Sony MDRRF811 Wireless headphones

[ste223uk55]

Hi all, I've just bought some of the above named wireless headphones and have just tried to use them for the first time.
They seem to have quite a substantial 'hissing' noise which runs continuously?
Is this to be expected or are they faulty?
I have tried both of the different settings but it is exactly the same?
Any ideas?

Hi there

Sounds like your having some reception issues.  Firstly try changing the channel on the transmitter and headphones.  See Picture:

Secondly, have a read through these tips to see if they can assist.

Thanks for your reply. I ended up taking them back for a refund and they also kept turning off after 3-5 minutes and the only way of turning them back on was to unplug the transmitter from the mains,counting to 10 and plugging it back in again......for another 3-5 minutes!!!!!

Must have been a faulty set!?!

Does anyone have any suggestions for alternatives?

Hi there

Yeah, sounds like they where a faulty set in the end. 

Depending on how far your budget stretches and for what purpose, but I would recommend the MDR-DS6500.  I have a pair and they are fantastic!!  No hiss, clear as anything.

Hi

Ive had a quick search, but cant find the receiver on its own unfortunately.  A few months ago, i tried to find a set of Sony hheadphones, without the reciever and couldnt find any.  It apppears it is the same in reverse..
