked and we were able to watch Avatar 3D. So the glasses are great, just make sure you have everything else ready in your system.

Took a little time to get them, bought 2 pairs, set up. Have to turn off the TV and sync them 3-4 times before they would sync up. Once I got them to sync up they work great. I wear glasses and they fit right over them. Comfortable even after watching 2 movies. A little disappointed that Sony didn't include a pair of them for the price they get for the TV.

After reading few reviews felt like the glasses were not a good buy, but had no issues. Nice 3d experience at home. But at a price tag of 50$, its over priced.

It took about a month after buying my new TV before these finally came back in stock to try out, but it was well worth the wait. Sony has done a really nice job with their new UHD 3D sets. The clarity and depth of the picture has given me a new perspective on 3D movies at home. The glasses themselves are pretty comfortable, easy to sync and so far have worked great. I wouldn't necessarily recommend wearing them on top of your every day glasses. It will work, but just not ideal for comfort. Just make sure when you first sync these to your TV, to have 3D content playing before you push the sync button. The directions that came with my glasses left that key detail out.

I also bought the Samsung active 3 d glasses to compare the two. It is worth paying the extra $30 because of the picture quality you will get compare to Samsung 3 d glasses. Material quality is so good ( as always from Sony products)

These 3D glasses are lighter and more comfortable then the first round of Sony Glasses. Has a replaceable battery versus a rechargeable battery.
Wish they would have been passive vs. active for the price difference.

We bought these glasses as a supplemental pair for our growing family. We loved them when we bought them 3 years ago and love the new ones we just bought. The awesome thing is that they worked well for the Samsung TV and they work just as well for our new Sony 3D TV.
Very comfortable glasses.

When these glasses work they are awesome! Sometimes though, they don't sync with my TV. You must go into settings and turn Bluetooth off and then turn back on. If that does not work, shut your cell phone off! Also, have a lot of extra batteries on hand!

Very happy with this new design. Much more comfortable than previous versions of active glasses, especially for viewers who require prescription eye glasses to see clearly.

i have been a sony consumer for about 40 years. happy to report that this 65 inch sony bravia 3d 4k ultra hd is the experience i have longed for. in addition best buy did a great and honest job. tech service was great and best buy kept all promises, e.g. price matching, and after purchase concern.
