I see many mention that they use this for helping hearing loss by using this unit with headphones. My question is how do you use this with headphones?

I get terrible sound with my hearing aids. The quality through the Behringer is much improved. The quality & volumes of the signals between HD & low def is nearly unbearable. This set-up give me almost normal sound for movies & music. From the back of the TV I use RCA outs to the EQ. I use a Y jack plugged into the equalizer. I then have a headphone cord to my Bose noise reduction headphones with a volume roller snapped in. This allows me to constantly control the volume to the headphones as well as set the EQ to the best quality my ears can hear. When I travel I use a small rechargeable headphone amp with a built in EQ.

The FBQ800 equalizer is used to compensate for your particular hearing losses and has separate right and left outputs. What I use is Behringer's MiniAmp AMP800 for my headphones as it has four independent stereo outputs.I don't really have any hearing loss but I very often don't like the sound coming out of my television. By using both the FBQ800 and the AMP800 I can have exactly the sound that I want. These units are made to connect together and both cost about $70 each which considering the high performance and ultra-low noise is a great deal.

You can use an equalizer to help boost the frequencies you are missing there by improving your hearing. You would have to use the EQ between the source and either a headphone amp or a power amp with a heaphone out. Stereo would be best, so 2 of these Behringer FBQ800's would be necessary. Good lock...

The EQ must be used with an amplifier that has a headphone jack. Then, by using the EQ to boost the frequencies that can't be heard, one should be able to listen comfortably.

Yes. I have used a variety of headphones with this unit. Boise over the ear AE2 and Sennheiser noise cancelling headphones with no problems. It is a great mp3 player.

Well, I have headphones that fit the speaker, they where studio headphones and I turn it on PC and it works fine with headphones. I wouldn't recommend using headphones because, it really is useless since without headphones the speakers are a monster.

yes, using headphones is the preferred way to use the unit. Hope this helps.

There is no headphone jack that comes with the unit. You can buy a rca to 3.5 mm adapter from Amazon and plug it in to the output rca jacks. That is how I got mine to work. But even with low impedance headphones the volume is not all that loud. You would be better off with a headphone amp.2 x RCA Male, 1 x 3.5mm Stereo Female, Y-Cable 6-Inch

That is what I have & it works great. I use it a lot. Can't plug in headphone while using it, but I just take it out to plug in headphone.

I only use it for music headphones. I'll admit the directions are inadequate. First, make sure it's charged then double click your Bluetooth icon and add a device driver. Hold the middle button on the headset until it blinks slowly. If it doesn't connect automatically, double click the Bluetooth then double click the device icon then click CONNECT.

I use it while doing all sorts of exercises. Bench press, back squats (with barbell on my shoulders), crunches etc. I've had no problem whatsoever with using the headphones during any exercise.

Hello,You could use either headphone out port or line out port. However, if you use line out, you cannot control output volume. Thank you

My husband does not have hearing aids so I can't really address the question. We BOUGHT headphones for him and they work quite well. He has an accoustic neuroma and hearing aids have not been successful for him.

No headphone jack. I'm not sure what you would even use it for. This device doesn't transmit any kind of sound. It's an input device for your computer and TV, VCR, DVD player, ect.

I would use it with a really good headphone and he should have no problem with hearing it. You can use it any where and it is easy to carry.

Unfortunately it does not work that way. It does not have an AUX output though if you were close enough to the main unit to plug in earbuds you probably wouldn't need them no matter how hearing impaired you were assuming it was turned up loud enough to fill a fair sized room as it is generally designed to do. Non hearing impaired people should be able to hear this thing loud and clear for at least a 30 foot radius in an otherwise quiet room and still understand words from it even farther away. If there are hearing impaired folks that need to hear it I would recommend they sit very close to it compared to others. Unfortunately it does not work that way.

You are able to use the headphone jack using the provided adaptor cable, which screws into the jack port. Without the adaptor the headphone jack will not reach into a proper engaged position. Its all included but you have to make sure you keep up with the adaptor for headphone listening.

I'm afraid I'm not the person to ask. I'm not an audiophile and the only reason we purchased this is for use with our TV. Both my husband I use headphones, but we each need different amplification. This allows us to connect the two headphones and each of us can adjust the volume level to our own comfort. All I can tell you is that we are both satisfied with the quality of the sound. And, believe me, it WILL go MUCH louder than either of us is comfortable with.

I am not familiar with your headphones but I have found that amplifier makes a difference but might denned on sensitivity of your headphones. I use it with my iphone an my cowen mp3player
