Features:

  • What is Radio Frequency?
    Radio Frequency transmission works by sending our radio frequency signals from the transmitter to the headphones. Radio frequency signals allow high fidelity sound reproduction and have a large reception range that does not require keeping the headphones within line of sight of the transmission. Radio frequency signal quality can deteriorate due to external noise and interference in some settings.
  • Design
    Comfortable fit with adjustable headband and complete coverage of the ear.
  • Transmission
    900MHz radio frequency transmission with up to 150 ft transmission range.
  • Sound
    Noise reduction technology reduces interference and neodymium magnets give you a high fidelity sound reproduction.
  • Battery
    Supplied rechargeable nickel-metal hydride battery automatically charge by placing the headphones on the transmitter base station; headphones charge via electromagnetic induction charging.
  • Additional Features
    Volume control on ear piece, auto power On/Off

    These headphones provide a high quality sound and the large size provides the comfort needed to wear for several hours. They are not heavy and I don't even realize that I'm wearing them after a short while. I highly recommend these for anyone who likes to watch TV in bed and not disturb anyone.

    I had high expectations after seeing the look of these headphones only to be disappointed at every feature. The battery compartment is very hard to open and close. My battery did not fully charge even after 24 hours even after being very careful that unit was placed properly in base. There was static on certain notes when listening to music. The phones are also very heavy. The ear covers come off easily but are a pain to put back on.

    Perfect

    By TCoRED

    from Sarasota, Florida

    Comments about Sony Noise Reduction Black Wireless Headphones:

    These are amazing headphones, truly. The fact that they're wireless makes them great for playing guitar and is very nice when I want to get food and listen to music from youtube. I love the quality, 10 - 22k HZ is better than a pair of 400$ pair of "Dr. Dre Beats" that comes in at about 20 - 20k HZ. Extremely comfortable to wear for prolonged use. The only thing that's not great is the fact that they are not bluetooth so the device you are listening from must be anchored, but a pair of bluetooth stereo headphones is 200$+ so it's ok.

    Shame On You, Sony!

    By JoJo51

    from Santa Cruz, California

    Comments about Sony Noise Reduction Black Wireless Headphones:

    I love Sony Products. My entire Home Theater is Sony, from speakers to the Bravia 3DHDTV to the 7.2 receiver. I have Sony computers and monitors.. So, I couldn't believe Sony would put their name on these, next to useless, headphones. Even at the reduced price, I didn't get what I paid for. In all my years, this is the first bad experience I've had with a Sony product. I'm still a die hard Sony Fan and will continue to buy Sony. Just stay away from these headphones!

      Poor Quality - Sound "cuts out" frequently

      By Ashevillain

      from Asheville, NC

      Comments about Sony Noise Reduction Black Wireless Headphones:

      Listening to TV programs with the MDRRF970RK is very poor. The sound simply stops coming through the headphones for about 1-2 seconds of silence. This happens at random times and is very annoying. Most people will NOT be happy with these headphones!

        Clear sound. The only interference I've noticed is a soft click, no more than a couple times per hour.

        Terrible creaking sound from the plastic parts

        By jljklkkk

        from Quesnel, BC

        Comments about Sony Noise Reduction Black Wireless Headphones:

        Just got the headphones and was very impressed except...... whenever you move the earpads in any way, there is a very loud creaking sound. The plastic hinged part needs to be lubruicated or trimmed or something. The support line says the only way to fix it is to send it in for repairs which means being without them for who knows how long. I will be returning them and purchasing a different brand as customer support was not very helpful and I have to order them from out of town and cannot try them before I buy them. I DO NOT recommend buying these unless you can try them in the store first.

        from Brazil

        Comments about Sony Noise Reduction Black Wireless Headphones:

        In my opinion, who are talking about this bad phone or purchased it with defective or not properly use this knowledge, I have one here and it works perfectly without interference or noises, and looks to have a wi-fi network at home with D-link router 635. I really liked the way it charges the battery and the duration of the load, not to mention the distance that he arrives, walk my whole apartment without losing the signal, I loved it, the only thing I missed was more severe, I am really enjoying it out of my purchase!

        By Ladyartsy

        from Dallas, TX

        Comments about Sony Noise Reduction Black Wireless Headphones:

        My hearing is not what it used to be. I can hardly hear the TV unless it's blaring. Now I can hear everything on the TV and not blow everyone out of the room. I can walk all the way back to the restroom with them on and still hear everything that's showing. Oh, and the music.... the music coming out of this headset from our TV shows is awesome. I love it.

          Don't buy if you have a wifi at home... really.

          Comments about Sony Noise Reduction Black Wireless Headphones:

          My advice: always buy wired Headphones. If you have a router and anything running on wifi, don't buy that, you'll regret it as much as I did.
