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?

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.

In a very quiet setting, maybe. But not loud enough to elicit complaints, I don't think. I routinely listen on them while my wife watches TV, and she's never mentioned it. And she's the type that surely would, if it interfered with her shows!

Check to see if your TV supports wireless headphones. It might be a cheaper solution. NOTE: Other exercise machines may have the same noise level. This machine is about the same as others on the market. Go to a couple of different gyms and try them out, before you buy a replacement. Usually each gym has a week trial period "no charge".

TV ears are great. The only contrary remark is if you should break the metal band between the ear pods. Do not expect them to replace or repair. I sent a pair to their address in So Cal along with the broken ear pods/band with my approval to repair or replace with my credit card number. They NEVER responded in any form... Other than that they are worth the cost. Thank you for asking. DP

I am looking at doing the same thing for my wives hearing aids. Amazon has several Bluetooth transmitters available. I 'm still working on what transmitter to buy. One of the major differences is battery or wall plug. Some that run on rechargeable batteries do not transmit while recharging. I plan to install it in our theater room. Currently she uses "TV Ears 3.0 System" earphones (wireless & works great) for listening to the TV. They actually digitally process the sound so that the speaking portion is clearer for those that have a hearing loss. With Bluetooth, you will have to rely on the settings of your particular hearing aids. I am looking at doing the same thing for my wives hearing aids.

I should have added that I bought an optical splitter for my tv in conjunction with a Bluetooth transmitter, one optical went to a sound bar and the other to the transmitter, thus TV/sound bar sound is independent of Bluetooth which transmits to my Bluetooth headphones, you could do something along that line as well.

I used mine for working out-but when I tested them in my office my co-workers could not hear them- my first set worked great until after half a dozen uses the volume was inaudible-my second set the left side had no volume when I received it- I have ordered another set and am hoping for a better scenario- when they work they are fabulous!

I used these wireless headphones on two different TVs. One is a relatively modern SONY 40" LCD and the other an outdated Hitachi Projection TV. On the Sony I was able to plug the RCA cable directly into the TV. With the Hitachi I couldn't find a useful place to plug the Sennheiser so I plugged it directly into the Cable Box. This limits my ability to use the headphones on the Hitachi to programs coming directly from my cable provider. I can't use them when viewing something streamed via Roku or from the DVD player I use on that TV. That's my experience. Perhaps some Geek can provide you with a better solution. Good luck.

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.

They sound really good and most of the time the connection is flawless, but it is not infallible. For example, when using them at home, if I turn run my microwave to heat something up, it causes significant cut outs while running. This is similar to how microwaves used to interfere with older cordless phones (prior to them 5.0+ GHz phones now common). That's the worst of it. Also, if you try to stray too far away from your bluetooth source, it will start to have cut outs periodically.

It is for my wife. I don't use them when exercising. minor discomfort when on too long, but I adjust them and they are fine. great sound, good battery life.

I use them, and love them, from my computer. They have sound levels on them but they also respond to sound increases/decreases made from the computer provided that I connect by bluetooth or 3.5 jack. With an optical connection they do not. There is a slight delay when using bluetooth which is fine for music but not for watching tv on the computer.

Probably not. The SmartHome filter is tuned to block intereference at 120 KHz (and IIRC the Lutron filters at 130 KHz). If the treadmill is intereferring with X10 devices then probably yes. If the problem is the motor on the treadmill is causing noise/interference to a radio or TV then you need a more general RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) filter, plugged in to the line cord of the treadmill. Ideally have the motor (or whatever part is causing the problem) replaced, but we know how tight money is!

My husband uses them while on the treadmill. He seems pleased with them. (I don't run so I can only give you second hand knowledge.)

Yes, these could probably be used on a treadmill. I'm not sure how well the earcups will hold up to being sweated on, though.

I use Sennheiser 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.

Hey bud, so the earphones are originally and honestly are really amazing. I lost mine after 2 weeks. Very clumsy like that. But sorry, won't be able to answer warranty questions. But earphones are totally worth it. If you have the $$$ ofcourse!
