One of the best Christmas presents ever! Thank you!

Got this for my husband and was told it was very simple to connect. Haha I am not tech savvy at all so a family member connected it but audio would only come through the left. I searched and came upon your explanation and inserted the red and white to the cable box and voila! Of all things it works. Thank you so much for putting this out there for people like me.

[@adriantorres479]

Thank you for explaining it all, i was debating getting these headphones for my tv and you really helped me decide on these! thank you.

[@MagnumVideos]

You're very welcome. Thank you for watching and for the comment.

[@scratchgolf]

there are red and white outputs for audio on tvs as well. like a smart tv for example.

New sub here. I found your video helpful for the Sony WH-RF400 Wireless Headphones. 🎧🔉🔊🎶 I purchased this set approximately 1 year ago on Best Buy's website. Because of the insanity caused by the C19, hooking-up headphones was the last thing on my mind. Finally, I had to find a video to help guide me, and your ytube video helped a lot. Thank you very much! 👍

[@melodypeugh3870]

Thanks, Magnum! I’ve been considering wireless headphones for someone in my house who likes the volume up on the tv

[@tinav6806]

I love this!! Love your content :D

[@bigdog7229]

Thanks for the info, you have a better explanation of the hookups than the Best Buy associates told me. Let me just add a few things that I went through. My Samsung tv has rca jacks but you have to use settings to set for tv to audio and you have 4min to do this or your transmitter will shut down! So your tower light goes out and the power only works for the charger! How do you turn the power back on, you have to hook your audio to an active output! Turns out my tv RCA jacks were not working! So I hooked up to the dish network receiver and now everything works perfectly, to separate independent channels. Thank you, thank you,thank you!!! One more thing, the charger tower explained, no matter what the battery level is if you have it on the charger and you remove it after 2 seconds or 6 hours it starts another 7 hour cycle before the red light goes off!

Which headset would work with a Sony Bravia xbr55x81. We have one spectator hard of hearing and one who would like to use the tv speakers. No cable box?

[@corinnaflores154]

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! I am so glad I found your video on KZbin! You helped me by mentioning to plug the headphones into the cable box! 😊 I spoke to numerous support agents online from Best Buy and Samsung and not one of them mentioned to plug the headphones in the cable box. You are a lifesaver!!! Aloha!

Hello, first time ever seeing your account. I discovered it because I saw you at a stop light today and saw the logo on your car, so I looked it up. So far I'm liking the videos! Keep it up😊

Why thank you so much for the comment. I hope you keep watching.

[@bob51502001]

I am returning mine as i do not have a cable box...so either headphones or tv speakers is the set up. I dont want to rnr the jack everytime i wanta use them

[@stevenrapp3217]

I just purchased these today...(April 2023).....my TV is about a year old, however, I see this video is 2 years old so things do change. My point is.....You are correct that plugging in the cable will disable the output of the TV.....UNTIL....I went into the TV setup and was able to select both TV output AND headphone output. Now I can listen on the headphones while my wife listens at a volumn level from the TV that only she and dogs can hear. (smile) (quick edit......I should also point out that her selection of volumn from the TV has no impact on my adjusted volumn on the headset. In fact.....she can mute the output of the TV and I can still listen perfectly.)

[@rich2376]

If your tv has digital audio out optical will the wh rf400 work with that connection,?

[@buckley478]

How do I use my TV speakers again with out unplugging the aux cord?

[@jand3163]

These headphones work for youtube on my tv, but not for Britbox or Netflix, the transmitter blinks green but not sound from the headphones.

Handy tutorial for hooking up wireless headphones without disabling TV speakers.

[@haroldwiebe510]

The box instructions say to charge the rechargeable battery before using but it didn’t come with a charger. How do you charge the battery?

[@MagnumVideos]

You put it on the charging unit that plugs into the wall. It's the little tower that it rests on for charging.

[@PalmettoMoon]

I like Sony with a passion but, if you want to hear some good headphones... I've talked to a couple of different people that put their Bose on the shelf for a set made by, Mixcder. I bought a set of the Mixcder headphones and I'm blown away. They are by far the best sounding headphones I've ever heard. I tried them on with the noise canceling on while I was on my riding mower and I could not even hear my mower running while cutting the grass. It has the option to turn on or off noise canceling. They are Bluetooth but can be wired. I have a Bluetooth receiver going in to the TV in our bedroom so I can watch TV and not disturb my wife while sleeping.

[@MagnumVideos]

Sounds like you've got it covered! Thanks for providing another option for those who might want to shop around and check all the possibilities. It's good when you find the perfect fit.

[@wn8022]

Thank you sir. I just bought those headphones for my girlfriend. Great review. 👍👍👍

[@wilkinsolk]

Why wont my rf400 work on my new lg smart tv should i have gotten a bluetooth

[@caroleplunkett4681]

Do you turn of the switch to off when your done and put back in the charger or leave it on the on position??

[@MagnumVideos]

We turn it off.

[@sigmamanpirho]

Question: Are you able to use multiple headsets on one transmitter?

[@MagnumVideos]

Good question. I'm not sure how you would hook that up without some kind of additional audio output or signal splitter. Maybe someone else can chime in with more info.

Thank you very much!

@magnum you deserve my subscription, and i will tell you why. I am looking for some headphones for my granfather. He is 92 years old, and he has trouble listening the tv. So i found this video and in your video you ansewr my most important question. How to do for all of us can listen the TV and you are right, plugging the transmiter on the tv box. Thank you so much fo the video it was really usefull for me and other people.

[@MagnumVideos]

Thanks so much for the kind words. I appreciate you. I hope the headphones work well for him.

[@faruqmirza5934]

Does it get connected with cellphone directly just like bluetooth headphone??

[@michaelbroadway2629]

Don't know. It doesn't have bluetooth. I've only used it with the television.

[@brandiveals315]

Can you plug it to you phone

[@Cake_VR276]

i didnt know theese were menant for the tv lol i just wanted a new pair of over ears for my labtop :D

[@alexandermolina3689]

So these are not Bluetooth? Sorry I might be listening wrong so if I am please tell me

[@harishbhatt1962]

I am struggling to make it work with SAMSUNG TV, that has Digital Audio Output, not successful yet. Does anyone have helping answer?

[@MagnumVideos]

If you have cable tv box, plug the charger into the audio output of the cable box. That allows you to hear through the headphones and also doesn't disable the TV speakers.

[@harishbhatt1962]

@@MagnumVideos No TV Box. Besides my Samsung Model does not have Bluetooth. The TV has Digital Audio (Optical)

[@Jagster7k]

You never spoke about the most important question on everyone’s mind. What is the sound quality like?

[@markovujanic3195]

I am assuming you can’t use them for the laptop and phone?

[@MagnumVideos]

I wish I could answer that. If I remember right, it does have a 3.5mm jack you can plug in. Sorry I don't know the answer.

[@deder746]

What a cool tune at the end! where can I find it? 🙏

Can I purchase a Transmitter separately I lost mines while teaveling.

[@MagnumVideos]

I have no idea, but I would suggest you contact Sony and see if they can get you fixed up.

[@Ksweet2015]

@@MagnumVideos Sony, been outta business for a few years now! Thanks anyway.

[@Metalfreak327]

Do these headphones connect via bluetooth to an ipad ?

[@MagnumVideos]

I don't think so. You need to physically connect the transmitter/charger to the audio source. You can plug it into your TV headphone output (and mute the tv speaker) or into your cable box audio line and keep the tv speakers active along with the headphone. Volume adjustment on both in independently controlled.

[@williamterry9819]

Question in Oct ‘23: I have been through 3 sets of these phones and the headphone on the side with the on/off switch always stops working. The headphone on the side with the volume works as advertised. Why the headphone failure on this “left” side? SONY provides ZERO support! Thanks!

[@MagnumVideos]

Williamterry -- I have no idea why that would be happening. We have had no issue whatsoever other than having to buy a new battery. The old one just quit recharging after a year or so and only lasted an hour or so after being on the charger overnight. I'm not an electrical wizard but it sounds like something isn't making good contact, but I'm not sure. If it was me, I might cannibalize one of them that's stopped working and see if you see anything that's come loose. I'm sure that's not much help, but you might try taking it back to the store (if you didn't buy it online) and see if anyone there in their "Geek Squad" or whatever can provide some help. For the price you paid for them, they shouldn't be doing that. Also, it may be an issue with the transmitter that plugs into the TV. Or the wiring that connects it. I'm just throwing out any possible failure points here that come to mind. Sorry I can't be more help. Good luck. Let me know if you get it figured out or get any help from Sony. I'd like to know.

[@edrooney9368]

You did not mention how to change the battery on Sony 400 headphones cannot figure it out and cannot find a video

[@MagnumVideos]

That's a great question. Without having them in front of me, I don't know the answer. I didn't cover that since this item uses a rechargeable battery and it's not something you would need to change very often. Sorry I can't be more help than that, but I would suggest looking the headphones over and see where the battery is located. It may be in the charging base but without checking it, I can't say that's the case. The next time I look at them I'll try to find an answer for you.

[@yelenalv8147]

Hello thank you so much for this video, I have a problem we hooked everything up and they’re fully charged however, there is static noise in the headphones, we tried changing the channel in the back of the charging box there white button and at the same time I pressed the channel changing button on the headphones but nothing I’ve tried is going perfect sound it’s very staticky to the point where it’s extremely annoying and I’d rather watch i the tv and listen to all the background noise that the family makes 😅 did you encounter this at all, any tips you can give me?

[@MagnumVideos]

I think there is some type of button for "auto tune" or something like that (??) Does this happen on every channel you watch? There are a couple of other buttons but I can't recall what they are. Are you very far from the TV when this happens? Or is there any other equipment running that might be adding some interference? Sorry I can't provide any quick fix.

[@user-jm9pk1io7k]

Yes the staticky problem is very annoying. That's because the connecting points of the wires are very sensible. You have to play with their positions very patiently until the sound is perfect, both sides of the connections misplaced cause the static and not the channels. They must rtest on a rug and not on a place where they are easily displaced.

[@Nexo1111]

Does that connect to phone and mac ?

[@nirolmahi4811]

I’m here to ask the same question did you find the answer yet?

[@nirolmahi4811]

Can we not connect this to our iphone?

[@MagnumVideos]

I'm not sure, but I doubt it. It's wireless so there's nothing you can plug into your iPhone.

[@abjectt5440]

They're great until the ear pads fall apart. I tried everywhere trying to find replacements. It allows the compressed foam to push the headphones away from your ears which lowers the quality. It's too bad because I really like them.

[@MagnumVideos]

Thanks for the heads up on that.
