Sennheiser has released a range of earplugs with a specific purpose: as the name suggests, the Sennheiser TV Clear should provide an optimal audio experience while watching television. These true wireless in-ear headphones use Bluetooth to connect to a TV connector, which in turn connects to the TV via cable.
The compact transmitter (63 x 63 x 12 mm) transmits audio wirelessly to the earphones, while the manufacturer claims a minimal amount of delay. It supports both toslink and regular 3.5mm audio cable and plugs in with a micro USB connector. Several headphones can be connected at the same time, and thanks to Bluetooth, they are also compatible with other devices.
TV Clear offers five different volume levels with a maximum increase of 20 dB for better speech understanding. The TV connector makes it possible to change the volume without affecting the sound of the TV. This way, different viewers can adjust the sound to their liking. Also, ambient sounds should be more intelligible thanks to the transparency mode, but active noise suppression isn’t part of the party.
Sennheiser provides various accessories so that the shape of the headset can be adjusted as desired.
The earbuds are equipped with 6mm drivers and offer a range of 20 Hz to 20 kHz, as well as a sensitivity of 100.5 dB SPL (1 kHz / 1 mW). Distortion should be less than 0.5% (1 kHz / 94 dB). Other features include an app to toggle volume and touch controls, battery life is up to 15 hours. The included charging case charges USB type-c or wirelessly and provides an additional 22 hours of power.
Sennheiser reports that the TV Clear headphones will be available immediately, with a suggested retail price of 400 euros. At the time of writing, these are not yet available in our affiliated webshops.
