If your wireless headphones have static, it's time to buy another pair.

Wireless that is. Don't get corded ones. That's old technology.

Believe it or not, the $1 earbuds at Walmart work great.

You can get an extension for them like this:

There are audio extender cords which will allow one to plug the extender cord into the receiver and plug the headphone into the other end of the extender cord.

If need be, you can do corded, and use an extension cable, with the male plug that fits into the TV and the female into which you plug your headphones.

Wireless, however, are more convenient. A really good pair, such as Sennheiser, or ones comparable, can cost quite a bit. Check ebay or amazon.

You didn’t mention your equipment. Other than moving a base around and wireless headphones.

What’s your setup?

Do you use florescent bulbs in the house? The old ballasts tend to be bad RF noisy generators. If you were to replace those boobs with LED this would severely drop the lower levels, and still provide adequate lighting

I keep coming back to my Samsung Level U headphones. They’re Bluetooth and cheap (~$15 on eBay) but super comfortable to wear all day and even sleep with them on. The buds magnet together around my neck inside my shirt, so I can pop them in or out of my ears in about 2 seconds and very discreet when not in use. The battery lasts 1-2 days depending on use and don’t need a charging dock to keep in your pocket like airpods.

Or, your can get any old wired headphones and a really long extension cable as others have mentioned.

I agree with those who recommend Bluetooth. I researched them a lot, tried a bunch of them, and wound up with those reviewed at the link below. I found the review to be dead on. The sound quality is very good. They are very comfortable even after hours of wearing. The range is about 50' in my house. I have found the noise cancellation to be very good, but have not compared them to the Bose. I now have two pairs and think I paid about $70 for each of them. The negative Amazon reviews are not consistent with my experience.

Golzer Banc-70.

Don’t worry about the length of the cable on the headphones. Get whatever pair you want. Buy an extension cable for whatever length 15’, 25’ or whatever for $10 or so.

It’s kind of funny how these conversations go. I suspect you are hooking up the transmitter via mic jack and the system is not blue tooth. In that case, you can ignore the recommendations for $150 wireless earbuds.

Buy a set of headphones that are comfortable for you and in your price range, then buy an extension cord from the vendor of your choice, that will add about $10-15 dollars for reasonable quality. That setup will last you for many years with no batteries to replace, charge or go bad.

I have cheap wireless and they have static and I live with it... But...
I mostly wear them when I am at my PC, which has a wireless mouse\keyboard and my modem and router and cell phone are within a foot or so. Also within a foot or so is my Magic Jack phone setup.

When I am out of range of all that stuff, the static is gone.

Behringer makes a wide variety of audio products. Their wired headphones have always worked great for my uses. Finding an extension cord along with the suitable connectors is not too much of a problem.

I got a buddy who has recommended these to me. He says they are great. Distance. Fidelity. He loves his.

Sennheiser HD 280 Pro.

Used them since 1993. I have 4 pair in 3 different locations. 1 wore out after 20 years of use.(I haven’t shopped them in about 10 years.)

A favorite amongst lab bands and audio enthusiasts.

All the others are toys.

Ebay typically has them for $80.

They also have them used from about $20

You’ll also find some high end accessories such as XLR cords and jack converters at the Parts Express website at low cost.

Parts express will also frequently have JBL dumps of their models being phased out, new, old stock, for about 10%-20% MSRP.

Have you thought about bluetooth headphones with a bluetooth transmitter attached to your TV?

Latest version of the Roku box has a mini headphone jack built right into the Roku remote, which is kind of neat. Alternatively,you could buy a headphone jack extension cord to provide the needed length to reach a headphone jack on a TV or receiver.
