The RS180 does not have an optical input. However your TV should have RCA Outputs Left and Right (most TVs do). That is what you will need to connect to the RS180.

Not 100% sure but I don't think they are built to accept a direct optical input. Maybe their is a gender changer that allows it, but it would change it back to the RCA jacks with no enhancement.

I have an older pair of RS 180 head phones that has a digital optical connection. Best way to go. Why they removed it is beyond me?

I am sorry you are frustrated with the converter. My advice was only to let people know what is technically available.

Be sure to look at the audio output on your tv. I have a LG 60" and the only audio output is optical. I am going to buy the LG home theater system and these cans will plug into that system.

I have surround sound and all audio including comes through my speakers by way of my receiver. Where or how would I hook these up?

I'm thinking you only have 2 options rca outputs to 3.5 mini or 3.5 mini direct plug in if your tv has one.

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..

The headphone jack if your TV has one. Otherwise you may need and rca (red & white) cable and a female rca to 3.5mm adapter. They are cheap online.

Unless you want your audio to go to a source other than your TV... like a 5.1 stereo setup. And in that case, you'll probably want to use the digital optical or digital coaxial audio output over RCA cables (unless your stereo doesn't support that).

The AV connectors on your TV are inputs. You need sound output on the TV. In my case I have red/white audio out. You can use the enclosed 3.5 splitter to plug into a headphone jack, but the volume will be low. That might be okay for Bluetooth headphones. If your TV has only optical audio out get a different Bluetooth transmitter.

That looks like what I have. I plug an optical plug from my Apple TV to that device but, in my case, then run analog from that to an Smart Board. I would assume, with the right cable connection, you could make it work with headphones. I will tell you that sometimes I've failed to get sound. As I recall, it has always been when reconnecting. Each time I unplugged and replugged in each connecting element and it would work.

The only audio output is for a headset. 2 trips to radio shack got me a cable that would work to connect my soundbar.

You need a 3.5mm Audio-out Jack. Digital audio output is totally different and will NOT work.

Just plug it into you audio output jack on tv and and you should be good to use it .

My LED tv didn't have a headphone jack, it only had a digital (toslink) jack. After some research I picked up a Telme2: http://telme2.com/tosblue.html and it works great.

This TV doesn't have any analog audio out. There is optical and hdmi audio out. I ended up buying a receiver to power my analog speakers. I presume you would need something similar or at least a Digital to Analog Converter (DAC) if you wanted a standard headphone jack.

Yes, the optical digital input has to be connected to a digital source. TVs nowadays all have these outputs. Some older TVs also have them as well. You can use the analog stereo mini Jack to connect to computers through the headphone / speaker line out.

Not quite sure what you are trying to do ... plug the headphones directly into the TV??? The headphones come with a micro USB to USB cord ... might work if there is a USB port in your tv??

I have a Digital to Analog Audio Converter I use with my Panasonic TV. I run the Digital Optical Audio Cable into it and connect the red and white RCA jacks into it to the tower. Works good and you can leave the volume down on the TV. The converter is powered with a 9 volt power supply.

This TV has only an optical digital audio out. However, you can get something like the TRITTON™ AXPro Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound Headphones that will accept an optical digital input. Alternatively, run the optical digital audio out from the TV to a stereo receiver which has such an input and then hook your conventional headphones into the stereo receiver. Although that doesn't seem like the best use of electricity.

You need the RCA 3.5 mm audio cable (adapter). Attach it to the audio out position on the TV.

No. The only sound output is a digital optical port, that supports Dolby Digital or PCM. There are no analog outputs.For a headphone jack, you can get a headphone amplifier with an optical input. That will allow you to use headphones with the optical out. But one of those is at least another $100 or so.
