Headphones reviews

Description

This wireless headphone system was designed to connect with your TV or stereo system. The 900 MHz wireless system — similar technology as the 900 MHz cordless phones — 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 radio frequency (RF) transmitter provides excellent sound quality and transmission range, especially when compared to earlier wireless systems. The MDR-RF945RKs have a transmission range of 150 feet. The headband is self-adjusting and sports two, snug-fitting bands. The headphones come with a rechargeable Ni-Cad battery. The system sports an automatic headphone battery charge system and will recharge the headphone’s Ni-Cad battery whenever they are set in the transmitter. You can expect an impressive twenty hours of use from a fully charged battery.

The headphones are lightweight and comfortable, delivering quality sound. Sony has installed several technical features in the headphones to ensure a quality listening experience. There are three transmission channels to assist in optimal reception. You can manually choose the best channel on the headphones, or choose the auto-select option and the headphones will scan for the best signal. The thirty millimeter drive units deliver deep bass, low distortion and a wide frequency response range (20 - 20,000 Hz). Ferrite magnets give the headphones good energy at a minimal size and weight. The PET diaphragms offer low distortion and resists bending and flexing. The open-air, supra-aural design is comfortable and allows you to keep in touch with ambient sounds. With the mute button you can quickly shut off the music or TV noise.

The transmitter’s inputs, along with the supplied connecting cord, make it easy to connect your audio or TV component. There is even a supplied UniMatch plug to ensure compatibility. With this adaptor, you can 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 an 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 8.2 ounces and are a modern silver color.
