Using a headphone allows you to listen to TV without disturbing others around you. Some Samsung televisions have the option of connecting a headset to a built-in headphone jack. The TVs that are 27 inches and under are more likely to have headphone jacks. If your Samsung TV doesn't have a headphone jack, you may be able to use an adapter for the TV's audio output. Whether it will work depends on how the audio source is connected to the TV.
