Wireless earphones partially deaf

sinjin_smythe

Hi,

Appreciate if you might be able to help. We have a Panasonic tx50ex700b television that we recently bought. The audio output is not fixed so audio can only be output through speaker or headphone (not both). My father is partially deaf so I'm hoping to see what we can do. Could you advise if you provider transmitters to output both from speaker and headphone? Appreciate any help at all. We are also looking for headphones.

Thanks

Hi Weedhead,

many thanks for your email and apologies for the delay getting back to you - this is an issue that we are seeing almost daily now  

The issue is actually getting an audio output from most modern TV's that does not cut the speakers - there are very few 'transmitters' as you say that will output from both headphone and speaker.

However one option ( albeit a little expensive) is to use the optical output to drive wireless headphones - something like the Sennheiser RS195 will give you a transmitter base with optical input and really super sound quality:

Hopefully this is a solution that will allow the whole family to enjoy TV again!

Hi John,

Thanks again for the reply. I believe the television also needs to have an audio out connection with an adaptor on the the jack for the headphones also required (this is just from a little research). Have you had people confirm these headphones work fine with output to both speaker and headphone simultaneously? If so I would be interested in maybe getting those headphones. I really just want to be sure that these will work.

Thanks Again for your help!

Hi Eoin,

if you use a pair of headphones like the RS195 as recommended above you wont need any adaptors or aftermarket 'workarounds' the headphone transmitter plugs into the optical output on the TV and leaves the TV's own speakers unaffected- if you check out Sennheiser's
own microsite for the RS195 you will see they are specifically aimed at exactly what you are looking for:

They even come complete with the optical cable included!

Thanks again and keep us posted,
