Forget soundbars, Sennheiser's latest wireless earbuds will boost your TV's audio

Sennheiser's latest wireless earbuds are a little different than most. Instead of being made for listening to music on the go, TV Clear are made for watching TV at home.

Why would you want to do that? Maybe you don't want to bother anyone else in the room, or perhaps you struggle to make out dialogue and would benefit from having it piped directly into your ears. Either way, they're an intriguing prospect.

The Sennheisers feature an Ambient Aware mode that lets in outside sound, so you can still chat to friends and family while watching. Or you can switch it off to really concentrate on what's happening. Handy if one family member insists on talking all the way through a film.

They connect to a wireless transmitter which promises a low latency wireless connection, or you can just connect over Bluetooth – this latter option also opens the door to use with tablets and smartphones.

Look out for the Sennheiser TV Clear later this month when they'll go on sale for £349.99 (around $440, AU$600).
