Wireless headphones for plugging into a TV

[nofam]

A friend has asked me about getting some wireless headphones for her husband to use when watching TV - he's hard of hearing and tends to crank the sound so much it drives everyone else out of the room.

Her TV is a new (few months old) plasma with a 3.5mm headphone jack.

Can anyone recommend some good, reasonably-priced wireless phones? Circum-aural would probably be best, to help seal out exterior noise.

TIA

HN and/or that other Company with a similar name sells some for about $60

They are very good.

Bluetooth are a nono because of the time lag.... as I found out to my expense!

You'll need TV headphones; wireless ones are obviously only intended for radios.

I bought a set of new Sennheiser (sp?) wireless headphones on TradeMe. They are brilliant.

Q. will the headphones kill the sound on the tv when plugged in?

[kenj]

Yes... that is why it it best to get a set of IR headphones which can work from the audio out RCA plugs.

HN had some cheap Philips ones last week for around $60

No, not with my Sennheiser's, but they are connected through the amplifier.

SWMBO can listen to the TV speakers or mute them as she requires, but whatever she does, I can listen on my own, or crank up the volume in my own little world. My ears are a bit stuffed from years of snorkel and scuba diving, so sometimes I need the volume up a bit more than she does, and this way we have the best of both worlds. The older I get, the more difficulty I have in "hearing" what Americans are saying when they pretend to speak English. I find a bit more volume helps then too.

just thought to throw this in, tvs also have two rca plugs on them for sound out.
