Does plugging in headphones cut sound from the TV speakers or can sound ccome from both?

Plugging headphones into the headphone jack turns off the TV Speakers. Mute also mutes both speakers and phones. I use wireless phones, but plug them into my cable box instead of the phone jack. The only other audio out is optical digital which could go through an adapter for analog audio out.

It probably depends on the TV. I use mine with my DirecTV and the volume is not cut off. I need to turn down the TV volune to stop hearing it. You can tell just by plugging in standard head phones or earbuds. These headphones will work the same.

Hi,Try turning up the tv volume (if you can control the tv's speakers to shut them off) and lowering the volume setting on the headphones.I've found that this approach decreases background noise.Michael

On my Samsung TV I have mine plugged into the "Audio Out" outlet and others can hear the sound as well as the sound going through my BaseStation. On my other TV I have a BaseStation plugged into the sound system device and it blocks the sound for others in the room. So it's a matter of experimenting which plug works.

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.

Input on home sys is high impedance and TV out is low. This could damage one of your devices. I have done it with devices other than TV and stereo. I would not do it for long or often. Go to hi end audio store and ask questions, don't let them give a simple answer.

While the audio out on your tv works fine, I've found that you get better sound if you plug it directly into the audio out jack on your desktop set. (assuming you have cable or satellite tv.)

No, it does not cut off the tv speakers. You can still use them with your headphones plugged in and in use.

I plugged mine into both the headphone jack and the red and white audio outlets on the TV. Both gave me a delay in my hearing aids. If I listen to TV by myself, its OK, but while watching with the rest of the family listening with the normal TV speakers, this just doesn't work.

It depends how your TV is set up. If it has an RCA audio output jack. If this is the case, then you can listen to the TV on headphones.

These headsets do not cut the sound from the TV, so both can hear the sound. If you mute the TV sound however, then only the earphones pickup the sound.

The answer is "no". When you plug a set of headphones into the surround sound receiver, the speakers are automatically muted and you can only listen through the headphones.

That's a function of the TV and how you connect to it. If the TV mutes the audio out in lockstep with the speakers, then the headphones will mute with the TV.

Yes and no. Once plugged in, the audio will immediately go to the headphones with any sound coming from the xbox, but it will also still come from the television. When I want to be quiet I have to mute the TV volume. A slight annoyance.

They should have no problem. I can mute the TV completely and still I have sound and can adjust it. I hooked my headphones into the earphone jack on the TV and it worked great without having to use audio jacks.

Can you still hear the sound through the TV as well as the wireless speakers. I would like to hear the sound from both, and it is unclear whether using the speakers stops the sound coming out of the TV too? I see that when you use the headphone jack, the sound does stop coming out of the TV. But when you use the RCA plug, does that change anything and allow the sound to come from both?

Dear James, Thanks for your inquiry. If you are going to use the headphone jack, you're going to probably come close to maxing the volume in the television itself so more signal gets into the soundbar. Does your TV have an optical audio output? That would be a better option.Regards,Eric CohenWorld Wide Stereo
