KD-55X8505c - Compatible 3D Glasses

Hi.

 

I just purchased a KD-55X8505c used since my old 3DTV have started to fail. I did check around to find compatible glasses before I bought it and found these on amazon.

 

https://www.amazon.se/gp/product/B08PB85PX7

 

I even wrote the seller to ask if they did work with this TV and the response I got back was that they would. Sad to say, when I got those glasses I just couldn't get them to sync at all. They did connect to the TV but nothing more. So, I had to send them back.

 

Since the TDG-BT500A aren't avaliable anywhere anymore I need to find some glasses that are compatible with my TV. I just want to check if anyone know for sure of any glasses that are avaliable to buy right now really work with this TV. I've found 'Hi-SHOCK BT/RF Pro Oxide Diamond' as well as 'XPand X105-RF-X1' and both of those are promised to work by their respective sellers. Does anyone know for sure if any of these glasses work?

 

I don't care if they're expensive, at least to a point, I just want working glasses.

Oh, forgot. If I could find Sonys own glasses, TDG-BT500A I would prefer to buy those even if they're expensive. I prefer things to work as intended.

My favourite bedtime reading is a Sony product manual…

Oh, how did I not find those?

 

Thanks a lot. I'll get a nice Postnord fine by buying from outside of EU but I guess it's worth it.

Hello - I have just had the same issue with KD-55S8505C. The Hi-Shock glasses were paired/recognised but were not actually shuttering correctly. I found the solution was to access settings, turn bluetooth off, then on. Then I turned on the glasses again and they worked. Bit awkward but at least they are working now.

Hey all

@BBonus glad to hear it worked for you

But as far as I know, that Sony TVs do not support 3D any more, that's why the functionality with the glasses is not stable.
