Have you had a good experience with wireless headphones for TV etc?
ByWhat brand and/or model would you recommend? Any other suggestions? Thanks!
Yeah, my experience was pretty good. We needed wireless headphones so that I could watch TV while my wife was trying to sleep, and vice-versa. I found some on sale at our local supermarket — I think they cost about 25 bucks. Sorry I don’t know the brand offhand, but I’m sure it’s not a well known company. If you would like, I can look it up when I get home.
Anyhow, the headphones did the job just fine. I probably wouldn’t use them to listen to an opera, but for watching old movies, they’re more than adequate. If I want to go out for a sandwich, I can keep the headphones on, and I continue to hear the sound in the next room. They were easy to install and set up.
My one quibble is that both the headphones and the transmitter require batteries. That seems wasteful to me. I don’t know why the transmitter can’t run on A/C, and maybe with some brands it does.
Also, when you flick a switch on the headphones, you receive FM radio transmission. I’ve rarely used them for that purpose, though.

No.. I purchased some headphones for the TV in my room because I didn’t want to disturb my parents and I found that they were pretty crappy. Try keeping the volume as low as it can go, that’s the best use I got out of them.b
Go buy some Sennheiser RS 110… they run about 50 bucks and they are the best buy for the price. Stay away from Sony MDR’s
