The sound produced by these speakers are great, and compared with similar priced headphoens it equals or beats the competition. One of the biggest perks of this headset is the auto-tuning function which keeps the headsets tuned in so you don't have to keep tuning and retuning the headsets. I primarly use them for watching TV at night so as to not disturb the rest of the household. If this is what you'll be using them for, then they are suburb. If you plan on walking around the house, expect some intermitent inclarity static. They are quite bulky, and wearing them too far back on your head will eventually hurt your scalpe and ears, but when worn right they are extremely comfortable. As for battery life, the rechargeably battery makes it much more conveniant as you never have to find and replace batteries. The batteries last well over 8 hours of usage at a time, so don't expect these headsets to die on you. Overall I can recommend this product to anyone looking for a a headset in the sub $... range. The MDR-RF945RK can also be found for under $... elsewhere.

2.0 out of 5 stars Overpriced and noisy, April 26, 2004

Too noisy to watch DVDs or listening to music, lot of static, mostly if you don't stand still like a statue. Very disappointing from Sony. Buy Koss, Sennheiser or Bose. Oh and the connection between the base and the headphones is crap.

3.0 out of 5 stars Decent Headphones, need some adjustments, January 26, 2004

I bought these a couple of months ago and use them to watch TV while others in the house are asleep. They work very well, over a pretty decent distance, and are very comfortable. At first I was annoyed with how noisy they were, (compared with IR headphones, there's a lot of noise), but I found that if I crank the tuner to a really high volume (25 out of 30) and then adjust the headphone audio lower, the noise is reduced such that I really don't notice it.
