Of course, you will need a TV that is able to use Bluetooth in order to use Bluetooth headphones.

If you don’t have a Bluetooth-enabled TV, you can use an adapter.

If you have a TV that has Bluetooth support, follow the steps below for connecting your Bluetooth headphones.

Connecting a Bluetooth Compatible TV

  1. Make sure the headphones are in pairing mode. A blue blinking light usually shows when headphones are in pairing mode.
  2. Make sure that your TV’s Bluetooth function is enabled. If you don’t know how to do this, check your TV’s manual since every model of TV has its own procedure for accessing Bluetooth mode.
  3. Your TV will scan for Bluetooth devices in the area then show a list of detected devices. Choose which headphones you want to connect to the TV. After you have successfully done this, the headphones should appear in the list of “Paired Devices.”

While adapters usually only accommodate up to two devices, it is possible to use a splitter in order to go up to four personal listening devices. Be aware, however, that this may lead to reduced sound quality.
