Sony Mdr-Xd200 - Acoustic Research Wireless Headphones Review






by Brooklyn Martinez


Every time you take the earphones from the charging cradle you have to synch the earphones to the cradle. This is an annoyance. Here's a quick review for you. The quality is absolutely great, and the range is incredible.

Unlike others I do get headaches from the cushions, which are positioned on the sides of the head center. Somehow these cushions seem to press on some nerves and after a few minutes I get headaches that emanate from these pressure points. They sound great! The controls are hard to use without actually taking the headset off and looking at which buttons you are pressing. Like a new remote control on a new TV, yes, it does require some getting used to but we have had fantastic feedback otherwise. These are simply the best full-sized wireless headphones that I have heard. His first comments about the product came before it was even out of the box. The outside of the box literally has instructions on how to open the packaging!

The volume and balance are controlled by small, low-profile buttons on the outside of the right ear cup. For me, it's been tough to find and operate those buttons by feel. The wireless range extends through multiple walls (YMMV). I've had these about a week and I think they're great. Customer service tells me that extra headsets are not available until around June. These headphones also come with rechargeable batteries.

They are however vented so you can still hear load external noises like your wife yelling at you to turn the TV off. I've had these for a month or so now.

They're also fairly easy to open (the fit of the plastic container containing the actual headphones and base was a bit snug, so there was a bit of tugging there). Setting the headphones up is very easy. There's no hiss or background noise thanks to the KLEER technology. And the sound is as good as the Sennheiser HD595 they replaced. I believe another reviewer said that these headphones would make you hate your speakers. And I have fine speakers.

Also, you have to turn the base on to listen to stuff. The previous models turned on automatically when there was a signal.
