Home audio & video: Want to use headphones with TV, but TV has no headphone jack
Want to use headphones with TV, but TV has no headphone jack
by Starfish564 - 8/10/07 8:40 AMI'm not sure if there is even a solution to this, but thought I'd ask anyway. I have a nice TV that I like alot (not an HD or anything fancy, just a normal 19inch). The problem is, I would like to be able to use headphones with it but there is no headphone jack on the TV. Does anyone know if there is some sort of adapter I could buy for this? Or am I out of luck?
Thanks!
J.B.
MR STARFISH SO SORRY

You dont know what you are missing Just add a cable or satellite hi-def system and add the hi-def package and you will be blown away with picture quality and programming thats out of this world stewee
You could try this adapter cable

A BIG thank you to C 519! :)

I am thrilled. Paying $5.99 on Amazon sure beats having to get a new TV. Thank you for taking the time to post that info. You're awesome!
Sincerely,

Thank you

A follow on question --
by bud909 - 8/24/08 4:47 PM In reply to: c519 is right! by songzz12I'm sure you are right == using the audio out jacks on the set. But do you know of a way, using this method, that will cut the external TV audio, so that only the headphone audio comes thru? I suspect this is a bigger problem, but maybe not.
Thanks.

This will require someone who knows what he/she is doing.

TV has no headphone jack? Check this out
by cnt21 - 9/3/08 7:12 PM In reply to: A BIG thank you to C 519! :) by Starfish564TVears is an interesting product you should scope out. They sell an adapter, but also sell TVears(headphone product) which is an interesting item I plan to consider since I only use headphones on my tv since I live in an apartment and the only way to hear the tv and have privacy in ths loud place is to use headphones.
Update on Tvears
by cnt21 - 9/3/08 7:28 PM In reply to: TV has no headphone jack? Check this out by cnt21I would recommend the regular inexpensive adapter. Tvears adapter is $20. and it might only be made for their Tvear headset, I'm not sure. I plan on buying Tvears if it is what I think it is.
