The Sony WH-RF400 is a wireless over-ear headphone system for TV listening, using an RF base station that charges the headphones and transmits audio up to 150 feet. It has 40mm drivers, a closed design, and a built-in battery rated for about 20 hours per charge. It suits people who want private TV audio without Bluetooth pairing or lip-sync issues. Compared with Bluetooth headphones, it avoids pairing and latency but ties you to the base station and offers no active noise cancellation.
