RRP $499, i have been waiting for this to go under $250 since forever, and now it is so i purchased one as well
CamelCamelCamel.
Really expensive
Yet you upvoted it?!
Still feel it's a good concept, found cheaper options on AliExpress though
please share? thanks :))
@davidl222222: I just found this on AliExpress:
AU$26.59 | H7 Tv Bluetooth Headphones Wireless Headphon with Mic USB Adaptor Headset Noise Cancelling Stereo Foldable Bass for TV Earphone.
Annoyingly my Samsung TV does not have 3.5mm output nor bluetooth connectivity.
I am stuck with HDMI ARC or optical output.
Hard to find any option for headphones.
I would have had hard time to justify $235 anyway.
Get Google TV (Chromecast) and connect your headphones to it.
Sorry won't work for free to air unless you watch it via the stick.
Also, you can get an optical out Bluetooth transmitter so that will resolve it too. https://amzn.asia/d/5OayyMp
You can get optical and hdmi arc to 3.5mm converters for about $15 - $35.

This one has both

These are actually one of the few models that do have optical input iirc.
Have a similar unit connected with optical…..
If you already have one of the streaming sticks (chromecast / Firefox) you're better off just connecting your headphones to that.
Of course that doesn't help FTA if you also want headphones for FTA.
Does this allows for multiple headphones at once? Or even speaker + headphone concurrently?
Look up Bluetooth Auracast.
For the ultimate grandfather
I have RS170 and they’re still going strong.
Unlike Bluetooth solutions there is no delay.
How easy would it be to replace the batteries when the time comes?
I'm pretty sure they use AAA.
Thanks for letting me know.
Glad the batteries aren't built-in.
I have these hooked up to my computer and they are pretty good.
I see a number of people recommending Bluetooth. I feel that unless it is tightly integrated into the OS Bluetooth devices will experience some lag.
Bluetooth latency is a byproduct of the complexity of compression for the hardware at each end, and the bandwidth/signal conditions. Chances are any low latency wireless technology you're thinking of is just a variant of either Bluetooth or Wifi.
Both are becoming standardised for low latency audio, it's just seems the hardware manufacturing involved is taking its sweet time between older chip SKU volume and newer chip SKU pricing.
LC3 Plus - or LC3 if quality is of less concern than energy usage - is a fairly easy means to do it as of today, and Wi-Fi audio will be the other.
