Different Types Of Wireless TV Headphones

Wireless TV headphones come in three different flavors, though two of them are very similar. There is RF (radio frequency) and Bluetooth, which work off the same principals but in slightly different ways, and infrared which works off of light pulses instead of sound waves. The main difference between RF and Bluetooth is range. RF has a range of sometimes over 300 feet, while Bluetooth has a range of about 30 feet. Although the shorter range may seem like a disadvantage, this also means that Bluetooth will be picking up far less interference than regular RF, which may increase audio quality, but only as long as you never plan to use your wireless TV headphones from more than 30 feet away. Infrared pulses light from the transmitter to the receiver, sort of like morse code, only with light flashes that are beyond human eyesight instead of dots and dashes of sound.
