BEWARE of this UNIT.. I have watched them relist this auction 3 times now with no offers. I have found out by asking direct questions ( NOTE they do not post my questions or their response) that the headphone unit has been gone into not professionally and repaired at some point in the past. Currently it is not functioning correctly. Outside of the standard headphone drivers like any other "Can" what makes this unique is a vibrating low frequency driver added to headphone with a separate plug. The special amplifier has five channels one for woofer in seat back, L and R main Headphone drivers and L and R low frequency drivers in Headphone. They are selling a MDR-V6 good cans for money and avail. new still( Note only approx. first year of MDR-V6 were mfg. in JAPAN all production after moved to China and quality of sound and build noticeably less than Japan made ones, do not know if ones being sold are Japan or China made, I have pair of orig. Japan mfg. V6's with Beyerdynamics velor pads really like them) with this but I fear that if amplifier has been used much with only std. headphone plugged in damage over long term may occur to amp section that is not connected. They are very rare but parts are generally not available also the ear pads are badly damaged on this pair.
I have a NIB unit and understand the system much better than most. IMO price is too high 1/3 of the main components that make this system so special are not working. Also note if you do use a DD100 with this you must NOT turn on the DSL circuit when using the BBS-10 body system ( per instructions from Sony ). Just know what your getting into if you purchase. Do a search under BBS-10 I have a extensive topic on this.
