It's a difficult sound to describe but "annoying" pretty much covers it.I don't recommend this system. Well, it kinda works, but unless you are sitting DIRECTLY in line with the receiver it cuts out. That way you can sit or lay however you want and not have static fluttering in your ear. If your TV has a headphone jack, I recommend you just get a 25' extender cord for $10 and plug in a set of good headphones. Not only that, but if you move the slightest bid it starts getting staticky and annoying. Even when you find the perfect spot, if the volume isn't up high enough to drown out the static then you will hear the annoying, vibrating static.
So, if you are buying these headphones to use on exercise equipment, I would suggest you keep looking. If I walked away from the treadmill the static went away and the TV sound was clear again. In fact, in the background I could faintly hear a local spanish radio station.
I hooked it up, and turned it on. Very clear. I bought this product for my wife to use on the treadmill in the mornings so she could watch TV while she exercised and not wake up the whole house.
Then I turned the treadmill on and the static was so loud the headphones are unusable. Don't make the same mistake I did. It sounded pretty good.
Plenty of volume.
I went with an LR unit and it works beautifully. The reason I did not like this item is because it doesn't work with a Flat Screen Plasma TV. I hope this helps It arrived on time and quality of the item was fine but couldn't use it with my TV so I returned it. To much interference and low sound quality. Also had to hold head a certain way in order to get any meaningful sound out of it.
3) And be prepared to spend your life savings on batteries. I have perfect hearing, but with these headphones, I could hear everything that the room noise and outside traffic usually drown out. It is only hard, flat plastic covered with a very thin (1/8") piece of foam next to your ear. But after one month, I returned them because 1) they are not at all comfortable.
I bought these headphones so I could watch TV and movies at night. I was able to get only about 20 hours on one set of batteries. 2) You have to sit still and not turn your head very often; if you use them in bed, keep the covers and pillow out of the way. I have a fairly new TV, and could have plugged directly into the headphone jack on the side, but instead used the splitter and plugged into the "audio out" at the back of the set.
The ear piece is not molded to fit the ear and has no foam padding. But the sound is really very good with a newer TV. This provided really excellent sound. And the price was right.
All without much success. Perhaps the batteries, which are almost brand new, need replacing. When I first started using the TV listener, it worked reasonably well but did have a pronounced swishing sound in the background. I still use it in a pinch, but only when necessary. Overall, I am not happy. After a few weeks, however, I could hear more static than sound. I have tested the cable connections to make sure they were tight, have fiddled with the relative volume adjustments on the headsets and TV, and tried repositioning the transmitter.
