Sony TDG-BT500A 

I bought this item in December 2010 with the Bravia KDL46NX710 3D capable

select this alternate model inlieu of TDG-B100

3 nosepieces have been lost by my children. Parts suppliers are unable to sell nosepieces separately and only offer to buy glasses. This design flaw is unacceptable to an end-user. Sony should offer a part number for the individual nose piece.

Nosepiece Replacement

After a year using this product .now i just post this comment because i cant buy it on online store..So sad this product too fast disappear.

great for 3d tv

Sony bring you closer to the movie that you are watching. You will no longer just watch a movie because with these active 3D glasses you will feel like you are part of the movie.

Great 3D glasses.

I bought these a month ago and have used them 5 times. They work very well and are comfortable to wear over my own glasses I wear.

Works well

I bought these for the Sony name and because they would be compatible with my Sony 3D TV. The technology cannot be faulted as the 3D imaging is excellent and pairing with the TV is simple. However, they are very expensive when compared to other brands, and when considering the build quality. The arms are very flimsy and twist with barely any pressure so are at risk of snapping, and because they flicker if you have any light bleeding into them (making them headache-inducing) they really need some side blinkers. If you're able to watch a movie in the pitch black then you'll be fine, otherwise I'd suggest fashioning your own side guards, as I did.

Overpriced but good technology

I Brought these 3D glasses as I had changed my projector for Sony VPL VW500ES. I find the glasses easy to use and fit well over my normal glasses. The 3D picture is very good, as plenty of depth.

Bought these to compliment full 3D features on new Sony S8005C. They work really well. Shocked to discover the cost direct from Sony. Its seems very difficult to get these elsewhere

Good but overpriced

Bought 2 pairs of active 3D glasses to compliment Sony 3D TV bought a few months earlier. The glasses are lightweight and are not uncomfortable to wear and really to give an immersive 3D picture.

3D Vision

Got my 3-D(active)Sony tv and glasses almost a month ago. I must say it's been beyond my expectations. Quality is great and also very user friendly for a beginner. Highly recommend Sony thoroughout

3-D GLASSES

Bought 2 pairs of these glasses Poor design the rubber nose bridge keeps falling off and we have already lost one. Searched but there is no supplier of this spare part so if you lose the nose bridge the only way round it is to purchase another pair of glasses if you don't want to end up with the hard plastic pressing on your nose. They are expensive glasses not to have a spare part supplier. I also found the glasses to be quite dark there is a brightness setting for them in the 3D settings which had little or no effect

Poor Design & Expensive

The 3D is great much better than anything other 3D I have seen before including cinema and Imax, also they were very easy to set up, just turn them on and your away really. The problem I have is that the design isn't very good, you get too much reflection and glare from how the lens stick right out. It isn't rechargeable, which I found really disappointing for the price of these glasses, overall good 3D, bad design and you do not get your moneys worth.

Great 3D Bad Design

I bought these wondering if it was a good idea. I have to say I don't regret it they were easy to set up and because they are light they are comfortable to wear. They are great fun.

Iam happy

Work just fine, and fit over my prescription glasses just fine Only problem ... can't find instructions on how to remove the battery See the two small phillps head screws ... will go from there

Very good fit

good 3d picture, lightweight, and out of oue 3 pairs, the noise piece has fallen off one (after we took it off the first time) i do have a hard time syncing with my sony xbr75x850c. other then that problem, these are good glasse and dont cost alot.

lightweight and good 3d picture

I have an 850c and I have the toughest time pairing them, but when the connect they are great!! I followed the instructions to the "T". Maybe I have too much RF interference. The glasses are great "If and when they pair"

A+ if and when they pair

Can't fault the 3D quality from these glasses. One push sign up, one push ON, auto shut-off

Quality product

While the 3D glasses appear to be working OK, the performance of the new 70" Sony 4K television I purchased does such a poor job of producing 3D images, that I would not recommend the combination for anyone looking to have a good 3D movie experience. It is not possible for us to determine if the television or the glasses, or both are the issue with a 3D image that often places backgrounds in front of foreground images, does not convey true depth of image and has substantial image flicker. Check out Consumer Reports review of Sony TVs for confirmation of these comments.

To be fair, the television has an excellent picture, better than most I have seen. Buy it for the 2D picture - which is excellent, but wait for Sony to produce a better 3D system before trying out the 3D features.

Glasses OK - 3D Sony TV not so much

Great glasses!

I purchased several pairs of Sony's 3D Glasses as I had also bought a Sony 4K 65" T.V. The 3D is stunning as it delivers everything you would expect from a pair of 3D glasses, their light unobtrusive to your face and the view they give makes you believe your actually in the film set.

light and stylish design

The first time i used them i got a headache but it didn't make my head hurt after that..

Good quality

These glasses are great for 3d movies (as long as the lights are out, otherwise they are irritating to wear as they flicker against other light sources or light surfaces).However, I bought these glasses as they were simulview compatible and I got the impression from the website that you could play any split screen game on any console in full screen when the 2 players are wearing a pair of these glasses each. This is not the case, simulview is only available on the PS3 at the moment and there are only a short list of games compatible at that. I think the sony website needs to be clearer about this technology to avoid unhappy customers.

Great glasses, 1 major let down.

I have been very impressed with the quality of these glasses, though they are the only ones that work with my TV and are far from cheap (you get what you pay for) as there are no alternatives. I worry as they are worn by my two young daughters and I foresee an accident.

Good but expensive

Great expirience nice design i'm very pleased about it

3D GLASSES

I bought this a month ago and the kids love it. Good product

Fantastic piece of kit

The Glasses are Great, Great 3D pictures with my VPL-600ES, the problem is the nose pads, I've lost 3 out of 6 glasses Sony is not selling replacement nose pads, Too bad !!!
