Sony Headphones
13 Answers
With my first headphones (Sony) - the little off/on button fell off but after that I bought a new set exactly the same.
However on the old ones I found I can move the off/on button with a tiny screwdriver.
I was going to try and use them on my Youtube on my computer - but the laugh of it while it (old) headphones are not connected to my radio - it is playing the same music as my new ones. Mystery to me - could anybody explain. thanks

It sounds like the base that is connected to your radio is transmitting to both headsets, you should be able to connect the second base station to the computer and then change the output channel of that base to another channel, then tune the old headset to that base.
If I recall correctly, you're using the type of headphones that have a base transmitter, sending out signals to those headphones, rather than Bluetooth headphones (where there's a transmitter built into the device that the audio signals are coming from). It makes a difference!
With Bluetooth headphones, the sending device and the headphones are 'paired', so that the signals are encrypted between the two devices. That means that only the person using those headphones can hear the sound from the relevant device.
With (what I believe) to be your type of headphones though, the transmitter unit (which plugs into a 3.5mm audio output socket on the device) works in the same way that a transmitter sending out signals from Radio 2 does. Just as anyone within the relevant reception area can tune into Radio 2, anyone who's got a 'radio' tuned to the right frequency can hear the output from your little base transmitter unit. Both of your pairs of headphones are, in effect, 'radios' which are pre-tuned to the frequency used by the base unit. So both of them will receive signals from it.

If you've got two base (transmitter) units, as well as two sets of headphones, simply push the band switches on one pair of devices to '1' and on the other pair to '2'.
Then 'transmitter 1' will only 'talk to' the headphones set to '1' and 'transmitter 2' will only 'talk to' the headphones set to '2'.
Then 'transmitter 1' will only 'talk to' the headphones set to '1' and 'transmitter 2' will only 'talk to' the headphones set to '2'.
