I am buying this set for my father-in-law. Would I still be able to hear the TV if he is using the headphones and I am watching with him?

If you are watching tv with the earphones plugged in, you will need an audio splitter that sends the sound both to your earphones and out loud from the TV.

Yes. If your tv has audio in and out in the back of the set, connect it to out. If not you will need to buy a Digital optical audio cable, and a Optical/Coaxial Digital Audio - to - Analog Converter. Don't let this scare you, lol It just means you go to Best Buy or even look for it on Amazon. I am not really tech savy, and I hooked it up in a few minutes. Good luck with your headphones, Mine never did work. Went to Walmart and bought a pair. Very happy now..

Yes. I have a sound bar so my TV speakers are off anyway. I ended up plugging the headphones into the Optical jack on my DirecTV receiver but I had it plugged into my TV first.

I have mine hooked up to my TV via the rca cables and on my Sony TV it allows my audio to have multiple audio outputs at once and I can hear anything that will play throught the TV speakers in this set of Headphones. I LOVE them!!! So your answer is YES.

On my TV once I plug in the headphones the TV speakers turn off automatically only allowing me to hear through headphones. Have to unplug headphones to get TV speakers to work again.

I am not sure what you are referring to. When the headphones are plugged into the jack on our receiver we can't hear the TV at all without the headphones on. Since my husband and I both wear a headphone we haven't noticed any leakages. If one of us removes his/her headset to talk the other hears what is said.

Sure, as long as your TV has the output for Toslink or Coaxial and your headphones use the 3.5mm audio jack or RCA. The only problem I can see you having is that on my TV you cannot control the volume via the TV so your headphone should have some sort of volume control.

Yes. I purchased the headphones for my father's Christmas gift. My mother is now able to listen at "normal" volume.

It probably depends on the TV. I use mine with my DirecTV and the volume is not cut off. I need to turn down the TV volune to stop hearing it. You can tell just by plugging in standard head phones or earbuds. These headphones will work the same.

They are headphones, not a TV.Jokes aside, havent tried it. It depends on if your TV has a headphone jack or not.

Some headphones have a volume adjustment on them otherwise if you have the device connected properly you should be able to turn the volume up on the tv you are connected to. You also might have to turn off the internal tv speaker setting on your tv when using this with newer tvs

This is dependent on the television and not the headphones. Also the length of the headphone line is only about 4 ft. This would mean you would be at most 4 feet from the screen of the television, and is not recommended.

As long as your Tv has an audio output terminal you can use these headphones. Or the audio output from your cable box if you have one of those. The headphones will receive the signal from the transmitter.

They might help. You would still have to plug the headphones into the tv. The cord might not reach. Also, once you plug into the audio jack, no one else will be able to hear anything. If you have a newer model tv, I have to believe there are other products that would work.

There is a volume control on the headset turn that up. You are not suppose to hear the tv when you have them on.

Actually, just buying a decent pair of headphones would be a better solution. TV ears are meant for helping the hard-of-hearing when others are also watching the TV. Just plug in headphones, and this should turn the speakers off, and you'll get a much better quality of sound out of the headphones than the TV ears. Also, headphones are much cheaper than TV ears.

Others can hear at whatever volume the TV is set for. Conversely you can mute the TV and listen to it through the headphones and not disturb anyone else.
