I am laughing because, I, too, wanted to know if this television has a headphone jack. I went to the specs page indicated above by Vee and could not interpret the technological jargon enough to know if, yes, indeed, it has such a jack! *still laughing* Maybe some kind soul could go to that url for both Marina Moonlight and myself to tell us the 'real' answer. Thanks, Vee, for the link :-)))

Pen Name- Wow! Thanks for all the research. I had determined that you couldn't use headphones with this TV because when I zoomed on the back panel, there was no headphone jack. There is on Samsungs. I didn't know about digital headphones working on the audio output socket.Now I'm really excited, because the LG is the clear choice over the Samsung- better picture, better audio (esp. if you have trouble hearing speech, like me), better reliability, closed captioning, which I don't think the Samsung has, and $100 cheaper!Keep me posted what you find out at the store.

"Audio-in is used to send audio from the computer to the tv, it's an input not an output." I kind of figured that out from your other post. Tell your husband not knowing info doesn't equal confusion. We just don't know. Not everyone is is versed in the ways of audio/video equipment. But thanks anyway for his explanation.This is what I copied from the manual, ""AUDIO IN (RGB/DVI)1/8" (0.32 cm) headphone jack for analog PCaudio input." I think the words "headphone jack" threw me off.Was just trying to help...lol.

No problem Pen Name. Yeah, through all that techno babble, it still isn't clear whether it has a headphone jack. How I knew it might have one is when I downloaded the pdf manual for this TV from the website. In the manual it shows the back connections.It says it has a "AUDIO IN (RGB/DVI)1/8" (0.32 cm) headphone jack for analog PCaudio input."I'm not sure if that's what you all are looking for.

Thanks, Vee. My husband looked at the pdf manual yesterday afternoon and wrote this from work: "This is their page, and on the `support` tab you can see the entire manual in pdf form. I glanced at it, it does not have a headphone socket, but it has a digital audio output socket. You can get digital audio headphones for about $25-30.?"So I think we are getting somewhere now. We are going to look at the actual television at a local store, talk with the salespeople, then probably come back to purchase from Amazon, which has the lowest price.My husband is not an electronics expert, so going to see for ourselves will be the best confirmation, yet.

If your tv is bluetooth enabled for wireless listening, then yes. The audio cable that comes with the headphones is 3.5 feet long, so probably too short. You could buy a longer extension cable, but I don't know the amount of noise loss over longer distances.

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.

Hello! As long as your TV has bluetooth functionality, the headphones will work with your TV. Thank you!

I forget but I will say this about sound bars.1. Get one that can also do Bluetooth. This was a huge bonus suprise when my kids realized they could pair thier phones and use the soundbar as a full basement sound system2. I don't know if these exist in soundbars but if you find one with audio OUT that would be a plus. This tv only has one audio out... So If you have a soundbar you cannot attach headphones to TV for late night viewing

If the TV has a headphone output jack, any headphone can be used. You use the volume adjuster on the TV remote

If your TV has a headphone jack, you can. If it is a very old TV, you may need an adapter. The headphones should fit the headphone jack in the TV without a problem.

You will need to have some kind of an audio out. Our TV only has a headphone jack. I hooked that up as my audio out. It works great! If you have one of those, you are in business. This is a great product. I hope you get it working.

There is no headphone jack. I also consulted the user guide, and I don't see any way to use headphones with this TV.

There should be a stereo audio jack on the tv for headphones connection. Just use it for the cable to the speaker unit. If it doesn't have a speaker jack then there should be some female rca audio output jacks on the back of the tv. If it doesn't have either of these then the only solution would be to connect wires to the tv speakers and run them to rca female connectors.

They might help. You would still have to plug the headphones into the tv. The cord might not reach. Also, once you plug into the audio jack, no one else will be able to hear anything. If you have a newer model tv, I have to believe there are other products that would work.

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.

I use them for TV sometimes...my TV audio is connected to my surround sound amp, which has a headphone jack. I don't get "surround sound" through the headphones, but I do get wonderful, rich stereo at a nice volume without disturbing family or neighbors. The long cord allows me to sit on my couch while watching. So, yes, they do.

If you are wanting to use to headphones for your Tv, you can ....just follow directions for installation..OR you can use them with a Sterio that has your Tv running thru it when in the aux mode......this option lets OTHERS hear the Tv with the volume control on the Tv while you are hearing it thru the headphones that are hooked up to the sterio

Only if you have an infrared transmitter for your tv that's compatible with these. I've never seen a tv with one built in but there are aftermarket solutions that you could plug in to your tv. Search Amazon for infrared transmitter and a few options that include headphones pop up. Good luck.

some of the newer TV's have an audio setup option that allows both internal and external speakers to be used at the same time. that would allow you to use use headphone and provide the speakers for your wife. This would require however that you use the AV connection on the TV for the headphone receiver. If you use the headphone plug on TV I think you will find that it will shut off any internal or external sound except through the headphone unit. I hope this ifrmation will help you.

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.
