I am a bit hard of hearing. How do these fare for watching TV and how long is the audio cable? Will it effect the quality if I need to add an extension cable?

These headphones are designed more for music than for watching television, but I have no doubt the sound quality would be spectacular. The audio cable isn't long enough for watching TV, but an extension shouldn't affect sound quality. Walmart sells an audio accessory pack for only seven dollars with a few useful bits and pieces, including an 18ft extension that should work perfectly.All in all, though, I would recommend looking for something designed for television if that is going to be your primary use. Sony makes very good television head sets for around the same money as these, for example. If you want music, though, these are the way to go.

I use mine to watch TV late at night when others are asleep. I have a 30 foot long extension cable that goes from the TV to the bed (concealed along the baseboard). There is absolutely no issue with the V-Modas used in this manner. I think you'll be satisfied.

I use these all the time for tv. These beat Bose headphones of similar cost. You'll need to add an extension if you need one and it wont effect the sound. Best headphones I've ever had.

I've actually used them while playing computer games while my roommate watched football on TV just a few feet away (4-5'). They do an okay job at that. I could really only hear the TV when my game was quiet. They'll probably work pretty well as long as you sit a little farther away than I did.

I am looking for the same information, after a google search it seems that these are a little short for earbuds. Which is fine with me, I use an extender to work with my phone and am a short person so I was hoping for a shorter pair. I think I will order them and if no one responds by the time they come I will let you know. I have been looking at these, they have an extender that might be useful to you:http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-CX-Ear-Headphone-Black/dp/tech-data/B000WOIG8C/ref=de_a_smtd

Yes, I have. I like them just fine for that. Don't know how they compare to a sound bar though, as I have never had one. I use mine with a 27" Samsung Monitor/HDTV in my office. Sounds great.

Hi John, These didn't work at all. Would not stay in. I have small ears, and figured cut them. Still no luck. Plus, I could still hear the T.V., and it was on a very low volume. NG for me.

if i were you i would go to the local high end audio shop and try these for a while - maybe 20 mins? if you notice any discomfort at all in that time, be aware it *will* magnify over another hour, so consider that.

These speakers would are not good for TV sound because they do not have a good bottom end. I would look for something that has a little more bass. I've coupled these speakers with a set with good bass and control the volume on each set and this gives me the sound that I want. I can also turn on only the Infinity speakers to listen to acoustic music with guiter or piano.

im not an expert but yes i think they would they sound better than my tv speakers, and right now for $25 it would be a great deal i paid $30 for mine at the time and ive had them almost 3 months and have not had a problem yet. hope this helps and if you do get them i hope i am right.

IMO they cancel noise decently. I use them at home, on my desktop pc, while the tv is on. My TV is about 5 feet away from my pc. I bought them more because they were for my son and halfway durable and has a decent range of size adjustments.

yes, actually I prefer my TV volume will be off otherwise create double sounds, and yes the headphones produce great sounds.I'm satisfied with my purchased! I hope this answer will help!

Not quite sure how to respond..... none of my rear speakers worked while watching TV...only exception was watching a couple of HD HBO stations... for some reason, it worked only with these

I stongly recommend a sound bar. The sound from the TV is quite inferior. It made a huge difference for me. I bought both TV and the sound bar here.

I have had them connected to a 19 inch TV that had terrible sound and they were fine - but I would say only for a smaller TV and in a smaller room personally - when I turned them up louder it's not so great sound.

In a very quiet setting, maybe. But not loud enough to elicit complaints, I don't think. I routinely listen on them while my wife watches TV, and she's never mentioned it. And she's the type that surely would, if it interfered with her shows!

Does your TV have a headphone jack? They are great headphones with a really long cable so I would imagine they work well but don't have any personal experience in that setting.

I haven't used the TV ears, so can't comment on those. We use our Sennheiser on a digital flat screen TV. It connects to the analog audio (headphone) output and works like a charm.

The sound quality in pretty good as far as I am concerned. I watch regular TV using the TV speakers, and use the surround sound for movies.
