Is there something better that will last. I’m retired and on a fixed budget. Why buy something that is not comfortable and will break after a few months? Please recommend a better product that is reliable. Thank you.

Got TVA Ears as Xmas gift. Had to buy DAC converter for LCD TV. Hooked everything up–doesn’t work. Called tech support, no clue. Called Samsung TV tech who says headset no good. BUT, digital connection indicator light does not illuminate on DAC. So far NOT impressed. We’re into this now for nearly $200 and now have only junk!!

After 3 years and 3 pair I am finally looking for something else. They work beautifully sound wise, but they are uncomfortable and the arms break. I have two I am trying to fix with glue right now…

The ear cushions lasted almost 10 days. New ones were priced at rip-off prices. So, I used it without the cushions. Then the batteries went dead. Another excess price. So I threw mine in the trash. Let the buyer beware. Or as Barnum said. There is ma fool born every minute.

TVears only seem to work with analogue audio outlets. My TV hasn’t got these (has anyones…I thought they went out years ago) You get to know this only after you have bought the product. There is no way I am going to buy the converter kit…what a con!

Recd.TV ears yesterday,I’m returning them today. Followed the instructions to the letter, after charging for double the required time I tried them. I got no receiption over three feet away from the transmitter.
Tried TV ears on another set with the same results.
Called tech. services and was on hold forever and gave up.
I really wanted them to work, but was let down.

Like other reviewers whose comments I have read here, I have today ordered my third transmitter in about two years. Though the company sells them at a discount, I still have to pay for it. The only explanation the company rep would give me over the phone was: “Well, they’re warrantied for 90 days.” Such a deal!

I have been thinking about buying a set until I read the comments on this page. I think I am going to take a look at wireless earphones from future shop.

I do not own a pair and do not think I ever will, I think they look ridiculous, why not make them in a small headset format? I have a pair of 2.4 ghz radio shack 33-1253s that worked great looked okay (behind the neck on the ear) and are comfortable. Unfortunately they batteries are wearing out and the product is discontinued. I tried bluetooth devices but there is a large delay resulting in lip sync issue. All other wireless headphone I have found are big and bulky (not sure why with todays miniaturization) and totally cover the ears so I cannot hear anything else going on around me. Anyone know a good light weight headphones that don’t totally cover the ears, please post it hear thanks

Tv ears are one of the better products for what they do. They do not stand up to a great deal of abuse, but we have found them to be a reliable product. They offer several models and we have not seen much need to recommend more than the basic model, unless you need receivers for two people. Star key has recently introduced the new Wi series of aids. These have an accessory that.allows the hearing aid to couple directly into the tv or other audio device, there is nothing to break with that system, but it is a several hundred dollar addition to the hearing aid. Works great though! Several other companies have introduced neck loops and other devices that do a similar function on, but to the best of our knowledge, star key is the only one that does not have added pieces that could get lost.
