How on earth do you get this to work? I don't understand and there wasn't any info provided. How to connect the headphones to the TV?

They come with a headphone cable, so the transmitter unit plugs into the headphone out jack of a TV. Not all TVs have headphone out jacks. As another commenter mentioned, this is the supplemental headphone set. The main set comes with a set of headphones and a transmitter that plugs into the TV. You only buy this item if you need a second set of headphones to go with the main unit.

If you bought the headphones only then you bought the wrong item. You need headphones and transmitter

Yeah I know, Cheri you look at those instructions and then you know why the Germans lost WWII. If you go to their website you can download a PDF file that has the English instructions for the RS 160 the url is http://94.100.244.130/sennheiser/products.nsf/resources/RS160_US_INT.pdf/$File/RS160_US_INT.pdfI don't see HDR 160 on the main pagehttp://en-us.sennheiser.com/service-support-services-download-areaYou must have the RS 160, the one I bought. Somehow Amazon directed your question to my email. Viel Gleuck.Ed.

There is a little puck looking thing that has a head phone jack that you conect to your tv. If your tv doesn't have headphone jack then you need adapter. They're cheap

This only outputs audio. There is no HDMI out port. To do that you would need an HDMI splitter, and run 1 to the TV and the other to the audio extractor. If you do that, then yes, you can plug headphones into this.

This has nothing to do with the headphone, but rather the TV. In my case, my TV has a LINE OUT that I use to connect to the headphone, so the TV volume control, speaker, and mute functions all work as normal. But if you plug the headphone base into the "headphone" jack of the TV, the TV's speaker is almost always muted.Bottom line--check it with any pair of wired headphones/earphones you may have laying around....

what? why would it not work? does it work when you plug other things to it? and how about this laptop of your can you hear sound from it? when you plug headphones to it? basic troubleshooting.

That looks like what I have. I plug an optical plug from my Apple TV to that device but, in my case, then run analog from that to an Smart Board. I would assume, with the right cable connection, you could make it work with headphones. I will tell you that sometimes I've failed to get sound. As I recall, it has always been when reconnecting. Each time I unplugged and replugged in each connecting element and it would work.

Normally the transmitter connects with a TV using the supplied 3.5mm-to-RCA cable to the red & whhite AUDIO OUT jacks on back of TV. However, if your TV doesn't have an AUDIO OUT, then you can use the other supplied 3.5mm audio cable to connect to the TV's headphone jack. If your TV has neither, then this speaker system isn't for you.

I cannot seem to get the adapter to work at all. There are no directions included with the product. Am I doing something wrong? I have just been plugging it in to my computer, MP3 player, etc, turning it on, turning on my headset, and hoping for the best. Nothing. I have tried all that in different orders too. Any suggestions? Anne

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.

You will need to have some kind of an audio out. Our TV only has a headphone jack. I hooked that up as my audio out. It works great! If you have one of those, you are in business. This is a great product. I hope you get it working.

This worked for me also. I accidentally missed step 3, but it found the headset anyway. I had trouble getting it to connect (right click on headset in bluetooth device menu -> Control then pushing the connect button), but after a couple off/on cycles of the headset and hitting the connect button after turning on, it finally connected and now I have music playing. Thanks to OP for solution.

Look for a digital cord in the box and see if you have a digital sound output hole. Ie look on the bottom of your tv for something that says "digital audio out" to connect the digital audio cord from the base to the tv. If you don't have that, look in same area for something that says "audio right" and "audio left" or it might say "audio R" and "audio L" then plug in your yellow and white cord to the connectors and other end of cord goes to your tv ears base. No wires are connected from the tv ears to the base as they are wireless. Hope this helps you out. Look for a digital cord in the box and see if you have a digital sound output hole.

if you are on cable or satellite, be sure the headphone transmitter is hooked up to the cable box or satellite receiver and not into your TV. Hopefully this will help.

The television does not have a headphone jack. You would need to purchase wireless tv headphones.

Hi Janell, hope this helps. Plug the transmitter unit into the AUDIO OUT plug and then turn the knob on the headphones to select TV. The headphones also get FM radio with the selection dial on the headphone. Good Luck

The headphone jack if your TV has one. Otherwise you may need and rca (red & white) cable and a female rca to 3.5mm adapter. They are cheap online.

If your tv has an audio plug just like that of a cell phone or mp3 player. Just look on the back of your tv.It looks like the hole you put your headphone plug in. Hope this helps
