Hi everyone, I've recently found the need for some wireless headphones to plug into my tv so that i can watch it without disturbing others who are sleeping....I'm a night owl. I've been out of the tv and audio scene for several years and honestly, I don't know what to look for. And I specifically don't know how they would connect to the tv we have. It's a fairly large flat screen that was bought at Best Buy in 2008: the brand is Dynex. I see lots of rca jacks and other inputs and outputs...but I need to know how to hook a set up so I can know what to look for when I buy them. I basically just need to get up to speed. Oh, and I'll only be using these headphones to watch tv, not for gaming.

If you have skills in this area, any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Does it have to be wireless? It'll probably be on the very crowded 2.4 GHz band and probably not have that great of signal strength, as the headphones would probably be designed for close-range PC usage, not long-range TV usage. All this leads to disrupted, dropped, and staticy audio.

I just got the model number off the back of the TV and found this link to it on the Dynex homepage: I just got the model number off the back of the TV and found this link to it on the Dynex homepage: http://www.dynexproducts.com/products/televisions/DX-LCD32.html I thought it might help."]This is the tv from the manufacturer's website[/url]

I thought it might help.

I guess I could use corded, but the cord would have to be about 12 feet long.

The TV itself doesn't matter, as long as it has a 3.5mm headphone jack. Most HDTVs have one on the side somewhere.

I have a pair of Sennheisers that work really well...even from 30 feet away in the city. There is a little bit of static, but it's not bad. The ones I have use L/R (red/white or red/black, typically) RCA jacks instead of a headphone jack. They can plug into a headphone jack with an adapter cable, though. Most that I've seen consist of a base unit that gets plugged into the audio source and an electrical outlet. The base unit on mine doubles as a charging cradle.

Awesome. Thanks for the help. So if I plug a pair into the stereo mini port, or the rca jacks does it automatically mute the actual tv speakers. And if so do they all come with an inline volume so you can control it with your hand?

Mine do not automatically mute the input source, which unfortunately is how it has to be unless you want to have to unplug them after every use. If you don't mind that, many TVs can detect headphones being plugged in and automatically mute the TV's built-in speakers. I'd personally just use the RCA line-out on the TV and just mute the built-in speakers when I'm using the headphones. Mine have volume and balance knobs on them...I think this is the case for most models.
