Now that we are in the second decade of the 2020 Quarantine Lockdown, there have been many moments when the family has come to blows. Over things like chores, work spaces and the perennial question of what should we all watch on TV together ?
If by some miracle the family decides on a common movie to watch, then begins the struggle for the remote. Having deadened my ears in my teenage years through aggressively loud listening of heavy metal music and many rock shows that exceeded even Disaster Area levels, I tend to turn up the TV volume as high as I can. This tends to aggravate my family beyond belief. 🤷🏽♂️
But technology to the rescue. A few years ago I got this amazing set of over the ear headphones that connect wirelessly over RF to your TV via a receiver. You can then pair up to 4 headphones with one receiver. Voila! Instant personal volume control.
You can get the first set of headphones with the transceiver and then buy individual headphones as required. One transceiver supports up to 4 headphones. Since the connection is over Radio Frequency (RF) and not Infra-Red, these will work throughout your house. So as you get up for a snack or go to the bathroom, you can still hear the TV audio where ever you go. The range is quite exceptional.
This has solved many issues at our house. When our kids were younger and slept early, my wife and I could watch the TV without disturbing the little ones since we both had individual headphones. We also convinced our older parents to get these and now they are enjoying the benefits of individual volume control without waking up the neighborhood.
Another great benefit is that you can actually hear all the background audio, the whispers and the soundtrack of the program you are watching. This adds an immersive layer of aural experience to your TV watching. We watched the entire run of Game Of Thrones with these headphones and immensely enjoyed the aural scapes.
Highly recommend: 5/5
