Review on SIMOLIO 100 ft Long-Distance Wireless TV Headphones: Enhanced TV Listening for Hearing Impaired and Seniors - SM-823D Pro by Renee Johnson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Doesn't work with sonar or booster

I've been trying this for hours. It works with the TV's internal speaker, but not when the soundbar is active. So everyone else in the room has to put up with poor sound quality. It doesn't work with the TV and the external speakers work through the amplifier. The manufacturer contacted me based on my previous one star rating and tried to help. The main problem is that the Samsung soundbar should be connected to the Samsung TV with an optical cable, but it is not. Eventually I saw that DirecTV's set top box had an RCA output and Simolio worked with that. The sound quality is good. Still can't use it with streaming services like Netflix. On the second review, I increased my rating to 4 stars. I can use it on a treadmill or stationary bike and avoid the very loud levels used with speakers in the past. The Samsung soundbar doesn't even let you plug in an optical cable - so that's bad for Samsung. Can't give 5 stars because the receiver disconnects from the mains every time I plug it into the RCA outputs on the receiver/amplifier. Thankfully it didn't destroy the receiver, but I won't try again.

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Not sure
