Super comfortable wireless headphones designed for TV. Let's check these out
0:11
Dave Taylor here and I got my TV set up. I'm ready to watch a movie but I want to listen to it at a
0:18
fairly good volume and it's going to get late into the night and I don't want to bother everybody
0:23
So this is a common scenario. In fact there are a lot of situations where the volume on the TV
0:30
or the sound bar is at one level and that's just not sufficient for you and you want to have it be
0:36
a little louder but everyone else says no that's too loud. Enter this. This is so cool. This is the
0:43
Simoleo wireless TV headphone with three in one base and you'll notice that it has the little
0:49
earbuds hanging out because you basically wear this over your neck and then just slip the earbuds
0:55
in and you're ready to go with your own private TV listening experience and all I've done is I've
1:02
taken the base and I've plugged it into the audio out on the back of my TV here and in some
1:09
situations you only have one audio out and you might already have a sound bar or something. So
1:14
one of the things Simoleo does is they have pass-through audio so you can actually have this
1:20
in line with the sound bar for example. So everything has its own independent volume which
1:26
means that you can get your headphones at this volume and the sound bar or the TV or the external
1:32
speakers are at this lower volume. So everyone wins. Everyone's happy. So on the input side I'll give you
1:39
a close-up of what's going on on the back of the unit. On the input there is an optical input and
1:44
this is what's known as TOS link or S-P-D-I-F. There's an RCA or AUX as connections and you're
1:52
thinking I don't see RCA here and the answer is that it includes a cable and that cable has RCA
1:58
connectors on one end and a 3.5 millimeter on the other which is basically your AUX right. So on
2:06
older TVs this is how it wants an external speaker plugged in and you can still plug it into these
2:12
and then you could also use optical which is the cable with the sort of weird little ends on it
2:17
but this is the best possible audio quality. If you can use this from your TV to the stand that's
2:23
the way to do it. But it comes with all these cables. In fact it's rather daunting. It comes
2:28
with a lot of cables. Also comes with two micro USB cables. Comes with spare ear tips of different
2:35
sizes to make sure you get the best possible fit. And the model I have comes with yes a second
2:43
headphone so you and your partner can listen to TV at entirely different volumes with the TV itself
2:52
either having the speaker off or having the speaker turned a lot lower. It's ideal really so
2:57
there's so much range and it's all very slick the way they've designed it. So if you look on the side
3:04
on one side there's a battery and the battery is removable and what's great about that is that
3:11
there's actually a secret spot on the base where there's an extra battery that's always charging
3:17
So if you're halfway through your grand epic movie and your headphones die you just switch
3:24
out batteries and then you have another seven hours per charge. Then on the other side there's
3:30
an on off button and then there's also left right balance so you can adjust that and of course
3:36
there's a volume control so you can slide that volume up or down to make it louder or softer
3:43
Super easy to work with. Let's see where was I here. I think I was actually watching a movie
3:48
Let's see if it goes back to it. Yeah okay. So now again I can just start the movie. Let's
3:56
get that back going. Maybe. Well we're not going to worry about the movie side of it because
4:05
it's really all about the audio here and then we have the headphones and everything and then there
4:10
are more controls on the base and one of the things is the base has these tiny little lights
4:15
that give you reinforcement of this is plugged in, this is charged, this is turned on because you have
4:22
two things you have to turn on for it to work. So not only do you need to give it power and I
4:27
obviously have it plugged in here it's just a simple USB connection but it comes with even
4:34
the wall plug and everything so it's really everything you'll possibly need and then on one
4:39
side there is treble, normal and bass for tone so if you're a little low on the treble side or you
4:47
want to be able to have better voice for example you can set it to treble and then you can turn
4:53
stereo or mono or here's the on off switch so if you slide it all the way over then it's off so
5:00
obviously that's important to know and those are all the controls so it's not like it's going to
5:05
take you hours to figure out it's just super easy to work with put them in put the earbuds in and
5:12
then just go to your program and watch whatever it is you want to watch or you know choose from
5:20
whatever whatever's on your tv you could even use this for computer gaming now here's another
5:25
really important thing is it uses 2.4 gigahertz communication so it's not bluetooth why is that
5:32
important because it doesn't have any latency at all the problem with a lot of these bluetooth
5:37
headsets that they have for tvs is that there's a delay it might be 80 milliseconds 200 milliseconds
5:44
whatever it is what happens is the sound is out of sync with the lip movement of the characters in
5:51
the film or the tv show that you're watching and it's super frustrating so this has totally
5:57
sidestepped that by using 2.4 gigahertz which is great tiny cautionary note if you have a pacemaker
6:03
they have a different product designed for you you'll want to do that research but for everyone
6:08
else this is a great solution it gives you a hundred foot range even through walls so you
6:14
can be outside and taking you know checking on the dog or something and still be listening to
6:19
your tv show as it's playing so really a remarkable piece of technology and what else can i tell you
6:25
so there's that pass-through audio technology it does that voice highlighting if you change it to
6:31
on that the tone to treble it will actually extenuate the voice so this is such a common
6:38
thing in the way that they mix modern content is that it's really hard to hear and understand what
6:43
people are saying these can help with that these will actually give you more legible audio which
6:49
is fantastic so really not much else to talk about it has a nice user manual and even a quick reference
6:57
a quick guide to make sure you get going quickly but you know it's really something where you just
7:03
figure out what the audio out of your tv is plug this into it and then put your headphones on
7:10
there's no pairing involved there's no hassle when i put these on the stand they are charging
7:16
and then all i have to do is make sure my headphones are turned on and then make sure the
7:20
bass is turned on and that's literally everything i'm ready to go and i can change my eartips for
7:26
better comfort and i'm ready to watch tv or watch a movie or do whatever it is i want to do
7:33
without bothering anybody at all and there's a lot of value to that honestly you don't need to
7:38
have grandma living in the house with you for this to be something of great value especially
7:43
