Summary

Don't let your headphones cramp your style... go wireless, and roam free. Sony's MDR-RF960RK 900 MHz RF Wirless Headphones have a transmission range of 150 feet, allowing you to move about your house or yard without missing a beat (or word). The 900 MHz radio frequency delivers high quality sound, and the 30mm driver units provide deeper bass, lower distortion and a wider dynamic range.

These lightweight headphones are easily recharged by placing them on the transmitter, and the package includes rechargeable NiMH batteries. The MDR-RF960RK come with automatic tuning for optimal reception of signal.
