I have never been disappointed with any Sony headphones I have owned for the past 35 years. But the last set I bought was the classic MDR-V6 back in 1989. I like a natural sounding headphone that minimizes any "coloring" of the sound. Sony usually delivers on that. These WH-CH700N headphones follow in that tradition. Wired and by bluetooth it sounds good. I did try the processed EQ modes, but naturally I found them to sound artificial and turned that off. The noise-cancelling feature seems to get criticized on these phones, but really it does work on a basic level. I could stand next to my dishwasher and could not hear it running. Listening with music paused and a TV on in the background I could hear the TV sound, but that sound would then get louder when the N-C was turned off. Traffic noise outdoors, same story. I tried it while mowing the lawn. Again, mower sounded more muted when N-C was turned on. But wind blowing across the microphone made loud rustling unfortunately. So don't expect silence, but that doesn't mean N-C isn't working either. Fits my ears fine, but feels like a mildly tighter squeeze against the sides of the head compared to those old MDR-V6 phones. I like that there are no exposed wires around the cans. The NFC pairing works great with my Walkman mp3 player. Only requires a tap of the player to the left ear and it is good to go. I tried the phone app, but I have no need for it. It did a firmware upgrade of the headphones as part of the setup (and I personally never thought I would have headphones that required updating software 30 years ago) and that took about 15 minutes to complete. So this is not the top-level Sony headphones, but they are fine for the money. I have no complaints for the acoustics. Bluetooth feature works very well, including the play/pause and track skip button. The connecting audio cable is a bit..cheap. Can only really be used with a portable player being 4 feet long, but you have the option of attaching another one of your own. And I still have the MDR-V6 with the long coiled cable and 1/4" phone connector for going old-skool.

Actually, I started off simply asking if there was a way to use the bluetooth headphones with a non-bluetooth device, hoping someone knew of some kind of adapter made for that purpose. I followed up with a quick explanation of why I needed it, and expressing regret that it seemed as if RF headphones were no longer being offered. There was no rant or anything close to it. There was no anger at all. Only an observation that the newest thing is not always the only thing that is needed by everyone. It's entirely likely that other people seeing this offering wanted to ask the same question. Maybe they didn't because they were afraid of being pounced on and ridiculed for not thinking the way they are supposed to. I usually wait to answer someone's question till I have something useful to offer, and not just mean spirited criticism of they way they express themselves.

Ahh, it must be your way to request help by phrasing it as a big complaint in general. All I could discerne there was some anger about bluetooth being used in a product. If somebody phrased the inquiry as "my Sansa player has no bluetooth. Is there a wireless headphone out there that could work instead?" Your way just comes off as another old guy ranting over techno-change. And I'm an old guy myself.

Wifi IS RF. It's all radio frequencies and our heads are all being bombarded by it constantly from every direction. The difference is that Wifi is RF with compressed and interleaved data so multiple connections can use the same frequencies without interfering with each other in space or time. But that convenience requires an operating system to make it happen, and is not suitable for simple devices, or older devices that still work great (maybe better than newer ones) and will do so for decades to come. While you were calling my inquiry a rant instead of trying to help me find with I need, I was able to locate several sources for simple RF headphones that are still being made for people who don't like the compression related degradation in sound quality that Wifi headphones seem to be widely famous for, and that work with non-OS dependant devices. But thanks for your help.
