What I’m needing is a pair of headphones that will let me hear the sound from a television that’s on FIOS, but for which I want, at certain times, to cut off the sound from the Television itself, so that the tv sound/noise will not disturb others. In the other locations in the home, I’ve used what are celled Artiste Units, but they are now hard to find. With the ones I have, the docket that comes with the unit will “recharge” the batteries when the headphones are not in use. Can I do same with these JBL’s? I’ve used other JBL’s for decades, including internationally with what were called the “Monitor” speaker systems, even in France, Russia, and China, when I was living/working in each.
Can no one tell me whether this headphone system can be used with a television (not just as a telephone-headphone or a player from other systems)? Our current units work through the (awful) FIOS boxes.
Thanks…
That’s dependent on your TV. Most TVs will have a speaker jack for headphones so these would work but you’d probably need an extension for the cable. But check your TV to see if it has a 3.5mm OUT.
Thanks. The older TV (a Toshiba) to which I have a pair of declining Artiste headphones now connected connected has those connections into two external RCA-plug out ports. The FIOS unit that I’m using there is the smaller FIOS Controler/Signal box, which has at its rear one USB port, one plug-slot marked “AV out,” and one plug-slot marked “IR Ext.”
I’m being super-cautious because a headphones pair that I got earlier (actually from you) I wound up being unable to have it work in any way. Want not to repeat that situation. Hoping, since these are JBL’s there will be enough flexibility so that I can make them work.
I also have a much-larger and newer than the Toshiba Element television that I could use to replace the Toshiba.
I took a photo of the inputs/outputs on that unit, but your system seems not to let me attach a photo here, so I list the workable plugs:
Headphone
PC Audio
Coaxial Audio
The following are RCA-type plugs)

I’m hoping/guessing, even if I have to buy some other connection wires, that something out of all that should work?
Thanks
