Will this digital to optical converter work for wireless headphones with male RCA plugs?

Yes. That is what we purchased it for. We have Sennheiser HDR120 wireless headphones that where attached to our old TV via male RCA connections. When we replaced it with a flat screen TV, we found that the only audio out was optical. This device allowed us to use the wireless headphones on the new TV.

If your question is will the TRANSMITTER, for my wireless headphones, work with this unit - the answer would be YES... If, however, you are trying to plug your HEADPHONES directly into the converter my answer to you would be a resounding NO... I have NOT had one minutes worth of trouble with this unit - over a year... I plug the digital audio out of my TV to my Denon Preamp and VIOLA my TV is fully integrated into my home entertainment system!

I bought this converter, and connected to small speakers. This worked for me for a while, but now even with help for Gefen, i can't get this set up to work. Now i feel like i have wasted money buying this device from Gefen and Amazon.

That looks like what I have. I plug an optical plug from my Apple TV to that device but, in my case, then run analog from that to an Smart Board. I would assume, with the right cable connection, you could make it work with headphones. I will tell you that sometimes I've failed to get sound. As I recall, it has always been when reconnecting. Each time I unplugged and replugged in each connecting element and it would work.

Yes. I have wireless Sennheiser headphones that I use while watching TV to help me understand the dialogue. Actually it is a stereo TV assisted listening system. (Set 830-TV). The Digital audio (Optical) out of the back of my TV, hooks to Gefen Digital to Analog converter. The L and R RCA plugs from wireless headphone base station plugs into the opposite side of the Gefen. It works fine.

The input cable is hard wired and about 6' (2M) long and ends in a 3.5mm male headphone jack. (Standard small headphone jack) Would work with anything that has a female 3.5mm socket. (Most music players) An RCA to 3.5mm female would allow connection to most TVs or CD players.

If you are talking about normal stereo headphones, not without an adapter. The signal outputs to analog RCA-style outputs (those red and white circles). You'd need an adapter that converts that to a 1/4" or 1/8" plug, depending on what kind of plug your headphones use. (1/4" is the "fatter" plug you sometimes see on expensive headphones, 1/8" or 3.5mm is the smaller plug most headphones use.) As an example of what I'm talking about, look on Amazon for "YCS Basics 1 foot color coded 3.5mm female to two RCA male adapter cable". You'll need something like that.

No, you will need a product that converts coaxial output to optical input, C2G / Cables to Go 40018 Coaxial to Optical Digital Audio Converter (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002J2MV4/ref=cm_cd_asin_lnk)

I agree with J. Tomkins, if it has the RCA jacks I don't see why it wouldn't work.

The FiiO D3 Digital to Analog converter does work since my Vizio LED TV only has a digital output. I use it for my wireless stereo headphone set since my wife does not like a loud TV and gives good quality sound.

Yes using an external converter ir DAC. From optical optical to 3.5mm or phono out to your headphones.

Hello Erwin, I'm not sure but as far as I know this cable (RCA) is analog and you are not going to be able to convert the signal from analog to digital signal (optical cable) without a converter. Hopefully this will help you. Later man.

It should, as I am using it to hook up a stereo headset to my Xbox One. Optical out from my Xbox and in to the converter and then headset plugged in to the red and white on the converter.

I bought mine for this purpose, but it didn't work. I think the problem was an unreliable part. Further research showed that this type of adapter can work, but may damage the equipment or degrade the sound. For more info on converting a stereo line level output to a mono output, Google "Why Not Wye" (yes, Wye), and follow the link to the Rane Corporation's article on this topic.

I'm sorry, I don't know if it will work with that. I had problems with this converter working at all; the plugs (both the male and female) seem to be flimsy because I could wiggle them and get it to sort of work. I was sorely disappointed in this product.

nope -- but you can get an adapter from monoprice.com for about twelve dollars -- search for Optical "Toslink to Coaxial (RCA) Digital Audio Converter", product id no 2948Hope this helps

I do not think that will work... Digital audio rca cannot be split and input into the analog red and white on your receiver.

Answer number 2 is exactly what I would do. Adapter from RCA analog to Digital optical. I have a Sony 200 disc cd player but lucky for me it has an optical out jack.

It is my understanding that this device, and I have no reason to doubt it, will convert a digital signal to a 'conventional' signal which is needed for some of our older devices that do not accept 'digital' signal ... I would say this would work for you if your cable device emits 'digital' sound outputs and you want to hook up this to a sound bar etc., that does not accept a digital signal ... works great for me!

Yes, you need to buy an optical to RCA converter as I did... http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BVT4M30/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
