yes they work OK. I have a simple RF based one. I have seen IR systems also but that requires that you stay in the room! :-(

Whats IF and IR?

IR stands for Infra Red which requires you stay in the same room. I believe the headphones have to be able to see the transmitting unit.
RF stands for Radio Frequency and supposedly you're able to leave the room and the headphones still work.
I've tried a couple of wireless headsets and haven't been too happy with them.
Right now, I'm using an AR 900Mhz RF unit. My biggest complaint with the two I've had, is that the tuning control on the headsets are very touchy. Try to fine tune just a little bit and you lose the signal.

Would the touchy tuning apply to TV or music or both? I'd be using them for TV only.

TV is what I'm using them for. The tuning on the headsets on both of them were very touchy. My hearing isn't the best anymore. I use them mainly when a movie isn't Closed Captioned.

I spect they work best for someone with perfect hearing. Mine isn't all that bad yet. I'll give em a try. Thankyou gentlemen.

My TV only has a cable jack on the back, Can I still hook up wireless headphones?

Another question....if I am using the wireless headset does the sound still come out of the TV speakers for others in the room???

We are using RF ones -I think they are Blaupunkt. We have two pairs. One for the living room when hubby wants to watch late night movies (esp sci fi) without annoying everyone, and one for a back bedroom. In the LR, we have our sound routed through an amplifier and speakers, so we just leave the amplifier off to keep the sound out of the room. In the bedroom the sound runs through the TV (no separate speakers) so we have to use the menu function to turn off the sound to the TV's internal speakers.

No, you won't be able to. The wireless headphones need an audio signal coming from somewhere. Either a headphone or audio out jack on the TV itself, or from the Home Theatre receiver if it's connected to one of those. Either way, you need somewhere to plug it in as an audio device.

Think of it as a normal pair of headphones. You'd need somewhere to plug in normal headphones too! This is what you do, plug the base station in wherever you'd plug regular headphones in.

I am using the TV Listner. It is IR based and you can add unlimited headset. I have 4 four each member in the house. Works great and exceptionally clear.

We have two sets of RF Sonys. In the LR,we have the TV audio hooked up to a stereo system, so all you need to do when using the headphones to keep from bothereing everyone else, is keep the stereo turned off. In the MBR, we have to change the settings on the TV through setup to temporarily turn off the speakers in order to use the headphones w/o the sound being heard by everyone.
