These wireless headphones earned The Best rating from the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute because they provided clearest audio and greatest transmission range of any model tested. The Best headphones received CD-quality audio up to 42' away from a television, more than 2X further than lesser models, and up to 230' when tested outdoors. The Best model uses 7.1 channel surround sound and delivered the fullest sound and clearest dialogue, leading panelists to say "It was like I was at the movies" and "outstanding stereo sound." Other headphones produced muffled audio and conversations. Described by panelists as "the most comfortable headphones I've ever worn" and "incredibly soft," The Best model scored highest for comfort, outperforming lesser models that were "hot and stifling" and squeezed too tightly. The Best headphones do not require a line of sight with the transmitter (which plugs into a TV's audio optical output with the included cable) and their rechargeable battery lasts up to 20 hours. 7 1/2" L x 7 1/2" W x 3 3/4" D. (10 3/4 oz.)

Excellent headphones
By Mark

Excellent wireless headphones with great surround sound and no background hiss. For home use, not travel. Perfect for watching TV or listening to music after 11 pm. The neighbours will never complain again!
Works like a Dream!
By janii
from Denver
I use this at night when my husband is sleeping and I want to watch a movie or just regular T.V. I can put the volume as loud as I want and he doesn't know the difference. No more worrying about possibly disturbing him; I can watch in confidence. They also help you hear better if you have a hearing problem. I have some nerve damage which has caused me some hearing loss but these help a lot.Also, you can get up during the movie and go to the kitchen or wherever and still hear what is going on. If you get up during a commercial, you will know when the commercial is over and the movie comes back on.

worth every penny!
By headphones91

This was a breeze to hook up, I did it myself! We had dueling tv sounds, this eliminated that problem. Now I can enjoy stereo sound and drown out the other unwanted sounds from the next room. Great fix!

Great TV headphones for Hubby
By grandma hums
from madison, wi
I no longer need to turn the sound up to where it blasts me out of my chair. Hubby can control his volume while I have the TV set for normal hearing. This is a great product and the sound quality is excellent.

Saved my marriage!
By Prospector23
from Cape Cod, MA
I bought these (for myself) as a Christmas present for my wife. Don't get it? Because I have some hearing loss, she always complains about how loud I want the audio to be when watching programs or movies on TV. Even when I stay up late after she's gone to bed, she complains because our bedroom is right above the media room. These headphones have saved our 36-year marriage! Not only do I no longer get the incessant (and really annoying) "TURN IT DOWN!". As a bonus, the sound is so much better than the soundbar, and the spacial definition is great. Now, she can adjust the soundbar volume to her liking, and I can get all the audio action I was missing before. I don't even need to enable the closed captioning any more! Yes, they're expensive, but worth every penny.
Simply Awesome!!!

What we've been looking for
By K
from Naples, FL
The sound of silence is restored at home while my husband enjoys all the televised sports programming, commentary, talk and music programs his heart desires! Comfortable and with excellent audio for him, the home's ticking clock for me. None of the headphone negatives (ugly wires, sound leakage, discomfort), and every desirable product advantage (rich & clear audio, easy installation, options for listening styles and more) delivered. Perfect!
