    Good product overall. Too bad Sony stopped making it, but you can still get it.

    Point taken. So it's pretty straight forward there are to input types 2 l-r banana type and 1 3.5 mm stereo jack. Just connect it to your output of your device and you're all set. really nothing to it.

    If your TV output from the stereo jack even when the volume is completely down, then sure why not. All this does is take the audio from and output and transmit it to the headphone.

    It's not a how to video but a review. The device takes an analog stereo audio and transmits it to the headphones. It's independent from the source. So you can connect it to whatever.

    Recently bought the Sony wireless headphones, but the problem is it is not working with my Acer TV. I bought the splitting adapter separately hoping it will work but NO.

In your video you mentioned the stereo jack, will it work, please let me know..

    I have the sister model to these that uses the same "battery pack" and it is done like that for the induction charging.
    All it is is 2 NiMH 1.5v AAA batteries and the higher the mAH you can put in the better.
    To change it:
    1) peel off the tape label and chuck it.
    2) the black plastic frame is in 2 pieces and just pull them apart.
    3) take out old batteries and put in new ones and replace the frame
    4) push the frame back in and they will lock in place.

However, I have the red and white cables plugged into the holder; however, my question is where do I plug it in to in the back of my TV.... Also can you tell me what the cable that would be the alternative connection looks like?

    How do you know when it's charged? I have them and unless I plug it into the socket for the first time when they're not on the charger it's not lit green anymore there's no light. When it's charging I don't know when they're done charging and also is it good when they're done charging to leave them on the charger or should I take it off.

    • @ureviews
      @ureviews  9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +Tyler Campbell there's no indicator when it's charged. The point of these is the battery never dies on you, I've used it for hours and then just plop it to charge and never worried about it. btw I was able to change the rechargeable batteries, you have to use the cradle that the original came in otherwise it won't charge. it must be pressing some switch to tell it it's rechargeable.

    AAA batteries fit and work fine. But I haven't used the base to charge my enloop rechargeable batteries. I assume the proprietary appearance of the pack is to prevent people from using non-rechargeable batteries and stupidly resting the headset in the base, damaging their alkaline batteries.

    You maybe have to educate yourself about the batteries placed inside of these headphones. They are rechargable, meaning that they are not supposed to be replaced. If you need to recharge them, just put the headset on it's stand. I've had the headphones for about 6 years, everything worked perfectly, except the already mentioned plastic creeking. Yesterday one of the heads broke off and well, it's kind of hard to repair that I geuss.
