Many people ask this question, "Do you have a mic for the Sony WH-CH510 wireless headphone?" The headphone has a microphone built in, but it's not a built in microphone. It's just an additional piece that sits on the outside of the headphones. It's basically there to make the headphone sound better than if it had no microphone. It does the same job as the built in microphone on other headphones.
Now the question is, does it work or is it just a gimmick? How does it work? Let's find out!
The headphones come with two earbuds. One is on the top of the headphones and the other is on the bottom. I personally don't like these headphones because one of the earbuds can fall out and get stuck in your pocket or on your purse or in your bag and it can really distract me from actually listening to the music that I'm trying to listen to. There are some other people who like the ear buds and hate the rest, but it's really just preference.
A little known feature is the battery. A lot of wireless models only have one battery, which is pretty boring. The Sony WH-CH511 wireless model has a rechargeable battery that works in conjunction with the wireless router. This makes it very convenient to have your battery ready to go whenever it's needed.
Another thing that some people might be interested in is does the wireless headphones work over a computer? They do! The signal travels directly from your computer to the headphones and the speakers. That's great because you never have to worry about signal interference from other things on your network.
If someone in your family or your roommates use their computer at home and you want to keep tabs on what they're doing, you can do this too. All you need to do is log into your account and check. It will record everything and put it onto your personal folder. You can then review it later. It works great for parents who want to keep an eye on their children when they're not home.
Do these wireless headphones produce a great sound quality? They sound just as good as the ones that cost double or triple what this one does. Sound quality is a subjective thing. Some people think that something is great and others think it's horrible. However, I can honestly say that these wireless headphones blow the ones I have out of the water. They have a sound quality that is very clear and crisp.
Is there any room in your mind for the Sony WH-CH511 wireless headphones? Only if you can afford to spend a lot. If you're looking for something to listen to while you're on the go, they're definitely the way to go. You'll love how much battery life they give you, and if you don't like the sound quality you just have to deal with it. Good luck!
Does it work with Windows Vista? These headphones are compatible with Vista. However, there are some features that don't work very well (such as turning the volume up and down). If you're coming across this issue, don't worry. Other models of wireless headphones from Sony do not work at all with Vista.
Can you use these with a Windows computer? Yes, you can. Although many other brands of wireless headphones don't work well at all with Vista... Sony did not make this feature built in. But, you can still use it with your notebook or laptop, assuming you're not going anywhere else.
Does this unit drain your battery? The answer to this question is no. In fact, the battery life on these headphones is so great, you'll likely be amazed at how long they last. This means you can easily keep playing audio while on the go. The battery on Sony WH-CH511 wireless headphones lasts a full day on a single charge.
Does this unit require an internet connection? This wireless headphones unit works with any GPRS/GSM carrier. That said, if you do frequently travel or do a lot of online shopping, you may want to invest in one of those wireless headphones that also have a wired back for when you have no internet. This will save you time when you're trying to navigate through the web with no internet.
