Headphones with Roku My husband uses headphones to watch TV - this is attached to the TV using the audio out connection. Will his headphones work if I use a Roku attached to the TV?

The Roku connects to your television and then the headphones can connect to the television. If the headphones work now with whatever program sources you are using then they will also work with programming fed from the Roku. The Roku unit itself does not have a headphone jack and whatever audio features the TV is equipped with will still be functional.

Just read this on another post. Haven't tried it yet: "...we had the same problem. We finally resolved it by connecting the Roku to the TV via HDMI cables, and then using the A/V cable that came with your Roku, connect that from the Roku to your headphones using two of the connectors but not the yellow one. You'll need to get two female RC connectors so the two ends of the A/V cable and the headphones receiver connectors will connect."

if connecting with HDMI then the audio output probably is digital on the TV.

I must have something hooked up wrong because my Roku does not work with my Sennheiser RS120 Headphones.I hear my TV fine but hear nothing that is Roku related. Can I do something differently? Do I need a blue tooth bridge? I would love a solution.

Yes and no. We have a sound system but it is not connected to the TV. The headphones are the type that allow a person to listen to the TV without the sound disturbing another person. He was using them when he got up earlier than me. It appears that the makers of headphones are producing only analog ones; the Radio Shack guy was going to show me digital headphones, but they turned out to be analog connect also. The products that I have been able to find seem to start at $60+; I wouldn't mind the price if I could be sure that the product would work with our set. Thanks for your input.

Some tv's have an outlet for headphones, but in my experience, most do not. If you're lucky enough to have one, this item works great!

Sure, as long as your TV has the output for Toslink or Coaxial and your headphones use the 3.5mm audio jack or RCA. The only problem I can see you having is that on my TV you cannot control the volume via the TV so your headphone should have some sort of volume control.

There is no headphone jack. We recommend you connect the TV's HDMI ARC or Optical output connection to an amplifier that has a headphone jack. You can also use a Bluetooth headset with the TV.

This only outputs audio. There is no HDMI out port. To do that you would need an HDMI splitter, and run 1 to the TV and the other to the audio extractor. If you do that, then yes, you can plug headphones into this.

Yes, it has an audio out jack on the back of the TV that is a headphone jack size, but it would not be convenient as a jack for actual headphones, unless you used an extension to access it from the front.

I have to agree with the other two replies.I'm planning on buying two more.I have a Roku 3 video streaming deivce,for Amazon Prime,Netflix and many other streaming channels.It has a remote with a headphone jack (Bluetooth) which I use these headphones for.They just simply are the best headphones for the money.If your your a little tech savvy,there are modifications on the internet.That when you finish the mods,willmake them sound even better.That's why I'm buying two more!

I am not sure what you are referring to. When the headphones are plugged into the jack on our receiver we can't hear the TV at all without the headphones on. Since my husband and I both wear a headphone we haven't noticed any leakages. If one of us removes his/her headset to talk the other hears what is said.

Yes. If your tv has audio in and out in the back of the set, connect it to out. If not you will need to buy a Digital optical audio cable, and a Optical/Coaxial Digital Audio - to - Analog Converter. Don't let this scare you, lol It just means you go to Best Buy or even look for it on Amazon. I am not really tech savy, and I hooked it up in a few minutes. Good luck with your headphones, Mine never did work. Went to Walmart and bought a pair. Very happy now..

Modern televisions have audio ports on them which the headphones will plug right into. Check your television carefully - if the port takes a standard MP3 player earplug plug, it will take the head phones.

There is a separate transponder device which remains wired to the TV using an 1/8" cable (connected to "audio out" at the TV). Also gets plugged into a standard outlet for power. The headphones connect wirelessly to the transponder.

There is a portion (where you keep the headphones when not in use), that attaches directly to the television, so headphones will only pick up signal from that TV.

But, it can be done by spitting the audio output from the roku controller, routing one to the aux in jack in your TV or Tuner the other to the headphones. Splitters and cables are available at say radio shack or amazon.

I believe if you double check that it has a headphone jack, it will work with your headphones. One drawback is that the volume possibly might not work via TV volume control. In that case it would be work more efficient to hook up to a small stereo system and use the headphone jack on it. If your headphones have its own volume, this may work. I found I had to do a lot of trial and error to accomplish what I was working towards. I have a TV without the usual audio outputs, only an optical/audio out. I hope this helps.

The VIZIO manual shows no provisions for a headphone jack. I myself have hearing difficulties and when the wife wants to sleep I switch to wireless type headphones. These utilize the RCA phono output jacks. A hardwired set of direct connection headphones is incompatible to the TV set.

The only way to use these headphones is through the bluetooth or the provided cable. But you can get a Bluetooth transmitter and hook it through your tv or stereo to work with the headphones. I did this and watch movies while I work. I have been very happy with this solution. Highly recommended.
