What's great about it:?Nothing What's not so great:?Terrible Sound; Finicky On/Off; Short Range; Heavy "Wow, these were a waste of money. I asked for these because I generally like Sony products. Sound over the headphones has an ongoing buzz that increases and decreases as I shift my head. from Bestbuy.com Kept these returned the other ones. These are very comfortable and sound about the same. Sony's are 900mhz and others are supposedly digital but comfort outways any advantages. Occasionally a little static but nothing significant. from Bestbuy.com Increase the volume of your signal source if you're having issues with the headphone transmitter turning off or failing to turn on. Regarding sound quality: The best sounding wireless headphones I ever had were infrared Koss Kordless Model JCK/200 phones, which I owned in the 1980s. I've had various brands of RF headphones since then, and the sound has never lived up to the quality of the old Koss infrared units. from Bestbuy.com What's not so great:?terrible sound quality "i figured it would be a safe buy - sony brand. but that was not the case. from Bestbuy.com What's great about it:?dont know What's not so great:?static, not so great sound "Sony dropped the ball on this one. These headphones are large and the sound is static in tte background on every channel. from Bestbuy.com While these headphones were charging for the first time, I did come on to Amazon and read the other reviews, and I'd have to agree with most of the negative ones. It also reminded me of a conversation I had with the audio expert at one of the Circuit City stores just before they closed. He said, if you buy Sony, make it a TV. Sony isn't known for quality audio products, only video, and after buying these headphones, I'd have to say he was right. from Amazon.com Sony MDR-IF240RK Wireless Headphone SystemMy husband purchased this so he could hear the sound on the TV without turning up the volume every few minutes. He has a hearing problem and I always watch TV in the next room. from Amazon.com Surely I'm not the only one who bought these and noticed this issue. Trust - Broken. Goodbye Sony. from Amazon.com My Sony wireless headphones are a big disppointment. I am trying a 2nd set that Sony customer service sent me and still can't hear a thing after the first use of each set. from Amazon.com In fact, they will almost always be dead. Not a very good design. I have many Sony devices with rechargeable batteries that never lose a charge until the battery gets old (my wireless phone and my rechargeable universal remote control). But this Sony item seems to have missed that design session. from Amazon.com
