Whether you have trouble hearing TV dialogue or just want to keep watching your favorite show without keeping everyone in your house awake, a good set of wireless TV headphones is a great option. You can get over-ear or in-ear models. Some even offer simulated surround sound for a more immersive viewing experience.
Wireless TV headphones can aid in your perception of voices. Some models have advanced surround sound processing, which can help isolate voices and make them clearer in the mix. Others have modes can compensate for hearing loss and boost common speech frequencies to make dialogue more intelligible.
Most models have some form of volume adjustment available right on the earcups. Some also include controls for different listening modes, bass boost, and left/right channel balance.
Most wireless TV headphones have either an analog 3.5mm connection or an optical digital connection (or both). The good news is that most TV headsets come with the cables you’ll need to make those connections.
Wireless TV headphones can last anywhere from 12 to 20 hours on a single charge (depending on the model) before they need to go back on their charging cradle.
Wireless TV headphone systems come in two parts: a transmitter and the headphones. The transmitter gets hooked up to your TV. Once it's connected, go into your TV’s settings and pick the right audio output (optical or 3.5mm, often listed as "headphones" or "headphone output"). The transmitter then takes the signal from your TV and sends it to the headphones.
