Summary: As they say, they're bad.
Review: All the negative reviews are correct. Why I did not check Amazon before I bought them in a shop I'll never know. I'm stuck with these headphones that are pretty much useless. For one they ruin the enjoyment of music because of all the static. You maybe sitting only a couple of feet away from the transmitter but turn your head this or that way and it's all over. I cannot get a good clean clear signal. I can't believe how bad the wireless technology is with this product. Forget walking about the house with these. I can't get a good signal when I'm sitting next to the transmitter! No matter at what volume I have the things set at it's just not acceptable to be hearing all pops, static and hiss.
Also if no audio signal is detected after a few minutes they'll turn off - when this happens you'll be blasted with a wall of loud static white noise. Not good.
As a side note it's a real fiddle to get the things back into the cradle and lined up so they'll charge. Yuck. Avoid at all costs.

Summary: Its not worth even $1
Review: I can't believe how this headphone which can't recieve clear sound even in 2 feet distance from its transmitter can be thrown on the market. I did everything but I couldnt solve the static noise problem.
There is a part which says 'Up to 150-foot transmission range with manual frequency tuning/reception' in this headphones manual and Amazon's 'product details' part. When I decide to return this headphone, on Amazon's page about the returning reasons, there were no choices like `wrong information for the product'. The closest was `The product is not as I expect'. Thats why, now I have to pay for delivery for the product which is good-for-nothing.

Summary: not there yet...
Review: I wanted headphones to use with my guitar amp. and home theater system at home.I was reluctant to try wireless systems because I had negative experiences before, but then I thought hey, wireless headphones have been around long enough to achieve the level of sophistication. Well I was wrong. There is no way to totally eliminate the noise in these headphones, even so close to the transmitter. (I made several tests, making sure no object was interfering) .The slightest noise in headphones is enough to bother users, so wireless headphones is an area that requires absolute perfection. Bottom line,this set does not provide that. I'm wondering if bluetooth or higher frequencies have resolved the issue, but yet they're expensive. For now, I will extend my wired headphone cord.

Another problem is placing the headphone on the charger, it requires some attention and skills...

Summary: Absolutely horrible
Review: These headphones should not even be on the market.
They are horrible even sitting directly in front of the transmitter. I would disconntinue this item and if I was smart I would have returned them. Norm

Summary: Not as bad as others say
Review: Wife and I each received a pair of these for Christmas. We use them mostly for watching TV and movies at night when the little one is in bed. The tuning takes a bit of patience, but once I had them dialed in, they work great. The output from the TV is very high, and seems to help eliminate any static or interference. (There's a mention in the instructions about turning the volume on the source up high, I think this is missed by many users.)

I can walk around the house (even the basement) and listen to music or the TV with only an occasional crackle at the far end of the house. Battery life seems good, and the charging cradle is a great idea. It takes a bit of attention to make sure the headset "latches" onto the base properly, or it won't charge. Oddly enough they seem lighter than you would expect based on the size. Sound quality is quite good, considering there are no headphones I've ever heard of that produce bass you can FEEL.

I'm not sure why there are so many poor reviews of these units.. it may be intereference, or the output level, or possibly, Sony updated the design to improve reception and reduce noise.
