Soundbar With Bluetooth Headphone Output

I received my SRS-NS7 from B&H about a week ago and was totally hooked on it within an hour of starting to use it. However I want to offer some strong advice to those who plan to use one of these while watching TV alongside other viewers. My wife and I normally sit about 12 ft from our TV monitor and typically sit close enough that we rub shoulders. We have a Sonos soundbar under the monitor, with surround sound speakers at each end of our loveseat. I wear hearing aids but Patty does not. The optical output of the TV goes to a splitter with one output going to the soundbar and the other going to the Bluetooth transmitter for the SRS-NS7. With the arrangement described above, we both heard sound from the soundbar and the NS7, and there was enough latency difference to irritate us both. I have a technical background and had anticipated such a latency effect, but had no knowledge of the actual delays with either device. I spoke with an audio expert at B&H, asking for advice about a variable delay device that has optical input(s) and output(s). He could not recommend such a device that is currently available from B&H but did suggest a Felston DD740 that B&H used to carry. I looked up the characteristics of the DD740 and agreed that it seemed to be exactly what I needed. I purchased one from LipFix.com, after talking with their Nick Johnson. It arrived yesterday. After connecting my new DD740 in series with the optical input to the Bluetooth transmitter of the SRS-NS7 and experimenting with the delay, I found that a delay of 55mS yields NO perceptible latency effects that interfere with either what Patty and I hear while watching TV. The bottom line: We both enjoy hearing REALLY EXCELLENT sound, including very clear dialogue, while watching TV together AND I get the benefit of superb sound while editing videos etc. with the SRS-NS7 connected to the Bluetooth of my computer systems. I could not be happier with this purchase! Pete

Great for iPhone and iPad. I wish it had a headphone output.

This fits the bill when you need to share a headphone output with another person.

This adapter worked perfectly to connect my tv, which only had an optical output, to the soundbar.

My second Roku. This one is faster, and I love the bluetooth remote with headphone jack.

It got Bluetooth. It got Aux. in and Headphone out. The sound is Great on it. It got so many nice Features. B&H is the BEST.

Compact, solid build, convenient. Good sound. Independent headphone output, line outs and XLR outs. No complaints at all

The Pearstone HBOX-4000 headphone amplifier is an excellent choice for home recording, where it is useful for multiple people to monitor the signal from a digital audio workstation. In my case, I'm using a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 interface, which provides one direct-monitor headphone output. The level of the Scarlett's output is too low to be useful. The Pearstone allows me to both split the signal into my headphones and the performer's, as well as raise the level so that it matches the tracks being monitored from the software. In all, this is a very inexpensive solution to a vexing problem. Considering the price, quality, and usefulness of this headphone amp, it is really a no brainer to pick one up, if you're looking to improve the performance and convenience of your home recording workstation.

Well-built, well-designed, solid mixer. The battery is long-lasting, and the headphone output & pan pots are excellent. ONE NOTE: I discovered that the supplied carrying case is a snug fit, and can change your switch settings. I lost audio for 1 take, and that was my fault for not double-checking. Two thumbs up.

It is a legit headphone amp and worth the price. I really like the design and daisy chain concept. So you can connect to another Samson. From what I AB tested between Audio Interface output and QH4 output. I feel that it lost some frequency, but it's very subtle.
