What is an Infrared (IR) Listening Device?

This device uses infrared signals instead of the radio signals used by many other devices. This means the Unisar TV Listener J3 Infrared Wireless Headphones convert light waves into high fidelity stereo sound. Because it uses infrared, there is no chance of the device receiving interference from wireless networks, microwaves, cordless phones, or radios. It also means this device has a much longer battery life (about 15 hours). Due to these infrared technology advantages, this device will need to be used in front of the television and without any objects between the headphones and the transmitter. Finally, IR technology means sound does not spill over into surrounding spaces.
