Headphones reviews

Description

This wireless headphone system was designed to connect with your TV or stereo system. The wireless system allows you to move around the room without that pesky cord draping behind. It is easy to connect to TV, VCR, DVD or audio systems with the supplied connecting cord and plug adaptor. This system includes both transmitter and headphones.

The high power infrared transmitter incorporates multiple light-emitting diodes (LEDs) for an extended coverage range. The MDR-IF630RKs have a transmission range of thirty-three feet (twelve feet when at a forty-five degree angle.) They also receive at a ninety degree transmission angle, ensuring that you have uninterrupted listening as you move around the room. The headband is self-adjusting and sports a snug-fitting wide band. The headphones come with a rechargeable NiMH battery. The system sports an automatic headphone battery charge system and will recharge the headphone’s NiMH battery whenever they are set in the transmitter. You can expect an impressive twenty-two hours of use from a fully charged battery.

The headphones are lightweight and comfortable, delivering quality sound. Sony has installed several technical features to the headphones to ensure a quality listening experience. There are two options included in the sound mode. When listening to music, choose the normal sound mode; however, when you expect most of the sound to be voices, choose the voice enhanced mode. The voice enhanced mode is ideal for watching movies, especially at low volumes, and for individuals who might be hearing-impaired. Meanwhile, the noise reduction transmission system will minimize extraneous noise and hiss; this system gives the signal a better chance at coming through unobstructed and clear. The thirty millimeter drive units deliver deep bass, low distortion and a wide frequency response range (12 - 24,000 Hz). Neodymium magnets give the headphones maximum energy at a minimal size and weight. The PET diaphragms offer low distortion and resists bending and flexing. The closed circum-aural design keeps outside noises at a minimal level. The earpads are made of a cloth material; they are comfortable even after long hours of use.

With the supplied UniMatch plug, it is easy to connect the transmitter to various sound sources. These plugs accommodate both the phone jack found on high fidelity components or the mini-jack found on video components. A single volume control is found on the right earpiece for simple volume adjustments. Finally, there is a automatic power switch on both the headphones and transmitter to help conserve battery and equipment life. (The unit turns back on when the transmitter detects a signal, while the headphones turn on when they sense their placement on your head.) The headphones weigh 6.3 ounce and are a modern black color.
