Do I need a transmitter to use this headphone?

Yes. This listing is the headphone only. It needs a TV Ears 5.8 GHz transmitter connected to your TV's audio output.

How is 5.8 GHz different from Bluetooth?

There is no pairing and no compression delay, so audio stays in sync with the picture. The signal also reaches further than typical Bluetooth.

How long does the battery last?

About 4 to 6 hours per charge, recharged over USB-C. Heavy viewers will charge it most days.

Will it work with my TV?

It works through the transmitter, which connects to a 3.5mm, RCA or digital PCM audio output. Check that your TV has one of those outputs.

Is it good for music or phone calls?

No. TV Ears says it is designed for TV listening for people with hearing loss, not general use.
