Proper set up
These do exactly what I wanted., a way to watch TV late at night when I get home from work without disturbing the household. I had hissing until I figured out how to set them up. Plug them into the earphone jack. This turns off the TV speakers and just leaves the headphones on. Turn the headset volume down and turn the tv volume up loud to 65 or so. Remember the TV speakers are off now. Then adjust the headphone volume to your comfort level. No hissing.
If you leave the tv at normal volume setting and try to turn up the headphone volume you will get hissing.

Just what I needed
This is perfect. It's got the volume on the headset itself, and that's pretty convenient, easy to hook up, long battery life, etc. The only downside for me so far is that when I go to use the bathroom and it loses connection with its stand, all you hear is loud static. Drives me crazy. But for its price, I guess that's negligible.

Great Value
I second jhjr4 in that the other reviewers don't understand audio equipment. Turn up your source volume to max (or near it) and then slowly turn up your headset. Be careful not to unplug the headphone jack otherwise you'll wake up the neighborhood with your speakers. They give great sound when setup properly. IR needs line of sight so make sure you can setup them so, otherwise, you'll have poor quality. The headset is comfortable. It doesn't squeeze your head and they are very light. If you move your head rapidly they could fall off. One note, the ear cushions fall off constantly. Once they came off the 1st time I couldn't get them to stay on. Probably could use some glue to tape but still, it's a pain. I actually lost one of the cushions so I am hoping that I can order replacement cushions. Without the cushions, the set is almost un-wearable. All in all for the price, sound, and comfort...a great value.

Please read this before all negative reviews
People that are complaining about hissing and cracking need to learn how to setup stereo equipment before running to their computer and writing negative reviews. Turn up your source audio close to max and then gradually turn up your headset volume.. Easy as that. Plus the freaking headphones are 40 bucks, stop complaining. If you spent 150+ then yeah they better have zero distortion. Just had to backup Sony. Thanks for reading
