I want headphones to watch tv in bed while my husband is snoring loudly next to me. are these what I want?

Yes. These will work great for that. They cover the entire ear so they do shut out a lot of outside noise. Although you will still hear him during quiet scenes.

Yes I think they would work well for that, Although I do find them to feel a bit big for my head.
2012120
YES!!! That's precisely why I have been using these devices for years, so as not to disturb my hiusband's sleep. This is the best and most comfortable of the several I've had.

These are good for wireless headsets and for the price. You will still hear some snoring but not nearly as loud as without them.If you want a real quiet headset you should get a much more expensive "noise canceling" head set, usually they connect with a long small audio cable and cost over $500.

Not compared to some shallower, softer ear buds. The Sony's and Panasonic's at under $10 have good fidelity and extend less further from the ear. These would not be my first choice for sleeping, even with just one of the buds resting in my open ear. The stiffness of the zipper tends to get in the way. Not that they're bad (they can't be everything)--just that there are better alternatives for situations like that.

You can but those are not the best headphones for watching TV. They were made for studio mixing. You'll get too much bass frequencies. Not the sound quality you want for that purpose (Hi-Fi).

I use these for a snoring s/o, but most of the people I see on riding lawnmowers use the headphone style ones. These would probably do just fine, but you may be better off with a non-disposable pair that also does music or some other feature. After all, these generate a lot of waste (you have both the plastic bag and the ear plug to throw away) and they will cost you more in the long run than a pair of headphone style hearing protection. But the headphones are heavier and hotter. Just something to think about.

Mixed answers here about sound on the TV. I want something lightweight to listen to the TV while hubby sleeps. Can the TV volume be off while I listen to it thru headphones???

They're great for that , if you sleep on your back. If you sleep on your side, sooner or later you will break the connecting wire and end up with expensive mono headphones. My daughter has gone through too many headphones because of the way she sleeps.

My husband hasn't really used them much for music.... He is sort of a car nut and has been watching videos and listening to them while still in the room with me (watching girly shows like Bachelor).He says they are bad a**. That is all I can tell you! I don't think you can go wrong with them though. Check Consumer Reports testing of them against some of the bigger names!

yes. Just hook up on the audio output of the tv. My wife doesn't like it loud so she turns the tv down too low for me. That's ok, I have a better sound than she does anyway with the headphones.

Diane, these will be great for tv. You will hear sounds you never heard from the tv speakers. You may also want to consider a good quality sound bar with sub woofer. I have one and it is fantastic.

My wife says that my snoring is much louder than crickets. They should work.

Only laying down vertically not horizontally ear to pillow.They certainly aren't ideal for listen to music on a bed or a couch anyway.I use them in the studio as a reference.

yes, I would highly recomend them. You will be able to sleep on your side with them on. I use them only in the daytime around loud noise, it blocks out 75% of the volume.

IMO NO not at all. I have these and I love them for watching TV and music but if you just want to block out surrounding noise, these will not work. I'm very noise sensitive :(

I am not so satisfied with the build and sound quality so I got rid of it, I bought the Bose ones, those are the best ever. For the snoring part, I don't know, but i am sure they will help a bit. Every surround noise is suppressed or way in the background, but I would like to advice you to go for in-ear noise canceling or just earplugs from the industrial world to be bought at every craft shop. Snoring means trying to sleep and the wear comfort of the on-ear or over-ear is not so good if you would like to turn on one side......

Should be OK as long as you do not use excessive volume. I use them while my wife sleeps and she has not complained.

Not being a doctor, not sure if they would help hard of hearing people or not...although, I would think some help would be there....first of all, you wouldn't be susceptible to other noises in the room....the ear phones would isolate the TV sound....you would have to try them, I would think....good luck..

Yes. However, the sound protectors are bulky enough that they might be uncomfortable during sleep. They would certainly inhibit sleeping on one's side. I suspect ear plugs or ear buds might work better because they will likely be more comfortable.
