Not nearly as easy as the video suggests. If I got further back than about 6', all I got was static. If you turned your body the slightest, the sound completely dropped out. The contacts are not gold plated, so they will tarnish.The range was horrible.
Complete marketing techno-babble.Bottom line, a complete rip-off. Um, this thing runs on infrared light, not radio. 2.3MHZ, the box screams. Maybe I got a bad one, but if so their quality control is horrible. First, I had to jiggle it just to get it to charge. Even if they work initially they most likely will fail once some tarnish sets in. And even at 6' it was extremely directional.
Maybe there's something inside the box that uses a 2.3MHz signal, but that's got nothing to do with its operation. A good idea ruined by poor design and poorer quality. The small pins on the base unit do not make a solid contact with the headphones. Someone walking in front of the set would kill the sound.I mistrust companies which throw out gratuitous marketing terms, solely to bamboozle the less-technically capable.
But there are problems. The right arm broke off with no reason what so ever.
Wish there was something better out there. Also there was interference from some lights in my house.
Before that the ear plugs were either too loose (would fall off) or too tight and very uncomfortable. All in all, I am sorry I bought the system.
TV ears sounded like a good idea and indeed they do help the sound quality for someone who is moderately hearing impaired. First the quality of construction is terrible.
And the range on this thing was quite limited (8 ft or more and static overwhelmed everything.
these are uncomfortable and become annoying after a short while. as long as you are in an upright position they work well, for all other positions they are uncomfortable. should have beed designed as ear muffs. they do work well for the sound part but the design is not worth the money.
I wonder how often this has happened, because when I call 1-888-TV3EARS or their HELP # (866-611-9944), the greeting I get is "MAILBOX IS FULL." And I wouldn't be so foolish as to pay the company $99 (per their "Lifetime Service Guarantee") for a new TV Ears System. Finally, after months of a bad connection (where I had to tap the circuit in the bottom of the headset until I heard sound), my TV Ears suddenly ceased to function. First I had problems fitting the headset "just so" in the cradle so it would charge correctly. Then I noticed that they became very uncomfortable in my ears after about 30 minutes. Now all I hear is static when I switch it on.
He is also very happy he no longer has to mess with a hearing aid while watching T.V. We helped my dad get the unit hooked up and he seems very happy. I would recommend the product.
