Abstract
A movie theater headset accessible by access codes which are unique for the movie for an additional cost when the ticket is purchased for the movie at movie theatres. Within the theatre or venue the audio portion of the movie is transmitted electronically, either wirelessly or on a wired network, and the headset allows the user to hear the transmission only when the access code is entered. The headsets may be rented or purchased at the theater or venue. Electronic stores may also sell the headsets, or conversion kits for existing headsets, which permit the use of the access codes for movies.
