Is this TV Ears 11280 Speaker used in lieu of the old TV Ears headsets?

This was a new purchase. We did not have anything prior to this. My husband did not want to use headsets of any kind. This works perfect & makes TV viewing bearable. I know several people who purchased this speaker and all are very pleased.

I think it's an alternative. I got the Speaker for a husband who hates headphones. The transmitter appears to have a place to charge headsets, but since we don't want headsets, this function is not relevant for us. My husband keeps the speaker close to the sofa where he sits. That allows the rest of us in the adjoining living room hear ourselves think, talk to each other, read, etc., without the TV blaring in our ears!

Actually I use them both: the headset when I'm not wearing my hearing aids or when silence is especially welocome, and the speaker at all other times. I usually end up using the speaker almost always. It does a nice job.

No. It was purchased instead of the headset. I did not think my 82 year old mother-in-law would like to wear headphones.

Yes. Audio outputs on left side of TV include headset, RCA (L&R) and coaxial audio.

The headsets with the "H" in the model # have the QD (Quick Disconnect) feature as shown in the picture. Not an rj11

Absolutely. There's nothing magical in new VS old speakers, still hook them up with two wires......

Yes with the correct adaptor cables. The headset does not load down the TV output.

Yes. I recommend using the audio out on the back of the tv vs the side or front of the tv so the person using the headset has volume control as well as the person not using the tv listening headset. Otherwise you will cut off the volume from the tv speakers. Romy Pierce ATS Resources 505.292.0298 877.287.0608

Yes. Over the years, all the H-series headsets I've owned have been over (not "in") the ear models. I have worn these headsets for many hours a day for maybe 10 years. 8-12 hours on business days, sometimes only a couple on weekends.

yes..the 3.0 has been discontinue for the 5.0.. but I use the 3.0 base with the 2.3 headset..they can fill you in more if you call the 800 number for tv ears

The pic your looking at is the older model that is not available. The newer one's do have exexternal speakers! I love these head phones!

Yes it is, the back of the speakers have conventional speaker connections. In addition, if you want to use the control pod (redundant if you have a receiver), it has digital coax and optical inputs as well as 3x 3.5mm audio jacks.

I don't believe so, at least not directly. The "audio out" on this set is a proprietary optical audio jack called TOS-LINK (abbreviated version of "Toshiba-Link"). A standard headphone jack (3.5mm) will not fit into, nor produce sound from a TOS-LINK jack. Your only hope, from what I can tell, would be to find an adapter cable with a male end to connect into the television's TOS-LINK outlet and a female end to connect your 3.5mm headphones into. A few quick Google searches didn't produce much of anything worthwhile, so the technology may not exist, but if you find out otherwise, be sure to share!

Yes, these are actually a Samsung headset and not the replacement. I previously bought these to replace the ones I lost, that originally came with the phone, and they were the same.

Yes, both headsets can be charged or used to listen to TV at the same time. If you have two people in need of hearing assistance while watching the TV this is a great solution! They will both be able to wear a headset and adjust the volume on that headset independent of the other headset and the TV.

It depends what outputs your TV or AV receiver offer. I connected my headset to an output that is independent of the TV audio amplifier, enabling me to use the headsets with the TV speakers off or on.

Unknown, I dont own that headset. Good luck in your quest to find that one person who owns both!

They work beautifully with TVs. Ours is plugged in to the earphone jack, on quite an old set. I imagine you would use the aux. speaker jack on newer models.

I can't attest to these but I do have a set of 12 year old X220 speakers that have had a fair bit of use (even hooked up to a TV) and they still sound like they did when I pulled them out of the box.
