I have an older set of TV ears, I am thinking of getting of getting new ones, I was looking at digital, but there seems to be a lot of bad reviews.

My husband thinks the sound quality is wonderful. No problems. Haven't tried any others but did my research and made the decision to purchase these.

I bought these as a replacement to the original model which I had for over 15 years. The reason for replacement was that one of the arms of the headset cracked off. I have enjoyed these, and think the quality is better, and I have had no problems with the working all the time. I would buy them again if given the choice. Don

Not the best unit but when you are unable to hear the TV go for it. Not sure the upgrade is worth the big price tag however

Don't waste your money on digital tv ears. The sound was faint and tinny even at maximum volume and when connected to the digital output on my tv they didn't work at all. I returned them to amazon for a refund. The older set of tv ears that I have work fine. Don't know what I'll do when they finally wear out. There doesn't seem to be anything else with similar functionality out there.

They work ok and I can for once hear all the words, but the sound quality is not all that good. Expect to hear words not beautiful stereo sounds.

To Be honest, I have had problems with the TV ears. They only work half the time. I don't know why. When they work, they are fantastic.It just seems to be intermittent. It may be a problem with the connection we have. I just don't know.

I have the digital model. I find the sound to be great, but the phones you wear have no adjustment for size and are so tight on my head they hurt. Further, the earbuds come off, leaving a pointed stake fitting into the ear which REALLY hurts. The first headset broke after a month. The second is lasting, but fragile.

Try the TV Ears web site. I believe they offer replacement/extra headsets without the need to buy the base station.

Yes, they work very well on most all TV's. Get out your tv instruction book and the headphone instructions. Find the audio plugs and try it until you get it. Some are more clearly marked than others. It's very easy because this is standardized technology among all tv mfg and models. This model of headphones are all the same; do not pay more for the one that claims "long range". It is not longer than other sources. They work great in the same room as the tv. It is easy to place the cradle to face toward you and is not at all touchy; there is some directional variance. I just discovered that they fit better and are more comfortable if you turn them backwards on your head. If the controls are to the back of your head, the fixed angle of the earpieces are just right. But they still fit on the charging station only one way=controls to front.

I have really researched this item. First bought TV ears at Costco, it stopped working immediately. Bought Sennheiser IS410 and the ear buds were so tight I returned it (after calling Sennheiser and asking them what model was more comfortable). They recommended the 830 and I just love it. The stereo sound took a little getting used to, I thought the sound was real and kept looking around for what was happening. But it is great.

The advice I have seen recommends buying a unit for your weakest ear. I suggest you call the folks at CS 10, as they have just released an updated unit.

My TV is analog and I pulled signal with no converter box. But the antenna wasn't great for my area, which could have been a geographical issue, but a cheap $10 pair of rabbit ears worked best for me.

I don't know about TV ears, however these were much cheaper and work great. Easy to setup, use, and enjoy clear TV. Each headset has its own volume control and a good reception distance of 40-50 feet approx. you must be able to see the TV for the headset to work, it's got a good width of reception you just can't be behind the set of in another room to be able to hear. I wood buy again for sure!!!

Hi Lisa, I bought the digital family wireless stereo headphone for someone else, as a gift. I hadn't even got the opportunity of seeing it, actually. But I was informed by my son (the lucky guy to whom I gave it) that the headphone works quite well and the sound is superb. Thank you for asking.

Yes and no. We have a sound system but it is not connected to the TV. The headphones are the type that allow a person to listen to the TV without the sound disturbing another person. He was using them when he got up earlier than me. It appears that the makers of headphones are producing only analog ones; the Radio Shack guy was going to show me digital headphones, but they turned out to be analog connect also. The products that I have been able to find seem to start at $60+; I wouldn't mind the price if I could be sure that the product would work with our set. Thanks for your input.

They were hooked up to my old TV which was a tube TV. They also work fine on my new one which is digital.A. Berry

I know, I don't like the foam ones either. But there is another alternative I found and been using and far more comfortable! They are the TV Ears Rubber Silicone Extra/Replacement Ear Tips. They're really good though you fork out cash more but it's worth your comfort. Hope this helps.

Yes, go to Radio Shack. They have an earphone headset which in my opinion is far superior to TV ears. It is wireless and the headset sits on top of your head just like the radio engineers wear. It has volume control, and has replaceable/rechargeable batteries. I had three sets of TV ears and they either broke or the battery would only last for an hour before I had to place them on the charger. No such problems with the Radio Shack headset.

Hi Bea, I have used Tv ears for over 5 years. I have had 2 pair break . I found them soso. I tried several different head phones, Sony RCA Sennheiser. All were not to my satisfaction. Then I bought Sennheiser 830-TV they are like TV ears but about 1000% better. They are more costly but well worth the price. Clearer sound excellent volume control Easy and softer on your ears. Being wireless makes the set up a snap.I hope this helps you. I got mine on Amazon. If you no like send them back for a full refund.

HD is better, however the signal is affected by the same things that have afected analog. The diference is that with analag disturbances you would still see a pcture but it could become grainy or have ghosting, with digital if the signal gets too much interference your digital tuner doesn't have enough data to construct the picture and either severe pixalation occurs or the picture vanishes. Even a high quality outdoor digital antenna will experience the same problems.

About al you can do is call the company..(good luck with that) sometime they will exchange them for a fee. We never had good luck with tv ears. they break very easy !

I purchased the Samsung for there good reviews but had sound problems on the HD chanels. It looks like Samsungs digital tuner isn't stable on the sound if you are using a satilite box or cable box then the sound doesn't go through the tvs digital tuner so I think this is why there are so many good reviews most people are using a box for there tuner. Samsungs customer service was terrible but Amazon took the tv back and I purchased the Sony with out any sound problems.

They are headphones, not a TV.Jokes aside, havent tried it. It depends on if your TV has a headphone jack or not.
