Sony DR-BT50 Headphones

Hey there, I just bought a pair of Sony DR-BT50 headphones. When I try to pair them with my Mac (running 10.4) they do not come up. Has anyone else run into this problem? Is there a patch I could use instead of upgrading to Leopard?
Thanks!

figured this out on my own. I didn't have the headphones set for pairing.

Blue Tooth paired but SONY DR-BT50 HEADPHONES not connecting for audio out of iTunes

Blue Tooth paired but SONY DR-BT50 HEADPHONES not connecting for audio out of iMac
Running Lion on intel based 27" Jan 2012 machine
The Sony Bluetooth Headphones work well with iPhone 3Gs for music and phone but I cannot get audio out of the Desk Top Machine eventhough the headphones are paired - they do not seem to connect. I have selected them as audio out phones in Blue Tooth options but nada. Any thoughts?
Thanks, iMac1ejf

Do they show up in your SOUND preferences?...

After working fine for several months, my iPhone 5 has started dropping bluetooth connectivity for 2 to 5 seconds at a time with my Sony MDR-1RBT headphones. The headphones work fine with other devices. I haven't moved to ios7 yet. Any ideas?

What user troubleshooting have you done on the phone? The steps are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. Understand that a restore will put the latest iOS on your device. It is also possible there is a hardware fault on the device and the Bluetooth is failing. Anything is possible given the scenario you describe.
And as far as iOS 7.x is concerned, we have 5 different iPhones here at home, all with the latest iOS, a 4, 4s, 5c, and 2-5s and all are working just fine. So, a blanket statement such as the one provided by the other poster is not completely true. Others are not having any issues at all either.

How to hook up a Sony RF Wireless Headphone

I want to hook up my Sony RF Wireless Headphones to my television system. All inputs to the TV - including Direct TV and various DVD players - are HDMI through a Yamaha Tuner. The HDMI inputs are digital and there is no analog audio output availabe on the tuner or TV to interface with the headphones. Do you have any suggestions on how I can hook up the RF wireless headphonees to my system?
Solved!

Thank you for your post and welcome to the forums.
The Sony Wireless RF headphones should have a base where the headphones attach and charge. The same base should have RCA inputs(RED/WHITE) where the RCA from the TV AUDIO OUT should be placed. The TV must have AUDIO OUT for the headphones to operate correctly. If you need further assistance please contact Sony Support for any further assistance.

Sony MDR 1R Headphones compatability with Lumia 92...

Hi
Would you have used the Sony MDR 1R Headphones "wired type" with Lumia 920, using Sony supplied iPhone cable. If the phones work with headphone connection on the 920. Cheers
Mobiles sure aint what they used to be. They get better

I would not know why not, but I have neither the 920 (use a 620) nor the MDR 1R headset (use SOny earbuds or a set of MDR V700 cans which sound just fine to me

Instantaneous hearing loss using a pair of Sony MDR-7506 headphones

Hello Sony, I am posting here to inform you of a life changing event which occurred June 5th while I was producing music with my Sony MDR-7506 headphones on my mid 2012 MacBook Pro. Long story short, after years of listening to music at low volume levels and being proactive about the maximum output of my devices, I was accidently exposed to three very short blasts of 115 dB SPL noise (less than a second of time total) from my headphones which has given me permanent low frequency hearing loss in my left ear, persistent tinnitus and hyperacusis. I'd like to mention that the documentation which came with the headphones states only the following precaution related to hearing loss: "Avoid listening with your headphones at so loud a volume that extended play might affect your hearing”. The documentation says nothing regarding the possibility of instantaneous hearing loss, and I believe this is something that should be mentioned in an effort to keep users informed. I was not using any speciallized hardware amplifier, only these headphones and an Apple laptop. I personally experienced about 115dB SPL (both calculated and measured), which caused my hearing loss, but these headphones can go up to 136 dB SPL (caclualted). Normally the headphones will have a maximum dB SPL (calculated) close to around 120 dB SPL (macbook pro for example), and this is generally considered loud, but not permenantly damaging. The fact I have had this serious damage done at only 115 dB SPL is an indication that not all ears are made the same, and as such, users should be warned of the possibilities. In a recent interview with Jeffery Holt, an associate professor of otology at Harvard University, he is quoted saying, “The more we learn about it, the more we realize that the safe levels are actually lower than we thought previously”. Personally, I believe it's time to incorperate a standard by which both amplifier and receiver will communicate to help better regulate the damge that can be done. Such a technology would ensure the saftey of the users and eliminate accidents such as these while remaining relatively simple. Such devices exist for specialized hardware, but there is the intrinsic difficulty in matching the impedences of the receiver and the amplifier. A small RFID chip in the headphone cable could easily relay this information to the amplifier, which would then adjust the power output to ensure hearing loss does not occur. Although such a technology would be wonderful, it is likely not very profitable, as most consumers don't really care to think about their hearing and may even prefer to keep the volume at unsafe levels. So, I am currently only hoping to speak with someone at Sony about these issues, specifically about the possibility of having this warning added to the packaging of the headphones. Thank You

Hi veita, thank you for bringing your concern to Sony's attention. We apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused you. Kindly PM me your day time phone number and your most convenient time for a call back. Thanks. - Charlie

Sony's fake headphone exchange repair program

Why is sony running a fake headphone repair exchange program out of texas. They state defective headphones can be sent in for repair or exchange, for a fee. But when you send in the head phones there is a two month wait, only to be told there are no repairs, no exchanges, no returned headphones, and no refund. I'm out the shipping, the fee, no returned headphones, and no answer. I believe sony is scamming customers refusing service, refusing exchange, refusing refund, and refusing to return headphones, this is criminal behavior.
Must we start a twitter, Facebook, google plus public campaign to get sony to stop screwing customers.
Someone needs to start investigating Sony's exchange program.
I am contacting the califonia department of consumer affairs, and post office, to submit mail fraud changes, as they Using post office to facilitate theft of customer property.
#Sony ******
they have horrendous customer service.

I am very surprised that I don't have most of these problems after the update. Everything is fine, except the touchscreen, and perhaps small issues that I haven't encountered yet. If you usually use 100-200 apps - this is normal. It's too much 3rd party software. Even a good PC will start behaving strangely when you install hundreds of pieces of 3rd party SW.
What I noticed with this phone is that it was extremely buggy since day one. Many of these bugs I managed to fix with doing several factory resets and using the SUS software to repair the software condition. I presume some of these bugs are due to bad installations, lost packets when downloading the update, and general interference with all that 3rd party software. The brand's bloatware, google's bloatware, and the generic stuff you need and get with every android. It's a complete mess.
However, some of these problems keep happening, no matter what. These are:
- The HORRIBLE touchscreen issue. Seriously, the biggest and most important dealbreaker for me.
- The really underperforming Wi-Fi signal reception skills of this phone. Where literally all of my collegues manage to get reception, I can't. Really pathetic for a flagship model.
- The bad quality and clipping of the sound coming out of the speaker.
- The bad quality of the screen itself. It does badly in sunlight, and has a completely visible matrix when opposed to direct light. I can even see this under the lamp in my toilet. It's ugly and frankly, not premium at all. Not many users see this, but compare it to the Samsung displays of samsung and apple and you will know it for sure.
What do these issues have in common? They are all hardware.

Sony MDR-1RBT headphones have crackling or pops in audio when using bluetooth on my iMac - Mountain Lion

I notice crackling noise or pops when I listen to music using my Sony MDR-1RBT bluetooth headphones with my 3.4GHz Intel Core i7 iMac running OSX 10.8.5
I do not hear the crackling when I listen to the headphones using my MacBook Pro 2.7GHz Intel Core i7 with OSX 10.8.5
I also do not hear the crackling when using wired connection to the headphones.
So it would seem that something with the Bluetooth on the iMac is the problem. But I have no idea how to troubleshoot this further.
Does anyone have any ideas what the cause may be?
I am pretty sure that it is not interference from another device because I can connect to my MacBook Pro in the same area as my iMac with no crackling

Hi Michael Erb1,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. It may also be worth resetting the NVRAM of your iMac to see if that helps with the crackling:

Sony Piqq qlasp headphones. Warranty

It's quite obvious to me now why Sony only warranties their headphones for 90 days. After about 8 months of occasional use. Weekly at most. the right ear just stopped working for no apparent reason. Will never buy a Sony product again. Consider my purchase a donation to your company for I have received nothing worth while in return. I will also be encouraging everyone who asks me (A computer science major) what type of electronics to buy to steer clear of Sony. Thanks for nothing Sony. May this be a warning to future customers.

Good morning. I'm Sarah Kepler with Sony Support (USA). I'm very sorry to hear about your PIIQ headphones. We certainly want you to enjoy your purchase. I would like to review your case. If you don't mind, please email my dept at [email protected] along with your model # and contact name & info. Then in the subject line, please put: SEL Forum username: USER-988144.
I look forward to hearing from you

Sony HBH-IS800 Headphones Loses Connection...

Just got a pair of Sony HBH-IS800s and while they pair just fine with my MBP but lose connection after pausing music. I can play a song fine immediately after pairing but if I stop or pause music and it sits for a minute it will lose connection. I tried going into sounds settings and setting the headphones as the "output" but it just defaults back to "built in" eventually. These headphones work great with my iPhone 4 so it's got to be something with the headphones and the MBP. Specs are 2.8ghz Intel Core 2 Duo 4gb running in 10.6.4.

Hi,
I'm using IS800 with iphone 4 ios 5.0.1. It's a nice compact stereo headset. Only downside is you can't control volume from the headset, but you can control volume from the phone. And the sound is not too loud. It works very fine with my iphone... no voice break up.... no sound break up... other party can clearly listen to me also...
