About Wireless TV Headphones

Wireless TV headphones have been around for a few years. Many are the result of Bluetooth technology which has allowed for people to be able to enjoy electronics in newer and more unique ways than ever before. Before, you had no choice but to watch your great surround sound movie when no one else was home, or at a low volume, which of course sacrificed the sound quality. But with the creation of these new wireless TV headphones, many people are able to rejoice in their ability to have the best of both worlds.

To give you a better idea of the different options there are in the world of wireless TV headphones, we will look at a variety of brands and their features.

Sennheiser RS130 Wireless RF Binaural Headphone System

Sennheiser is the best name in microphone technology having been in business for over a half a century. In a short time, they expanded their work to include infrared sound transmission, active noise-cancellation and headphone transducer technology. For this reason, it is no surprise that they have come up with headphones that are popular for wireless use.

The RS130 Wireless RF Headphones are said to be perfect for whether you want to connect them to your hi-fi or TV. You can have the built-in surround sound system take your movie watching to new heights while moving around the house, free to answer a phone or tidy up. The headphones come with a transmitter that has a metal stand for storing and recharging them when you're not enjoying your favorite movie. All of this comes at a relatively decent price - about $110 - not bad!

Bebe Sounds TV Listener

The Bebe Sounds TV Listener is not as well known as some of the other brands you will find on this list, however, they are said to work rather well for their price, which falls in the $30-$40 price range. They are wireless infrared headphones that are meant to work with any TV video or audio source. If you have a family member who is hearing impaired, you can get these as a great gift - this way they won't have to turn the TV up sky high to hear their favorite programming (and they can even adjust the volume without moving by simply using the controls right on the headset). And the fact that they're wireless allows for great mobility, allowing you or your family member to move away from the TV for up to 33 ft.

Sony MDR-IF540RK

These wireless TV headphones are quite popular for those wanting to get a nice infrared wireless headphone system. According to Sony, these headphones are "designed for home enjoyment monitoring of, and simple connection, to televisions, stereo tuners, and DC or minidisk components" - that's quite a bit! The headset comes equipped with a transmitter that contains multiple LED IR diodes and can function as a battery charger. In addition, there is an automatic on/off function to help you conserve your battery life.

Other features that come with these wireless TV headphones include a vibration function audio experience enhancer, level controls right on the headset, a mute function that works to protect the drives from noise when there is no audio signal present and a self-adjusting headband that relieves you of the extra work. In addition, this Sony headset comes equipped with 30 mm drivers and PET low-mass diaphragms. While you may not know exactly what this means, you can count on a result of extended low- and high-end frequency reproduction - very nice! And to top it all off, you have a ton of freedom with up to a 24-ft transmission range. But what's better than all of this is the price. For one of these great headsets, you're looking to pay around $60 - now that's a deal!

Brookstone Sony Infra-Red TV Listening Headphones

Brookstone Sony Infra-Red TV Listening Headphones were created like the others as a way to create harmony within your home - a muted television can go a long way to create peace among family members. This high-performance wireless headset has an infrared transmitter that works well with and easily connects to your TV, DVD player, VCR and even your stereo system. They are very lightweight with an open-air design that is said to produce a full sound with deep bass; and you can enjoy that great quality sound with crystal-clear reception for up to 23 feet. In addition to the other features that come with this popular headset is the impressive 35-hour rechargeable NiHM battery and charging cradle. But don't expect to find these at your local electronics store - they're only available in the Sony catalog or online. I'd say they're worth the effort to find however at a very reasonable $59 price tag!

Sennheiser SET 250 Wireless Mono Television Stethoset Headphones with Transmitter

Yes, I know - that is a very long name, and for such a long name there should at least be a long list of great features to go along with it, right? Well, while I don't know how long the list will be, I don't think you'll be disappointed with the features. This particular headset was created for those in need of assistive listening, allowing them to have an optimal television-watching experience without having to skyrocket the volume. These headphones have level, balance and low frequency controls right on it, in addition to hearing instrument accessories to enhance your listening experience. They come equipped with a transmitter/base charger and a 2-battery capacity, but above all is the relatively inexpensive price of $130 - now that's pretty reasonable!

When you're ready to get out there to find your wireless TV headphones, you'll likely be pleasantly surprised at not only how well they sound, but how reasonably priced they are. There is nothing better than being able to add great sound quality to your listening experience, and now by getting a pair of wireless TV headphones, you'll be able to add freedom and mobility to your growing list of perks.
