Does anyone know what kind of headphones you might be able to hook up to the TV or if you even can? My grandmother has this TV & cannot hear it?

The VIZIO manual shows no provisions for a headphone jack. I myself have hearing difficulties and when the wife wants to sleep I switch to wireless type headphones. These utilize the RCA phono output jacks. A hardwired set of direct connection headphones is incompatible to the TV set.

This TV has both component audio-video outs ad simple RCA audio outs. I imagine that any wireless headphones that utilize left right audio RCA outs in conjunction with their transmitter should work.

Hi,Try turning up the tv volume (if you can control the tv's speakers to shut them off) and lowering the volume setting on the headphones.I've found that this approach decreases background noise.Michael

To Ann Hansen, Unfortunately, there appears to be NO headphone jack on this TV. I just checked my own. From John Nozum

You need to take the audio cable from the head phones and bring it to Radio Shack. Ask for the audio adopter for TV.

There appears to be an earphone jack at the rear of the TV. I connected my earphone plug, but no sound came through to the earphone. I have a Vizio 26" E260MV which has an earphone jack to the rear of the TV. The sound is better than what you get through the speakers.

No problem Pen Name. Yeah, through all that techno babble, it still isn't clear whether it has a headphone jack. How I knew it might have one is when I downloaded the pdf manual for this TV from the website. In the manual it shows the back connections.It says it has a "AUDIO IN (RGB/DVI)1/8" (0.32 cm) headphone jack for analog PCaudio input."I'm not sure if that's what you all are looking for.

try this with your TV.......http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00713RSE0/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&p;sc=1 That's what I use with bluetooth headphones so I don't disturb my neighbors in my apartment.

Okay...we went to a big box store, looked at the LG television and talked with a saleswoman who did seem to know her electronics. Unfortunately, there is no built-in headphone jack for audio out and there are no analog audio outputs. There is only a digital optical output. She did not think that there would be a possibility to find a headphone set that would use this set up except for some that are $100's of dollars. So, no go there for us. However, as an alternative, my spouse suggests these: You could send the optical signal to a compatible hi-fi. If the hi-fi doesn't have optical input, but has co-axial digital input, you can use a $20 converter. Your other option is to get a digital-to-analog converter which is at least $50. Then either use headphones that have an amplifier or output to amplified computer speakers which have a headphone port. Perhaps you could do more research than he has done. Best of luck with your choice. Thanks, Vee, for your enthusiasm with this television.

There is no headphone jack. I also consulted the user guide, and I don't see any way to use headphones with this TV.

if you are on cable or satellite, be sure the headphone transmitter is hooked up to the cable box or satellite receiver and not into your TV. Hopefully this will help.

I had the exact same problem with this tv. I eventually just muted the TV speakers and ran the sound exclusively through some external speakers that I have. That solved my problem.

Yes, everyone else can still hear the TV at their level of volume, while a person hard of hearing uses the headphones. When my dad, who is completely deaf in one ear and going deaf in the other, wheres these headphones, we're able to have the volume to half the level my dad would need it to hear. There is a separate volume control on the headphones themselves, that the wearer can use to adjust the volume. Also, my dad has the transmitter behind the TV, and still works great.

What do you suggest to improve the sound? I just ordered the TV - don't want to raise the roof or anything but don't want the sound to not match the picture. Thanks.

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

Actually, just buying a decent pair of headphones would be a better solution. TV ears are meant for helping the hard-of-hearing when others are also watching the TV. Just plug in headphones, and this should turn the speakers off, and you'll get a much better quality of sound out of the headphones than the TV ears. Also, headphones are much cheaper than TV ears.

I am glad to help if I can. I am an old man, so I understand the frustration. Also that is why I keep correcting myself -- too many mistakes these days.Here are a couple of other ideas at Amazon, using the TV adapter, but plugging the red and white cables into a 3.5mm headphone jack:3.5mm Male to RCA Female - 6 inchC2G / Cables to Go 40645 3.5mm Stereo Male To 2X RCA Female Adapter

yeah, my smart tv has a headphone connection, i use an extension 3.5mm 6 foot cable and the amp. Its way too low without the amp turned up all the way. Computer doesnt need amp since I have one for it too.
