ANSTEN Wireless Headphones for Smart TV Watching,TV Headphones for Seniors

At $99 these are a little more expensive then many others on Amazon but I think they are worth the extra money. And I should know, these are my 4th wireless headphones. My review is based on use with my TV but these headphones have additional uses. PROS They fit around-the-ear and not on the ear. As such they are more comfortable and they cut down on room noise. The ear opening is large which helps me because I have tried some around-the-ear headphones that are too small for my large ears. They have a snug fit which helps them stay in place when you move your head around. If you walk around the house doing chores (as I do) you will appreciate the fact that they don’t slide off of your head when you bend over. The adjustment feature of the earpieces is METAL, not plastic. I will repeat, METAL. This is a great advantage. I just threw away my 3-year-old headphones, that I loved, because one of the plastic sliders broke. I was unable to repair it. The headphones connect via audio inputs 4 different ways. The normal red and white RCA cable from your TV. A digital optical audio cable from your TV. A digital coaxial cable (looks like an RCA cable but it’s not) from your TV, and lastly a 3.5 mm input that allows you to use to use the headphones as a normal wired headphone with your cellphone or PC/tablet. The power switch can be off in this wired mode. All cables are included, even the digital optical cable, and the digital coaxial cable. I didn’t even know that my TV had an optical audio output. It did and I am currently using it for these headphones. Setup is extremely easy. No channels to choose. No fine-tuning adjustment knob. Just plug in an audio cable and turn it on. Naturally you may have to activate the audio output on your TV and also set it to constant volume. Take a look at your TV manual to assist. Audio quality is excellent. Coverage all over my 1850 square foot single floor home is excellent. Battery life seems very good. I have only found it necessary to charge over-night. The power button and volume up and down buttons are easy to find while wearing the headphones. And lastly, no fiddling around required to put the headphones on the charger base. Just drop it on. It is self-centering and reversible. Believe me when I say that some headphones are difficult to align in the charger base. CONS Some people might find the headphones too snug. SUMMARY Please give these headphones a try. I think you will be very happy that you did.

Even with a hearing aid, I finally got to the point where additional help was needed. I finally settled on this Artiste headset. Pros. It appears to be well made. Comes with 2 pre-installed rechargeable batteries, and tap volume controls and an on/off button in the headset itself. There is also an auxiliary 3.5MM jack. The ear pieces are well padded and tight fitting, but don’t expect perfect external sound blocking. If you want that go for Studio quality headsets. Set up was easy. Ear piece fit adjustment to the head and ears was also easy as well. Headset weight doesn’t appear to be a problem, but that’s personal as well. Volume level is excellent. like beauty, sound reproduction and quality is personal. For my taste, it is excellent with a fine stereo effect. Accessories include just about anything you need for different type connections. I used my TV Optical jack and I have beautiful sound. Specs say it’ll work at least 100 ft away. I tried it at least 60 ft away with no loss of sound quality. Battery charging is simple. Just fit the headset on top of the charging dock being sure it makes proper contact with the contact points. Do not force it down.The charging dock/RF transmitter has a power on light and a charging indicator light that goes out when the charge is completed. There is also what appears to be a ”Standby” light that comes on when you remove the headset. As this is a day 1 review, I can’t comment at this time on battery life between charges. Maybe that’ll come later. Cons. Probably the most important to consider is the fit. By necessity it is tight and quite possibly could become very uncomfortable after several hours. In addition, I noted that due to the heat caused by the padding you do start to get a little sweaty around the ears. For those of you with very large ears (my own are pretty standard) this headset may not be for you. If either of these are a concern, it might be preferable to go with “ear buds”.

I have tested this headphone setup (referred here as '2.4') against their earlier product, "Wireless Headphones for TV with Charging Dock,Over The Ear Stereo Headset with RF Transmitter,Adjustable,Lightweight,Cordless Design for Gaming PC, Rechargeable 25 Hour Battery TV Headphone Wireless", referred here as 'RF'. This headphone uses 2.4 ghz instead of RF, but seems to have about the same extended range, much better than the more limiting Bluetooth. Comparing the sound quality, this headphone to my ears has a better sonic balance of frequencies, whereas the RF set seems to emphasize the higher frequencies (better for spoken than music). I would agree with an earlier review that the recessed button placement for power and volume adjustment is more difficult to find by feel than with the more obvious buttons on the side of the earpiece of the RF set. Both this 2.4 and the RF headsets are comfortable to wear. The 2.4 has an extra band on top which I thought would be annoying from the look, but feels just fine. The two sets have different shapes, so it may depend on the shape of your ears, which could also affect how much sound bleeds out for others to hear. This was my first time to try the optical connection and it worked fine. This feature is not on the RF set. I did notice that the comparative volume of the optical was substantially lower than the standard RCA audio output, but one can just turn up the volume on the headphones. I don't have a way of testing the coaxial input. The two have a different charging device. Some have noted to be sure the connection is made with the RF set. The balancing device for charging the 2.4 is more assured and does take less physical space. Overall, both the 2.4 and RF headphones appear to be quality and the company seems to want to make sure they meet your needs.

This is the third set of computer headphones I have owned, with the first two costing approximately $70, so I can make a good evaluation as to whether or not the additional money for these headphones is worth it. The answer is a resounding YES!! My first headphones were "Monodeal Digital Stereo Headsets" (by Artiste), which had a latency issue where the sound would be delayed around 1 second before it began, and the range was fairly limited – around 35’ inside my house. The second set of headphones was by Ansten. There was zero latency and the range was around 45’, although there was static in the headphones after a 35’ range. By comparison, the range on these advanced Ansten headphones is simply amazing. Inside my house, they have perfect reception with zero static for the maximum distance I can roam, which is around 55’. So, I went outside to see how far they would still receive a signal. At around 70’ distance, with the signal passing through three log walls, the signal begins to break up, still with no static. Another advantage of these Ansten headphones over my previous Ansten headphones is that there is no hiss when I maximize the volume on the headset. The sound quality is excellent – although I typically only listen to YouTube videos, I also listened to some music and was very impressed. The headphones come with a wide variety of cables so that the base can be connected with lots of different types of devices. These headphones are also extremely comfortable for long use. My previous headphones will now sit on a shelf in the closet because these new Ansten headphones are clearly the best headphones I have used with my computer.

It was easy to install, came with all the cables and connectors one could possibly need. - It immediately charged up and bingo - after checking the well written manual, turned the set on and enjoyed a surprisingly good sound quality. I often want to listen to the evenings news or smooth jazz when I am outside watering plants around the house. This headset has a great range, and the signal was reaching to areas previously not available with other headsets of this kind. You can't go wrong with this - I recommend you give it a try, you won't be disappointed. It is lovely to turn up the volume and listen to your favorite music without disturbing those around you!

I got these headphones so I could hear TV better and they work wonderfully! I am very happy with them. They are very comfortable to wear even for extended periods of time like up to 3 hours or so. The controls are easy to use and one of the most important things to me is the volume stays were you put it even after turning them off and back on. I had a set before that every time you turned them on yo had to adjust the sound volume down before putting them on. I was not sure about these, but they work perfectly. The set comes with every combination of adapter or cable you could need and my husband really liked that part, it was super easy to connect up to the TV. It almost took longer to open the box than to connect them, less that 3 minutes. You don't have to be a techie to set them up either, the instructions are clear and explain everything. I would recommend them for anyone that wants an over the ear style headset, they just work great.

The headphones are easy to set up. Sound from outside of the headset, cracking, etc is non-existent. Electronically, an excellent product. And are comfortable to wear. BUT ... For someone experiencing the usual age-related hearing changes, this is not the right product. Sound is significantly shifted to base and no way is provided to modify that. Because movies, TV shows always have some type of background noise, and fast moving conversation, clarity of actors' dialogue can be an every fifth word experience due to words being swallowed within in the base range. I have to keep the closed caption active. After six months and I'm giving up on them in favor of a product that will allow some sound modifications (at three times the price).

These Headphones deliver audio wirelessly over 2.4 ghz frequency. They allow you to plug into an audio source from 3 different inputs. 1. RCA input 2. 3.5 mm jack 3. Optical Cable These options allow you to use these headphones for a wide variety of device options, from TV to radio, to anything that uses an earphone jack. These headphones are quite comfortable. I frequently fall asleep with them over my ears as I watch TV before bedtime. They also are very effective at blocking out the ambient noise of the room that you are in. I inadvertently triggered my home motion detector while walking around listening to them, and I could not hear the alarm sirens as they were going off. (The range on this unit is very good as well.) The batteries last at least 8 hours, and they are very convenient to recharge in the cradle. The cradle also lets you know when they are charging. The Sound quality is very good om this unit. The only thing they don't do is support Bluetooth. That would make it the only headphone you'd ever need! I have purchased from this manufacturer before, and know that they have terrific customer service. These headphones are a hit! I highly recommend them.

Product easy to setup. Great for my 85 year-old mother. See can now watch tv and hear clearly. Thanks

Que para los clientes europeos esto lo envían desde USA, demasiado lejos si hay complicación como es mi caso.

excellent product
