Chair Speaker

The newest breakthrough in TV listening technology. This device allows a user to place the TV sound near each ear without the isolation or discomfort of headphones or in-the-ear devices. The blue-tooth device wirelessly transmits the audio to any chair or recliner up to 33 feet away. For those that have purchased a sound bar with the expectation of hearing the TV better, only to realize more volume doesn’t mean clearer sound, this delivers improved sound clarity through voice-enhancing technology. Like a personal surround sound system, it has rubber grips and ball flex joints to effortlessly drape over your chair and includes chair side controls. Set up is a snap with a plug-and-play design, making it easy to begin enjoying watching TV like never before.
