 Great Headphones July 29, 2008
The Sony MDR-IF240RK infared cordless headphones are a great deal. They work perfectly and sound great. I have two other sets of corded headphones but these sound better then both of them. There only drawback is since the infared they have to be in line of sight with the sending unit. I chose these over RF units because I live in an aptment building and the RF unit get a lot of interfernce from other devise in ajoining apartments.
 Nice Product! July 29, 2008
These headphones are great to watch TV late at night when your wife wants to sleep.
Sony Headphone July 22, 2008
This item was purchased to replace a similar item that lasted 12 years. It too was a Sony. The item arrived on time in new condition as advertised and works great. It should since it is a Sony.
Where have these been all my life?? So far so good! July 21, 2008
I just received them today, so I cant say much about the long term performance. I have to say, though, that these are fantastic in terms of convenience. I walked around my room (about 15'x15') then through a narrow doorway through a thin curtain! I was still able to hear it clearly. Of course a few more feet back and the sound cut off. But then I moved the curtain over, and I was able to go as far as the kitchen which is approx another 15' and keep in mind taht this is through a narrow doorway. I'm sure if this was in a completely open space, I could probably have gotten 30-40 ft. And this has only been charging for about 3 hrs.
In terms of sound, its fine. When compared this $40 headphone to my gf's $250 bose, it obviously isnt as good. It's fine for music/movies, plain and simple. I'd wish it had more bass, however. But it's so convenient, people say you have to sit directly in front of the pc, which doesnt seem to be true for me. I sat on my bed and listened to it fine. I simply just moved the base facing the bed and it was crystal clear (how hard is it to do that?)
If you want a headset that goes everywhere, get bluetooth, but good luck finding one with a replaceable battery. I love how you can use your own standard AAA battery, so no fears about that.
So far, I love it. Great value.
 Not a Great Performer July 17, 2008
Not impressed. had to send these back. They only work if you are directly in front of the sending unit, very much directly in front off. If you move at all, static city.
