Works with Honda Odyssey RES.......2007-12-08
I bought these for my 2003 Odyssey EXL with factory DVD system (RES) after reading a review that they would work. I also bought a pair of different Wireless IR headphones (Bravo IH-02A) which did not work. I researched to try to find out which Models/Brands would work with my vehicle, but didn't have much luck. I had to learn by trial and error, so hopefully this will help someone else out. I am not sure what other vehicles these will work with, although they should work with the i-VES system.
I gave 5 stars because of price and compatibility. They also seem sturdy, but time will tell how long they last. Do they sound as good as my Bose headphones? No, but the sound is clear and they didn't cost near as much. They fit my 3 and 5 year old really well and also adjust to fit an adult. I was concerned they would not fit a small child, but found they fit better than the Bravo's which are designed for kids. I ended up buying two more pair.
good set of headphones.......2007-11-06
Nice headphones for the price. Works well with my 2004 Honda Odyssey and at half the price as the Honda OEM headsets, quite a bargain. Will buy again if the kids destroy this set. Hopefully they will resist the use.
Thanks C. Thompson from Boulder. He helped with a good review for Honda's!!!
excellent product.......2007-10-29
I have a JVC DVD player I bought and had installed at Circuit City about 2 years ago. I needed 2 more headsets so that when my kids friends and cousins ride with us they too can watch and hear movies. I looked at BestBuy and Circuit City first for additional wireless headphones but they either did not carry them or they were over $50 a pair. So I bought these and they are great!
They are the exact same model as the ones that came with the DVD player. (which was not planned)
I simply put batteries in them (which came with them Surprise!) and they worked right away!
I am very happy.
Headphones.......2007-08-23
Very nice product but did not meet my needs and was incompatible with my equipment, so I had to return for refund. Merchant promptly refunded purchase price upon return of the headset.
Works great.......2007-07-10
We have a Honda Odyssey mini van and the stock headsets broke. Rather than paying $80 for another pair of stock headsets, we got these. We have a 5 year old and they fit his head a lot better than the stock headsets, they are more comfortable and robust. They also work great with the 2005 Honda Odyssey.

Good deal.......2007-12-01
I purchased as an add on for our 2006 Town and Country Mini Van Factory DVD system. They seem to work well. They also seem to fit my young children (3 and 5) better than the factory supplied headsets. I'm satisfied with the purchase.
Inexpensive but not very durable.......2007-04-19
I purchased one set of headphones to replace one of two that were part of a more expensive set.
At only $20 or so, this is a steal, but you get what you pay for. Reception is not as good, sound quality is not the best and those little pads continually fell off the ear piece. Ultimately, one of the sides came loose - I don't know how to explain it - and my husband glued it together.
Keep in mind my children are 7 yrs. old and 3 yrs. old - if you have older children this is probably a great deal!
surprising value.......2007-01-09
I bought these as an extra for the player we have in our van. We make a 2500 mile round trip at least once a year and my husband and I like to listen to the books on tape while the kids are watching movies. Our kids are 1,3,5 so I wasn't really expecting these to last more than a trip or two for the price. They are surprisingly sturdy, more so than the Rosens that came with the system. The sound quality is great for the kids and they fit them better than the other earphones. The only thing that may be a problem is that there is a part on the ear piece that snaps off and the kids liked to play with it at first, but it easily snaps back on without affecting performance. Overall I am extremely happy with this product.
Could be better.......2006-11-11
I purchased three of these headsets to go along with two others that we already had (one set was original to the Town & Country minivan and the other set was made by Audiovox). I like the overall quality of the headsets ok, but the thing that I like about Audiovox that this set lacks is an automatic shut off. We have replaced the batteries in all three sets already, but still haven't replaced them in the audiovox set (purchased around the same time). It is a bit irritating. I think the money I saved by buying this cheaper set is going to go towards batteries! The earpads are well cushioned and can snap off if flexed too far (I thought they had been broken at first), so that was a relief. The plastic casing is very thin and I'm afraid won't hold up all that well, but we'll see. Overall, they are a nice set if you aren't going to be using them all the time. If they are going to get frequent use I would opt for a better quality set (with an auto shut-off).

Nice set for the price.......2007-09-06
As everyone else stated these are for use when you are primarily going to be in-line with the transmitter at all times.
I use mine everyday for 8+ hours a day listening to Stern and love them.
I recommend these highly.
Pointless.......2007-02-09
I purchased a set of these new and was unable to get them to work further than 6 inches from the transmitter. This negates any value the wireless feature may have. Fortunately, the vendor refunded the purchase price.
I eventually got around the problem by attaching a 25 foot extension cord to a set of ordinary headphones.
On the plus side, the headband is extremely comfortable. I recommend this model to anyone who enjoys wearing headphones but isn't concerned whether they work or not.
Excellent value.......2006-02-06
I took the advice of others and went to Radio Shack--still on sale for $19.99 as of 2/5/2006. The sound quality is great, and they fit very well (the self-adjusting strap works great). I use it for watching TV on the treadmill. The volume control on the headphones increases volume substantially, enabling you to drown out external noise. Comes with several adapters (mini walkman type, large stereo headphone type, and RCA to go into the TV output). If you need wireless headphones to watch TV and you don't need top-line sound quality (and you don't want to spend a lot), GET THESE!!
Great.....for the right price.......2005-08-05
I just got these at Radio Shack on sale for 19.99! Well, you can't beat the price but there are some caveats.
1. The range is probably more like 15 feet, and you really need to be in direct line of the transmitter...walk out of the room or block the transmitter and you get nothing but static. But, if you are within range the sound is excellent. The headphones are also very comfortable.
2. The instructions that came with mine were wrong regarding the recharging of the batteries. The instructions say to turn OFF the transmitter while recharging, but the transmitter must be turned ON to charge the batteries. Radio Shack customer service was very apologetic in pointing this out.
For $20 I think they're great, but I would not be satisfied with them at their regular price. If they still have them at this price at Radio Shack I'd say rush out and grab a bunch...great for Christmas presents...
Great buy.......2005-07-24
I bought a refurbished pair last month and love them, For the price they're a steal. The sound is really good & with the surround sound they pick up background noises usually not heard.
They are very comfortable with padded ear cups, and have a good range also. Don't be scared off by the the price thinking they're cheap, try em' first then decide if you wanna upgrade.

Waste of time and money.......2007-06-27
The transmitter requires external power supply which is not included, though product description forgets to state that. I wanted to order power supply for extra money but couldn't find one. I even couldn't return it, because ANTonline didn't authorize return, but this is another story :-)

GREAT.......2007-12-21
My husband was driving me crazy with the LOUD TV. I go to bed before he does and I could hear the TV with the bedroom door closed! No More!!
Excelllent Headphones!!.......2007-12-18
These headphones are excellent! My "hubby" is always yelling at me to turn the T.V. down because I love to watch late night television. These wireless headphones are exactly the answer to my problem. I can watch T.V. as late as I want without bothering anyone. I highly recommend them. The sound quality is excellent, and there are no buzzing or interference sounds or noises. Buy them! You won't regret it!
You get what you pay for.......2007-12-17
These headsets have terrible reproduction of sound. They also have a lot of static. They are very flimsy and cheaply made. I would not recommend these unless your budget is EXTREMELY restrictive. Even then, it will be well worth spending a little more to get a lot more in return.
Too Much Static, My Husband Hates Them.......2007-12-13
Bought them for my husband for a Christmas Present Last Year. He wanted them for watching late night TV without distractions and unfortunately these ones have horrible static, therefore he hates them. Do yourself a favor and spend the money on a better pair.
Does what I want.......2007-12-12
Have had this product about a month. Has worked flawlessly. Self-adjusting headband has worked fine. You have option of using rechargeable battery that comes with unit, or if it runs down (which hasn't been an issue yet), using alkaline AAs. Sound has been excellent with TV, though if the TV signal is very marginal, there can be noise. Haven't tried with music. Appreciate the power switch on the phones, so I don't have to put it back in charging unit every night. Also has volume control on phone, though you'll get cleaner sound using volume control on TV. Ear pads comfortable and I appreciate them not being type that wraps around ears, so I can here my cat getting into trouble, etc. Good product, especially for price.

Amazon.com Product Description
These wireless headphones were designed to connect with your TV or stereo system. The wireless system allows you to move around the room without that pesky cord draping behind. It is easy to connect to TV, VCR, DVD or audio systems with the supplied connecting cord and plug adaptor. This system includes both transmitter and headphones.
The high power infrared transmitter incorporates multiple light-emitting diodes (LEDs) for an extended coverage range. The MDR-IF540RKs have a transmission range of twenty-four feet (ten feet when at a forty-five degree angle.) They also receive at a ninety degree transmission angle, ensuring that you have uninterrupted listening as you move around the room. The headband is self-adjusting and sports a snug-fitting wide band. The headphones require one AA battery. If you use an optional alkaline battery, you can expect an impressive one hundred hours of use. If you choose to save batteries, simply use the included rechargeable battery and the supplied transmitter/recharger. Using this recharging system, you can expect thirty hours of use.
The headphones are lightweight and comfortable, delivering quality sound. Sony has installed several technical features to the headphones to ensure a quality listening experience. The thirty millimeter drive units deliver deep bass, low distortion and a wide frequency response range (12 - 24,000 Hz). Ferrite magnets give the headphones high energy at a minimal size and weight. The PET diaphragms offer low distortion and resists bending and flexing. The open-air design allows for ambient noise to enter the ear, a safe and observant feature.
With the supplied UniMatch plug, it is easy to connect the transmitter to various sound sources. These plugs accommodate both the phone jack found on high fidelity components or the mini-jack found on video components. A single volume control is found on the right earpiece for simple volume adjustments. Finally, there is a automatic power switch on both the headphones and transmitter to help conserve battery and equipment life. (The unit turns back on when the transmitter detects a signal, while the headphones turn on when they sense their placement on your head.) The headphones weigh 6.3 ounce and are a modern black color.
What's in the Box
Sony MDR-IF540RK headphones, high-powered transmitter/recharger, NiCad rechargeable AA battery, connecting cable, UniMatch plug adaptor, AC power adapter and user's manual.

peace at last.......2007-11-11
Finally I can sleep in on the weekends when my husband is watching the 3 stooges at 7:00 a.m. I realized we needed a decent set of headphones and I poured over the reviews for hours. We are not into audio, or theater, so to spend hundreds of dollars did not seem reasonable considering our only use might be an hour or two a week. These sony headphones are very much worth the money. They were simple to hook up and actually the reviews indicated the only problem was the strange way you needed to put them back on the charger. It does take a moment and if you just try to drop them on the charger you might get frustrated. Take a moment to visualize the contact pins and you will quickly set them on correctly. Trying to do it blindly is a hit and miss.
If you are an audio or theater enthusiast, you might want to upgrade from here, but I think for even family entertainment they are a good value. We are pleased with the purchase.
NOT FOR THE TREADMILL!!!.......2007-11-10
These headphones work well when there are no other electronic devices nearby, but don't get too close to an incandescent light fixture and definitely don't try to use them on the treadmill. The electric motor causes major interference which generates so much static they are not usable.
WOW!.......2007-09-10
I had originally thought that there would undoubtedly be something wrong with a pair of wireless headphones that boasts so many features with a paltry price tag of $70. I can easily say now that I own them that I would have paid $150 or more for them, they are simply that good.
First and foremost the Bass is just excellent with great drivers making for powerful bass while listening. Using this on my TV, the bass alone makes me want to watch more Action flicks, which brings me to another feature --
The Rumble feature. This sucker really helps to immerse you into whatever experience you are having with whatever media you are using. I can't wait to try them out on Jurassic Park!
If these features haven't sold you, then the rechargeable batteries (NiMH that can technically also be charged in a Sony Rechargeable NiMH dock, which I also own) that charge on a dock and require only minimal recharging might just do the trick. Why do I say this? Well, to be honest I've saved what I consider to be the best feature for last --
It automatically turns itself off when not being used. There is a strap that automatically adjusts to your head; When the strap is pushed up by the head, the headset automatically turns on, but when the headset is taken off and the strap falls back to its original position, the headset automatically turns off saving HOURS of battery life, and allowing for possibly the most laziness of any headphone product I've ever used.
To be honest, there is only one problem with these headphones -- if you turn the volume up on the headphones past about 5, you will hear the fuzz from the wireless connection rather loudly. This isn't too big of a problem for me, though, because I can turn up my TV pretty loud, which makes the audio more than loud enough for me to hear on a lower setting FUZZ FREE. Thusly, I have to say that I hadn't expected anything like this from Sony, and I am so impressed that I have to give this five stars.
works fine.......2007-05-25
the wireless headphone works fine and it met all the specification it said....
Not good for laptop users in bed.......2007-05-13
I bought this to listen to the tv while my fiance' sleeps but also often use the laptop while in bed and watching. The problem is that since this if IR based it needs a clear line of sight to the receiver and the lapscreen cause interference.
Like other reviews I confirm it is a major pain trying to get the headphones on the charger just right to charge. Look for one that uses induction.
