How do these work with cancelling out loud TV news?

Did not block out much. I expected much better results but could still I'll hear

Not as well as I thought. Heard everything around me.Hurt my ears and sent them back

Not well at all. Unless you are listening to music or something else; then they will eliminate the loud TV News. But just by themselves switched on, they provide just enough white noise to muffle low level sound like in airplanes etc.

noise cancelling is not = to mute. You still hear but the external sound is greatly reduced & is MUCH lower.

Yes this works much better then hearing aids, there is no background noise. Both my mother and my husband have one and they can actually follow debates on tv.

Patricia, Noise cancellation works its magic by sampling an overall background noise level by using built in microphones in each earpiece then uses circuitry to electronically invert the signal to the exact opposite of what it hears, thus cancelling out the noise. Unfortunately abrupt short term loud noises aren't effectively cancelled out. Background fan noises, crowd noise, etc get cancelled out very well. Snoring, since it is an abrupt and short term noise, is less likely to be cancelled out.

No, they are not active cancelling, like Bose. But I looked at it when was on sale hoping that it might have that feature.

try this with your TV.......http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00713RSE0/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1 That's what I use with bluetooth headphones so I don't disturb my neighbors in my apartment.

I don't think so. I've used this for quite sometime and like it for a no nonsense answering machine but I don't think you have that option. However, you can "trick" it by filling the memory and then it won't record anything else but will still answer; in that case it will act like announce only.

Yes you just turn down the input volume from the channel you're trying to mute

The Noise cancellation function works without music playing. However, in normal office type situations, or in crowded rooms with a fair amount of noise, you will still be able to hear people talking. That is because, at least in my understanding, the noise cancellation works by blocking out the low frequency sounds, but the higher frequencies will still be partially audible. (Side note: the mute button will mute the music as well as turn off the noise cancelling function so that you can hear your surroundings better)

NO, I don't believe you'll find a feature like that on any set of headphones. I need to amend my eval on these phones, since I finally returned them. The big issues were - the 'digital lag' (voice/picture out of sync) which makes them not great for TV listening; and, I finally got tired of putting the ear pads back on, which kept coming off unexpectedly. Too bad. They sound so great. Digital phones, including Bluetooth, just don't work for TV; too much lip-sync problems due to digital delay.

Yes, that is exactly what this is for. There are two push-toggle buttons. One switches between two audio outputs and another enables/disables a connected microphone.

These headphones don't eliminate background noise unless you really increase the volume. I like them because I hear the TV voice very well and at the same time if my wife needs me, she doen't need to yell. GOOD GRIEF! The TV background noise doesn't eliminate what you hear from people talking unless you are running in surround sound. Paul in Tulsa

Do you mean can you hear announcements? I'm not sure I know what you mean. They work like any headphones - if they are up loud (though these don't go super loud so your kid doesn't blow out an ear drum) they won't hear anything. My son likes to wear them at home and I need to yell at him if I want him to hear me while he has them on and is concentrating on what he's watching.

Yes, it works with the tv sound. You can turn the tv sound up and down and the TV Ears sound up and down seperately. It does help clear up some of the speech on tv programs.

Each speaker unit has a built-in mic so the technology can filter any noise that's not from your voice.. Almost freaky how well it works!

You bet. The noise cancelling feature works all by itself, without plugging it into anything. It certainly does not drown everything out but it makes a difference!

I don' believe is voice announce, however it does show on TV. There are many features to these system, so it is possible I have not founded yet.

Yes, just turn the tv volume down to nothing and the headphones do all the work. I now have two of these which we use simaltaneously in case one goes to sleep early. You can also understand the words.
