I purchased the Sony MDR-if230 headphones off ebay for about £15 as my neighbour has been round twice in the daytime because my Neil Diamond has been far to loud.....which it was.So to be a good citizen I purchased the infared headphones hoping all would be well.
They are very attractive (as an inanimate object can be) in black plastic and are very comfortable on the old lugholes! The headphones included the generic inclusion of foamy supports for the ears.

Our speakers are also linked up to the television which allows us to watch TV using the headphones, while not disturbing others in the house embarking on a different activity - usually my partner surfing the net!
Now for the bad points, unfortunately the whole product is ruined by the constant hissing which becomes more and more noticeble as time goes on. This totally ruined my Neil Diamond experience, and I had to resort to the nosey neighbour knocking on my door every few minutes!
Needless to say the headphones have joined the pile in the unused electical equipment graveyard.
You can buy this headphones from all good electrical suppliers, if you are so inclined, but I wouldn't recommend it.
