Built Around the Real Problem: One Person Needs Volume Up, Everyone Else Needs It Down
Dual-Band RF + Bluetooth
Dedicated 2.4GHz RF for the TV connection — under 10ms, no perceptible lag. Bluetooth 5.3 stays free for a phone or tablet.
Three TV Input Options
Optical, RCA, and 3.5mm AUX cables in the box. Covers smart TVs back to pre-2015 sets, including the older TV in the den nobody wants to replace.
Drop-On Charging Dock
The transmitter base doubles as a charging cradle. No USB-C cable to thread into a tiny port — the headphones rest on contact pins between sessions.
Pass-Through Audio Support
TV speakers stay on for the rest of the room while the headphones listen privately. The kitchen is usable again. Conversations work during breaks.

Frequently Asked Questions
How hard is the initial setup, and can my dad do it without me on the phone?
How hard is the initial setup, and can my dad do it without me on the phone?
Transmitter and headphones come pre-paired from the factory. Plug the transmitter into the TV using the optical, RCA, or AUX cable, then press power on the headphones — sound starts. Most users have it running in under five minutes, no app required.
Will the audio stay in sync with the picture, or will lips look off like with regular Bluetooth headphones?
Will the audio stay in sync with the picture, or will lips look off like with regular Bluetooth headphones?
ClariTone uses a dedicated 2.4GHz RF channel for the TV — under 10ms latency, like a cordless phone. Lips stay in sync. The 100-200ms delay you've seen with generic Bluetooth headphones does not happen here because the transmitter handles it.
What if my parent's TV is from 2010 or earlier? Will it still work?
What if my parent's TV is from 2010 or earlier? Will it still work?
The transmitter accepts optical TOSLINK, RCA red/white, and 3.5mm AUX inputs — covering most TVs back to the late 1990s. RCA keeps older sets supported. The exception: some 2024-25 ultra-thin TVs with HDMI ARC only; check the back of the set first.
How long does the battery actually last between charges?
How long does the battery actually last between charges?
Around 20 hours of continuous listening on a single charge — three to four typical viewing days for most households. The drop-on dock means you don't have to remember to plug anything in; the headphones rest on the pins between sessions.
Can the rest of the family keep the TV speakers on while one person listens through the headphones?
Can the rest of the family keep the TV speakers on while one person listens through the headphones?
Yes — the transmitter supports pass-through audio. The TV speakers or your soundbar continue at whatever volume the room prefers, while the headphone wearer controls their private volume independently. This is the spec that ends the volume war.
What's the wireless range, and will it cover walking to the kitchen during commercial breaks?
What's the wireless range, and will it cover walking to the kitchen during commercial breaks?
Around 100 feet line of sight from the transmitter base. Walls and floors reduce that, but kitchen, bathroom, and adjoining rooms in a typical home stay within range. The connection holds through commercial breaks without dropouts.
Is this a hearing aid? Will it help with hearing loss?
Is this a hearing aid? Will it help with hearing loss?
ClariTone is a TV-amplification headphone, not a hearing aid. It's designed for users with mild-to-moderate hearing difficulties who want personal volume control on TV audio. It is not FDA-regulated and does not replace a clinical hearing aid.
My mom won't wear hearing aids — will she actually put these on without a fight?
My mom won't wear hearing aids — will she actually put these on without a fight?
Most resistance to hearing aids is the cost, the whistling, and the admission of age. ClariTone is a TV-only over-ear that lives on a dock — no in-ear buds, no daily wearing, no $4-6K commitment. She puts it on, presses power, watches her show.
