Sound quality is mediocre at best. Ear piece cushions are too rigid and uncomfortable. Most of my electronics are Sony and I am delighted with them. I was quite surprised that these were so poor.

Great sound and range. Performance of the headphones is great. However the Volume Wheel is in an akward place and does not extend enogh to be fully comfortable in its use. Needs to be tweeked.

This headset is comfortable and has decent sound quality. The usable range is about 50 feet which is a good match to my needs. However, it has one fatal flaw: It will not work reliably on the included NiMH batteries because it thinks they're dead when they deliver their rated output voltage. It works great on alkaline cells which output higher voltage, and it will work on fully charged NiMH cells that have been on charge immediately before use. However, it will not start if their charge cycle completed several hours before use. I received this unit as a gift last Christmas and registered it online at that time. However, Sony will not honor the 1-year warranty without uploading a proof-of-purchase which is n/a due to the gift situation. Even if Sony did, their fix is to send me a new battery pack when the problem is actually with the headset's threshold of low-battery detection. I've been thru this exact situation in the past, and expect the "new battery" fix would last just long enough to expire the warranty. As a result, I cannot recommend this product, which would otherwise rate 5 stars.... Read More  Hide

I bought these headphones thinking they would have more range that their predecessors, but not thus so far.
