Hi Marilyn, Sony Headphones, TV Speakers, or Homet Theater system speakers works at the same time. -Vincent

Yes, you can still have the TV volume separate, if you use the audio out connections on the back to connect the headphones. Great for use when someone has need for higher volume then rest of viewers.

I believe you can. I have a slightly different model (not infra red--I'm able to leave the area and still hear thru the headphones). Others watching television with me can use the customary volume setup that exists with the tv. Hope this helps!

Actually, just buying a decent pair of headphones would be a better solution. TV ears are meant for helping the hard-of-hearing when others are also watching the TV. Just plug in headphones, and this should turn the speakers off, and you'll get a much better quality of sound out of the headphones than the TV ears. Also, headphones are much cheaper than TV ears.

You can but those are not the best headphones for watching TV. They were made for studio mixing. You'll get too much bass frequencies. Not the sound quality you want for that purpose (Hi-Fi).

Yes, all others can hear the TV at regular volume. Headset works by line of sight so anything between headphones and transmitter base will block sound to headphones. Headphones have their own volume. They are fantastic.

I have the same question as the first 3people. In my case I can no longer watch tv with others unless I use subtitles because I need the tv so loud to hear it. I have great plug in headphones for when I am alone, but if I want to enhance the volume while others watch at a lower volume I want a wireless set. Is there such a thing? I have tried TV Ears but they they no longer work, they seem short lived.

Yes, even when ur using the headphones u can still control the tv volume. This headphone allows you to have idependent volumes controls.

Yes. I have it hooked to my TV. Lower the TV volume and the output is lower. Your headphones may also have a volume control and then you can use either one or both to increase or decrease the volume.

Most if not all TVs made in the last decade or so do not have headphone outputs (like on a stereo reciever which will mute the speakers). Instead they have line outputs which you would use with this unit and are independant of the speakers. You can still mute the speakers while listening to the headphones but it's not automatic: you just need to hit the mute button on your TV remote.

There is a portion (where you keep the headphones when not in use), that attaches directly to the television, so headphones will only pick up signal from that TV.

As long as your tv has a normal headphone jack, they should. Although if you're hoping for a full audio experience, you may be disappointed. You'll lose a lot of bass for movies and things, but it's great if you want to watch something but still be able to hear the people around you.

Yes there is. In the back of the tv there is an "audio out" where you connect your headphones. Press the mute button on your remote control so others cannot hear and you have headphone use.

I'm not sure I understand the question, but if you are wearing the sound amplifier, there is no need to mute the tv if someone else is watching. Just turn down the sound to a reasonable level for their comfort and you will hear ok through the amplifier. Hope this helps.

As long as your Tv has an audio output terminal you can use these headphones. Or the audio output from your cable box if you have one of those. The headphones will receive the signal from the transmitter.

Yes, you can. I use wireless earbuds and watch movies with Netflix and Internet radio without disturbing anyone.

Yes you can listen to music while doing any of those things. The music would cut off if you started to watch a video of course, the sound being replaced with that of the video. :)

I guess if your tv has a bluetooth or a miniplug output for sound it will act the same as headphones probably disabling the tv speakers
