1) My wife wants to use these on the treadmill with the TV volume turned down/off (TV has Bluetooth transmitter). Is this okay?2) Warranty?

These will work fine as described. I have never had to use the warranty so I cannot answer that question. These headphones work fine for working out on equipment or for running outside too.

i'm not sure I understand the question, but if you are using this with the tv, you should be able to control volume easily through the button on the headset or through the tv volume, each volume is separate, you can't turn the tv volume off because if you mute it you won't hear through the headset, but if your tv is paired with these headsets the sound will not come out of your tv speakers and will only come out of the headset, so no need to turn it off if that is your question.

I run and bike with them on. Main worry from what I read is sweat but I have not run into a problem yet. I just try not to sweat directly on them.

1. It would depend on if you could get the headset to pair with the tv. 2. I don't know about the warranty, but I've been using 2 sets for tree trimming for about a year now, and I haven't had any problems. Just as a side note, I sweat--a lot--like a snow cone in phoenix, and the headset is still chugging along.

I don't know what the warranty is on the TV Ears. We have had our first pair for at least 5-6 years and are still using the ears. I don't believe you will be disappointed if you purchase these ears. Even though I don't need them to hear, I use them occasionally so I can listen to my favorite shows and not disturb my spouse. Best purchase I've ever made.

first find out if your tv requires active or passive, these are active, are manufactures the same these are sony correct you could buy one pair to try if it doesn't work, i buy it from you. depending on cost. kabosh@sbcglobal.net

I bought a pair of these in late September. After about 150 miles of running something within them has given way and makes a noticeable rattling on the control (right ear) side.. They still work though, but just bear in mind that they are a consumable that will not last for years on end. Given that they are rechargeable, I figured I'd get about 18-24 solid months out of them, but sadly that may not be the case. I'll use them till they fail or if the rattling becomes overly obnoxious. I've used them in warm temps, freezing temps, light rain and snow and they work just fine. They aren't water/weatherproof, but given the physical breakdown I'll have no qualms against using them out in the elements. I bought a pair of these in late September.

I have the 6i's, which are a step lower than this, and I have the same issue. Actually, it's kind of an endearing quirk, the thump, and most especially chewing gum.For exercise in a gym that isn't too loud, I prefer on-ear headphones (I have a pair of $15 Sony's that work just fine), because the cord is shorter and there's no thump, but there's nothing like a pair of Etymotic Research headphones for sitting, blocking things out (libraries, airplanes, etc.), and working.

I useSennheiser wireless headphones purchased at Radio Shack for $99. Once tuning is set, they work great and pay for themselves. My TV isn't Bluetooth capable otherwise I'd be set with the Vizio wireless headphones. Hope this helps.

I watch tv while I walk on the Proform 790T. I have to turn up the tv volume a little, but not enough to bother people in a connecting room. It does get a little louder the faster you go, so if you plan on running on your treadmill you may have a problem.

There are bluetooth pieces like this that act either or, you juust have to be careful and read the details welli have one thats hooked up to my tv as a transmitter so i can hear it at night thru bluetooth headphones when my girl is trying to sleep and i want to watch tv and then i also have one that acts as a receiver on a speaker so i can bluetooth my phone and listen to music.

The treadmill is very quiet, but the beeps are loud and there isn't a built-in method to turn them down\off. It beeps when you start\stop\adjust speed\reset it, but not during normal operation. I've read that some folks take the back of the control unit off and use glue to seal up the speaker. I've not needed to do that, even when using it in an open office setting, but might be an option if you're annoying your neighbor.

We had that happen, but we can't remember exactly what the issue was. My wife thinks that she shut them off and turned them back on to correct it. Ours broke within four months. It has been a while since we used them.

hey, I never use it on treadmill. But the headphone is pretty tight and I think it will work. The thing is the price is higher than before...

Thanks, that's all the info I need! I'm only on the treadmill or elliptical for an hour, so I doubt I will reach that discomfort point. I'm just over those crappy earbuds that came with my ipod. Thanks so much for your response!-Mara

Just checked and mine is no longer working either. I have them connected via cables to my pc so it's been a while since I used the bluetooth feature. Talk about disappointing. I can no longer recommend this company. I'm also having problems with my udac-2 which is luckily still under warranty.

The only way to use these headphones is through the bluetooth or the provided cable. But you can get a Bluetooth transmitter and hook it through your tv or stereo to work with the headphones. I did this and watch movies while I work. I have been very happy with this solution. Highly recommended.

I only used these wireless FM headphones for TV viewing, not doing anything. I suppose they would stay put on one's head if one was mildly active like walking or jogging on a treadmill. You could use them plugged into something like a phone or MP3 player to listen to music.

If your TV is smart enough to operate Bluetooth then yes you can, but I don't recommend buying these, unless if you don't care about sound quality. I tried them with Skype and the sound was not clear at all. Its like your listening to the first TVs ever made.
