Can I watch television with it on? Would I be able to hear it? Also, can it work well in a larger room (e.g. living room). Thanks.

If you wish, you can, it does have a good volume. It also has an adaptive button that plays louder when other sounds compete.

I keep mine on with the tv. .. turn off the enhanced mode and just use manual volume .. I have one in my living room and one beside my bed in the bedroom. I keep the ocean on ... makes me feel like I live on the beach!

We do. But we have to turn the volume up louder on the TV to hear it. When we finally turn off the tv we can rest easy with our Ecotones Sound Machine.

You probably could...you can adjust the volume...I don't know if you'd want to do that though. The whole idea of it is to create background noise to distract you and help you sleep...you can turn it up pretty high. I think it would work in a living room, it does project, it also has a nice feature that if background noise goes up, it adjusts the volume to automatically go up. If you cough, the volume goes up for that moment. I has a lot of sounds to choose from. I use it to help me sleep since I have a constant ringing in my ear. It seems to help most of the time. Good luck.

You can watch it with the television on but you'll have to turn off the feature that makes the unit volume raise to compensate for background sounds; otherwise, the machine will consider the TV background noise and it will try to drown it out. It's loud enough for a decent-sized room but the closer it is to you, the better it will work.

The volume can be set constant, and if low enough you could watch TV with it on. But is also has a function where the volume level increase or decreases based on noice it picks up. So the higher the volume on the TV, the louder the machine would go. You would have to set the volume level as constant. This thing is a big upgrade on our earlier machine, and works really well as it is highly adjustable.

Yes, you can watch TV with the Ecotunes Sound machine on, although you may want to turn off the "adaptive" feature which increases the sound when noise in the room amplifies, that could be a possible annoying situation. And yes it does work well in large rooms, if I turn the volume up I can even hear it in another room, it gets fairly loud, which is nice. Hope this helps! I love mine, I even bought the travel size so I never have to leave home without it.

This is a machine that is designed to help you get to sleep. Why on earth would you want to listen with the TV on? When the machine senses any noise that will interfere with your sleep, it gets a little louder. If you read the description, it says "This system continuously and automatically "listens" for ambient noise that can disrupt your calm state. Adaptive Sound technology responds to intrusive noises by remixing sound profiles and adjusting the volume to mask the noise without becoming disruptive itself." It is made for sleeping.

the question should be how good is the sound on your large tv. i have a samsung 60 smart tv with very good sound. the jbl sound bar provides compatible excellent stereo/surround sound..great for concerts, movies etc. a great bass also. only negative- the remote sucks!

It might work in the back of your television to project the sound through bluetooth speakers, but I'm not sure. The range is great, I use it on my computer for my bluetooth headphones, I can be twenty feet away and the sound is as good as if i was a foot away from my computer

Depends what you are after / personally prefer. It does not have big, encompassing sound by itself. We use it downstairs as a general purpose TV - watching the news, broadcast shows, etc...

YES, no problem. I like this TV, except I have to crank the volume to 100% most of the time as I am a bit hard of hearing. I guess TV Ears will be next.Bill

On my hookup I control the volume seperatly on the TV and the TV Ears unit. Either one or both can be played at the same time. My hearing is not the best however the T v ears speaker is absolutely a god send for me. I have 2 of these units, one for the living room and one for the bedroom.

Audio should be no problem soon as you connect it to HDMI on your tv but the one i purchased didn't work at all but i guess thts why its cheap...so good luck!

It depends on how your TV delivers it's sound. If it has a low level analogue out(RCA jacks) you should have no problem(except for a possible delay in the sound. However if your only output is a headphone jack, it might defeat the TV sound. I can't really help you without your TV's manual.

Sorry it took so long to get back to you. I work nights and sleep most of the day. Mine sits outside about 15' away from the house and while inside watching tv, you can here it but not loud enough to need to turn up the tv. I have a PVC fence, so the sound does carry a bit more for others but not enough to interfere with their going ons. I kind of like hearing the little noise I get from it, so I also know which of my appliances is giving it a load when it ramps up.

Mixed answers here about sound on the TV. I want something lightweight to listen to the TV while hubby sleeps. Can the TV volume be off while I listen to it thru headphones???

Hi Leonard,My husband tells me that your TV would have to have an earphone jack sometimes located on the side or the front. We have a large screen Panasonic that doesn't have one... if you can believe that... yet we have a small generic flat screen... that does... go figure. He LOVES his headphones... sometimes when we are watching the same program... he sets his small tv to a program and comes out to watch it with me on the big screen... and I'm not blasted out of the place.Good luck... and enjoy.

Should have little problem with impedance & current in ur tvs headphone output. It has a very open alive dynamic sound. Works well w amps having slightly warm sound & with very well controlled highs. Big phones, so comfort varies.

You could connect this speaker to almost any modern tv with the right cable. There are adapters that convert digital outputs to analog ones and cables that convert from red/white audio jacks to a headphone style jack. The only reason why I wouldn't use this with a tv is that it is mono and not stereo so, although the sound will be loud, it will not be in stereo.

I have not tried it with the TV. Anyway, I don't think it's powerful enough to enhance the TV sound. It is great for the computer. It makes the sounds, especially conversations, much clearer.

My husband uses his because he can not hear the deep tones on the TV. This definitely helps. The sound is not stereo, but acceptable. It sure beats having to blast the TV so he can hear. I used to wear ear plugs and could still hear the TV. There is rarely any lag in receiving the sound, which is a huge plus. The biggest downfall of this is there is no remote to adjust the sound. It is located next to my husbands recliner, so I have to get up to adjust the sound if he is not sitting there. At that point, I usually just turn it off and listen through the TV speakers.

Whad' ya say? Seriously, I don't think so. It's been a while since I sent it back (because it clicked a lot). If you have a relatively new TV (past 5-6 years), you may be able to plug in a headset, which should seem louder for you.

With my newer TV it does work with the TV speakers. We get sound from the TV in front of us and the Ears system behind us. It doesn't work that way on my mother's older TV. She can only have the sound on one.
