Got this as a Christmas gift, and altough I'm not very fond of Sony I got rather excited with this particular headset,I own some old Sony IR wireless headset wich after ages of use, this was gonna be the replacement: RF instead of IR, better sound, better built, etc.

So it all looked good, there I was setting up the system, replacing the old and very much used old ones by this new and best set, it all looked fine, the problems came later, perhaps it's were I live but man there is hiss in the background, what a dissapointment the RF signal, I tested the 3 channels and in the 3 of them there was some random RF interference (like when we're tunning a radio station), this is really a problem to me and I gonna return these by another set (odds are it won't be another Sony).

One thing I found rather ridiculous and wich I think I must warn potencial buyers is that the manual actually said that placing the transmitter next to a tv might cause interference, that's exactly I want to do!! Connect it to the tv set so my wife can sleep when I'm waching tv in the bedroom. One other thing I didn't like (but could live with) is the batery consumption, according to the manual, they are only good for 18H, with my old IR receiver the bateries lasted much much more. (this I don't think it's a problem of this model, but of all of the RF headsets).

On the bright side, I must say the bass were very good.

In conclusion, if you want a headset to band your head listening to loud music this may be one for you, if you want to connect them to a tv and listen to movies/shows where people aren't shouting all the time, there are probably better options since the RF interference will bother you.
Like I said before I'm gonna return this, and try some different RF headset, if the interference continues, I think I'll buy another IR headset
