Sony KDL-46XBR9 TV - Any suggestions for a wireless headset?? I just purchased my very first HDTV and I need a little help. I know nothing about all these high tech gadgets and am not sure what to look for. I have the Sony KDL-46XBR9 in the bedroom. My husband likes to stay up late watching movies and of course TV. I was wondering if; 1) This TV is compatible with wireless headphones and 2) If so, is there any particular brand I should look for that will work with this model? I want to get my husband a headset for Christmas. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks Sony KDL-46XBR9 TV - Any suggestions for a wireless headset??

I would like to find out myself as my father is hearing-impaired and wireless headphones will prevent a tripping hazard. Sonystyle.com has wireless infrared headphones with rechargeable docking base for $49.95 (and up) that had received some good reviews. Infrared means you will need a clear line of sight from TV or receiver to the headphones. I am most likely going to have to buy w/o auditioning a pair. I am keenly interested in a set that is compatible with surround sound like DTS. I also bought the Sony KDL-46XBR9 bundled with Blu-ray player and HTSS360 HTIB (home theater in a box). The receiver has no headphone jack so I will need to set up the headphones via TV.

Ear Force X41 (XBOX LIVE Chat + Wireless Digital RF Game Audio with Dolby Headphone 7.1 Surround Sound)A year late, I realize, but I thought I would add this for anyone else reading this thread. I bought these as a gamer but they're simply a fully surround sound set of headphones once you unclip the mic (which is used for in-game Xbox voice chat with other players). But really, any surround sound set of headphones that has an Optical cable input (like this set) would work with this tv or most other larger flatscreen tv's (above the 17-30" range).

I useSennheiser wireless headphones purchased at Radio Shack for $99. Once tuning is set, they work great and pay for themselves. My TV isn't Bluetooth capable otherwise I'd be set with the Vizio wireless headphones. Hope this helps.

Has anyone played games on it?I just bit the bullet and bought the Samsung LN40A550 based on reviews. (Got ps3 for blue ray discs and I watch A LOT of movies.) I also like to play FPS and other games with a lot of movement and action. Has anyone noticed any sort of ghosting or blurring when they play games on it? Bad thing to wonder about AFTER I buy the tv, but I'm sure it'll still be worth it when I see my movies in a new-1080p-light.

If your TV supports Bluetooth, than the Create headset should work without a problem. Bluethooth-Standard is everywhere the same!

The USB Headset is now ,the wireless is still on pre order. Was hoping for a release date on the Wireless and you can or I can only pre order thru Amazon at this time for the ones I would like get. Thank you for the info on the USB headset tho, may have to go with thise instead.

Yes, I have a fairly new TV and it works fine. However, after 9 months the headset failed to charge, so I returned it (it was under warranty) and they sent me a new one right away. Good service, and good communication.

Did you ever find one a bluetooth or headset that works? I am having a similar problem. My ears and canals are small, so nothing seems to stay on my ear. I was thinking about trying a bluetooth that has headphones that go over your head or behind your neck, have you tried this type? I agree that they need to make these child size as well!

How would you compare the Sony KDL-XBR6 with the Samsung LN32A650? I'm not too crazy about Samsung's so-called Touch of Color Design (TM) for its bezel (amber/black), however. But I'd like to know which model should I buy for my daughter's birthday. She lives in an apartment in Chicago.Thanks.Len Bloom

I'm a little confused myself. There are people who say this headset is awesome. My question is, how the hell did they get it? I thought it's been already released but not for sale from Logitech website? Are they saying when the release date is?

The "BT" in the glasses means these ones connect to the TV over Bluetooth. I believe all the newer Sony TVs use glasses that connect via infared, which would be a "BR" in the model name of glasses.

You can buy the KDL-46Z4100 from Sony for $1,799.99 -- free delivery. What's with Amazon?http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10551&storeId=10151&langId;=-1&productId;=8198552921665411950

Thank You both so much!!! I FINALLY figured it out. I had to plug the wireless grey box into the BACK of the TV and not into the connection panel on the front of the tv. Geez! For non tech savvy people like myself, the company could be a bit more detailed about where to plug it into on a tv. Like most big screen tv's, there are quite a few places on both front and back to plug into. Thanks again for your input!

Again, buyer beware and do your research. This issue has confused a lot of people who expected the XBR series to continue with this feature into the next model year. This is also why the xbr4 costs generally more than the xbr6 in the same size. (For those interested in 120hz, be darned sure to read the fine print if you are looking at LG's Scarlets: 120hz is NOT available in all size models.) Amazon should set a high standard for website shopping and correct the info in their Sony chart. That kind of reliability and integrity would attract more customers who do not want to spend hours bouncing from site to site trying to confirm info at less reliable sites.

We have a Sony Sony KDL-52XBR9 that we are trying to run wireless for computer and internet connection.We want to wirelessly connect a laptop to the TV so we can use the Sony's screen as the large display.We have a Cisco Linksys-N Broadband router, model WRT-160N V3.We have tried (2) Sony usb dongles, UWA-BR100. The TV replies with, "... this wireless usb device is not compatible with this tv..."Is there a way to connect this TV wirelessly to our router? If yes, please provide details.Thanks - BAW

The speakers are inevitably tiny. You could either get a surround sound that is optic fibre capable, or adjust your sound to "good enough". Let me give you a run down of how audio works on the tv. Treble is your high notes, bass is your low notes, and mids is more highs for this certain tv. There is an option for bass boost, you will want that. One of the things I'm glad i did(i live alone) is buy a wireless headset. Razer, or turtle beach makes a very...very nice set. They are 100$+ because its a 7.1 surround wrapped around your head. So if you watch tv alone, its worth getting. Other than that, with the adjustments i explained to you, have at it. If you need anymore assistance let me know! :)

Interesting comments. If the wiki article is right, TCL isn't such a "no name" brand after all - I live in the midwest and I have heard of RCA. They were a lot bigger in the days when tube tv's were really big, they sorta got quiet in the LCD/plasma revolution. But anyway, if TCL == RCA, I might end up choosing this TV. Target & BB have a Samsung this size on Black Fri for 328$, and it looks like Toshibas and Samsungs this size in general are the deal at 320ish this year - an extra fifty bucks off for the TCL is almost enough for a bluray player to go with it on Black Fri (yep, really). =) Interesting comments.
