TV Assitive Listening: Sennheiser Flex 5000

Wireless TV listening devices let you watch TV, movies, or games at the volume you want with your own headphones while allowing other to enjoy their own volume settings. Sennheiser’s Flex 5000 works with any TV to transmit clear and well-synced sound to your wireless receiver where you control your own volume.

Flex 5000 works with any TV and any wired headphones – earbuds are included.

What comes in the box?

The Flex 5000 is a two-part system made up of a transmitter that sits connected to the TV and a smaller receiver you take with you. Several cabling options are included to attach the transmitter to the TV including a 3.5mm aux cable, a digital optical cable, a pair of Sennheiser earbuds, and a ac/dc power adapter. The kit even includes power adapters for Europe, the U.K., and Australia along with a quick start guide and full instruction manual.

Features

You don’t have to worry about batteries for the receiver as there is a docking station on the bottom half of the transmitter which doubles as a charger for the receiver. The Flex 5000 will give you a an enhanced TV sound experience by customizing the sound profile to your exact requirements. Programmed in are your choice of three different hearing profiles, which deliver clearest speech and colorful music. And, of course, for people with different levels of hearing in ear ear, you can adjust the left and right volume settings for a balanced, pleasant sound. One of the most useful features is The Flex 5000’s Speech Intelligibility function that makes speech easier to understand. By dynamically reducing background noise spoken words become more clear while retaining the full audio experience.
