Review on Power Acoustik Farenheit HP-22IRT Single Channel 🎧 Infrared Wireless Headphones with Transmitter and Swivel Ear Pads by Jeff Morris

It works for a TV or computer, but you need to add a power adapter!

This is a good article HOWEVER you can make it work for TV or PC. He has a big problem, he doesn't come with a power adapter for the transmitter. It seems set up as a car accessory with 12 volt cables to connect to your car's audio system. You will need a 12 volt power supply and a way to connect it to the bare wires coming from the transmitter. I stopped at Radio Shack and bought a 1.5 amp 12 volt DC power supply that came in the original box and could be used at home. Then I bought a termination at the end to attach bare wires marked plus and minus and DC 12V in unclear directions. I assembled everything and matched the polarity and it worked. There are also red and white stereo jacks leading out of the transmitter. So if you think you're going to plug it directly into your laptop's audio jack, TV, or headphone jack, you're wrong. You'll need an audio cable and an adapter for your 1/8" jack. All things considered, you probably have some of these essentials at home, but you'll probably spend around $40 on the parts (including the power adapter) to make it work plugging it in. full. disappointing! Those issues aside, it's a cheap solution for two headsets and works pretty well.I like the button on the side of the phones that mutes the sound so you can hear someone talking to you. My parents got this in a gift from me and they love the fact that dad can turn his on so he can hear the audio and mum can have a more reasonable level.The other thing to understand is the infrared emitter you have to maintain line of sight with him The advantage of this method is that there is little to no interference, as long as the connections are clean no radio signal is transmitted.

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
