Best Wireless Headphones for TV

In terms of design, the model in question is the closed-back, around-ear type of headphones. They're as comfortable as the next closed headphones to wear. And, as it usually is the case, the product is exceptionally good at reducing ambient noise. This way, you will be able to disregard the environment, be it noisy neighbors or your roommate playing Call of Duty in the next room, and immerse yourself in the entertainment.

Having said all of that, we would say that the best part about this device is its effective range. Capable of extending up to 328 feet, the model puts the "wireless" into the "wireless headphones". Some might say that this sort of range is unnecessary. But we would retort that argument by saying that there's no such thing as too high of a signal range and you could always find some use for it. 

Among other things, this range makes the device perfect not just for watching TV in bed but also roaming around the house without losing the audio signal.

Of course, these headphones for TV aren't without their flaws. If we had to point out one, that would have to be the 18-hour battery life. It's not that much of a difference compared to your standard ~20 hours of battery life but we expected a bit more from Sennheiser.

By the way, the aforementioned listening modes, along with the ability to add or subtract volume, can be accessed via the convenient control panel located on one of the ears. As per usual, the model comes with a transmitter that acts both as a charging and docking station. And, to no one's surprise, this is a multi-receiver transmitter, meaning that it will allow you to connect 2 pairs of headphones at the same time.

All in all, these headphones for TV from Sennheiser will prove to be a perfect addition to your home entertainment system. The outstanding sound quality and the ergonomically sound design should be enough to satisfy even the most demanding audiophiles.

The controls are inconsistent. The Voice Effect switch makes the sound somewhat thin. The auto-tuning tech works surprisingly well adjusting the sound based on the input though.

These critiques don't necessarily go in line with our earlier statement suggesting that these are big-time headphones. That's where the sound quality comes in. Needless to say, sound quality is easily the most important aspect when it comes to headphones and this is where these things do not disappoint in the slightest.

The 'phones sensitivity reaches 100 dB, while the impedance caps at 32, pretty impressive numbers as far as mid-range headphones are concerned. These things provide much more oomph than you'd expect, keeping the sound robust yet surprisingly detailed at the same time. The 40-mm (1.57-inch) drivers work wonders clearly reproducing everything from thunderous blasts to soft whispers. The sound feels spacious and deep, with bright tones and magnetic output.

Setting the sound aside, there's not much separating these headphones from its mid-range peers. The 20-hour battery life is pretty good but nothing we haven't seen before. The 'phones are pretty good at reducing ambient noise though.

Right, there's also the Voice mode. Though sometimes gimmicky, the mode will make dialogues much easier to recognize in those movies where the sound effects are too loud compared to the actors' lines.

Long story short, the Sony RF995RK come at the most reasonable price considering the sound quality that punches way above its weight. The bass has an outstanding impact and decent extension. The connection's unusually stable even compared to Sony headphones.

Again, the transmitter sells these headphones as much as the 'phones themselves. There's an LED indicator that lights up when the headphones are paired with the station. You can hold the Voice button for seven seconds to activate and utilize voice commands.

Other than that, these headphones support two high-quality codecs that are usually reserved for higher-end wireless 'phones – aptX HD and aptX Low Latency. These codecs make sure that the latency is kept to an absolute minimum. Reducing audio delay to <40 ms, these headphones sync the sound with the on-screen action, ensuring basically zero lip-sync delay.

The Avantree HT5009 incorporate pass-through support via the Bypass mode. Again, normally reserved for high-end wireless headphones for TV, the mode enables the headphones and any wired speaker to be used at the same time.

As you would imagine, the feature will prove especially useful for families where some family members suffer from hearing loss. That person will be able to use the headphones and watch the movie/series/whatever with everyone, while everyone else can listen to the soundbar without cranking up the volume.

In closing, to repeat the point we've made earlier, the Avantree HT5009 are affordable headphones that noticeably outclass the product's competition within its price bracket. These things are much more practical and functional than anything you can buy for less than $100.

The Ansten doesn’t go out of sync and spoil your experience. No delays and an up to 197 ft. range make this headset highly practical and enjoyable. Need to fetch drinks from the kitchen while a match unfolds? Don’t miss a beat with these headphones and tune right back in without delay.

What makes this headset really comfy are the light weight and flexible headband. Put them on – and forget they’re even there when you’re binge-watching the new series. This headset is also excellent for gamers and doesn’t feel tight on your head. The only time it could be tight is when you’re wearing the glasses.

Finally, these headphones are compact and portable. Take them with you to a friend’s house, a seaside hotel room, or just about anywhere else. Be absolutely sure that they will serve you well at home or on the go. After all, who wouldn’t want the crystal clear TV sound instead of the dubious built-in speakers?

To sum up, the Ansten wireless headphones are a perfect fit for music lovers and TV viewers. Widely compatible and delivering quality sound, they’ll make a great purchase – or a nice practical gift.

TV headphones are always wireless headphones, which means that battery life takes priority. That being said, when we're talking about Avantree headphones, we know that the product will not disappoint. In this case, "not disappointing" means lasting between 30 and 40 hours, depending on the settings, which is no small feat considering that even more expensive headphones from brands like Sony and Sennheiser usually cap at 20 hours tops.

Sure, the effective range is not that great, stretching no more than 100 feet, but who can say without exaggerating that they need more than that? Most people can say that they want wireless headphones without noticeable delay and, preventing the latency from going above 40 ms, this model will heed those people's call.

Without talking about its immediate pairing and that the Bluetooth base supports 2 headphones simultaneously, the Avantree HT4189 makes a more compelling case than almost all headphones for TV under $100.
