Choosing Wireless TV Headphones

It's pretty obvious why someone would want wireless TV headphones. No one wants to be attached to their television with wires, so the choice of wireless over wired headphones is a no brainer as long as you're not an audiophile. If you are, and if you do notice every little sound discrepancy, then wireless is simply not for you, and you need a good wired set of headphones.

Convenience Of Wireless Headphones For TV

If you're of the normal type who doesn't really discern between, say, stock speakers on a car and aftermarket in sound quality alone, then wireless TV headphones are a good choice. There may be times when, although they're sharing a room with the television, someone in the home doesn't want to hear the TV. This is when a good wireless TV headphone set comes in really handy since the only one who will be able to hear the TV is the one watching it. I know that I enjoy having my wife in the same room as me, but sometimes I need to concentrate on working and find that the television is distracting. Since it's behind me, I don't really see it, but I can hear it. A set of wireless headphones for TV would be ideal in this situation.

A Wireless TV Headphone Set May Increase Audio Quality

Also, a good set of wireless headphones for TV will direct and optimize the sound for one person as opposed to many. Even those who aren't audiophiles will hear a difference. Stereo is much more...stereo, and there's various sounds that you simply missed before that will come in loud and clear. A lot of science goes in to optimizing speakers, so it stands to reason that if there's only one person listening, it makes a lot of sense to have speakers that are pointed at that one person and intended only for that one person. Your television was designed to produce sound that was meant to be heard by many people - a whole room full if necessary. As opposed to wireless TV headphones, certain sacrifices would've been made to broaden the range of the speakers much further than the one sitting right in front. This may or may not negate the impact that simply being wireless can have on audio quality.

Types Of Wireless TV Headphones

There are really two, but sort of three different types of wireless headphones. There's infrared, RF (radio frequency), and Bluetooth. Bluetooth is actually RF on a very limited scale, which is good for reducing interference both to and from the Bluetooth device, but obviously bad for range. Infrared operates off a beam of light that travels directly from the transmitter, which would be plugged into the television's headphone jack (or possibly component jacks), to a receiver that sits on the headset. RF works similar to a cordless phone and shares that same range, which brings both the advantages of extended usability and the disadvantages of vastly increased interference.

Comparing Types Of Wireless Headphones For TV

Odds are pretty good that anything radio, RF wireless TV headphone sets not excluded, will pick up something else radio in today's technologically active world. It could be anything from the electromagnetic field that some equipment puts out on its own to your neighbor's conversation on their cordless phone, but you can bet that something will cause RF to be the least clear of the group of choices here. However, it's also the only type that will allow you to walk around the full range of your home and never lose connection. Infrared will likely give you the best sound quality, but cannot be used outdoors and the receiver must remain within line of sight of the transmitter at all times.
