I would prefer an AC/adapter option for powering headphones, as an alternative to batteries. Re-chargeable battery is proprietary in design, forcing you to buy replacement from Sony, which is good for them, bad for us.
For what its worth: These headphones work, so far. They are poorly designed in comfort and fit to head.
I'm looking for products that last for years, so a review after less than 2 months is of limited value. Specs substantially understate battery charging times.
Internal springs continually pull them back into their smallest configuration. They should stay where you adjust them to, unless another user readjusts.
I probably won't buy Sony again, unless they change allow generic replacement batteries. How green would that be.
I have no complaints in the few weeks that i have used the headphones. Battery life seems to be good, sound quality is great, and no complaints with the distance, but we have a smaller bedroom where distance is not a factor. They are also very easy to use.
Bought this and its all crackly sounding unless I stand in one section of the room and for some reason its worse when the picture on the tv is brighter, so thats kind of a bad and worse scenario. Spend the money on a better head set.
Looking for an aid in watching TV, Spouse has hearing problem and needed higher audio levels that were uncomfortable for me.Read reviews,did some homework and settled on the Sony MDR 240. We sit 9 to 11 feet from the TV, well within the published range and get super reception. After 2 months we are very pleased with the product. Easy set up( under 10 minutes), excellent clarity and volumn control. With the IF system there is no interference issues from other wireless devices.The IF system sends out a cone shaped signal so you can do some limited walking in the same room with no audio interruption. Since you need line of sight,if you leave the room you loose the signal - no big deal since it works great for what we intended.Works so well we bought a second unit for the bedroom.
Bought these headphones as a replace for same model for patient at nursing home. Found them to be very easy for him to handle. However, first set had better sound; second set had a low hum in background.
