SIMOLIO Wireless TV Headphones for Seniors and Hard of Hearing, 2.4GHz Over-Ear Digital Wireless Headsets for TV Listening (Optical/RCA/AUX), No Pairing, 164 feet Range, SM-825D Pro

Your hearing will get worse with age, but you don't need to be old to prefer the use of headphones. I watch with my wife several hours a day TV and I spent several hours on the computer doing things and listening to music at the same time. My wife's hearing is fine but mine has deteriorated especially on my right ear over the last years. Therefore I was looking for earphones which you can attach (of course wirelessly) to our TV. My second point in the search was that you can regulate the volume separately for each ear!! Another important condition was that my TV is not muted by plugging the base/amplifier into my TV. OK, the latter is a problem of the TV not the wireless headset. My Sony Bravia KDL-46W2000 does not have Bluetooth as it is not one of the latest models anymore. However in system-settings one could set it to play both: internal speakers AND headset when an audio jack is plugged in. The Simolio set comes even with two other cables (optical and RCA). I used the audio jack. The setup was done in two minutes. Honestly. No pairing or such things required. The headset is very comfi and soft. Audio quality is great. The quality of the "Sennheisers & Co" might be better (I don't know as I can't compare), but they don't offer separate volume control for each ear and they are much more expensive (double or triple the price of this headset. This set has a very reasonable price, it work also with my PC. One has always a charged spare battery in the base unit . My wife can hear via the normal speakers, I hear via the headset with low volume on the left and full volume on the right ear. I realise that my right ear learns to listen again (of course this is the brain, which learns it again, as some audio related areas where not used for a long time). The volume range is just great! I had a couple of questions and the seller quickly responded. So I'm actually quite happy with my new setup. Once the big players (Sony, Sennheiser and ....) have realised that some deafness is part of the norm, not only among the elderly; there might be more such things on the market. I'm very glad I found SIMOLIO SM-825D and one of my arguments is, it is not for seniors only, I know younger folks which have different hearing on their ears; they might be deterred by the word "Senior" and "Hard hearing" in the advertising lines as people with hearing difficulties don't admit this easily and learn rather to live with it as doing something against :-). Do you hear me?!

This is my second one too listen to the radio. Also of course the two headsets can be used with both TV and Radio. Again just plug-and-play and the sound is much better from the headset's. First impressions: ‘I just plugged-it-in and it played’ My TV is a 12-year end of line when I bought it, Sony Bravia KDL-32W40 and have had problems over the years connecting devices as I’ve run out of sockets/etc on the back and didn’t think this was to be any different. My TV firmware for the Headset only allows, headset or TV not both & the RCA jacks have a mind of their own. I use Virgin Media and that seems to take over some settings so it will work and stops everything muscling in. Firstly, I spent a bit of time reading the User Manual and Quick Guide whilst the batteries were on charge and what a pleasant surprise, information that is clear, well presented and also easy to understand – with lots of tips if it does not work - top marks. Also, I didn’t have to hunt around or buy yet another lead to connect it up – hurrah. I know very little about how to setup this type of wireless device but I could easily follow it. Also made an enquiry to Simolio and got a very prompt and clear reply which seldom happens these days of ‘flog and forget’. Once – and yes, a spare battery supplied and gets charged up whilst unit is switched on so its ready when needed to change the battery in the headset (10 hrs charge) at no extra cost. I just followed the instructions and connected up for ‘Headset’ switched on and allowed the 5 secs or so pairing and off I went. The headset is very comfortable and light, volume, mic on/off switch at hand but had no need to adjust the balance. I tried walking around every room in the house and the sound was great everywhere. You can also connect another wired headset and listen. Repeated the RCA and as before no problems and I could hear via headset and TV – at last!!!!! Have yet to try Digital Optical Out as the socket is mine is in use and I can’t remember what it’s doing so best at present leave what is working – working. Have decided to buy another one so we can listen to the Local radio station which has a strong signal in the kitchen leaving us to wander around and listen to it or have two headsets to listen to either radio or TV. Strongly recommended……… Can confirm that you can fall asleep and the headset does not fall off.

I was looking for a new pair of wireless headphones which were not bluetooth, to replace my years-old knackered Panasonic pair. I use headphones primarily for listening to music and, although these are marketed more as TV headphones, they seemed to be the ones best suited for my needs. I have now been using them for about a year. Overall, they're pretty great! They really are a good fit, with each earpiece individually adjustable and I can wear them for a long period of time without feeling uncomfortable (unlike the single elastic band fit on the Panasonics which were always still a little too large and loose on my head.) The Panasonics also had to be tuned to the receiver and occasionally they would knock themselves out in the middle of use so I would have to slightly nudge the tuning dial to get the sound back. Not so with the Simolio: tuning is automatic and permanent, and the sound remains constant and clear throughout. The fact that you get two battery packs with it, and can charge one whilst using the other, is a great touch! I do personally have one small issue with these headphones, pretty much the only thing which stops me giving them the full five stars. They have a feature where, if no sound is detected, they will enter a sort of "sleep mode", then they will take a second or two to wake back up when sound comes through again. I'm not certain but I believe this may be a power-saving feature that almost all products like this nowadays are legally required to have. This in itself wouldn't be an issue if it weren't for the fact that the time to sound cut-off seems to be so short: when one song finishes, just a few seconds gap is all it takes for the headphones to shut down. When the next song starts, I can miss the beginning of it because the headphones haven't woken up again yet. I've also noticed that the sound playing needs to be loud enough for the headphones to detect them in the first place - depending on how the song starts I could be a good 10 seconds or so into it before the sound starts coming through. Like I said, I realise these are marketed more as TV headphones, but on the rare occasions I've used them for that purpose I have noticed a similar effect. If it's a very quiet scene, the headphones can enter their sleep mode. Then even when a sound occurs or a character speaks, if it's not loud enough the headphones won't register them. There have been rare moments when I've missed entire lines of dialogue and then had to quickly rewind the film back to watch it again after the headphones finally woke up. On another more general note: if the headphones haven't being used for a long period of time, the batteries tend to lose charge by themselves and could be flat when you actually need them (I also suspect one battery may not hold its charge as long as the other one.) In fairness, however, this seems to be the common nature of virtually all rechargeable batteries and therefore not something I can single out this particular product for. I do always have the option of connecting the headphones directly using the provided cable, which eliminates all the above-mentioned issues, and that is a very welcome inclusion! Overall, these headphones are a great improvement over my old pair and I've been very happy with my purchase over the last year. The "sleep mode" is fine to be there, I just feel the delay before entering that really should be longer than it is - give new sound more time to come through than a mere few seconds. If that time could be extended, these headphones would have earned that elusive fifth star!

I bought these wireless headphones, as I wear them so I can wander round the house, listening to my programs, while getting jobs etc done. The sound is clear, excellent quality (I am a singer & musician so critical), you can adjust the balance left and right if you have a slight hearing issue in one ear. If you get an extra set of headphones, you can also use them from the same base transmitter unit. ( You can use it with several headphone units). The base unit has ports and wires for Digital audio , RCA and 3.5mm aux. . Charging is so easy, just plug the headphones into the base unit, just like charging your mobile phone. This will charge the internal battery within the headphones, without having to remove the battery. It also comes with a second battery which sits, charging in the base unit. One word of Warning, make sure you are VERY careful inserting the battery into your headphones, as the connector pins are fragile, and can break easily. But this tiny issue is nothing in comparison to how great these are. The headphone unit is really comfortable. I find alot of sets make my ears and jaw hurt (especially as I wear glasses). But these are very cosy, even for prolonged periods. I would rebuy these without hesitation, and am a customer for life!!! Also, customer service is superb, fast and professional. Out of interest, they are a small firm, and based in the UK....which is a massive PRO in my mind.

After a series of deliveries and Frustrating returns for RF headphonesI hope to get hope that this headphones would actually fit the bill, and I have not been disappointed. The phones are beautifully designed and the technology is first rate. There is no background noise the phones are easy to install and very easy to operate I would be happy to give them six stars and that is unusual for me for stop a real benefit is the fact that the charging of the phone's is done via a proper plug rather than weedy pins Connecting onto moving strips in a badly fitting cradle. A particular feature the ability to switch on a facility to hear Somebody alongside speaking. Not the cheapest headphones but best value by far

Had these for nearly two years and in all areas except one they are brilliant. The range is good. The independent volume control is good. The rechargeable battery system is a great idea…never left unable to use them because battery has gone flat. HOWEVER…..they have one serious fault (which they call a design feature) whereby whenever the film/tv program soundtrack goes quiet, the headphones automatically cut out ….only if restarting when the soundtrack gets back to a normal level. If you are watching (say) a film with lots of quiet background music with little or no narrative it will drive you mad stopping and starting!! If your tv is an older model with an RCA audio output then connecting with the red and white leads seems to solve the problem which makes me believe that the problem lies with the digital connection which is the only option on some newer tvs….like mine!!! It’s a great pity…because otherwise these are exceptionally good headphones. Postscript! Following above review, Simolio Customer Support have been exceptionally helpful in trying to find a solution for me. I agreed to purchase a digital to RCA converter (cost less than a tenner which they have now reimbursed) which appears to have solved the problem. I need to test for a few weeks so will post a final review afterwards). Whilst I am very pleased with Simolio support I am still not happy that their product needed to be downgraded to RCA for it to work fully, even with quiet soundtracks like any old set of plug in headphones would do, and whilst this will probably put me off their products in the future, I am willing to upgrade my rating from two to three stars just for their product support.

This is a tremendous high quality product. It comes with a variety of leads to connect the transmitter to the TV, and in this respect is in marked contrast to other manufacturers. It is very easy to set up and start using, and transmitter has a long range. Very helpfully the package comes with spare battery which is being charged constantly by the transmitter, so when battery in the headset goes flat you have another charged ready and waiting. It is a joy to use. The headset is very comfortable to wear and it really clarifies the dialogue when people are speaking in a TV programme..The company responded helpfully to an e mail query of mine within a couple of hours, which says a lot about the service they give. The price is extremely reasonable for a product of this quality. You will be well pleased with your purchase.

these are not great headphones. To use the microphone to listen to other people whilst watching TV. you have to turn the sound up fully, but it means the TV. cannot be heard, so you might just as well take them off. The sound is very strange if you turn your head the sound goes higher on the ear which is further away, also as someone else mentioned the sound is clearer if you lift the phones off your ears a little . As for the battery it does not last 10 hours more like 4. My other headphones last about 5 days before charging. The only good thing is they have a long range with no interference, but i would not recommend these

I bought these to use with my Spark guitar amp for practice sessions so I could be cord free. They quickly and automatically connect when turned on, and there is no lag in the sound when playing. They are very comfortable to wear, have good battery life. There is one spare battery in the transmitter at all times, so if the headphone dies, it's very easy to swap it out. I'm also able to use a small USB power bank to power the transmitter, so it is a very portable setup because I don't have to locate it by a power outlet. The set comes with all the required cables for pretty much any hookup you can think of. You can adjust the volume and balance for optimum hearing, and there is also a 3 way tone control to adjust the sound. I've found that while using them when I'm playing guitar, I select the mono setting and also the treble setting for best effects. One interesting feature is that they seem to have an auto sound levelling function, and its nice when switching presets on the amp that it doesn't blast in my ears if they were set for a higher volume. Overall, they work great for my use and I'd recommend them highly. (Oct 8 Update: I've been using them for a while now, and they are an excellent set! My recommendation is now 10 out 10!)

Easy to set up and volume control in headphones makes it easy to adjust

Von dem Kopfhörer bin ich sehr positiv überrascht. Er trägt sich angenehm und der Klang ist wirklich ordentlich. Für High-End-Hi-Fi-Liebhaber ist er wahrscheinlich nicht geeignet, aber dafür auch nicht gedacht. Ich nutze ihn zum Musikhören am PC, zum Recording im Homestudio und zum Musizieren zu fortgeschrittener Stunde. Die Übertragung funktioniert konstant und völlig nebengeräuschfrei, auch bei Bewegung und beim Raumwechsel. Bei meinem alten Funkkopfhörer musste ich ständig nachjustieren. Selbst der Standdort des Senders in der Nähe des Routers scheint kein Problem zu sein und der Wechselakku ist eine tolle Idee. Insgesamt macht das System einen durchdachten Eindruck und die Verarbeitung ist einwandfrei. Von mir eine klare Kaufempfehlung.

The easiest setup ever but remember to charge them for 3 hours before setting them up. The only hiccup I experienced was the audio connection to tv, at first I couldn’t hear the TV because I selected optical instead of TV speakers in audio settings on my Samsung older TV. I also had to find the PCM mode in Audio settings on TV which was under Expert settings in Audio Settings on TV. The headphones connected quickly! The features and sound are great, my husband loves this set. I previously purchased Sony’s and had return because I couldn’t connect them. The price is very good compared to other ones. I definitely recommend them to anyone that has to turn up their TV too loud.

Facile da istallare audio chiaro e volume adatto a chi sente poco
