What is Radio Frequency?

Radio Frequency transmission works by sending our radio frequency signals from the transmitter to the headphones. Radio frequency signals allow high fidelity sound reproduction and have a large reception range that does not require keeping the headphones within line of sight of the transmission. Radio frequency signal quality can deteriorate due to external noise and interference in some settings.

Sound

Noise reduction technology reduces interference and neodymium magnets give you a high fidelity sound reproduction.

Transmission

900MHz radio frequency transmission with up to 150 ft transmission range.

Additional Features

Volume control on ear piece, auto power On/Off

Design

Comfortable fit with adjustable headband and complete coverage of the ear.

Battery

Supplied rechargeable nickel-metal hydride battery automatically charge by placing the headphones on the transmitter base station; headphones charge via electromagnetic induction charging.

Headphones for the hard of hearing I love these headphones, I can hear each word clearley now and I don't bother anybody with have the sound on the TV turned up. This is the 2nd set I have now (1 in the living room, 1ini the bedroom) May 25, 2012
Fantastic For the Price I was doubtful about these. But i am happy now that i bought it. For this price they are fantastic. Yes i hear some hiss sound. But after sometime i get use to it and then they sound fantastic atleast for tv watching. May 18, 2012
Shame On You, Sony! I love Sony Products. My entire Home Theater is Sony, from speakers to the Bravia 3DHDTV to the 7.2 receiver. I have Sony computers and monitors.. So, I couldn't believe Sony would put their name on these, next to useless, headphones. Even at the reduced price, I didn't get what I paid for. In all my years, this is the first bad experience I've had with a Sony product. I'm still a die hard Sony Fan and will continue to buy Sony. Just stay away from these headphones! April 21, 2012
