1.0 out of 5 stars Burn your money instead., June 8, 2004

Don't waste your money on Infrared Headphones, buy Wireless 900 MHz technology. THese are extreemley annoying, you have to be in line of site in order for these to work. The Headphones, and the little recieve need to be able to see each other, you can't leave the room. or in my case sit in front of your computer monitor because it blocks the reciever. Buy Wireless 900 MHz like your telephone, I did and can now roam around the entire house, and even go outside.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worked Fine for Me, December 31, 2003

Dunno about the review above but when I used it with my Sony Wega TV (My infrared recieve is integrated into the TV) it works perfectly. The sound is very clear, almost as clear as wired headphones. Good deal if you want the Sony brand name.

4.0 out of 5 stars GREAT PRODUCT FOR THE PRICE, March 5, 2006

This is a good product for the price. My one complaint is that the wire that extends from the headset base to the TV is too short. I will probably go buy a longer one at Radio Shack.

Here's a tip: The volume on the headset itself should be turned down to eliminate hissing. To increase the volume, use the TV volume adjuster to control (instead of the headphones).

They are pretty comfortable headphones. After about 4 hours, my ears ache slightly. The sound is very good, too.

Overall I am happy with these. If you are looking for an affordable set of infrared headphones, these are a good bet. If you are one of those hi-tech, super-stereo, geeky audio aficionados, these are probably not the headphones for you.
