The sound just stops dead

I have owned the headphones for about three weeks. Everytime I use them they just turn off after about 10 minutes. I blame the rechargeable battery that they came with, except that when I use AAA batteries, the same thing happens. Can anyone explain this happening? Help!

    The base unit turns off after about 10 minutes what to do?

  • zorba483 Oct 24, 2008

    This is a very annoying problem with this unit.
    I have to pull the power plug out of the base unit and re-insert it and it comes back on again.

    I think you have hit the nail on the head. Implemented your suggestion and I have not have had the problem since.

    Fortunately, my Sharp HDTV allows me to turn off the internal speakers and use the volume control to up the output volume to the headphones. I have also split the output so that it goes to both my Sony unit and an external amplifier and speakers.

    Thank you for the solution. This issue has been driving me crazy since last May thinking it was a Sony unit problem.

    I have the exact same problem. The green light goes out on the transmitter and the sound shuts off. I have to unplug the power from the transmitter and plug it back in. I took it back to the store and exchanged it for a new set and had the same problem with the new set. I will try the volume solution and post results.

I have the exact same problem. Try to crank up the volume from your stereo/receiver and lower the volume in the headphones. I think that the headphones goes into standby mode if the volume is to low. Works for me (for two days, so its not really a fact yet ;-) )

    Have checked, the solution works fine. So you have to have a decent amount of volume into the headphones. If it gets to loud, lower the volume on the headphones, not the receiver, otherwise the phones drops dead because they autoshutdown.



    I have had no problems since!

Insignia Wireless headphones Model NS-WHP314 own for 1 1/2 years.Left earphone no longer transmits sound. Connected to a Samsung TV. When I tap on earphone, it will transmit for only a minute & stop.

Take it to a professional to get it looked at.It could be a lose wire on the battery but even the smallest mistake and you will destroy it completely

There is a screeching sound coming from acer aspire 4738Z we can hear our own voice when the headphones are put on and when we take the headphones off the sound starts coming again sometimes it stops on...

LOL you hear feedback noise, it's feedback! Go into the sound settings and in the mixer for audio output, mute MIC. (the built-in microphone for webcam conferencing, evidently.) Don't worry that it will keep you from using the mic (pron. 'mike') in the input mixer, because that's a whole other section of the 'board'.

It could of course also be some other app doing the ill-filtered mixing, but see the mixer settings first.

01 FORD EXPEDITION WON'T STAY RUNNING IS THE A SENSOR PROBLEM

sounds like your fuel filter is clogged. try changing that and see if it will stay running. It is a $10 part and 10 minutes time to replace. go to a parts store and have them test your battery. Your alternator could be bad also, but I would check the battery first.

My phonic firefly 808, stops working after 10 minutes

you either have a bad thermistor or somthing is qverheating in the power supply or output stage, If you are not an experienced tech than a trip to the repair shop is needed, as this is usually a symtpom of a larger problem.
