Ummmm, you Don't set up the aereal! Its like you don't set up your mobile
phone aereal its just there and you need it, thats all. Can you give me a
link to the Soni ones? I am mystified and interested in reading about these
because if you don't Have a base unit then you Must plug your CD player
(what have you) into the headphones directly so they won't be cordless in
that case! lol

Yes, these sound great actually. I can always get help to set up the
arial, but after that I guess I'm all to go. I saw one, however, from
Sony, that doesn't need a base unit; it comes built in to the
headphones. Thanks for the description.
