Can I get in-ear headphones to watch t.v?

grizzly1911

I have a Panasonic and a Samsung and they both have independent headphone volume control hidden in the Menu Settings for Audio.

It is independent of the normal volume control.

As another OP said you can get a 3.5mm male/female extension jack off amazon for a couple of squid.

Yes, but you said

"I've tried my ipod in-ear phones and plugged in to t.v. but volume is so loud even with t.v. volume down to zero."

This was the statement I was addressing. What's the make and model of TV?

Okay - misunderstood your reason. Make of tv is Panasonic and model is TX-26LXD70

In response to my OP there have been references to "in line" and "line out" when talking about volume control. What does in line/line out mean please?

Page 22 of the online manual refers to a menu item to adjust headphone volume - did you use this?

From the look of it, all you need is a long 3.5mm extension cord (Amazon, Maplin, other electronic supplier) - plug it into the back of the TV (headphone socket), plug headphones into the other end, and control volume from the menu

Line inputs and outputs are the 'Audio Out' for instance on your set - fixed volume, phono sockets, for connecting to other equipment which expects a fixed level signal.

However, if the volume control doesn't modify the headphone level, the TV is either faulty or badly-designed, IMHO.

I should probably retract this, as it appears TVs are designed with separate headphone volume to address the needs of hearing-impaired viewers, which I hadn't considered.
