Can I hook up headphones together to make a home theater?

Answer
What does hooking head phones together have to do with making a home theatre?

You obviously have some plan in mind, but you've done a terrible job describing it.

I bought a home theater system that doesn't have a headphone jack, how can I use headphones oon it?

Q. I bought a home theater system that doesn't have a headphone jack, but sometimes at night when I am watching movies, it's too loud and I need to use headphones to watch. Is there some kind of converter that I can hook up to the home theater reciever to allow me to use headphones?
the headphones are wirless, and the receiver has a cable splitting into red and white. There are no open red and white sockets for them. And there is not headphone jack either.
Problem solved. I bought a different home theater system witha headphone jack and realized that there is a converter that came with the headphone system which combines both red and black cables into one headphone plug. Thanks for the help.

Answer
Interesting question and I hope I have the answer.

First though let me say that from your additional description, you cannot easily use the headphones that you have with a conventional headphone jack (1/4" 3 conductor). It sounds like you need audio line outputs to feed the wireless transmitter. Do the headphones have a volume control built into it?

If you are watching movies from just one source such as a DVD player or VCR then I would use the audio line outputs of that unit and turn the sound down on the system. If you currently use those outputs to feed your system then you would need to get a Y splitter for each channel.
This might get tricky though if your DVD player is integrated with your home theater system - then I'd ask you if you have any RCA line outputs on your system? If you do then I'd try and hook up the headphones there.

Good luck. I'm sure your neighbors will appreciate the peace and quiet!

Small bedroom: home theater system or a nice set of headphones?

best headphones home theater image

What?

I'm planning to complement a 32" in my small bedroom with either a home theater system or a nice set of headphones for a better movie watching experience. The room is extremely small and my planned setup gives me only about 7 feet between where the TV will be mounted and the opposing wall.

Would a HTS be effective enough in such a layout to justify the cost? I like the idea of having one, but would I get better results with a good set of stereo headphones?

Answer
I'd go with the home theater system. Remember that you don't have to buy the best of they best though. Especially if you are putting it in a smaller area. You don't need a 20" sub and a 7.1 surround sound to get a good sound. However, IF you are a music nut like myself, a nice pair of headphones is a must.

Can I hook headphones up together to make a home theater?

I have like 5 headphones and I want to make a cheap home theater with them can I hook them up together to get the same audio coming out of them?

Answer
This sounds like unworkable idea and still lacks useful details as to how you would do this.

If you hook these 5 headphones in series, their impedance will add and you will have 5 sets of tiny speakers each emitting exactly the same sound.

If you hook them in parallel, the parallel equivalent impedance will probably be too low and you will end up blowing whatever drives these things.

Doesn't sound like a very good home theater system to me.
