Customer Reviews:

very poorly made [Posted on 2008-05-18]
We bought one of these for my mother in law - it worked great for one night. We returned them, and got another - it worked for one day. They look like they should cost $10, not $100. You have to play with the headset to get it to charge on its cradle. I would not recommend these to anyone.

TV Ears [Original] [Posted on 2008-06-01]
It got here in timely fashion. All needed parts were included in the box and the assembly instructions were easy to understand. The earphones work up to 25 feet from the transmitter. My wife is pleased with being able to hear when I have the TV set at a reasonable volume for me; she can just increase the audio volume on her headset. The manufactorer should throw in a couple of extra headphone earbud tips [since they must be changed every month or 6 weeks].

NOT WITH PLASMA TV [Posted on 2008-06-09]
Does not work with plasma tv. aked manufacturer for help and they provided several things to try, but to no avail. Seller has not provided a reimbursement, and had poor response to problem

Great for me, not for my mom [Posted on 2008-06-25]
1)Wireless headphones are a good idea for any home: For instance, my husband is back in school, so when he's pulling a homework all-nighter, I just pull out my TV Ears and he can work in silence.
2)Consider the needs of the user: For Xmas, I purchased TV Ears for my 80 year old hard-of-hearing mom. Coincidentally, she also received a competing set that uses radio frequency. She chose to keep the RF headphones because she can walk around the house and even use the bathroom (!) TV Ears are infrared red,so out of sight, out of sound.
3)Consider sound quality: The RF headphones that my mom kept sound terrible. The sound is muddled and there's a hiss, but she can't tell because she can't hear very well. TV Ears have a nice clean sound which is important to me, but not to my mother.
4)Consider comfort: From other Amazon reviews, I was worried about the weight and feel of the TV Ears, but they feel fine to me. The feel was fine to my mom as well.
5)Batteries: My mom's RF don't recharge and she's using batteries at a nice clip. I wouldn't purchase any headphones that don't recharge.
6)Don't give up: Several years ago, I had purchased for myself a different brand of infrared headphones. They had a noticeable hiss and weren't acceptable to me.
7)Final Analysis: I'm really pleased with TV Ears. Sound quality is excellent and they feel fine in my ears. But for the hard of hearing I think there are better cheaper options. Be prepared to return any set until the user is comfortable with the sound and feel. They will probably use them every day for many years. You might as well spend some time and get it right.

Better Equipment Available [Posted on 2008-07-09]
I have been using this brand for several years. They do a pretty good job, but there is better technology, build quality, and customer service available.

First, if you ever crack a piece of the plastic housings (very easy to do as the housings are quite cheaply made) not many parts are available from the company. And When the batteries go toes up, count on replacing large assemblies. You might as well consider these dispose and replace.

Second, all of the models I have tried are not even stereo. What's with that? Other companies (CLARITY C120 comes in lower priced with much better design and quality) offer stereo and detachable battery packs!
