Can the volume on the TV be on for someone else to watch tv while you wear the headset?

No, at least they didn't work for us, (my husband and I.) Most head phones only work one way or the other, either the headphones or the TV. You might try the duel headphones that are made for use in an automobile or boat. These headphones worked well just for me, so my husband could sleep at night while I watched TV, since I stay up late. My problem was the round shape, which I personally found uncomfortable, they sat on my ears instead of around my ears. After awhile they just hurt. I hope I've helped you.

You can have the tv volume at whatever level you like and the person wearing the headset can adjust their volume in the headset itself.

Yes, that's how we use it. However it must not be plugged into the headphone jack in the front of the TV as that mutes the TV speaker in most sets. They come with a mini-stero jack and a phono jack. Use whatever type receptacle your TV has. MOst modern TVs have several options. In some cases they can be plugged into your cable box or amplifier. If needed adapters for other setups can be had at Radio Shack.

It depends how old your TV is. On some newer flat screen models you can. It just depends on the model! I have a Sony 50" and I can, but my brother has a Samsung 32" and he can't on his! Hope this helps you in a way!

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....

Not unless your TV has a bypass option for the headphone jack. Most TVs cut the speaker sound automatically when a headphone jack is plugged in.

Typically no - most headset jacks are wired to turn the speakers off as soon as something is plugged in. This depends more on your TV than the headsets themselves

You can have the sound to the TV off or it can be on. My husband absolutely loves his! We all appreciate being able to turn the volume to the TV down.

I also have the same question as the first couple of posts. My husband is hearing impaired and it is hard to watch TV with him having the volume so loud. So, if we have our TV hooked up to a reciever and get him a wireless head set and hook the head set up to the TV will we both be able to watch TV and each be able to control the volume to suit each of us?

I can read while my mother listens to TV wearing her headset with no issue. If she has it positioned slightly off kilter I may hear a little noise, but it isn't distracting.

Yes! The person wearing the headset has the ability to turn the volume as loud as they need it in order for them to hear the sound of the TV. Anyone else sitting in the room is able to listen to the TV at whatever volume it is, which would more than likely be lower than the person with the headset. I do believe this saved our marriage...:). It has been a blessing for my husband who has hearing difficulties and the TV does not have to be blasting me out of the room. Strongly recommend to everyone with a hearing disabled family member!

Yes, everyone else can still hear the TV at their level of volume, while a person hard of hearing uses the headphones. When my dad, who is completely deaf in one ear and going deaf in the other, wheres these headphones, we're able to have the volume to half the level my dad would need it to hear. There is a separate volume control on the headphones themselves, that the wearer can use to adjust the volume. Also, my dad has the transmitter behind the TV, and still works great.

Yes, You can both listen to the same program and have different volumes, the headphones have a separate volume control on them, if your wife doesn,t want to listen to the show, you can turn the TV volume down and still use your volume control on your headphones

No. Volume on the left earpiece evenly controls both sides. No individual controls. sound can be evenly raisedor lower by rocker-type conrol on left ear, and, of course level can be adjusted on your TV remote and/or at the TV set.

Yes you can, but I prefer the sound when I keep the TV volume about mid-range and adjust the volume with the tower remote.

Yes! The head set has a volume control of it's own so you can turn the headset volume where you want it, BUT in my case I am deaf in my left ear and wear a hearing aid in my right ear except when wearing a headset but in using this headset I had to crank up the TV volume to 100% so it would come thru the headset and I could just barely hear the TV and it was raspy. I had my son try on the headset and he said it worked fine for him so I guess it was my ear causing the problem, and I returned the headset for credit. I have a Visio TV so I purchased a Visio Sound Bar and it works fine but probably set at a louder volume than normal but with clear undistorted sound much better than the TV speakers produce. Yes!

Yes,I wear it when I am watching TV and I set the control so that all I hear is the sound coming from the earpiece. But, I must say that when my husband speaks to me, I must remove one earpiece to hear him.

yes both can hear the tv but if the person who is listening to the tv has the sound high the person with the headphones will hear a slight echo
1490343
Yes. Tap the volume/mute button on the side of the headset until you hear the message "mute".
1207722
Yes you can. It can be set to extremely loud to hear but when they speak into it they will have to back away from the transmitter as they speak back to you or it will sound garbled.

No, there is one volume control that affects both ears. If the base unit is plugged into the TV headphone jack, the TV volume must be turned up enough to have sufficient signal to the headset. The headset volume can then boost or lower the level. If the headset is plugged into an Audio Out either from the TV or another devise, the TV volume is completely independent from the headset volume.
2203013
Yes, you can listen to the TV while also listening to it on the headphones.

The TV sound is not cut out. You can maintain a comfortable listening mode for the person without the head set with the person with the headset maintaining their comfortable listening volume. The Set 840 use radio frequency and not inferred transmission.
