I have trouble hearing the tv and turn it up but my husband says its to loud for him, If I wear this headset, can he still hear the tv?

Yes! Have your husband turn the tv volume to his desired volume level. Then you can use the headset and adjust the volume on the headset to any level you desire. What a way to save a marriage. good luck.

Yes! The head set has a volume control of it's own so you can turn the headset volume where you want it, BUT in my case I am deaf in my left ear and wear a hearing aid in my right ear except when wearing a headset but in using this headset I had to crank up the TV volume to 100% so it would come thru the headset and I could just barely hear the TV and it was raspy. I had my son try on the headset and he said it worked fine for him so I guess it was my ear causing the problem, and I returned the headset for credit. I have a Visio TV so I purchased a Visio Sound Bar and it works fine but probably set at a louder volume than normal but with clear undistorted sound much better than the TV speakers produce. Yes!

I have been using head sets for 15 years. These are the best I have used in this price range. When I am watching TV by myself I turn the sound off on the TV and set the volume on my headset. I do not disturb any one. When I watch TV with my husband or someone else I adjust the volume to my liking on the headset and they turn the volume on the TV to where they want it. The only problem I have is while I am using the headset I can not hear anything else outside the TV. ( no phone, doorbell or anyone talking.) Dolores

When I am using the headset, those around me did not hear what I was able to hear. I was, however, able to hear others around me. How clearly I heard those around me depended on how high I had the volume on the headset. Hope this helps.

Only if you want to. I watch TV with the volume on the TV turned all the way down. At any point, with the TV remote, you can raise or lower the TV's volume. The headphones have their own volume controls. That's one of the things that makes them so awesome! :))

if your hearing impaired id keep looking even on the loudest setting I have difficulty hearing it ring if the washer is going and I have to mute the TV to talk .... but then im sensitive to any back ground noise ...

Absolutely! My husband is a little hard of hearing (but he won't admit it) and he can hear perfectly fine no matter who he talks to. You can up the volume a lot, but I haven't had to. This is the best phone on the market.

Glad to help.I purchased this for my wife. She doesn't like having to wear ear plugs. We just use the speakers and it satisfies her needs. I thought it would be annoying for me to hear the combination of the TV and the wireless speakers, but it also helps me to understand the dialog.

You can hear the TV ok but it's sort of like having a 16 inch fan blowing next to you. So you would have to turn the TV up a little. My advice is to run it when you're not there and turn it off when you are there. We love this unit.

there is a volume control on one of the side speakers that is by your head. it will control the sound on the speakers only, not on the tv. So, if you have the tv on for normal hearing, but have someone sitting with the speakers, it will control it so it's louder through the speakers but the tv volume will stay the same.

Sorry, can't help in that regard, I only use it in a home setting. But I will comment that I'm in the process of getting a second replacement under warranty and have little confidence in the product. My Plantonics headset is over 10 years old and still functions, but isn't quite as accurate.

well I got mine for kids, so I am happy with the lower volume but I give them headphones and they are happy with it, I use it to interact with my tv and play things on there so volume is not an issue there either. Sorry this really is of no help if your volume is too low for you.

Its possible...depends on the TV. I have to set my TV to "external speaker" when I use the headset. When I do that, the internal speakers (normal TV speakers) are out of service and sound goes through my headset.

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?

My husband also has a hear deficiency. He can hear the TV a lot better. It is very clear for him. He really enjoys it.

During normal non-gaming use, I barely know it is on. When I play a simple online game (Runescape) it really revs up and gets quite loud for me. Sometimes I would rather not play then to have the noise. But then again, I've been told my ears are quite sensitive.

Hi i just bought this tv and loved it until I turned down the volume and had the same problem. I am returning it unfortunately but for the price it is a steal :-)

You can hear game sound through this headset, but the sound depends on your tv volume I believe. Like if your tv is muted, there is no sound.

It is not very loud. I do not think it would interfere with you hearing the tv.
