TV Ears Digital vs SIMOLIO SM-825D Pro TV Headphones

For most shoppers deciding between these two, the SIMOLIO SM-825D Pro is the stronger pick. It offers 2.4GHz RF with no pairing and no lip-sync delay, plus Bluetooth for phones and tablets, a spare battery slot, tone presets and left/right balance control for uneven hearing loss. The TV Ears Digital is an infrared in-ear system with voice clarifying circuitry and a long 600 sq ft range, but it runs mono, needs 14 hours to recharge for about 6 hours of use, and its in-ear foam tips suit people who want a light, private fit. Reviewers of the SIMOLIO rate it highly; TV Ears has a long track record with hard-of-hearing TV listeners but older, simpler tech.

• Choose the TV Ears Digital if you want a light in-ear headset, watch in one room, and prefer infrared that won't interfere with Wi-Fi or Bluetooth in the house.
• Choose the SIMOLIO SM-825D Pro if you want over-ear comfort, Bluetooth for phone and tablet use, a spare battery for all-day listening, and tone and balance controls for uneven hearing.
