I think these are o.k. but I don't love them next time I will get the kind with built in dvd player. I also had them proffessionaly installed with a lot of other components. I would say ask a car audio place it worth the money to not have the headache

Ours worked with no issues. If you've tried another set of headphones with no success then perhaps there is a defect.

Hi Andrea, I would love to help you here. Have you been able to pair them to any device or is it just the iPod 5 that you are having trouble with? Is the LED flashing blue/red alternately which indicates the headphones are in pairing mode? Please send us an email at support@lil-gadgets.com and we would be happy to help you further troubleshoot.Jacquieco-founder, LilGadgets

mine have not worked since I got them. Neither Sony nor Amazon was ready to make good on the headphones. I do not recommend them at all..

Glad to know that purchased videos work on the X-Fi. They did *not* work on the X-Fi Style that I bought, so I returned that one. Has anyone tried hooking the X-Fi to an external video screen? Any comments on how best to do that? If it's easy and inexpensive enough, I might try the X-Fi.Thanks, - Ted

I think the head phones are defective. I sent mine back because they didn't work on my phone, iPad, and other devices.

I agree with the other two posters, call the technical service and go over it with them. Since I have never bought a second set of headphones I'm not quit sure what the hookup procedure is. You could have defective headphones or there is a simple trick to make them work.Mike

Thanks for the response A.L. I originally had everything hooked up with HDMI -- both my HD-DVR cable box and my upconvert DVD player. My first thought was maybe it was the cables themselves, as I bought less expensive ones off Amazon. Tonight I went out and bought top of the line HDMI cables from Best Buy. Same problem! Then I figured I'd take the HDMI cables out of the equation and test my iPod using the auxiliary RCA jack on the front of the receiver. Same problem!I'm positive the speakers are connected correctly and completely. And these are also brand new -- the Onkyo SKS-HT540 7.1ch home theater set!I think I have a bum receiver. I listen to my morning TV at level 60. That just doesn't seem right. Thanks for the response A.L.

I would like to find out myself as my father is hearing-impaired and wireless headphones will prevent a tripping hazard. Sonystyle.com has wireless infrared headphones with rechargeable docking base for $49.95 (and up) that had received some good reviews. Infrared means you will need a clear line of sight from TV or receiver to the headphones. I am most likely going to have to buy w/o auditioning a pair. I am keenly interested in a set that is compatible with surround sound like DTS. I also bought the Sony KDL-46XBR9 bundled with Blu-ray player and HTSS360 HTIB (home theater in a box). The receiver has no headphone jack so I will need to set up the headphones via TV.

Unless you can find a way to convert an AV cable to a set of headphones, I can't think of anyway. Have you lucked out at all in trying to find a solution? I have the same problem.

I sent this back with the same problem and bought this which worked perfectly for me Orei DA21X Premium Optical SPDIF/Coaxial Digital to RCA L/R Analog... but I was hooking up to the optical audio out to it and into a wireless headphone RCA L/R connection and they work perfectly now.

Hi, I hope you have better luck with these than I did. At first, they played great but then one ear stopped working and the other followed. It would be a few seconds of working then off again they would go. I know this doesn't help you much. I hope you get them working. Mine were returned to amazon within 30 days. Cheers!

These headphones will not work with a TV without a separate IR transmitter. Home TV's do not have an integrated IR transmitter for audio.

Hmmm . . . I was in a room without television when I tried them, and I believe the set in the other room was off. I'll try again without any other electronics on and update. Thanks for the tip!

I bought these for use with my Sony TV and GMC Yukon DVD system because it was too hard to find replacement foam covers for the original headphone, and original replacements cost more than four of these. They work fine with both the TV and the GMC, regular IR systems. They should work with any IR system and with the Amazon return policy it's worth the risk to buy as many as you want, open and try one, and if they don't work, send them all back for a full refund.

see if the headphones are messed up . they should work, trust me mine work perfectly fine. you should have it fixed or looked at by someone that works at a place like radio shack.

I must have something hooked up wrong because my Roku does not work with my Sennheiser RS120 Headphones.I hear my TV fine but hear nothing that is Roku related. Can I do something differently? Do I need a blue tooth bridge? I would love a solution.
