if your TV set does not have a headphone jack, you will not be able to plug the headphones directly into the set. HOWEVER... your TV probably has set of red and white connectors on the back labeled "Audio Out". (This type of jack is called an RCA Connector). If you buy a simple connector called an "RCA to 1/8th inch connector" you should be able to use your headphones. The connector is usually about $5 or less. You may also want an extending cable to sit further away from the TV than the cable that comes with the headphones allows.
