Not what I spected
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.There is too much static noise when I watching the tv. I'm only 10 to 20 feet away and there's not clear sound. I'm not happy with them.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendWireless Signal is not that good
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.There's lot of hissing noise in the background and lots of connection drop-outs....save your money and look for other RF wireless headset.

- Cons mentioned:Weight
much too heavy
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.bought these to use so I could watch tv without disturbing my wife but they are too heavy and cumbersome to comfortably use for that purpose---plus the transmitter also takes up too much space. Maybe they are fine for sitting at a desk and listening to music while you work but not for my purpose. I tried to return them but missed Best Buy's short return window by a day and they would not take them back.

Ok, will do.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This product is ok but not great. I expected more from a name brand Sony product. The overall price should be lower to achieve the accurate value for this product.
I would recommend this to a friendDecent set of wireless headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased these so I could watch tv at night and not wake up the entire house. They work great but I feel the volume should be able to go a little higher on the headphones.
I would recommend this to a friendNot the quality is not what I expected from Sony.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A lot of static at least 50% of the time. Stereo sound is not as good as a prior pair that I paid less money for. Not as comfortable to wear either.

Could not use it.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had to return the earphones because there was no way for me to hook up both the earphones and my stereo to the TV. There is no pass through port on the transmitter.

They're just o.k. Nothing special
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They are just o.k. I do get some static at times when sitting 20 feet in front of the transmitter. Should be more like 59.99 then over a 100.00
No, I would not recommend this to a friend- Cons mentioned:Size
Disappointed
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got these as a gift to use with the tv. They're very large and I thought uncomfortable, but I'm also not use to wearing headphones. We couldn't get them to work. Don't know if our hookup was wrong or if our system was incompatible, but I returned them. I ended up with a store credit because it's the only tv compatible set they stocked in the store.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Hollow Sound
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Quality is OK but sound is weird. It sounds hollow. I returned for a pair of Sennheiser. Much better quality and most important sound.

Posted .Hi leneed, This system utilizes very high-frequency signals in the 900 MHz
band so the receiving performance may deteriorate due to the
surroundings. Check out some tips to get a better reception: https://docs.sony.com/release//MDRRF985RK_EN_FR.pdf. -Vincent
