Is there an amplifier in this headphone? I need to use these with my TV simultaneously and I don't want to have to raise the TV volme extra loud.

I dont know if this is what u r looking 4 but there is a in-line volume control that allows me to turn the volume up without raising the volume on my tv.

No amplifier. These are about as efficient as other 106dB/mW headphones in our collection, and work admirably with an inexpensive Behringer headphone amp from the TV audio line out.

There is an in-line volume adjustment built in and the volume is at a good level for me when I use them with my TV.

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

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.

When I ordered mine you had a choice between the amp or an equalizer. Neither is necessary for the headphones, they work awesome without the extra gadgets. They are a free gift with purchase. You may get to choose at checkout.

I'm also going to buy a pair for gaming but I will use a headphone amp to drive them. I'm going with a valve amp, (Little Dot mark II, or Bravo Audio V3 that has an equalizer) but any sort of headphone/portable amp should do the trick. A lot of people mention that these headphones only "come to live" with an headphone amp.

Yes, you can still have the TV volume separate, if you use the audio out connections on the back to connect the headphones. Great for use when someone has need for higher volume then rest of viewers.

No, there is no (headphone) output on the amplifier. your headphone output needs to be on the sound car you connect it on, the studio reference monitor suppose to only receive sound not send. i hope this helped.

No, because there would be no amplifier. It's like trying to plug a music player into a PA speaker, there would be nothing to amplify the sound.

I have not used an amplifier for these speaker. I use them attached to my computer and am extremely satisfied with their sound. Their is a built in amp on one of the speakers.

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.

Hi,Try turning up the tv volume (if you can control the tv's speakers to shut them off) and lowering the volume setting on the headphones.I've found that this approach decreases background noise.Michael

I'm not aware of any solutions apart from utilizing the headphone out on your audio receiver. With a TV this nice you've got a sound system, right? ;-)

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.

Probably no more volume than your TV already. This would be similar to LCD TV or good laptop speakers.

The Headphone has a 3.5 millimeter plug and an adapter that will allow it to plug into a 1/4" jack. Most TVs have 2 RCA plugs (Red for the Right channel and White for the Left channel) for the audio outputs. You can get an adapter cord that has 2 male RCA Plugs at one end and a 3.5 Stereo female plug on the other end, which would allow you to use the headphones with a TV. You might also want to get a 6' to a 10' extension cord with a 3.5mm stereo male plug on one end and a 3.5 female Jack on the other end, which afford you a bit of freedom to move around with out putting excessive tension on the headphone cord. The extension cords come in lengths from 3' or less and go up to 25' and possibly longer. I always use an extension cord and recommend them.

Yes. There is a built-in headphone amp but if you want more volume you should ask someone who knows a lot about headphones for some recommendations. You might call a "high-end" audio store or call Bose. They make some specialized headphones so maybe they would know which are the key variables for your situation. Also, I wonder if listening at high volume through headphones might make your hearing even worse. You might ask your doctor. If you don't have close neighbors you might try a regular stereo.

Nope it's 30-something ohm so any source can easily power them. I've plugged them into my android phone, my wife's iPad, and my work computer and all powered them easily. Volume levels were good and sound quality was great. I did get a budget dac amp for my work computer and I'd say there seemed to be the slightest performance increase, but it also could have been my ears getting used to the headphones. So no, an amp is not needed.
