 All around a "10" July 16, 2008

I was a bit skeptical of the quality of this wireless headphone after reading some of the lukewarm reviews here. I also went to Crutchfield to download the owners manual (too bad Amazon doesn't offer this feature - it's very helpful).
This was to be a gift for my soon-to-be 92 year old aunt. She has problems hearing certain frequency ranges and is missing out on much of the dialog on television.
She has an older Sony TV set (circa 1998) without a headphone jack, so a Sennheiser (my 1st choice) headphone was out of contention. I needed something to plug into the line out RCA connectors on the back of her set. This Sony unit seemed to fit the bill. I decided to have it sent to my home first to ensure it would work and to look for any idiosyncrasies. To my delight, I found none. Not a single problem...well, getting the headset out of the plastic packaging was a bit tough !
I followed the instructions for the setup (I have a Sony, but a newer model) - easily done, by the way. I allowed the headset to charge overnight. So far, so good. I removed the headset from the cradle and placed it on my head...Voila...sound! And not just any scratchy audio, but rich and crisp. The audio compression circuitry was working as advertised and the headphone audio adjust allowed me to turn up the volume to an uncomfortable level. Perfect for a 92 year old lady hard of hearing.
So, I gave it the range test...kinda. I gingerly stepped out of the house and walked around...perhaps 50 to 75 feet away. Not a hiccup or a dropout. I had a good feeling about this.
So, I packed it up to be sent off to California...and my dear old aunt. I used my yellow Hi-Liter to mark areas of interest and attention in the instructions (my auntie is a bit of a Luddite).
Several days passed and I called her to see if it had arrived. The USPS had not let me down. She had already unpacked it and hooked it all up following my explicit instructions (a yellow Hi-Liter makes all the difference). She was quite upset that it did not work...no green light to indicate audio was being received by the transmitter from her Sony TV.
We went round and round over the phone - double checking everything, yet the audio was still AWOL. I found her Sony TV model on a manual download site on the Internet and obtained a PDF copy of the manual. No surprises there. I might note that I had discovered that many older Sony models required the user to TURN OFF the built-in speakers of the TV set before audio would be enabled to the line out jacks. Hers was not of that vintage.
The next morning I called her, armed with printed information so we might attack the problem once again. She, quite sheepishly, admitted to me she had found the problem. Her television was turned off and she had not thought to turn it back on - and I had not thought to ask her if it was on. Oh, my! Operator error.
In any case, the headset works wonderfully. She is amazed at the sound quality. I could almost hear her ear-to-ear smile in the phone.
So, dear readers. I can only say all is well, that ends well. And if it pleases my dear old auntie, how can you go wrong?
As with nearly all products,you will sometimes get a lemon...something that slips through quality control, or a component that becomes defective after a period of time. However, in this case, I can give this headset a 10+ without a second thought.
My wife was so taken with this that she has requested I order a unit for her to use. Oh my...what HAVE I done?
Happy listening !Sony MDRRF970RK 900 MHz Analog RF Wireless Headphone

Great delivery, got within a few days. Love the headphones, comfortable, easy to use. The range is amazing, even worn them while I walked my dog a 100 feet or so from the house/tv set and still could listen to the program. Glad I didn't buy the infra red, line of sight headphones.

Sony Earphones May 9, 2008

The earphones work exceptionally well for my TV. I wanted some earphones using RF instead of IR as they will function without looking directly at the TV every second. The Sony earphones work as well as I had hoped. I also wear them to exercise at 4:00 AM with the TV on but the sound turned down so I will not disturb my wife.
