I don't want to sound too discouragin but you can buy a decint pair of IR headphones pretty cheap thses days.

This circuit is AM and mono and not good quality at all.

You can probably but the transformer from RS components or even Maplin.
 
That circuit is 50 years old and does not work. Nothing from that foreign website works.

The 1st transistor in the transmitter has no base bias current!
It is a rectifier that produces severe distortion.

If the 1st transistor worked then the red LED would block any modulation.

The headset at the receiver has DC current in it!

The transformer doesn't provide any isolation because the grounds are the same. Since the TV has a headphones jack then the TV provides the isolation. The transformer is used to stepup the input voltage like a transistor would do.
