It is no secret that the built-in speakers on televisions nowadays are not exactly great. So much work has been done to increase the quality of the picture on these sets with improved colors, contrast, and resolution, plus TVs continue to get thinner and thinner. Excellent work has been done on that front, but in the process, the speakers themselves have taken a hit, resulting in people having to purchase external devices to properly hear the movies and shows they watch. For many, that means soundbars or surround sound systems, but for others, they have taken to watching their televisions with wireless headphones.

The concept may seem a little strange at first, but wearing headphones for TV watching can be extremely helpful in a number of situations. The most basic is that it improves the poor sound quality of TV speakers probably pointed in the direction opposite of you or being muffled by a wall, but the benefits go beyond that. If you are someone who lives in an apartment building with thin walls, likes to watch TV late at night, or have any other reason that requires you to keep noise levels down, wearing headphones solves all of these issues. If you’re hard of hearing, it can also be a lot easier to hear the TV with headphones.
Luckily, there are many headphone options out there for you to wirelessly connect to your television. However, they aren’t all created equal. Let’s break down six of the best options on the market, all of which were chosen based on technical specs and features and reviews from many different publications.
