The television does not have a headphone jack. You would need to purchase wireless tv headphones.

Unfortunately there is no head phone connection you have to use you main stereo.

Thanks everyone for you help! I bought the TV last week and received it on Thur. What a great TV!!! I found and purchased the RCA-to-3.5mm adapter and it worked great. Only problem was the lack of volume control as William stated. I then purchased an audio extender cable that has a volume control built into it. Everything works beautifully!Thanks Jerry for the idea of the Wireless Headphones. I'm going to look into it as a future purchase.Thanks again!!

Yes and no. We have a sound system but it is not connected to the TV. The headphones are the type that allow a person to listen to the TV without the sound disturbing another person. He was using them when he got up earlier than me. It appears that the makers of headphones are producing only analog ones; the Radio Shack guy was going to show me digital headphones, but they turned out to be analog connect also. The products that I have been able to find seem to start at $60+; I wouldn't mind the price if I could be sure that the product would work with our set. Thanks for your input.

I'm not aware of any solutions apart from utilizing the headphone out on your audio receiver. With a TV this nice you've got a sound system, right? ;-)

I forget but I will say this about sound bars.1. Get one that can also do Bluetooth. This was a huge bonus suprise when my kids realized they could pair thier phones and use the soundbar as a full basement sound system2. I don't know if these exist in soundbars but if you find one with audio OUT that would be a plus. This tv only has one audio out... So If you have a soundbar you cannot attach headphones to TV for late night viewing

This TV doesn't have any analog audio out. There is optical and hdmi audio out. I ended up buying a receiver to power my analog speakers. I presume you would need something similar or at least a Digital to Analog Converter (DAC) if you wanted a standard headphone jack.

There is a separate transponder device which remains wired to the TV using an 1/8" cable (connected to "audio out" at the TV). Also gets plugged into a standard outlet for power. The headphones connect wirelessly to the transponder.

No, the headphones plug into the headphone jack on the tv and audio goes only to the headphones.

There is only one jack on your tv for the unit. Unless you can find another outlet that would work.

Do you use a cable box? If yes, that should have audio output jacks. You could either connect the Soundbox to the cable box directly or get some "Y" cables to split the input for you TV and Soundbox (you may need some adaptors).

Plug wire to TV sound output may need rca adapter or other adapter. My xla headphones worked for a week then lost the right stereo channel . they are junk . I purchased wireless ones much better not worth the 125 paid though. Good luck

The web for sure. As far as TV goes, these are a wired headphone so you would have to do one of two things. The first would be sitting close to the TV as it uses the 3.5mm Jack that standard headphones use. If you don't have that on you TV you can always by a 3.5mm to a y splitter rca cables for your tv. Second option is to by one of those wireless audio adapters that has a box you plug in your headphones, similar to a receiver. Hope that answers your questions.

I just received this TV. There is one connection on the back that will accept a headphone connection, but it is for PC input, so you won't be getting anything out of it. So far I've found two options for using headphones, and they both need an adapter such as Cables To Go 03182 - 3.5mm Stereo Female to RCA Male Y-Cable (Discontinued by Manufacturer)1. Hook to the TV and change the speakers option to "audio system" instead of "TV speakers." Even with the volume maxed, the output wasn't very loud in my headphones.2. Hook to my DirecTV box, which gives me louder output with no way to control it. I just received this TV.

I just got this email your answer is any headphones will work but you have to connect through a device that you can control the output sound level as there is no control on the tv to do that.

We bought two headsets - each comes with its own optical connector wire. We then bought an optical splitter box (wasn't too costly) and one extra optical cord (tiny wire). We hooked the one optical cord to the TV "optical out" and the splitter box "in." We then hooked each headphone's optical cord connector into the two "outs" on the splitter box. Both headphones sound FABULOUS! Hope this helps. As far as I know, you cannot piggyback another set of headphones, as each "tower" (which is also the recharging unit for the headphones) connects to its own individual signal.

It does not have an outlet for your headset. You will need to use an analog u adapter. One out put from the y adapter from your TV to the headphones, and the other to the sound bar.
