Sony KDL-46XBR9 TV - Any suggestions for a wireless headset?? I was wondering if; 1) This TV is compatible with wireless headphones and 2) If so, is there any particular brand I should look for that will work with this model?

I would like to find out myself as my father is hearing-impaired and wireless headphones will prevent a tripping hazard. Sonystyle.com has wireless infrared headphones with rechargeable docking base for $49.95 (and up) that had received some good reviews. Infrared means you will need a clear line of sight from TV or receiver to the headphones. I am most likely going to have to buy w/o auditioning a pair. I am keenly interested in a set that is compatible with surround sound like DTS. I also bought the Sony KDL-46XBR9 bundled with Blu-ray player and HTSS360 HTIB (home theater in a box). The receiver has no headphone jack so I will need to set up the headphones via TV.

I used these wireless headphones on two different TVs. One is a relatively modern SONY 40" LCD and the other an outdated Hitachi Projection TV. On the Sony I was able to plug the RCA cable directly into the TV. With the Hitachi I couldn't find a useful place to plug the Sennheiser so I plugged it directly into the Cable Box. This limits my ability to use the headphones on the Hitachi to programs coming directly from my cable provider. I can't use them when viewing something streamed via Roku or from the DVD player I use on that TV. That's my experience. Perhaps some Geek can provide you with a better solution. Good luck.

Pen Name- Wow! Thanks for all the research. I had determined that you couldn't use headphones with this TV because when I zoomed on the back panel, there was no headphone jack. There is on Samsungs. I didn't know about digital headphones working on the audio output socket.Now I'm really excited, because the LG is the clear choice over the Samsung- better picture, better audio (esp. if you have trouble hearing speech, like me), better reliability, closed captioning, which I don't think the Samsung has, and $100 cheaper!Keep me posted what you find out at the store.

Amazon asked me if I can answer this for you, but it looks like you're asking about the 1400 "corded" version.I purchased the Corsair Vengeance 2100 "wireless" headset (accessed by clicking the far right option for, "Wireless 7.1 v2100," among the three boxes that starts with, "Analog 2.0 V1400," option).Can you please specify which of the three headset options (there's also a middle option for, "USB Dolby 7.1 1500 v2") you're looking for?To be honest, I have no idea about anything other than the wireless option, and that one I'm not even sure can "pair" with an iPhone. It seems to only want to pair with the USB dongle antenna that comes with it.

I just read your comments and was wondering which product you were talking about. I also have a hard time finding a bluetooth or head phones that stay on my ears. I have almost completely given up on a bluetooth, but was considering trying one of the bluetooth headsets that go behind your neck or over your head? Any suggestions?

According to the website http://www.sony.lv/product/tv-117-46-lcd/kdl-46ex520/features#tab, it works on your TV:FeaturesKDL-46EX520Ready for wireless connection to the Internet - Wireless LAN-Ready so you can add a UWA-BR100 USB Wi-Fi® adaptor from Sony and connect to your Internet router without cables

Thanks, Vee. My husband looked at the pdf manual yesterday afternoon and wrote this from work: "This is their page, and on the `support` tab you can see the entire manual in pdf form. I glanced at it, it does not have a headphone socket, but it has a digital audio output socket. You can get digital audio headphones for about $25-30.?"So I think we are getting somewhere now. We are going to look at the actual television at a local store, talk with the salespeople, then probably come back to purchase from Amazon, which has the lowest price.My husband is not an electronics expert, so going to see for ourselves will be the best confirmation, yet.

I love mine. The volume is pretty good and quite clear--better than giant flatscreens with Clearvoice. There is a jack for headphones which I never use, but I sit pretty close to mine. I sit on chaise lounge & put DVD player on tabletop. The volume isn't very very loud so you may want to splurge and get the next level that is Internet ready & Bluetooth enabled so you can hook up to speakers by wireless. I don't think there's Bluetooth on this model. But I love mine!

I literally just ordered a KDL-W3000 52 inch television 1 hour ago. I did 3 months of research and although I am not sure how I'll fell when I get the television, I can say that I went for the w3000. I looked at some seocnd tier brands first, but quickly moved on to the main brands.... settling in on the Sharp D64 or a Toshiba 167 or the Sony W3000. Of course the Sony was the most expensive of the brands I was looking at. As far as picture and blur: I can not even tell you if I could see any difference between the w3000 and the XBR, so I went for the XBR. I did see one scene in a movie where I saw a slight amount of motion blur, so I am sure it exists.. the quesiton is, "how bad does the blur appear to you and what is it worth for you to minimize the blur" ? For me... the answer was in my order.. I went with the W3000. The price was $2309 no tax, no delivery fee.

I also have the same question as the first couple of posts. My husband is hearing impaired and it is hard to watch TV with him having the volume so loud. So, if we have our TV hooked up to a reciever and get him a wireless head set and hook the head set up to the TV will we both be able to watch TV and each be able to control the volume to suit each of us?

We have a Sony Sony KDL-52XBR9 that we are trying to run wireless for computer and internet connection.We want to wirelessly connect a laptop to the TV so we can use the Sony's screen as the large display.We have a Cisco Linksys-N Broadband router, model WRT-160N V3.We have tried (2) Sony usb dongles, UWA-BR100. The TV replies with, "... this wireless usb device is not compatible with this tv..."Is there a way to connect this TV wirelessly to our router? If yes, please provide details.Thanks - BAW

I'm a little confused myself. There are people who say this headset is awesome. My question is, how the hell did they get it? I thought it's been already released but not for sale from Logitech website? Are they saying when the release date is?

Has anyone played games on it?I just bit the bullet and bought the Samsung LN40A550 based on reviews. (Got ps3 for blue ray discs and I watch A LOT of movies.) I also like to play FPS and other games with a lot of movement and action. Has anyone noticed any sort of ghosting or blurring when they play games on it? Bad thing to wonder about AFTER I buy the tv, but I'm sure it'll still be worth it when I see my movies in a new-1080p-light.

Yes, I have a fairly new TV and it works fine. However, after 9 months the headset failed to charge, so I returned it (it was under warranty) and they sent me a new one right away. Good service, and good communication.

NO headphones and speakers with LG TV's, just found out the hard way. We had RS120 and you have to go to the back of the TV and unplug the headphones to be able to use the TV speakers. :( Called support and they said customers preferred this). It was an early christmas present so going back or we will have to buy 3 more headsets. ADA issue here.

Isn't that a bummer about the panasonic brand? I, too use this style when I am going to sleep because I wear ear plugs. I loved how slim the design of the panasonics is but the cord got very stiff after being exposed to air. Also, they didn't last very long. I like all the great reviews for the Sony brand but would like to know the thickness. Have you found any other brands that are slim and seem durable?
