if my tv doesn't have output jacks, will these work or...

Probably not. These get audio from the RCA audio jacks and game audio from the 1/8 inch jack that connect to the xbox controller. If your using a tv with just a cable connection you could hook up a VCR and utilize that component to view channels and get the audio out. Or possibly connect directly to the output from the cable box as most of them have multiple outputs on them. Hope this helps.

It's possible. If the tv connectors are labeled audio out, that means that they will output a signal. Those connectors are either powered or unpowered. If they are powered, then the connectors have an amplifier inside the tv to deliver powered sound to unpowered speakers. OR, the connectors could just be providing a very low power audio output for connection to a stereo receiver or some other equivalent source that can provide the amplification needed to drive the speakers. The only way to find out is to go ahead and test it. Turn on your tv, turn the volume down to it's lowest setting, then connect the speakers. Then, slowly turn up the volume to see if you get any sound. If you do, you're all set. If you don't then you need connect the tv outputs to a stereo or multichannel receiver, or something similar that can provide the power to drive the speakers. Good luck!

This is a persistent question. They work with any device that has RCA audio jack output.

You'd need some sort of adapter. These are not designed for connection to HDMI.

I do not know for sure though they might work if you could plug them directly into a TV as long as you have a 3.5mm audio port. They don't work to well if I plug them directly into my 500 Watt stereo receiver, but they work great on an mp3 player.

They are headphones, not a TV.Jokes aside, havent tried it. It depends on if your TV has a headphone jack or not.

Just be careful, some TVs don't have RCA outputs or headphone jacks. Then you need a digital to analogue converter (i think that would work, I am working on this problem myself.) Or I believe you can hook it straight to a cable box to avoid all that (with RCA cables.)

they can be connected to any source that has the red and white RCA style jacks for an output. if you need to you can purchase adapters and cables to connect these to any line level output. they will only work on a source that is not already amplified. if you plan on connecting them to an amplifier or the speakers on the televisions then I would not suggest doing that. otherwise, yes these may work for your application.

They don't "work" with much of anything. As long as the TV or PS3 has either a headphone jack or stereo output you can connect this, but again, these headphones are a waste of money.

Hmmm . . . I was in a room without television when I tried them, and I believe the set in the other room was off. I'll try again without any other electronics on and update. Thanks for the tip!

Randy,I'm not sure. I wasn't sure they would work for our TV, so I ordered them and figured if they didn't work, I'd return them. Luckily, they worked for our TV.

Yes, assuming your TV has audio outputs, which pretty much every TV has anymore. Check to see if you have red and white round jacks labeled "Audio Out". If so, you're good. One thing to bear in mind is some of the quirks about this unit. Mt review listed some of the idiosyncrasies about this product, but I have to say that the sound quality is quite good for the price. Good luck with whatever decisions you make!

They might help. You would still have to plug the headphones into the tv. The cord might not reach. Also, once you plug into the audio jack, no one else will be able to hear anything. If you have a newer model tv, I have to believe there are other products that would work.

Not without an AMP or receiver to power them your TV alone only puts out a sound signal nothing big enough to power a speaker other than your headphones out of the front jack

I bought 2 of them & they both worked. Make sure they are compatible with your TV. check the buttons to see if they are the same!

Depends on the output of the tv if it has audio out ups the answere is yes. If they are tied to the tv volumn control you probably won't be happy. It should have independent audio out most likely RCA plugs

These speakers wire to your stereo/tuner like any others, they are powered by a transformer. Should be audio outputs on the tv to connect to the stereo amp/tuner. Mine work fine.
