Can others listen? When plugged into the audio jack in the back of my TV, the TV sound goes silent. I can only hear through the headphones. Others can't listen. Is there a way to alter this so that others aside from me can listen to the TV?

yes If you are using a cable box then hook them up to cable box then one person use the head set and everyone else can listen to TV. This way you can mute TV and listen with headphones and not bother others and still hear everything. This is great for hard of hearing and the rest of the family can listen too.

We do not have this problem. We have the option of muting the TV sound and listening only with the headphones or un-muting the TV sound so others can hear.

On mine sound comes through the built in tv speakers and the headphones at the same time

We have ours connected to the back of our tv and the sound comes through the TV and headphones. If you want it to only be heard through the headphones then just mute the tv. I turn the volume of the TV down to the level that's right for me and then my husband has the headphones on and controls their volume and can hear at the right volume for him.

Not that I am aware of.

Plug into your cable box instead of TV. It works for my Visio TV with a DirecTv HD box. It tells you in the directions.

Hi Ronsko,
This specific function is from the TV. Please refer to the operating instructions and manual of your TV. Thanks,
