Headphones to be used with a TV

[Deleted User]

Hi,

search, scart adapter to 3.5 jack.

if you haven't got any scart output on your Tv then the scart/3mm jack won't work either.

The OP does apparently have a SCART on the TV

Could someone send me a link to something suitable?

Done that with the edits above, Merely connecting a headphone jack to the SCART won't work - not enough signal strength to power headphones, no control over volume.

The solution with the SCART will ONLY work if the TV outputs audio through the SCART - if the SCART is wired as an INPUT only, you're back to square one.

What's the make and model of the TV? (Sorry, it's unbranded - is there no maker's plate with a model number anywhere? No instruction manual?)

The scart to 3.5mm jack only brings up the end of the cable that looks the same as the end of the headphones (male) I need a female one.

What is the picture of above?

All I was hoping for was to plug the headphones into a female connection which is the opposite end of the cable to the scart, then scart into tv.

No you don't. Plugging headphones into a SCART won't work, because the SCART won't deliver enough power for them, and it will be at fixed level, with no control over the volume.....

Ok, well the links you have provided are for items far too expensive so I guess I will just have to leave it.

I'm not suggesting those are the only ones on the market, nor that they're the cheapest, etc etc - merely that they're the type of thing you need.

I wasn't in a position to link to anything explicitly tailored to your budget, since you haven't stated what your budget is......

Armed with the pointers I gave you, you could do a little searching of your own, and see if you can find something that's within the reach of your wallet..... no?
