can these solve your late-night TV blues
0:02
let's find out Dave Taylor here and this
0:12
time I'm talking about late night
0:14
television you know what it's like you
0:17
want to watch a movie late into the
0:18
night everyone else is asleep maybe you
0:21
share your bed with someone and they
0:23
want to sleep and you want to catch the
0:25
Late Show this is a real pain and
0:27
someone ends up having to give they have
0:30
to listen when they don't want to or if
0:32
you actually need it to be louder then
0:35
your friends or partner or other people
0:37
in your house that could be really
0:39
annoying too because they end up having
0:40
to listen to it's super loud even though
0:43
they prefer to be softer enter these
0:46
these are the mono deal wireless TV
0:49
headphones and they're pretty cool
0:51
actually
0:51
so it's an RF frequency wireless
0:55
headphone system and it's pretty nice
0:57
because it's basically like having a
1:00
bluetooth headphone except it's not
1:02
bluetooth you don't have to hassle with
1:04
it and it comes with a charging base
1:06
that also is what plugs right into your
1:08
TV and to charge it notice the light in
1:11
the front all I have to do is get it to
1:14
be sitting in there properly and boom
1:16
now it's charging again when it's fully
1:19
charged it has a 25 hour runtime on the
1:22
headphones so you might be watching an
1:25
entire Netflix marathon you're still
1:27
good to go
1:28
although hopefully somewhere along the
1:29
way you're gonna take at least a few
1:31
minutes off but 25 hours plenty of time
1:34
more importantly they have zero latency
1:36
and that's really important because you
1:38
don't want to just use regular bluetooth
1:41
headphones and plug in a little
1:43
Bluetooth transmitter on your television
1:45
because you'll get delays of you know
1:48
tens or hundreds of milliseconds and
1:50
then things will get out of sync sort of
1:52
like this where you hear the voice but
1:54
the lips don't quite line up ooh that
1:56
was weird wasn't it so you don't want
1:59
that and so zero latency is super
2:01
important with this sort of thing now
2:03
what else can I tell you about it is if
2:05
we look on the back it actually has a
2:07
little switch and the switch gives you a
2:09
choice of three different channels so if
2:12
you're finding you have inner
2:13
farrance you can try a different channel
2:15
and they're actually a fair number of
2:17
controls on the headphones themselves on
2:19
the right one is you have the on/off
2:22
switch which makes sense and on the left
2:25
one there's a button that basically has
2:27
it automatically find which channel is
2:30
actively working so you don't have to
2:32
actually do the switches here which is
2:34
nice and then there's and this is the
2:36
big one of volume control now doesn't
2:39
seem like such a big deal but the
2:40
headphones themselves you can adjust the
2:43
volume this means if you want to hear
2:45
something really nice and big and loud
2:47
and full and all that great you know
2:50
sound you get from a modern action movie
2:53
and everyone else in the house wants it
2:54
to be really soft but they still want to
2:56
watch it you can do both simultaneously
2:58
most TVs run out the speaker and they
3:02
actually have the audio out
3:03
simultaneously now on my vizio I can
3:07
actually turn the TV speaker to zero and
3:10
that's what I do late at night when my
3:11
kids are sleeping or trying to go to
3:13
sleep I don't want them to be distracted
3:16
by the sound of my television show so I
3:18
wear these and it works great so while
3:21
they're on it's very easy for me to just
3:23
adjust the volume up and down to get
3:26
just the experience that I want so very
3:30
nice now one more thing about these is
3:33
on the end the part that you plug into
3:36
your television is just your regular 3.5
3:39
millimeter audio jack which means you
3:42
can plug this into other things you can
3:44
plug this into a computer you can plug
3:46
this into your stereo or your smartphone
3:48
so you know I'm not sure how it would
3:51
work with your smartphone since it's a
3:52
small screen but you could certainly
3:54
listen to music and then boom now it's
3:56
like wireless headphones and they
3:58
actually sound pretty good I have to say
4:00
that these are not necessarily optimized
4:03
for speaking they're actually a full
4:04
audio headphones so when you are
4:07
watching a movie and there's that great
4:09
soundtrack they sound really good now if
4:11
that's not the plug you have it also
4:13
comes with a dual RCA adapter and that's
4:17
pretty handy because you can just plug
4:18
it into the end and then plug that into
4:21
your TV again on my TV I have audio out
4:25
left and right
4:27
so this is what I do plugs into this
4:29
that plugs into this device and I'm good
4:32
to go and this just sits on the side of
4:33
my TV now the only thing I want to say
4:36
about it and actually before I get there
4:38
can you go ahead and click on that
4:40
subscribe button thank you really
4:42
appreciate that now the only limitation
4:44
I found with this is that it's pretty
4:46
sensitive where you put the base I had
4:49
the base initially right in front of my
4:51
Amazon Alexa echo unit and my Google
4:54
home I have them right next to each
4:56
other so they can compete and it picked
4:58
up a lot of interference and it was
5:00
really frustrating because like for five
5:02
or ten minutes it would work fine and
5:04
then it would just sort of decay and to
5:06
clicking and static and everything and I
5:08
thought hmm I think I have a bum unit
5:10
but then I took the same base and just
5:13
moved it to the other side of my TV
5:15
where there aren't any other devices it
5:18
works great and it works like for hours
5:21
and hours without any interference or
5:23
anything and what's nice is that it's a
5:25
little disconcerting but you can wear
5:27
these and you can walk around your house
5:28
they actually have a pretty decent range
5:30
so I can go into the kitchen and get a
5:33
cup of tea or something and the whole
5:35
time I'm listening to the TV show even
5:37
if I'm not necessarily looking at it now
5:39
it works out pretty nicely now what else
5:42
gonna tell you forty millimeter drivers
5:44
in the headphones so again pretty decent
5:47
sound pay attention to where you place
5:49
it and that's about all I got
5:52
I really like these these are in play I
5:54
am using these every night now and I
5:57
really like them
5:58
and so the only question left is cuanto
6:01
dinero how much and the answer for that
6:04
is that they're $89.99 at amazon.com now
6:08
there are less expensive headphones but
6:10
the whole package here it's really
6:12
designed to work with your television
6:14
and that's pretty nice
6:16
so I say check these out the mono deal
6:19
wireless TV headphones this is Dave
6:21
Taylor and I'll catch you in my next
