Watching a feature film or listening to a concert of your favorite band at a high volume level is difficult when someone is on vacation, there are small children or elderly relatives. Wireless headphones for TV will help out; they work wirelessly and can connect to the TV via Bluetooth or another remote sound transmission method. Those using such a device are not tied to the TV, have freedom of movement around the apartment, and can do any household chores while continuing to listen to TV programs.

Types of wireless headphones for TV

Modern wireless technologies provide the ability to transmit and receive high-quality audio signals in a variety of ways. The wireless headset can be used with TV, PC, smartphone, DVD, CD, PSP, iPod, MP3 and other equipment with an audio output to which a transmitter (transmitter - base) is connected. Headphones can be over-ear, with small and large ones that cover the entire ear, cups with soft pads (ear pads) or inserted into the ear.

By type of carrier frequency and based on this signal, the means are divided into:

• radio headphones – use radio frequency carrier channels with a frequency of up to 800 MHz;
• infrared – the audio signal is transmitted via an infrared channel, which only works within the line of sight of the transmitter and headset;
• bluetooth is a universal system that will allow you to connect to several audio transmission devices and easily switch them;

How to choose wireless headphones for your TV

If you need headphones for watching TV and home use, simple, inexpensive models with Bluetooth or infrared transmission are suitable. To use the headset at home, in transport, or at work, choose options with shortwave FM receiving an audio signal. To watch TV programs, a married couple with a small child will need systems with two headsets. If you like high-quality music sound without extraneous noise, buy full-size headphones that completely cover your ears, with large soft sound-absorbing pads.

Video

Today we’ll talk about one of the modern and trending accessories – wireless headphones. Watching TV often becomes a real problem if most family members require silence, and you want to watch an interesting TV show. Headphones are a great way out of this situation; a wireless gadget will help you not to depend on the length of the cable, which every now and then tends to get tangled under your feet and interferes with your viewing. Next, you will find out what types of this accessory exist, what technical characteristics you should pay attention to and choose the appropriate headphone option specifically for your TV.

Headphone classification

Technical progress does not stand still, and new types of headphone models regularly update the audio equipment market. Today there are 3 main types of acoustic design for this accessory:

• in-ear headphones - they are very rarely found in a wireless version; only a few models of “in-ear” without wire are available for sale, which are inserted directly into the auricle. The most compact type of headphones;
• over-ear headphones are an arched type of accessory; the cups are placed on the ears, not covering the entire surface of the ear, but only the auditory canal. Most of them have a folding design - the size of the arc can be adjusted at your discretion. This type of headphone is perfect for a TV, and the purchase will not put a dent in your pocket - on-ear devices are the cheapest among wireless ones; you can choose a good model from 1,500 rubles;
• monitor headphones - otherwise called full-size, completely cover the surface of the ear. They have the purest sound reproduction due to the huge surface area of ​​the speakers, and are used mainly in recording studios, musicians and DJs. These wireless accessories are undoubtedly suitable for a TV, but you may be confused by the high price of the device - a good model will cost at least 4,000 rubles. If you are willing to pay for quality, then you should choose a monitor device for listening to sound - this is the ideal option.

Important! Monitors, in turn, are divided into 2 types: open and closed. Open wireless headphones allow you, in addition to the reproduced sound, to hear what is happening outside; The closed type of headphones completely immerses you in the sound you are listening to, preventing the penetration of extraneous noise.

Signal transmission method

This is one of the main parameters for choosing a wireless headphone model for your TV. Wireless headphones connect to a sound source using a wireless channel, the type of which determines the sound quality, transmission speed, and most importantly, the permissible range.

Radio signal

The huge range of action - over 50 meters, high-quality sound reproduction immediately attracts attention to this type of channel. However, there is one significant drawback - the radio signal is sensitive to interference.

If you have small children or pets at home who like to “flicker” in front of the TV screen, then you are unlikely to be able to enjoy high-quality listening to TV programs - the signal will be interrupted.

Infrared radiation

For IR radiation, interference is not a problem; this type of channel is very resistant to various types of external influences. But it has a very short range of action - only 10 meters. Therefore, if you choose wireless headphones for a TV with an infrared channel, then make sure that the TV is located no further than 6-7 meters directly from you, this is necessary for transmitting high-quality sound through the device.

Bluetooth channel

Bluetooth technology allows you to use accessories to listen to sound within a radius of 10 meters and slightly more, depending on the specific model. Devices with a Bluetooth transmitter look more massive than other types of these accessories, but external bulkiness does not affect convenience, much less the quality of sound transmission. Interference does not occur when working with this type of wireless channel.

Audio quality

If you are choosing a wireless device for your TV, then you have probably noticed that the characteristics often include sensitivity readings, the unfamiliar word “impedance,” etc. This data is necessary mainly for professionals who select the right type of device for working with complex equipment. But the information will not be superfluous for the average buyer. We will not introduce you to technical formulations; we will only briefly decipher the indicators used by manufacturers.

Sensitivity

This indicator directly affects the sound volume. The smaller the diameter of the cups of the accessory, the less sensitivity, and vice versa. The standard for headphone sensitivity is 100 dB; if it is less, the sound may be too quiet for your hearing.

Impedance

Impedance values ​​indicate the acoustic power of the accessory. Most headphones have an impedance of 32 ohms. For studio work and higher quality and more accurate sound transmission, devices with an impedance value of 16 Ohms are used.

Frequency response

The main characteristic that affects sound quality. The average value of the frequency interval is 18 Hz - 20,000 Hz, accessories with this frequency should be selected for home TV viewing. Professional headphones have a frequency of 5 Hz - 60,000 Hz; the widest frequency range (for some models) is 3 Hz - 120 kHz.

The manufacturer, taking advantage of the consumer’s ignorance, may indicate in the characteristics a more extended range than it actually is.

Therefore, you should test wireless headphones in person before purchasing - for low-frequency models, the sound will be interrupted by hissing, distortion, and “creaking” tones of playback.

1. Convenience - when purchasing, be sure to try on the model you like; the device should sit easily on your head, without squeezing or interfering, but at the same time, fit snugly to your ears and not fall off them;
2. Two pairs for the price of one - some manufacturers offer 2 pairs of accessories for listening to sound. This is very convenient, especially for small living spaces and families with children;
3. Battery life – choose models with a long operating time and high-capacity batteries;
4. Volume adjustment on the cups - to instantly make it quieter/louder, without being distracted from watching TV;
5. Auto-tuning – significantly simplifies working with the device than adjusting ranges from interference with a rotating wheel.

In conclusion, I would like to note that you should choose wireless headphones based on price/quality ratio, pay attention to reviews of common models, and consult with an experienced seller. Happy shopping!

You can now listen to your favorite TV show, music or play on your console in a private atmosphere without disturbing other family members. Wireless headphones are what will help you relax and create your own microenvironment of your mood.

Let's take a closer look at this device, figure out how they differ from each other, what they can do, whether they fit all TVs, and make a brief overview of popular models.

Headphones are a good alternative to speakers. They allow you to watch TV at night, fall asleep to music, and if necessary, they can help drown out any annoying sound, for example, the work of a hammer drill, the screams of children on the street or the loud barking of a neighbor's dog. Blocking out ambient noise and creating a personal audio space is what these devices are for.

Using wireless headphones for TV has a number of undeniable advantages:

• the convenience of wireless communication that does not limit your actions;
• improved intelligibility of dialogue or speaker speech;
• the ability for each viewer to set their own volume preferences on their own device.

Bluetooth headphones for TV do not have wires, so you can easily walk around the house with them; they are perfect for hearing-impaired family members or young fans of video games on the big screen. And connecting a wireless headset is not at all difficult; they can be easily connected even to an old analog TV.

Not all TV models are equipped with built-in Bluetooth capability, so check this option before choosing wireless headphones; you may have to buy headphones with a different technology.

Structurally, they consist of only two elements:

• base station, which connects to the TV via a 3.5 mm analog jack or optical device;
• and the wireless headset itself.

Types of wireless headphones

There are several ways to receive an audio signal:

• via Bluetooth channel;
• using Dect technology for radio signal recognition;
• using infrared;
• or via Wi-Fi.

To make it easier for you to understand the models and choose the best option for yourself, let's get acquainted with each wireless signal transmission technology.

Headphones

Dect technology, or radio transmission, is familiar to everyone, because it is according to this scheme that all radio receivers work. The audio signal is at frequencies in the range of 1880-1900 MHz. Its transmission is carried out quite efficiently and far, at a distance of more than 50 meters, but it has one significant drawback: the sound signal may encounter interference along its path.

If there are a large number of operating devices emitting waves in the room (microwave, repeaters, routers), then the quality of communication may decrease and be accompanied by extraneous noise.

Infrared signal

Wireless headphones using infrared technology receive a signal through an infrared port. Unlike radio signals, they are insensitive to interference, but have a limitation in transmission range. IR headphones can be used no further than 6-7 meters from the TV, that is, within only one room.

Bluetooth

Wireless Bluetooth headset is considered the most popular on the market today. And there is an explanation for this: such devices are easy to connect and configure, they are not susceptible to any interference, and the distance at which the headphones confidently maintain communication can reach up to 15 meters.

Bluetooth technology is used to connect two devices located at a distance from each other and the main purpose is to facilitate the transfer of information between them and eliminate the need for cables. Bluetooth audio sounds much better than ever these days.

WiFi

Well, another successful technology in sound transmission is wi-fi. These headphones are very reliable, comfortable and practical. They receive a clear signal within the range of your Wi-Fi router, but if the substation is not very powerful or the house has a large number of devices operating from a wireless network, then the signal quality may be lost.

If signal reception range is important to you, then it is better to buy radio headphones. And if the priority is the best quality sound, then it would be more correct to give preference to models with a Bluetooth adapter or an infrared port.

What to look for when choosing

Working technology is one parameter, but there are several other important hardware characteristics of wireless headphones. Before choosing a headset model, study the following parameters:

• sensitivity;
• impedance;
• frequency response;
• power supply;
• radius of action;
• additional options.

Headphone sensitivity is an amplitude-frequency characteristic that reflects the sound pressure level. To put it simply, this is a parameter that shows the user at what volume the headphones can reproduce sound. It is measured in decibels (dB) and the higher the value, the louder the transmission can be heard.

With the same signal, different headphones will play differently: if the headset has high sensitivity, then the sound will be loud, and if the sensitivity of the device is low, then the sound transmission will be quiet.

Acoustic impedance is the resistance of the device, that is, a parameter that determines the level of current consumed, and as a result, the final power level. It is measured in ohms (ohms). It is customary to divide audio headsets into two camps:

• low-impedance headphones that have a resistance of up to 100 ohms;
• and high-resistance ones - with a resistance of more than 100 Ohms.

Headphones with a high impedance will require a powerful amplifier, but to transmit sound to low-impedance devices, the power of a classic smartphone will be enough.

Frequency response shows tonal balance. That is, this parameter will tell you about the quality of the reproduced sound. It is indicated in the Hz range, within which the headphones can reproduce all declared frequencies. The wider the amplitude frequency range, the higher the sound quality.

The power source for wireless headphones can be either batteries (AA or AAA) or batteries that can be recharged. The second option, naturally, costs more, but allows you to save on disposable batteries. The choice is up to the user.

Another important parameter is the weight of the headphones. It only affects usability. It is clear that devices that are lightweight will be more comfortable. But, if the model has built-in batteries, then such headphones will be a little heavier.

For headphones, a good fit is especially important; a poor fit will make the signal harsh and unintelligible, so when you buy wireless headphones, pay special attention to models with multiple ear pads.

The range was described in the technology section. It cannot be said that the best remote headphones are those in which you can walk around the entire apartment, although this is indeed very convenient. If you choose a model for a TV, then an indicator of 5-10 meters will be quite enough, because you need to listen and watch the broadcast at the same time.

But as for additional options, you should pay special attention to them, since among them you can find very useful functions:

• ability to switch to wired transmission;
• addition of a microphone headset;
• special noise reduction functions;
• possibility of remote channel selection;
• volume control;
• standalone player;
• NFC compatibility, etc.

Sennheiser RS ​​120 II: radio headphones with a stylish stand

Sennheiser knows how to create devices with attractive designs. In the case of the RS 120 II (and indeed the first generation of these headphones), the engineers decided to provide the docking station with an elegant metal stand, which made it very beautiful. The headphones themselves cause less delight, but they cannot be called vile either. As you may have guessed, this uses a radio signal emitted by a transmitter. The weight of the headphones does not exceed 230 g - for a wireless model this is an unimaginably low parameter. But the headphones are open, so you will not be 100% protected from external noise. The device is powered by batteries or AAA batteries.

Advantages:

• A powerful radio channel is used;
• Docking station with an elegant stand;
• Operating time can reach 20 hours;
• Good sound in movies and TV shows.

Flaws:

• Sensitivity may not seem high enough;
• Sometimes they can catch interference from other equipment;
• No Bluetooth;
• When you turn the volume control, a cracking sound occurs;
• Open ear pads do not block out external noise.
