I think my question is answered in the reviews, but I will ask anyway in my own words. I bought the Razer Electra headphones to use when watching movies. I watch movies on 3 devices....Sony television, Samsung television and my PC. On my PC I can adjust the volume, but on the TV's there is one level of sound that I cannot adjust and it is just too loud. Can I use these successfully on my TV's and have volume control? I like my headphones and really don't want to return them, but volume control is a deal breaker for me. Hope you guys can help.

I bought this cord because I have headsets with no volume control and it was my solution. Good luck!

I have a Samsung tv also, and I use the extension with my headphones so I can adjust the volume. so yes, it works great!

I have been pleased to be able to adjust the volume on the headphone extension as I listen to my TV programs. I found it helpful to also have a stereo and mono setting as well (sometimes the mono setting is preferable for hearing speech vs. some very loud sound effects).

Best thing I ever bought! Yes is the answer to ur question. I have the same problem before I bought this item. I have the boss headphone. It works great on phone or other portable device were u could adjust the volume but when I plug it on my TV is just to loud. Now With this cord with volume control I could watch tv as loud as I want too with out disturbing people around me. Truste me it works, I own this item for about 6+months now with no issues.

Turn your tv down low. Max out the extension volume. Now adjust tv volume a little louder than you like andremember this tv volume. Back extension volume down to where you like it. Now next time you want to useuse headphones, turn extension down low, set tv to remembered tv volume and now increase extension volumeto desired volume.

You should be able to adjust the sound with this item. I have a Samsung tv and Bose headphones and am able to adjust the volume to any desired level. make sure the volume all the way down on the tv without muting it.

My husband uses his because he can not hear the deep tones on the TV. This definitely helps. The sound is not stereo, but acceptable. It sure beats having to blast the TV so he can hear. I used to wear ear plugs and could still hear the TV. There is rarely any lag in receiving the sound, which is a huge plus. The biggest downfall of this is there is no remote to adjust the sound. It is located next to my husbands recliner, so I have to get up to adjust the sound if he is not sitting there. At that point, I usually just turn it off and listen through the TV speakers.

I purchased mine a while ago and I mostly use it for my iPod and my laptop, for movies and online streaming of shows. I think the sound resolution is great. The bass is not overpowering, and the sound is rich. The ear-pads sit well on your ears and are not painful, so you don't end up with something compressing your head. In addition, what I mostly like about these headphones is that once you put them on, it diminishes outside noise. Even better. So to answer your question, then yes: this product is great for listening to music at home. Plus it comes with its own bag. Bonus:)I hope this review was helpful.

Not that bad, at least for me. I usually don't listen music too loud, unless it has powerful bass and so far no one has complaint about loud music coming from the Razer Electra. Plus, they sound amazing even at high volume levels

I have been using head sets for 15 years. These are the best I have used in this price range. When I am watching TV by myself I turn the sound off on the TV and set the volume on my headset. I do not disturb any one. When I watch TV with my husband or someone else I adjust the volume to my liking on the headset and they turn the volume on the TV to where they want it. The only problem I have is while I am using the headset I can not hear anything else outside the TV. ( no phone, doorbell or anyone talking.) Dolores

I had not used that option but have now tested. Headphones work fine and the output to the RCA jacks is not interrupted when the 3.5 mm jack is in use. Something to keep in mind -- there is no volume control on the decoder. The SPDIF output from the TV is probably not controlled either. Unless your headphone has an integrated volume control the result may be uncomfortable. I checked off air vs. DVD on my TV. Off air came out with a moderate volume on my headphones where as DVD was pretty loud during some passages. Depending on your personal preferences it is possible that some audio could actually be too low in volume. I had not used that option but have now tested.

It's hard to describe in words how the mic control works in words, I recommend watching a YouTube vid to see the part of the headset control where you plug in the headphones and 2.5mm cable. If you got this headset I believe you could use your monster headphones with the mic control or use the slyrs.

Read the details. for whatever youre looking at. There are bluetooth pieces like this that act either or, you juust have to be careful and read the details welli have one thats hooked up to my tv as a transmitter so i can hear it at night thru bluetooth headphones when my girl is trying to sleep and i want to watch tv and then i also have one that acts as a receiver on a speaker so i can bluetooth my phone and listen to music. They are very useful so long as you get the right one when that youre trying to get. you can also keep them plugged up so long as you have a ready and able power plug available to whereever you plan to use it GOOD LUCK Read the details. for whatever youre looking at.

I use them, and love them, from my computer. They have sound levels on them but they also respond to sound increases/decreases made from the computer provided that I connect by bluetooth or 3.5 jack. With an optical connection they do not. There is a slight delay when using bluetooth which is fine for music but not for watching tv on the computer.

It's a little annoying, but go into your game or Netflix settings for volume control. There you can adjust all sfx and volume settings. It's not perfect, but it beats purchasing a $100 headphone amp.

You use the volume control on what ever device you are using the headphones with. Laptop, CD player, DVD player. I have had mine about a month now and like them.

I usually have my volume control set between 10 [night]-15 [day]. I tried pushing the volume up as high as it would go, but I couldn't stand it any higher than 20. The little volume bar looked like it would go up to 100. As far as closed captioning goes, it works fine on TV. It doesn't seem to work for me on Amazon Prime movies or TV unless they are foreign movies. I was watching the Damages series and couldn't get any captions, for instance.

well I got mine for kids, so I am happy with the lower volume but I give them headphones and they are happy with it, I use it to interact with my tv and play things on there so volume is not an issue there either. Sorry this really is of no help if your volume is too low for you.

We have a PS4 hooked up to our TV, onkyo receiver, and surround sound system and these work well to watch blu-ray movies on our ps4, but the moment we plug the wireless headphone jack into the front of the Onkyo receiver, it cuts the sound running to everything else. I do not know if that is a setting in the receiver that can be changed, as we bought these to watch TV and play games while our newborn was sleeping, and having the sound cut off is what we wanted. Don't do what I did and buy this supplemental/extra headset first; it does not come with the wireless transmitter and cords, so it is worthless unless you have another one at home already.

The Razer Kraken works and this one should soon with a patch. It currently does not export sound to the headset but the mic works fine. It works awesome with a PC tho and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a quality headset. Caution it is wired and a bit short for my TV -> couch. The module is also 1/2 down the cord and pulls it down.Overall a great head set and no problems after 2 years.Reference: http://community.us.playstation.com/t5/PlayStation-Peripherals-Support/7-1-Razer-Megalodon-headset-anyone-gotten-anything-but-the-mic/td-p/42581223 The Razer Kraken works and this one should soon with a patch.

i can only speak about my sony tv as i know nothing of rca tv sets. on my set, i can adjust the tv's own volume and i can adjust the coby's volume, there is a great deal of overlap. but better results are obtained when i turn off the tv set's own speakers and just let the coby work by itself. it also works a lot better if you make sure there is only bare wall an equal distance away on both the left and right sides of your tv set, with no furniture or curtains to muffle the reflected sound of the coby unit's side-firing surround speakers, it makes a HUGE difference in fact in perceived stereo soundstage width. hope this helps. :) i can only speak about my sony tv as i know nothing of rca tv sets. on my set, i can adjust the tv's own volume and i can adjust the coby's volume, there is a great deal of overlap. but better results are obtained when i turn off the tv set's own speakers and just let the coby work by itself. it also works a lot better if you make sure there is only bare wall an equal distance away on both the left and right sides of your tv set, with no furniture or curtains to muffle the reflected sound of the coby unit's side-firing surround speakers, it makes a HUGE difference in fact in perceived... » Read More i can only speak about my sony tv as i know nothing of rca tv sets. on my set, i can adjust the tv's own volume and i can adjust the coby's volume, there is a great deal of overlap. but better results are obtained when i turn off the tv set's own speakers and just let the coby work by itself. it also works a lot better if you make sure there is only bare wall an equal distance away on both the left and right sides of your tv set, with no furniture or curtains to muffle the reflected sound of the coby unit's side-firing surround speakers, it makes a HUGE difference in fact in perceived stereo soundstage width. hope this helps. :) « Show Less

During normal non-gaming use, I barely know it is on. When I play a simple online game (Runescape) it really revs up and gets quite loud for me. Sometimes I would rather not play then to have the noise. But then again, I've been told my ears are quite sensitive.
