If you have a newer tv, check and see if you have bluetooth capability, then you'll be able to use bluetooth headphones.If you buy wireless headphones that don't accept digital audio (toslink), then you can use one of these to convert digital to analog.

I use something like the following and it works fine.
Easyday Digital to Analog Audio Converter with Digital Optical Toslink and S/pdif Coaxial Inputs and Analog RCA and AUX 3.5mm (Headphone) Outputs - 6 Foot Heavy Duty Optical Toslink Cable with Gold Plated Connector Tips Included. It does need to be an electrical outlet as the converter has its own power supply. This was from Amazon at cost of $13.80 (Amazon Prime). One thing to consider, though, some audio outlets have the gain (volume) set same as for external speakers on the TV. In this case you get the same level of output through both the external speakers as well as the headphones. This sounds like it would defeat your desire of having separate controls.

We to have the Sennheiser RS120 On-Ear Wireless RF Headphones with Charging Dock from Amazon $56.99. They are wireless and work throughout our house. If plugged into the audio output of your TV you need to have the TV volume turned up a little for it to work. We have ours plugged into the audio output jacks on the back of our cable box so that the TV volume can be turned down or off and it works fine.

I use the Sony wireless FM headphones. I really like them.

If you are using Dish, the Hopper 3 has Bluetooth. I bought Bluetooth ear buds with volume control for under $20 on Amazon. I use them every night. I find them more comfortable than headphones.

Things around the house got a lot better when my husband bought TV Ears. I liked them so much I got a pair also. They clarify hard-to-understand dialog, such as in many British shows. If you sign on to get email from them you will find that they occasionally run sales. Otherwise, they are quite expensive.
