Our top pick: Sennheiser RS 255 TV Headphones + Transmitter Bundle — scene composed from the manufacturer’s product image.

When the TV creeps louder every month and phone calls turn into guesswork, the fix is sound brought closer to the one person who needs it.

Before you choose TV and phone listening

  • Turn it up for one person, not the whole room. TV headphones with their own transmitter let one listener raise the volume while the TV stays at a normal level for everyone else.
  • Check how it connects to your TV. Look at which audio outputs the TV has before you buy, and match the headphones to one of them.
  • For the phone, look for a volume boost. An amplified phone makes the caller louder, and some can slow a fast talker down.
