Buying a new set of TV headphones may seem overwhelming, especially with all the options and technical jargon. We at CinemaBlend want you to make the most informed decision when purchasing new technology, so you can enhance your TV watching experience––that's why we made a buyer's guide of common terms and tips to help make your purchase easier.

Transmitter - The transmitter generates radio frequency, which allows your headphones to broadcast sound from your television.

Bluetooth - Bluetooth is a wireless technology that uses short-wavelength technology to exchange data between devices. Typically, headphones that are connected via Bluetooth will have a shorter physical range than headphones connected via a radio transmitter.

Hertz - Hertz, often stylized as 'Hz,' is the unit that measures sound frequency. 1000 Hz is equal to 1KHz; 1000kHz is equal to 1MHz; 1000MHz is equal to 1GHz.

Radio Frequency - Radio frequency refers to the range of radio transmission. Radiofrequency is measured in Hertz. Low bass sounds have a low frequency. High treble sounds have a high frequency. For an optimum audio experience, opt for the most balanced radio frequency so you have an evenly mixed, crisp sound quality. However, if you have hearing loss, you may want to opt for lower frequency headphones.
