Don't let your headphones cramp your style... go wireless, and roam free. Sony's MDR-RF960RK 900 MHz RF Wirless Headphones have a transmission range of 150 feet, allowing you to move about your house or yard without missing a beat (or word). The 900 MHz radio frequency delivers high quality sound, and the 30mm driver units provide deeper bass, lower distortion and a wider dynamic range.

These lightweight headphones are easily recharged by placing them on the transmitter, and the package includes rechargeable NiMH batteries. The MDR-RF960RK come with automatic tuning for optimal reception of signal.
 

Features
Double Headband with self-adjusting mechanism conforms to the curve of your head for a fit that stays comfortable even during extended listening sessions.
Volume Control is rotary type for easy, convenient adjustment.
3 Transmission Channels help ensure optimum signal reception; convenient tuning control on headphones.
Automatic Power On/Off for both headphones and transmitter conserves battery life; transmitter turns on when it senses an input signal; headphones turn on when you place them on your head.
Automatic Tuning on Headphones for best reception of signal.
Complete Kit supplied, includes transmitter, headphones, connecting cord, UniMatch® plug adapter and AC power supply.
Supplied Connecting Cord goes directly to headphone output of your high fidelity system for easy connection to hi-fi system, TV or VCR.
Wireless design lets you move inside and outside your house and still enjoy music and TV sound, and lets you turn up the volume late at night without disturbing others.
150 Foot Transmission Range for listening enjoyment upstairs, downstairs, virtually everywhere in your home and outside in your backyard.
900 MHz Radio Frequency (RF) Transmission provides better sound quality and greater range than earlier wireless systems, and uses the same advanced technology as 900MHz cordless telephones.
Mute Function helps eliminate noise through the headphones and cuts out the sound when no audio signal is available
30mm Diameter Driver Units are larger than many portable headphones for deeper bass, lower distortion and wider dynamic range; low frequency response extends down to 20Hz.
PET diaphragms ensure high rigidity for minimum distortion, and low mass for excellent high-frequency response.
Ferrite Magnets combine high energy and small size for ample sound output.
Comfortable closed type headphone system fit securely for maximum frequency response reception.
FM Transmission System resists static and distortion for higher fidelity; convenient sliding selector control on the side of the transmitter.
Easy Rechargeable Battery System automatically charges the headphones when placed onto the transmitter.
Included NiMH rechargable batteries are more convenient than ordinary replaceable batteries, and when fully charged provide up to 20 hours of operating power.

1 of 5 Hiss, Hiss, Hiss Thursday, November 29, 2007
Comcaster from Valley Springs, CA  

I was excited when these were delivered, but quickly became aggravated when I was unable to quiet the background hissing from these headphones. I tried everything I know to do including relocating the transmitter to other locations, raising the volume on my computer and lowering the volume on the headset, but nothing works, so they have been disconnected and stored since the day after I got them. I really wanted to like them but I cannot abide the constant hissing these produce. There are far cheaper headsets out there, and I am disenchanted with Sony Corp over this product.
