Does anyone know what kind of headphones you might be able to hook up to the TV or if you even can? My grandmother has this TV &amp; cannot hear it?

This TV has both component audio-video outs ad simple RCA audio outs. I imagine that any wireless headphones that utilize left right audio RCA outs in conjunction with their transmitter should work.

Pen Name- Wow! Thanks for all the research. I had determined that you couldn't use headphones with this TV because when I zoomed on the back panel, there was no headphone jack. There is on Samsungs. I didn't know about digital headphones working on the audio output socket.Now I'm really excited, because the LG is the clear choice over the Samsung- better picture, better audio (esp. if you have trouble hearing speech, like me), better reliability, closed captioning, which I don't think the Samsung has, and $100 cheaper!Keep me posted what you find out at the store.

I had to connect my aux to my headphone port on my tv to get sound. I couldn't get the Bluetooth to work how about you?

This has nothing to do with the headphone, but rather the TV. In my case, my TV has a LINE OUT that I use to connect to the headphone, so the TV volume control, speaker, and mute functions all work as normal. But if you plug the headphone base into the "headphone" jack of the TV, the TV's speaker is almost always muted. Bottom line--check it with any pair of wired headphones/earphones you may have laying around....

I'm having the same problem with static apparently generated by my plasma TV -- the lighter/whiter the picture, the worse the static. Is there a solution other than getting another model headphone? If so, which one? Randy

Hi Tom,I've done everything you said and that I can think of and still no dice. So I'm done trying to figure it out. I used to get pretty good surround from the the TV programs that are broadcast HD 5.1 but it seems to be gone also. I have to say that the despite all this, it does sound pretty good if stereo is what I was going for. Thanks for all your help. I really appreciate it.Take care,Dennis

Okay...we went to a big box store, looked at the LG television and talked with a saleswoman who did seem to know her electronics. Unfortunately, there is no built-in headphone jack for audio out and there are no analog audio outputs. There is only a digital optical output. She did not think that there would be a possibility to find a headphone set that would use this set up except for some that are $100's of dollars. So, no go there for us. However, as an alternative, my spouse suggests these: You could send the optical signal to a compatible hi-fi. If the hi-fi doesn't have optical input, but has co-axial digital input, you can use a $20 converter. Your other option is to get a digital-to-analog converter which is at least $50. Then either use headphones that have an amplifier or output to amplified computer speakers which have a headphone port. Perhaps you could do more research than he has done. Best of luck with your choice. Thanks, Vee, for your enthusiasm with this television.

you can if your tv has a 3.5mm headphone jack! they really work with practically everything! that's why we love them! :)

There should be a stereo audio jack on the tv for headphones connection. Just use it for the cable to the speaker unit. If it doesn't have a speaker jack then there should be some female rca audio output jacks on the back of the tv. If it doesn't have either of these then the only solution would be to connect wires to the tv speakers and run them to rca female connectors.

most older TV's only have audio out... not in. a small I pod speaker will do the trick or hook into aux in on a stereo

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.

I just received this TV. There is one connection on the back that will accept a headphone connection, but it is for PC input, so you won't be getting anything out of it. So far I've found two options for using headphones, and they both need an adapter such as Cables To Go 03182 - 3.5mm Stereo Female to RCA Male Y-Cable (Discontinued by Manufacturer)1. Hook to the TV and change the speakers option to "audio system" instead of "TV speakers." Even with the volume maxed, the output wasn't very loud in my headphones.2. Hook to my DirecTV box, which gives me louder output with no way to control it. I just received this TV.

Murray,There is no headphone jack so to use any headphone for listening to the TV, you would need to connect the TOSLINK/Optical output on the side of the TV to an optical audio input of a home theater receiver. From there it's just a matter of selecting the optical input of the receiver as a listening source. Notice that I mentioned "home theater" as opposed to stereo receiver. The former can decode the compressed Dolby Digital surround signal from the sound of some TV broadcasts and DVDs. The latter can't. Some older home theater receivers (pre-Dolby Digital) models don't have fiber optic inputs at all. In that case, you're out of luck.

This was my major complaint about the headphones. I was sitting on a chair in the living room, hubby was on the couch, the TV was on and he could still hear my music. Sound was up about 1/2 the way on my iphone.

It depends how your TV is set up. If it has an RCA audio output jack. If this is the case, then you can listen to the TV on headphones.

Well you would have to check the connections on them, almost all computers will have a 3.5mm jack that will work with these headphones but not as many TVs will support it, it just depends on your specific make and model.

I had the exact same problem with this tv. I eventually just muted the TV speakers and ran the sound exclusively through some external speakers that I have. That solved my problem.
