Can I wear these headphones to hear the TV at my needed volume while the rest of my family can hear the volume from the TV speakers?

Yes you can. If you have the TV with the sound on at a level your family can tolerate, you can also have your headset set at your own personal volume.

Yes, you can even mute the tv and adjust the volume on your headset. Be sure to hit the reset button, then the scan button to find the tv signal

Regarding Sentry Wireless Headphones, I was never able to operate them successfully. Too much random static and random shifting from TV listening to a local FM station. After several weeks of experimentation and frustration, I gave up on them. I went back to Amazon and purchased a similar product called "myZones". The setup and operation were the same with the exception that these Wireless Headphones functioned properly, without static and without interference from local FM stations. Now for your question. The transmitter connects to my TV set through the RCA Audio Out connectors. In this situation, I am able to control both the TV volume and Headphone volume independently. However, I recently tried to set myZones up on my neighbors TV. Rather than RCA Audio Out connectors, they had a 3.5 jack labeled Head Phone. When I connected the transmitter using the appropriate adaptor, the normal TV sound shut off and I receive only sound transmitted wirelessly to the headphones. . Though I have not taken the time to research the situation, it appears the answer to your question may depend on the nature of the connector on your TV set. The Audio jack on the newer TV sets may anticipating the use of an external sound system to replace the TV's sound system. In this case a splitter may allow both the external sound system and the wireless headphones to be attached to the same jack.

It depends how your TV is set up. If it has an RCA audio output jack. If this is the case, then you can listen to the TV on headphones.

Yes, you can either mute the tv or turn the volume all the way down (that way you dont see the mute symbol) and control the volume on the head phones.

If your TV has a headphone jack, you can. If it is a very old TV, you may need an adapter. The headphones should fit the headphone jack in the TV without a problem.

Yes, you can listen to the TV while also listening to it on the headphones.

Yes, You can both listen to the same program and have different volumes, the headphones have a separate volume control on them, if your wife doesn,t want to listen to the show, you can turn the TV volume down and still use your volume control on your headphones

I do know that if the tv is loud, I can put these earbuds on and not hear the tv. I guess it depends on how loud the machinery is next door. Give them a try as you can always return them if they don't work.

If you have an audio out jack usually on the rear of any newer tv's the sound on the headphones and on the tv are independent. That means you can separately control the tv volume and the headphone volume so you can sit and listen to the tv at normal levels while the headphones can be cranked up as needed.If you use the tv's regular headphone jack you cannot independently control the volume. I have these hooked up as stated above for my 92 yr old mom and they work fine even if you mute the tv.

Actually, just buying a decent pair of headphones would be a better solution. TV ears are meant for helping the hard-of-hearing when others are also watching the TV. Just plug in headphones, and this should turn the speakers off, and you'll get a much better quality of sound out of the headphones than the TV ears. Also, headphones are much cheaper than TV ears.

You definitely can if your TV has a 3.5mm headphone outlet, though the cable on the Portapro will be pretty short. You can easily buy an extension cable for pretty cheap right here on Amazon though. If you are using these for TV there are better options out there, though they do cost a bit more. I would recommend the Sennheiser 555's. You can buy a pair used for $75.00 right here on Amazon as well. The Portapros are great if you're on a budget though. I love mine and nothing beats the no questions asked lifetime guarantee. Check the Koss website for more details.

Scotterz is right. If you want to use this headphones, you need an IR transmitter. If your TV have IR transmitting feature, you can buy it.

You should be able to plug in a pair of headphones into the TV and be able to hear fine. If plugged in all the way, there should be no "noise" coming out of the Television itself. We currently have normal speakers plugged into ours and no sound comes out of the TV speakers, only the speakers plugged in.

Can one have sound from the tv and the headphones at the same time. My husband likes more volume than I do and I am hoping this will work. If not can I wear another set of headphones that will pick up the signal?

Yes you can. Hubby listens through the headphones at a volume he is comfortable with and I use the remote to turn the volume to a level comfortable to me. He does not get 'feedback' from the volume I set and listen to with the settings on his earphones. We are both happy!!

These headsets do not cut the sound from the TV, so both can hear the sound. If you mute the TV sound however, then only the earphones pickup the sound.

I just got this email your answer is any headphones will work but you have to connect through a device that you can control the output sound level as there is no control on the tv to do that.

Yes absolutely. I believe some of that answer depends on how you have the volume from your tv routed and configured to a sound system, if at all. I believe most audio systems and tv's out there can be set up easily enough for this. Really nice articulate headphones by the way.
