Where to buy headphones for 2005 XC90
I could not find headphones for ages for a 2005 xc90 and at last after trying several volvo dealers and quotes of £150 each, i have found soem that work!
They are Panasonic RP-WF810 headphones purchased from Amazon for £28 - just tune them in and away you go! Phew!!! http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/...A3P5ROKL5A1OLE |

Wireless headphones for XC90
Hi
How good are these panasonic headphones as the reviews on amazon are not that flattering. They will only be for the kids use so dont want to spend too much ! Is there much hissing in the earphones and was the tuning in straightforward. Can you re-charge the batteries easily? I rushed into buying the following set but couldnt seem to get them to work -its only when they arrived with a transmitter I realised I had screwed up http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-MDRRF80...X9RS7BW36RVS3A Thanks for anyones advise |

Volvo supply the Panasonic headphones RP-WF810. So they think there good enough. I just bought a set. I'll let you know how they sound. The batteries will be rechaged from the transmitter you get with the headphones so will need to be plugged into the mains. So as far as the car goes no would be the answer, as you'll have to charge the batteries out of the car or use ordinary batteries. Roy

My only compaint is that the volume and tuning dials are more protruding than the Thompsons so they could get knocked out of position more easily. They do sit on the head nicly though and feel comfortable. The headphones are exactly the same as the model I was offered at the main dealers for £52 two years ago. Why some are trying to sell them for £150 I don't know. My bigest complaint is the LCD screens, I think they could be a lot better, at least as fitted in 2003. (its the first time I;ve sat in the back and looked at a DVD) Roy

Wireless Headphones Tuning
I have just bought 2004 XC90, but it only had one set of wireless headphones for the Volvo DVD player. I bought the Panasonic RP-WF810H headphones but can't get them to tune into the DVD player frequency - could somebody please give me an "idiots guide" to tuning them in ? Do I need to use the transmitter supplied with the headphones etc ? Many thanks for any assistance.

Check the batteries are charged. Turn on the DVD player and start playing a film Check you can hear the sound with your existing Thompson headphones. Turn them on. You'll see a little red light on the side. Turn the little dial on the headphones marked tuning back and forth slowly. You may have to turn the volume dial up. I hope this works for you. It does look like you could swap out the transmitter if you want to, it is 12 volts, but it shouldn't be neccessary. Roy

Wireless Headphones not working
Many thanks - I had tried this, but to no avail - I have one set of Thomson headphones which work fine. I have put new batteries into the Panasonic headphones and connected them up to my home stereo using the Panasonic transmitter and the headphones work fine. When I try to tune them in the car, I have played a DVD and listened to it on the Thomson headphones, but the Panasonics just give non-stop interference - I have been trying to tune them very slowly, but still not working.
Any other thoughts ? Many thanks for your help...! |

I can't find anywhere that sells them other than ebay. The model I have is RP-WF810. Running search on those brings up load of places selling them. I got mine from Amazon. Have you bought a different model? Roy
