my 48 " tv does not have a 1/8" or 1/4" stereo headphone jack.

I need about 18 feet of cord.

under $100.00 would be great

I can find $29.00 jobs on Amazon but with plugs.

or I can see $65.00 - $165.00 wireless.

any attention you choose to give this will be appreciated,

not for gaming , just tv watching

What does your TV have in terms of audio output terminals?

will check to make sure , when I get home,
I think Phono females

Just get an adapter L and R RCA male phono plugs to 1/8" stereo phone jack.

You can get adapters to go from the RCA phono plugs to a female 3.5mm, or 1/8”, whatever it is.

Guess I’m a little slow sjtill beat me to it.

Until I got hearing aids and went Bluetooth, I used the linked headphones for everything. Easy-peasy.

I have some old RCA wireless I've used for years. Have you looked into wireless?

I have an old pair of these laying around. Shoot me an email, bendable. I'll ship them to you

Will come with everything but the manual, and you can get that online here: https://images-na.ssl-images-a...es/I/91r1DSdWOVL.pdf

Or, if you're dead-set on using wired headphones, I have a 6 foot RCA stereo male to 1/8" headphone female cord, and a 12 foot 1/8" headphone extension cord.

That'll get you 18 feet of cord, and convert from your TV's pair of white/red RCA audio outputs to a standard 1/8" wired headphone jack.

You're welcome to the 18 feet of wired headphone cables, the wireless headphone setup, or both.

Sennheiser Wireless

That is the exact set I have been using for years.

I have a wireless headphone set for the tv and I use it literally all the time. It has an analog connector and also an optical connector. Both connections work well.

The range of this thing is amazing. I can walk down to my basement and hear everything crystal clear. If you are interested...here is a link Amazon

Thank you Rogue,
For the offer,
I will mull the whole deal over for a bit , and maybe contact you later.

does anyone know why these headphones require a battery ?
or where they go ?

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IT0IHOY/ref

Ive watched a dozen youtubes and seen a half dozen websites,
none of them addressed a battery .

That's a mistake in Amazon's product listing. If you read the reviews and Q&As, it's repeatedly stated that those wired headphones don't actually need batteries.

Which makes sense, because wired headphones typically don't require batteries.

In wireless headphones with batteries, they're usually in the earpieces, accessible by either removing the ear cups or through a battery hatch on the outside.

got it , I was looking in the wrong place

Those appear to be standard wired headphones, so no battery required. And those are way overkill for listening to the TV. If you do use a wired set, almost any of the cheapest you can find will be sufficient.

I haven't done what you want to do in a long time, but if you want to have the volume off on the TV itself, you are probably going to need a wireless set, as it will have a volume control. You may be able to turn off the TV's internal speaker through a menu setting, but I think the RCA (phono) jacks that you would use for audio out are controlled by the TV's volume control. Thus for you to turn the volume up on a wired headphone set you would have to turn the volume up on the TV. Again, you may be able to turn off the internal speakers.

Are you able to use these and the TV volume (ie, you have headphones set at a volume you can hear while others in the room aren't getting bleeding ears from the volume level)?

Yes, you can control your Tv volume and headset volume separately.
I have this exact headset.

Pulling this back up...

How do these connect to a TV which does not xmit Bluetooth?

Disregard; didn't read.

I've decided against there headphone purchase,

After talking with my downstairs neighbor lady,

Turns out that she never heard my tv , so it's not an issue for her.

Since getting The Circle Channel on broadcast tv,

I've noticed my tv volume getting all the way up to #7


But thanks folks
