Sony Cordless Digital Headphone, September 7, 2005
This review is from: Sony MDR-DS4000 Infrared Cordless Digital Surround Headphone System (Electronics)
This is the best set of cordless headphones that I have bought. I've owned 3 others. Finally the hiss is gone. Overall the sound is excellent,but the bass response could be a little better. I find the Auto On when you put them on to be very cool. I minor issue is that these are "line of sight" headsets, meaning that you have to stay in direct sight of the transmitter. Other cordless headsets that have owned allowed me walk around the house and still hear the program, this comes in handy when you need to go the somewhere else in the house but don't want to loose any of the dialogue. However this is a small tradeoff when you factor in the good sound and the hiss free trasmission of these Sony headsets.

Great for hard of hearing, August 17, 2005
This review is from: Sony MDR-DS4000 Infrared Cordless Digital Surround Headphone System (Electronics)
I purchased these headphones for my 84 year old mother living in an assisted living apartment. She uses them with a large screen tv. She is extremely hard of hearing and could not hear or understand her old tv. After a lot of study I decided to pay the big bucks and hope she would use them. If not, I would have a great pair of wireless headphones for myself. She loves them, I'm without headphones... The digital input makes for incredibly clear sound. The design makes them comfortable for her too. I was worried she would have trouble placing on the stand properly to recharge them, but she learned faster than I did. She is legally blind, so that goes to show how easy it is when you start doing it. The other nice feature was the auto on/off when you put them on or take them off. Preserves battery strength. When I decide to spend the money for a great headset, these are the one's I will get.

Excellent Headphones for TV Listening, July 21, 2008
This review is from: Sony MDR-DS4000 Infrared Cordless Digital Surround Headphone System (Electronics)
I connected the headphones to my new Yamaha amplifier & to my new 46" Sharp LCD TV and got wonderfull surround sound. I find them a lot lighter than the DP-IF5000 Sony Infrared Headphones (which I've enjoyed for many years), the only negative feature I found was the recharging station. I found that with a little practice, I can fit them in the right spot within a 10sec. span. I advise anyone who buys this product to keep a couple of AAA batteries handy if they are in a hurry. Another thing, you might have some distortion if used to watch a Plasma TV, but I didn't perceive any with the LCD TV. Overall, an excellent product for my purpose (watching late night tv w/surround sound without waking up my spouse).
