Wireless headphones for TV

[JesusHaley]

Well I have Philips wireless headphones with infrared transmission. This gadget puts less tress on my ears and the overall sound quality is quite good. I enjoy it while watching TV and my preferred programs.

I also have the 120's and like them very much. In addition I have the model TR-100 on my computer and one day I was fooling around and found I can get either the TV or computer by simply tuning in the frequency on the headset. So now if I am on the computer and see something on TV that I want to hear, I just switch frequencies on the headset.

Are you sure TR-100 is the correct model number? I can't find any mention of it on the Sennheiser site...

Just in case anyone else is interested in this system:

The Sennheiser SET840-S is a radio-frequency system I picked up on Amazon. A base unit connects to your TV and transmits to a lightweight receiver you wear hanging from a lanyard around your neck, or you can just drop it in your shirt pocket, or do both simultaneously. You can plug your own headphones or ear buds into it like you would an iPod. However, if you have manually activated t-coils in your hearing aids, you can wear a lanyard-like neckloop instead and you won't need any headgear because it transmits wirelessly to your aids.

I've had my Sennheiser SET840-S system for more than three weeks now and I use it with light headphones several hours a day. (One day when we were snowed in I used it for at least eight hours.)

I like the fact that I can use my own headphones with it; currently I'm using a pair of five-dollar Panasonic stereo headphones and they work great—very clear, clean sound. I never miss a word spoken by an adult actor of either gender anymore. (Little-kid actors I find more difficult, but I always have even when I heard well.) I haven't had to ask my wife "Whadshesay?" even once since I've had this system, even though—to my wife's great relief—the TV now runs at less than half its former volume. And movies and music stations all come through in great stereo. Beautiful.

Also, I have several times now activated the automatic t-coils in my Bernafon Veras 9CP HAs with small pieces of magnetic tape, and that has reinforced my decision to have my audiologist set up my HAs so they have a manually-activated t-coil that will work directly with my Sennheiser system. The sound is not in stereo though the t-coils, but it is very clear and when having friends or family over for a movie or a ball game I'd much rather not be wearing headphones all evening. The system's receiver and neckloop can disappear under my shirt, if I want.

My sole regret in purchasing this system is that I didn't buy it, or something like it, years ago.
