"Cans" Do The Job - Infrared Wireless Headphones Review

By Chris Lee


I am no audiophile, however I do listen to songs all day long while at the office. As I don't claim to be an audiophile, I had been quite happy with these budget headphones. They sound okay but, they get uncomfortable before long.

The only real downside that I noticed is it's two modes: film and songs, and switching between the two doesn't actually make a difference. Music quality: I am not an audiophile, so I can't provide technical details, however the music that I play (be it Def Leppard or Lang Lang) sounds "full" with adequate treble and bass. If you research this set of headphones on Sony's (the maker) site, it seems to indicate it's about a 1m (3 foot) cord, with a 2m extension for a total around 10 feet. But based on what you are using them to hear, the sound might be somewhat muffled. They are truly comfy and the quality of sound is excellent. Though, the cord is simply too long. Colleagues adjacent to my cube can listen to almost anything I play. For a $25 set of headphones, sound is nice! I previously had the black over the head earphones that cost about the same. I purchased these to listen to music on my small Ipod and play games. Only thing is, I can not hear any difference after I change from Music to Film modes. These headphones are extremely great for sound and quality. Opened the infrared wireless headphones up a 1/2 hour ago. Cant wait to use them with an approaching red eye flight, I may use these headphones all day long without getting drained so I suggest them.

An excellent product for that price; however, what it really lacks is a comfortable headband to go along with its plush ear-covers. They're very good for blocking out outside sound. General I would say these headphones are horrible. I have no issues with them. I really like that the head band is open, so it doesn't overheat you. The letter s and the letter f are heard in a high end pitch.

If you are planning to listen all night at any given time, these should feel fine.

While they are comfortable and produce decent sound, they're made from cheap plastics and are not well worth the money if you don't like hearing squeaking, creaking and cracking noises from the plastic parts each time you move your face.

Only one problem: the merchandise doesn't quite match the description on Amazon: "Features include high-energy neodymium magnets, a 2.5m extension cord and a convenient sound mode change to match the sound source. It is like something is going on behind you.
