5 out of 5 stars Hissless headphones.......2006-08-13

I bought those headphones based on two things: I did not wanted RF phones because I did not like high EM radiation level when head is close to the transmitter and because this model does not have any hiss. Those phones sounds terrific, especially when connected to optical digital input and 5.1 signal is sent to decoder. I disagree with previous reviewer about non-adequate low frequency reproduction; those phones have enough medium and low frequency responses that will hurt you ears if volume is loud enough. He/she might have a defective model. Make sure that signal input switch is set to `0' dec. because default is `-8' (to reduce very strong input signal). What I love about those phones is that you can hear very faint music or conversation in the background while somebody shoot a weapon in foreground. Very nice channels separation. Also, most IF (infra red) headphones have a hiss when IF signal is weak. This is an IF technology limitation. I tried Sony, they had it. Panasonic solved this problem: those headphones have no hiss at all and this is very important when watching a movie or listen to the music for several hours. Do not buy cheap 69 doll RadioShack phones, they won't be able reproduce high frequencies; better spend 200 doll. and get Panasonic. The only disadvantage I found is you should be very careful when putting phone back on the cradle; it takes some training to put them right on the recharging pins. And lastly, why buy DTS, Dolby digital decoding headphones to listen to the music from the cheap sound card of a laptop? You will only get a pseudo stereo though decoder. Those phones are designed to provide best sound quality with digital signals from DVD players and digital receivers. I connected mine with optical cable to the optical output of Sony digital receiver. Movies, such as "Lord of the ring" sounds life like real.

1 out of 5 stars Go with the higher end Pioneer or wired Bose.......2006-07-27

I bought these headphones based on glowing reviews and a desire for a quality wireless set of headphones. I found these very disappointing. I have not set up the digital cable, but with my laptop headphone connection the sound has entirely too much treble with little to no bass. There's so much treble that it hurts your ears and makes you cringe, and the pads on the headphones hurt too after 30 minutes. Even adjusting the EQ and the different sound modes doesn't make these headphones sound any better, and having tried the $400 true surround Pioneer wireless headphones I'd rather go with those or a wired Bose because these heaphones are not what they're cracked up to be. If you don't like bass or depth in your sound, then these are for you. Otherwise, avoid like the plague and don't buy em.

5 out of 5 stars Absolutely no hiss.......2006-01-11

These headphones are amazing. There is absolutely no hiss. They also automatically turn on when you wear them, which is really cool and very handy. They are also light.

I have only two complaints, but they don't detract from my 5-star rating. One, the cushion is too small for my ears, so after about an hour or two it does get a little uncomfortable. Two, the box has a picture of two people, both wearing headphones and using one transmitter. However, this configuration is not really supported by Panasonic, because you can't buy just another pair of headphones. It would really nice if Panasonic would sell another headphone and a recharging station at a lower price, but they don't.

UPDATE: J&R occasionally has these headphones in stock, although they have been replaced by the RP-WF6000. I bought another pair anyway, and I'm happy to say that the new ones are identical to the old ones. That is, both headphones pick up the IR signal from one base station.

5 out of 5 stars Panasonic Rocks!! Excellent Wireless Headphones.......2005-07-31

For those of you looking for a set of wireless headphones, I would highly recommend these. Before puchasing these, I had bought a couple of other sets from Sony and Senneheiser. However, these were both with the 900 MGHZ functionality. I found the Senneheiser to be far better than the Sony but each still gave off a low hiss. In addition, you could not control the volume on the TV seperately from the headphones. Thus, when you turned down the volume on the TV the volume on the headphones went down accordingly. This was not why I was buying a set of headphones. So, both went back.

I then decided to go with an infra red type due to feedback I had read from some other users about similar problems they had with the 900 MGHZ headphones. My decision came down to either this set or the wireless infrared set from Sony (MDR-DS3000). I decided on these due to my bad look with the first set of Sony's I bought. I can definitely say that I am very satisfied with the Panasonics. The sound quality is excellent with not a peep of hiss. There is a switch on the base which allows you to listen in one of three different sounds expereinces - music, cinema, and voice. If you have equipment that allows digital hook-up, then you can take advantage of the digital input option. What I like best about these headphone is the fact that they are extremly comfortable. Well worth the extra money.

        3 out of 5 stars Sony DRU820A .......2007-09-24

        OK Drive. Has problems burning DVD-R video disks. Though burning completes successfully, DVD-R disks (tried several different high quality brands)aren't read well by a temperamental DVD player. Same disks burn fine on other DVD burner.

        5 out of 5 stars Sony DRU820A Internal DVD+/-RW .......2007-03-09

        This unit works great, I have had no problems at all burning any discs (DVD or CD)

        1 out of 5 stars Poor Quality.......2007-02-24

        Bought this drive in September 2006. Now, instead of reading CD's or DVD's, it only makes a clicking noise. Sony technical support is horrible. Buy another brand.

        5 out of 5 stars Ease of use and great product.......2007-01-23

        Installation was simple, and the software is easy to use. I have had this product for some time now, and it certainly does what it is supposed to do. An excellent upgrade for your computer.

        You get what you're told, this is an overall excellent driver it burns in a flash and its quite stylish.
