Looking for Answers about Sony 900MHz Analog RF Wireless Headphones - Black?

I get only about 100 feet, but there are many walls in between the headset and transmitter when I use them around the home

20 meters without any walls between you and the transmitter.... but when you get to about 7 meters you'll hear a ghhhhhhh

I don't think there is a definite range, but I've gotten a pretty good range with mine. I've had it plugged into my computer in my room while playing music, then walked down the hall and outside into my driveway and I could still hear the music. But the further away you go, and the more surfaces (like walls) that the signal has to go through, the more static you will get and the sound might cut-out and break-up every now and then.

Range for clear reception without static is only 15-20 feet.

yeah, definitely. just hook it up through the receiver or back of cable/satellite box. i used the audio outputs for these headphones and then an hdmi for hooking up to the tv. if you're using straight a/v cables for the tv and cable you'll have to buy some y-cables to split up the signal.

That depends on your TV. If it has a headphone mini plug, using that usually cuts off the speakers. Better to use the RCA audio output connectors (if you have them) these will not kill the speakers.

Yes, it will work.
You do not need to buy a receiver like the previous person stated. My guess is you have a simple TV set up, without an elaborate surround sound, and the answer below should work for you.

Go to Best Buy and purchase two “Y” splitters as shown in this link (Model: DX-AD102 | SKU: 9390633). One side should be a “Male” end and the other two sides (the splitting part) will be “Female” ends.

Take the two “Y” splitters and plug one “Male” end into the Red and the other "Male" end into the White Audio Outs on your cable box or whatever you have sending the audio out to the TV or speakers. The other ends (Female), one Red and one White each, go to each of your Wireless Headset (use the supplied adaptor) and the Red/White Audio Inputs on the TV. All done, and it will only cost you about $9.

I am sure it would work depending on how you choose to hook it up. The headphones has its own volume control so it could be loud without having to turn the TV volume up.

Yes, as long as the TV has analog audio outputs (headphone jack or RCA jacks).

Yes, you can use this to watch TV by connecting the base to the audio outputs of your TV. You will want to first make sure your TV has audio outputs.

Yes they can be used for any device that has RCA outputs. TVs, stereos, CD players, portable DVD players, etc.

There is also a 1/4" input for portable devices such as cellphones, Ipods, MP3 players.

Also the battery life is over 12 hours in my experience of using them in case you were wondering as well.

yes. you just connect it to audio out on your tv! Your tv has have audio out our headphone jack!

What Sony said is true, but if you do it that way, you are losing 1080 HD for both videos and gaming by using the RCA input for the PS3. Instead of 1080, you'll be getting 480 resolution maximum, which is terrible imo. I'm not sure if it would work if you used the component PS3 plug, and run the red + white to the Sony Base. Sony?

Are you using an amplifier? If you are, then it will work no problem. You just plug it into the audio jack of your amp, and you're good to go. It even comes with the necessary adapter. If you're NOT using an amplifier, I don't know, but if I had to guess, I would say that they would not work. These use 900MZ, and the PS3 uses Bluetooth :)

yes theres a volume nob

Yes ,on the right side.

yes you can adjust the volume

The wirelss tranmitter conects via a supplied cable to the TV's analog audio outputs (headphone jack or RCA jacks).

To connect the headphones to your TV you need to connect the base to the audio outputs of your TV set. It is recommended that you check to make sure your TV has audio outputs first.

The charging base has two audio options in the rear for input. The first is RCA right/left connections (comes with adapter to connect to PC) and a second 1/4" connector which can be used to input a CD player, MP3 player, etc.

All you need is a RCA audio cable to plug the base into the TV or stereo.

Yes, I have. I just replaced our second set of Brookstone static makers for the 900MHZ Sony ones, and I couldn't be happier. The Brookestone ones use infrared technology, which requires a direct line of sight. Even with a direct line of sight, if you move a couple of feet, you'll get 2 earfuls of static. Very annoying to say the least.

There is zero static with the Sony Headphones as I move about my house, they are great! Definitely don't buy the ones from Brookstones, or you'll regret it. I did a full review on the Sony headphones as well.

BTW... I already responded to this, but BB didn't post it for whatever reason :/

I have! I went through two sets of those $50 Brookstone ones... save your money as they are junk. Aside from one speaker breaking, and having to bring it in for a new pair, the infrared technology that the Brookstone headphones (and many others) use causes a TON of static if you don't have a direct line of sight.

You WILL get static with the Brookstone ones... and plenty of it! Even with a direct line of sight, if you move even a couple of feet, you will get a bunch of static. Very Annoying to say the least. There is ZERO static with the 900MHZ Sony headphones. See my full review when it posts (I just wrote it, and it said may take up to 72 hrs to post)... bottom line --> Buy the Sony Headset & get the GeekSquad plan.

Yes, but don't forget a microphone for Skype.

I don't know how you would use these with Skype, they do not have a microphone. So unless your laptop has one built in or you have an external one, they would be useless for that.

As for the TV and laptop, the answer is yes. The base of the headphones has two inputs in the back for two sources, both of which can be used at the same time to recieve two audio signals. I don't know why someone would want to do that, but yes they can be connected to two devices at once. 1 set of RCA red/white connections and one portable connection (3.5mm jack which can be used to connect to a laptop or any audio input on a computer)

Yes, you can use up to 3. My guess is that if you set both headsets to the same channel, you can use both with only 1 tranmitter.

the MDR RF970RK is an output device, if your television has dual RCA R/L output jacks then it will allow multiple devices. it depends on the device producing the sound.

Any TV that has either a headphone jack or RCA audio out jacks. (Most do).

with the supplied Connector cord the MDR-RF970RK will connect to any standard mini-plug Headphone Jack or RCA Component Right Left Audio Jack from any modern Television or A/V device.
