You want to make sure that if you go to the store for this you can tell the clerk the exact name and model of your TV. So they can look it up and be sure what you're buying will work with it.

If you post that here I'll be happy to look up compatible headphones for you. What is the exact make and model of the TV? I'm sure we can find something on Amazon to work for you.

I absolutely agree with your choice to go with a wired set of headphones. I have the wireless type so I won't disturb my roommate and they do cut in and out at times.
