You have probably never heard the name Philo Farnsworth, but his invention has changed yours (and most everyone else’s) life in countless ways.
Philo created the first electronic television way back in 1927.
It took just over a decade before those TV's (as they were soon to be called) were actually found in the general populations homes.
Television was a complete game changer for both families as well as society in general as it completely transformed how homes and families functioned in countless ways. Many of those changes still endure to this day.
There were many "firsts" that came from television.
The first television commercials, the first soap operas, the first late night talk shows… as well as the very first family fight over having the television volume too loud.
Who hasn’t seen or been a part of a family squabble over the TV volume being too loud? This battle has probably existed since about 10 minutes after the first television was turned on in a home and will likely endure through the ages as long as TV is a part of our lives.
There seems to be no time that this battle can’t erupt. Whether you watch late at night or when others are trying to talk or work, the television volume issue is a fuse that is always ready to be lit.
But this goes both ways. Sometimes people trying to focus on a show can’t because of noise around them.
So while we all may be able to chuckle at this eternal battle, it is a serious issue that contributes to ongoing household conflict, which is never a good thing. A conflict that has had few possible solutions… until now.
Technology has come to the rescue and perhaps created the ultimate solution to this problem.
Bluetooth headphones. Thats right, they’re not only for jogging and listening to music. Most smart televisions will allow you to pair them.
Bluetooth headphones allow you to listen to television at whatever volume you want without disturbing anyone else, or having their noise disturb you.
When shopping for bluetooth headphones you should know that standard bluetooth headphones can (and often do) have delayed audio issues, so make sure that when you’re looking for headphones find ones with RF style connectivity.
Often when we recommend this to our customers their next question is can headphones deliver sound thats as good as a full on sound system?
No, a top of the line or high qualify sound system will always outperform even the best headphones, however even our most demanding customers are impressed with the sound many of the better headphones we offer can deliver.
On top of that, many bluetooth headphones can deliver far superior sound than smart televisions speakers can. So while they won’t match up to a killer hifi system, they will allow for a much more immersive and engaging viewing/ listening experience than your televisions speakers currently will.
