Just received TV Ears. Headset is too tight. TVears.com said the rubber tips will solve the problem (another $29.00) Anyone have a solution to this?

I quit using mine and bought a headset from Best Buy that fits over the entire ear and gives me surround sound.

Hmmm can't see how that would help but maybe it just makes for a little more room??

Send them back~ they don't have the same voice clarification as the 2.3 Original, the Professional. I have owned every set from the beginning until now. I am considering purchasing the 5.0

Nothing works. It's a design problem. I'm looking for a new product. Save the $29.00 and put it toward something else.

I tips are not the problem. It is the arms if you will of the actual TV Ears that are going from the main unit to your ears. It is way too tight and I honestly stopped using mine because of that very problem.

Nothing will make them comfortable. Don't waste any more of your money. I threw the damn thing away. Return it if you can.

Just another gimmick to get more money from the customer. I am not at all pleased with the device as it hurts my ears also. The rubber tips should be part of the package.

The same thing happened to mine. I emailed the company and told them the problem, they sent out another one and the same thing happen again. They are suppose to be giving me a refund but didn't get it yet. I sent both headsets back. I believe they all have defects.

I haven't tried it, but it looks like a mini-plug type extension (like what is used on a stereo headset) would work. The plug type is the same. The extensions are cheap. Would be worth the experiment. Now you've got me curious...

Yes, go to Radio Shack. They have an earphone headset which in my opinion is far superior to TV ears. It is wireless and the headset sits on top of your head just like the radio engineers wear. It has volume control, and has replaceable/rechargeable batteries. I had three sets of TV ears and they either broke or the battery would only last for an hour before I had to place them on the charger. No such problems with the Radio Shack headset.

I would think so...the cable connection to the drivers is thick...as for the tips, there are a bunch of them to size...they do stick out of the ear slightly...

Hello RI am pretty sure they will not fit on the original headphones, but I couldn´t find them (the originals) at home to make sure.I wanted to remind you that the tips come in 3 different sizes for both models, so maybe that is the problem with the original ones. Anyway the new headphones with the new tips are a way much better and stay perfect in your ears under any activityBest regards.... Belen

I know, I don't like the foam ones either. But there is another alternative I found and been using and far more comfortable! They are the TV Ears Rubber Silicone Extra/Replacement Ear Tips. They're really good though you fork out cash more but it's worth your comfort. Hope this helps.

I have been using head sets for 15 years. These are the best I have used in this price range. When I am watching TV by myself I turn the sound off on the TV and set the volume on my headset. I do not disturb any one. When I watch TV with my husband or someone else I adjust the volume to my liking on the headset and they turn the volume on the TV to where they want it. The only problem I have is while I am using the headset I can not hear anything else outside the TV. ( no phone, doorbell or anyone talking.) Dolores

I'm sorry don't like those people. But you could call them and see if they will resolve it, they don't want to hear about the broken ones but if you get one of the nicer people they might help you with the price. I'm through with tv ears I sent the broken ones and they replaced them for $80+. They don't care that they break !

I have used TV EARS for more than 5 years. Their product is not improving with time: "The only beneficial accessory you require is duct tape or black electrician's tape as the slender plastic tubing between the ear buds and the battery unit are f-r-a-g-i-l-e. Two sets in the last 6 months have broken as I take them off, this with my softest touch as I know the risks. I buy them because they are effective hearing aids, but they are not as durable as the price supposes. For what TV EARS charges, they should be reinforced with fiberglass! come wrapped in tape! Which is what I do from the beginning now in order to get my money's worth." Bill M. Simpson I have used TV EARS for more than 5 years.

I got a chance to talk to monster guys. He told that I can replace the earphones but he is not sure that if I will receive the earphones with the right angle connector. BTW... i am planning to return these as it doesnt feel comfortable at all. Sound wise its excellent but i have considerable pain in my ears after wearing them for 1 hour. I tried all the eartips, but nothing seems to be comfortable. Any suggestions???

You could have chosen a wrong size ear tip [the white plastic thing as described]; try the rest that supplied with the device, there are five of them in different sizes, one of those should fit you well

Make sure the earbud rubber is secured properly and then inserted in the ear nice and snug, I've noticed if it comes loose in the ear you can hear sound loss. Other than that make sure jack is inserted all way in. If all that fails I would have say got faulty pair. Best of luck!

There is an over the ear guide accessory included that solves this problem. That being said, I have not had a problem with them falling out, either way. They are a bit heavy, so you'll need to find a good fitting tip (which should be easy enough with all the accessories they provide). Once you find a proper fitting tip, it shouldn't be an issue.

My head is normal-sized. Headsets are still too hard for any-size head. Need to design a better, more comfortable headsets. Use better materials.

I think Tv ears is a rip off. You can do much better then wasting your money on these.

My husband replaced the ear piece with a headset from radio shack but he said that the ear piece fit alright and stayed in. He just preferred a headset.
