I have a Samsung Series 5 5203 Smart TV with a digital audio output jack. Will this device enhance the bass and overall sound of my headphones?

Sorry to say no. This device has only analog inputs. It will not interprete the digital signal.

I use this amplifier for voice-over work specifically because it does not enhance any frequency ranges. Most headphones hype either the low mids or the lows. Also, you probably can set EQ in the TV to enhance certain frequencies.

I can only respond that is does not work with Samsung apps on my supposedly Smart TV, and that each company claims the other for the shortcoming. It does improve the sound substantially over the poor speakers on all types of LCD and Plasma TVs.

I do not know what kind of a jack (end of your earphone cord) end you have on the ear phone this would have to connect to an amp. so that you could receive the sound in a digital format or stereo sound from some kind of receiver. Your Samsung TV sends out the signal via a optical light signal so you have to convert this to a digital sound to hear it. I hope this helps! Mike

Yes. But you have to purchase a stereo RCA(m) to 3.5mm (f)adapter to use with the analog audio output. Larger tvs typically don't include a standard headphone jack.

Dean Hansen, There is an audio output for receivers that carries a fixed (rather than the headphone-friendly "variable") output only. If there's a headphone option, it would need to be on the receiver, audio bar or Home Theater system, since one isn't available on the TV. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products. --Mr. S

Not necessarily, but it's possible. If your current amplification source (e.g. the internal headphone amp in a PC, phone, or whatever) distorts at higher volume, using an external amp like this can allow you to turn the volume knob down on your device and reduce this distortion. If your current amplification source can boost volume without distorting, then you should not notice any improvement in sound quality

It would depend on what type of connectors you have on the TV. the speakers have the headphone sized plug (3.5mm?).You would need something that would adapt to what you have on the tv's output. It's to hard to generalize. . .

I dont think you can directly, at least I could not. Cant believe Samsung sells TVs with no audio output. I was able to connect my Sennheiser headphones up to the cable box audio output and accomplish the same thing.

In answer to your question, that is an excellent idea to take advantage of the typical digital audio output jack on ones modern LED TV's now; as its much higher quality to use digital audio format audio signal of course;this would be both a definite qualitative and quantitative audio improvement and upgrade over the typical sound bar that one buys in most electronic mass retailing super stores; one will be able to hear and experience a much higher definitive level of audio quality with ones ears as these are professional digital audio reference monitor type speakers made by a professional Behringer branded pro audio company.

Rod, There is both a digital optical and analog (3.5mm) audio output on this model. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products. --Mr. S

I wanted to do the same. bought the headphones because I misunderstood this answer. called tech help. you can't do this if you have a newer model digital TV like I do. there is no audio output on the TV and my TV receiver system is wireless which also doesn't have an audio out. so I have to plug the receiver into my TV headphone outlet which means there is no sound other than what is coming from the headphone. so every time I watch the TV with my husband in bed and he falls asleep, I must get out of bed and plug in my headphones. (My TV has a DIGITAL audio out (USB port) which is NOT compatible with this headphone). also the cable is too short to put the receiver on my nightstand (need to purchase an extension)(still have to get in/out of bed to plug/unplug the audio cable) true in the morning too if you both want to wake up and both watch TV in the morning in bed

As long as you've got an audio output on the TV, this will work. It will definitely improve the sound. The TV we have has terrible audio, but this helped a bunch!!

I haven't used the TV ears, so can't comment on those. We use our Sennheiser on a digital flat screen TV. It connects to the analog audio (headphone) output and works like a charm.

yes, actually I prefer my TV volume will be off otherwise create double sounds, and yes the headphones produce great sounds.I'm satisfied with my purchased! I hope this answer will help!

Only if you have analog (RCA) output jacks on the back panel of your television. My newest TV just has a digital audio out which I think is normal now. Because this stereo 15 band EQ can only process an analog signal, you can not EQ the digital sound from your television with this device. I hope this helps.

I don't believe so, at least not directly. The "audio out" on this set is a proprietary optical audio jack called TOS-LINK (abbreviated version of "Toshiba-Link"). A standard headphone jack (3.5mm) will not fit into, nor produce sound from a TOS-LINK jack. Your only hope, from what I can tell, would be to find an adapter cable with a male end to connect into the television's TOS-LINK outlet and a female end to connect your 3.5mm headphones into. A few quick Google searches didn't produce much of anything worthwhile, so the technology may not exist, but if you find out otherwise, be sure to share!

Yup! My LED TV has a headphone jack. I just use an extension cable with these headphones. The sound quality is decent too.
