Question 1

What else do you need to hook up to television?

Accepted Answer

These work GREAT for connecting to any Bluetooth device like a cell phone, computer with Bluetooth or Bluetooth radio.  However, unless your TV has Bluetooth built in, you will not be able to connect to the TV.  There are other wireless headphones designed specifically for TV's which have their own Bluetooth or RF transmitter (900 MHz or 2.4 GHz).  Some are kind of junky so be sure to get one in about the $50 range or more to get good quality sound.  Some are "line of sight", infrared only which are annoying since you must be facing the transmitter at all times.  Lastly, for any of them, be sure your TV has an Audio Out jack (3.5 mm mini stereo jack) since most wireless headphones use a standard plug just like your earbuds for your phone (a good test is to plug your earbuds into the TV first to be sure it fits and works with a standard stereo jack).

Question 2

How do I  charge my JBL J56BT  headphones.  I am a complete novice and I see no directions regarding this in my package? How many hours of play can I expect between chargings?  Thanks in advance....Janice

Accepted Answer

There is a proprietary cable that comes in the package with a USB on one end and what looks like a headphone jack.  Connect the USB to a computer and the "headphone" jack to the headphones and you will see a red light to indicate that it is charging.

Question 3

Can you charge and use at the same time?

Accepted Answer

You cannot. It's one of the dumber limits of these headphones.

Question 4

Will these work with a van's DVD player?    My van has Bluetooth.

Accepted Answer

I am not an expert but I would think they should work with any Bluetooth device.  I synched mine to multiple devices with no problems at all.  For the price they sound extremely good (they're not Bose but neither is the price).

Question 5

Does this thing work wirelessly with Playstation4 (PS4)? Looks like a nice combination of features/price if it works.

Accepted Answer

so far i have been able to run these off my phone and my laptop through bluetooth. does hands free calling and audio great! dont see why you wouldnt be able to pair it with a console. my computer sees it as two seperate devices- bluetooth headset and hands free device. hope this helps.

Question 6

I have tried several other blue tooth headphones but feels they start disconnecting on their own with time. Is there any issue reported regarding that ?

Accepted Answer

no problems so far....no issues at all, great headset
