If you don't need active noise cancellation and something portable you can do WAY better on sound quality.
Yeah, I have just been listening to them and not that impressed to be honest, I prefer my B&W P7 headphones.
I mainly bought them to listen to my TV wirelessly though and should do that ok though, I will see.
Actually I really like these more than my B&W P7 headphones and they are well more comfy!

My friend bought some at Gatwick airport Dixons Travel last month. I think he paid about £220 after various discounts. I only had a brief listen on the plane, but they sounded good to me and the noise cancellation is a great way to block out the surrounding world.

Noise cancelling is great, especially if you listen on the move - they're brilliant for drowning out plane noise. But, if you're listening at home and don't have other people around to annoy you or be annoyed, I think you can't beat a good pair of open-backed headphones. No extra electronics for handling calls, or playing around with the sound. If there for home and there are people around, I'd still go for closed-back without noise cancelling...

I have done that guys but still really quiet. The Sony headphones doesn’t have a volume button on them I haven’t seen one anyway. I have turned up the volume on the TV button for the headphones.
It was the same with my AKG pair too really quiet.

Cheers Buzz. It will be lightyears away before he uses them on the plane again

Did wonder. I know there have been numerous issues/complaints about Samsung TVs and Bluetooth headphones. Basically saying that only Samsung headphones work properly with Samsung TVs and that the "Bluetooth" on the TVs was far from standard...
Only workaround seems to be to adjust the volume on phones on another paired device (phone say) and then connect them to the TV. If that doesn't work, there's not much you can do...
Unless you've got an amp plugged into the the TV, and could connect via the amp??
