Enjoy an incredible, high-quality 3D entertainment experience when you combine this pair of adult-sized 3D Active Glasses in black with a compatible BRAVIA 3D HDTV and the separately available 3D Sync Transmitter.

3D Active Glasses--side view (above) and rear view (below).

 

Sony's innovative design blocks out distracting room light and the adjustable frames for a more comfortable and customized fit, plus you'll enjoy long battery life for up to 100 hours of 3D enjoyment. The adjustable frames will fit just about everyone in your family with a comfortable ergonomic design--even over prescription eyewear.

How 3D Works

Since our eyes are spaced apart, each eye sees things at slightly different angles. Our brains then combine the two angles, giving us true depth perception. To create that same sense of distance and realism on a TV screen, 3D technology displays high speed synchronized left- and right-eye images to deliver the most immersive 3D experience imaginable. And since each frame you see is shown at Full HD resolution, the 3D action comes alive with razor-sharp detail.

Slide on the 3D Active Glasses and watch as images leap right into your living room. Sporting high-speed synching with 3D images and an ultra-high contrast ratio, these glasses greatly reduce unwanted "ghosting" effects known as crosstalk. Adjustable and comfortable, they are designed with side panels to block out excess light that creates annoying glare on other glasses.

Compatible Sony BRAVIA HDTVs

• Sony BRAVIA HX800 series
• Sony BRAVIA HX810 series

4.0 out of 5 stars Works as Advertised October 4, 2010

By Classax

A parital reason I decided to go with Sony for my new HD3dTV was the performance of the the 3d shutter glasses and their comfort. Glasses are not really the correct terms as these are more like goggles that will fit over a pair of regular glasses. They are totaly enclosed and shut out most light from the tops and sides. They do dim the picture a bit but most 3dTV's compensate for this by getting much brighter in 3d mode. They work well with in the the range they are intended. If you tilt your head more than 10 degrees of so either left or right the 3d effect is lost. Opperation is simple with a single button to push on and off. They're semi adjustable for those with smaller heads but if you have small children like me then you will need to get the BR50's which are narrower lighter and more like a regular pair of glasses. Part of what I enjoyed was the fact that they do block most ambient light from all but in front. They are fairly hefty and you will start to feel their wieght right about the time the credits role in a two hour movie, but then I don't normally wear glasses and I start to feel that way after two hours in a pair of sunshades, YMMV. Unlike the Panasonics and Samsungs glasses I tried, you can still opperate a laptop or anything else with them on and not get a lot of flicker. The other brands tended to cause every other light source to flicker except for the TV's which only flickered when the glasses were out of sync. The Sony's sync very qucikly and don't reset during bright parts of the movie ala the Panasonics. They could be lighter but frankly they feel quite sturdy and not nearly as fragile FEELING as other brands I've tried. They are battery powered by a standard CR2032 watch battery and last for about 80 hours of viewing. If you watched a 2 hour 3d movie every night, plus a football game every week they'd last just over a month. That was a concern for me until I did the math. The Sony sell for about $100 vs the other brand reacharbles which go for $150. With batteries selling for about $8 for a pack of 10 it would take 4 years of watching at that rate to see any savings on the rechargables. Overall they work well though I wished they came with a hard case instead a velvet pouch.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great 3d January 4, 2011

By M Coons

3d Glasses work great.
Sounds like most of the bad reviews are user error.
I do wish Sony would just integrate their transmitter with their 3d TVs.
I install 3d TVs all the time for a Home Theater company.
I personally think Sony has the best 3d. Samsung and Panasonic are great to.
Don't even mess with Mitsubishi, too many compatibility issues.
As for the Sony glasses, I think they are the most durable.
Love my Sony 55NX810.
As for a Blu-Ray player, just get a Playstation. It updates automatically, 3d games are awesome, Gran Turismo 3d is out of this world.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works Perfectly January 4, 2011

When I first connected the 3D transmitter to the TV and tried watching a 3D Blu-ray, I encountered a few break-ups of the 3D experience. It was then that I discovered I had the transmitter pointing toward the TV and not toward me. Once that was corrected, the break-ups stopped. I'm actually surprised they managed to work as well as they did before I discovered my problem.

The glasses shut-off automatically only when there is no 3D signal. That's done to save batteries. As long as you're watching a 3D feature, the glasses continue operating without any problems at all.
