Hi everyone, I've recently found the need for some wireless headphones to plug into my tv so that i can watch it without disturbing others who are sleeping....I'm a night owl. I've been out of the tv and audio scene for several years and honestly, I don't know what to look for. And I specifically don't know how they would connect to the tv we have. It's a fairly large flat screen that was bought at Best Buy in 2008: the brand is Dynex. I see lots of rca jacks and other inputs and outputs...but I need to know how to hook a set up so I can know what to look for when I buy them. I basically just need to get up to speed. Oh, and I'll only be using these headphones to watch tv, not for gaming.

If you have skills in this area, any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. :)

Plug them into the headphone jack, or get an RCA to 3.5mm converter for $1.50.

Awesome. Thanks for the help. So if I plug a pair into the stereo mini port does it automatically mute the actual tv speakers. And if so do they all come with an inline volume so you can control it with your hand?

The advantage of the headphone jack is that it automatically mutes your television and you can control the volume with the television controller as you would normally, not to mention that most headphones are built to work with the 3.5mm jack by default

Dude, be a man and stick it to 'em--unless they also plan on wearing the headphones while you sleep:

Its a pain in the ass to use the headphone jack on any new TV.
I have to take apart the TV, and solder a jumper wire to always get it too work right on the boats.

With that said.
The best way is to hook up using the RCA jacks on the back of the TV.
