    Disappointing purchase
    1 Star
    Disappointing purchase
    Disappointed from this purchase. Obviously it's more convenient to listen music or watch films in wireless headphones, die to this I've purchased Sony radio headphones. As a result it turned out that there are many disadvantages:- Constant buzzing when there's no music/sounds- For every little move or turning of your head you will hear hissing and interferences. This effect is even for little distance of 5 meters. When the distance is more than 9 meters it's almost not possible to listen to anything- There's no comfort in listening to music because of internal compressor: i.e. very loud sound of melodies without bass and beats, and rapidly becomes really quiet when comes to bass and beat part. Would be much better without the compression, it's not possible to turn it off =(- Quality of sound is also far from the good one: no sound clarity and panorama, rather weak bass, whistling on high frequencies, constant wheezing...I do not recommend this for purchasing.
