How to find out if there is bluetooth on your TV. How to connect wireless Bluetooth headphones to a Samsung, LG, Sony, Philips, Smart TV? If your TV doesn't have Bluetooth or your headphones won't connect: solution

This article provides information on how to connect wireless headphones to a Samsung TV. There are two ways to connect to screens of this brand: it depends on whether the device has Bluetooth support or not.

If your Samsung TV has this function, then the connection process will be quite simple.

Instructions:

  1. Hold the “ON” key on the headphones until the indicator light starts flashing .
  2. In the plasma panel menu, open the “Sound” section, and then go to “Speaker Settings”, find the position “bluetooth headphones to TV”. If there is no such item in the settings, it means that the screen does not support the option.
  3. If the TV is equipped with Bluetooth, then after this command it will begin searching. If the TV does not see the headphones, it is recommended to bring them closer to the monitor, turn them off, and then turn them on again.
  4. The gadget setup is complete.

If a person wants to switch to classic listening to sound through the screen speakers, then to do this you just need to turn off the wireless headphones.

Option 2. Connection using a Bluetooth transmitter

If the equipment is not equipped with Bluetooth, then you will need to purchase a special transmitter with which you can configure the headphones to work. The main criterion for choosing a transmitter is how many pairs of headphones can be connected to it. One set of headphones can be connected to any dispenser; on more expensive ones, it is possible to connect two pairs.

A transmitter to which more than two wireless devices can connect has not yet been developed.

Which transmitter to buy

Among the budget options, the Mpow Streambo transmitter has proven itself well. The price of the device is 1500–2000 thousand, but you can only connect one headphone. The transmitter is equipped with a built-in battery, and it is also possible to receive signals from other gadgets. Therefore, it is suitable for all devices that transmit sound, for example, it can be used to listen to music through a phone.

In order to connect two headsets at once, it is recommended to purchase Avantree Priva. The cost of such a transmitter is 3500–5000 thousand. Such devices are suitable for Samsung, LG TV, and any other popular brands. These are two of the most modern models of Bluetooth transmitters for TVs.

Connection diagram:

  1. Connect the transmitter to the television panel via an optical or analog connector. The headphones must be fully charged.
  2. Connect the TV to the network and activate the Bluetooth device.
  3. After which you need to turn on the headphones, to do this, use the remote control to go to the menu and select “Connect Bluetooth”.

  5. The connection is complete.

Adjusting the sound

Users often ask the question: is it possible to adjust the volume, and what is the optimal distance for this?

All models of wireless headphones have a volume control option; the distance from the plasma should be no more than 10 meters. If the distance is greater, the transmitted signal will begin to be interrupted.

Wireless headphones review

There are quite a lot of wireless headphones for TV on the market. When choosing, experts recommend paying attention to the technical characteristics, as well as the functionality of the device. It is better to give preference to reliable, proven brands.

  • Philips SHC5100. One of the most budget options, the cost of Philips headphones is 2500–3000 thousand. Despite the low cost, the model is of fairly high quality. The only negative is that noise may occur when you are near a mobile device.
  • Sony MDR-DS6500. The model is equipped with a built-in format decoder, and the advantage of the Sony MDR-DS6500 is neodymium magnets, which are stronger than conventional ones. Among the disadvantages, users note the inconvenience when turning the headset on and off. Price: from 7,000 thousand.
  • Beyerdynamic RSX 700. Many experts believe that the Beyerdynamic RSX 700 is overpriced, since its quality is comparable to the Philips SHC5100. A significant drawback is the fact that the device does not “seal” the sound. Therefore, the broadcast sound can also be heard by people nearby, but when playing very loud scenes. Cost: 6000–7000 thousand.
  • AKG K912. The device is developed using the most modern technologies. But the most important advantage is high-quality sound processing. Also, many users note that the AKG K912 is very comfortable to wear and does not need to be adjusted for each head. But there are also disadvantages: owners complain that charging the AKG K912 is quite difficult, and the velor ear pads get clogged with dust. Cost: 5000–6000 thousand.

There was a need to listen to sound from the TV (TV channels, game console) using headphones. Connecting Bluetooth headphones to a modern TV turned out to be problematic! Briefly: I recommend the device!

I still wonder why this feature is missing in most models. Well, okay, there is a problem and we are looking for a solution. While studying the issue, I found out that there are devices capable of receiving sound via bluetooth and transmitting it to a connected device (headphones, speaker) - these are receivers, as well as devices capable of receiving sound via a cable (3.5 jack or tulip), and then transmit it wirelessly - a transmitter. It was precisely the second class of devices that I needed.
It turned out that transmitters are an order of magnitude more expensive than receivers, and there are practically no real reviews.
By searching, I came across a topic on the 4pda website, where they were already able to identify several devices, with prices for the best samples reaching up to 3 thousand. Cheap options were distinguished by the so-called sound delay. As a result, I ordered a popular, but not without its drawbacks, transmitter: the Syllable E3.
Dimensions
A fairly compact device; when I looked at the pictures, it seemed no smaller than a credit card.


Equipment
In fact, slightly larger than a matchbox. The only connectors are 3.5 jack and micro-USB for charging. Included is a USB-micro-USB charging cable with a flat wire, a 3.5 jack wire for connecting to a sound source


By sound quality

Connecting the headphones was no problem. According to the instructions, hold the button for 3 seconds and wait for pairing.
Now, regarding the sound delay, which is so often discussed on specialized forums. Perhaps we are talking about cheap devices, but I did not feel any discomfort. The sound from the TV comes without delay. No, there may be a delay, but it is so insignificant that you don’t feel any discomfort.
The sound quality is also satisfactory. Both high and low frequencies are present. I am quite picky about sound quality, so I can say that the quality of the transmitted sound is quite acceptable.
One of the features of the device is the ability to connect a pair of headphones at once using Bluetooth technology. I’ll say right away that it didn’t work out for me. There were wireless headphones and an old receiver available. They connected separately, but for some reason they didn’t connect at the same time.
Minuses:
For me personally, there are none; the device transmits sound of excellent quality, without delays. I got everything I wanted from the device. But on specialized forums they write that it is impossible to connect the device to USB in such a way that it charges and functions at the same time. For me this is not a minus, the device holds a charge for several hours, I use this function quite rarely.
Still, the device is charging, connected to the charger, and then paired with the headphones. Everything is working.
Pros:
-Ability to listen to TV via Bluetooth headphones
-Compact size, you can connect 2 pairs of headphones (I didn’t succeed, but it’s stated by the manufacturer)
-you can organize constant power supply via USB.
Minuses:
-Price
-Sound quality is not ideal, not suitable for music.

First review, don't judge too harshly. There wouldn’t be a review at all, it’s just that on this site, and in general, in general, there are no reviews for this class of devices. Well, I decided to make my contribution.
If you have questions, ask, I will answer.

Bluetooth headphones are an excellent solution for those who like to watch TV at night and do not want to disturb the sleep of other people living nearby. The wireless headset will also appeal to those users who prefer to deeply immerse themselves in the atmosphere of the movie they are watching. After all, with the help of this device, a person can easily protect himself from extraneous noise that distracts him in the form of restless screaming and squealing of children, annoying stomping or laughter of neighbors.

However, in order to experience all the delights of watching TV with Bluetooth headphones, you need to connect them correctly. This is exactly what will be discussed in the article.

Almost all modern TVs (especially those with the Smart TV function) are equipped with a built-in Bluetooth transmitter. Therefore, connecting a wireless headset to them is quite easy. If you doubt that you can handle it yourself, then the following algorithm will help you:


On a note! In order for the sound to be played back by the TV speakers, just unplug the headphones.

There is one caveat. Some Samsung TV models do not want to be friends with accessories from other brands. This was done specifically to promote our own brand products. Keep this in mind when choosing wireless headphones for your TV.

How to connect wireless headphones to Sony TVs?

There should be no problems with synchronizing a wireless headset and a Sony TV device. The entire connection process boils down to the following steps:

  1. Go to the settings menu on the TV.
  2. Find the “Bluetooth” section. Or "Wired and Wireless Networks".
  3. Turn on bluetooth. Then click on “Search for Bluetooth devices”.
  4. At this point, the TV will usually prompt you to turn on your headphones and place them up to 5 meters away. In any case, we perform these actions.
  5. After which the TV should see our headset. Select it and click “Connect”.
  6. Finally, the device may ask you to select the type of equipment to be connected. As a rule, three options are offered - “subwoofer”, “headphones” and “other”. Of course, select “Headphones”.
  7. That's all. A message should appear indicating that the headset is connected.

On a note! Most 2013-2014 Sony Bravia TVs do not support Bluetooth audio output.

Connect bluetooth headphones to LG TV

On LG TVs, connecting wireless headphones is a little more difficult. Especially if the device has webOS 3.0 or more recent firmware (models released since 2016). After all, in order to synchronize with a wireless headset, you will need to do several intricate steps:

We use a Bluetooth transmitter to connect

Not all TVs have a built-in Bluetooth adapter. If you just happen to get such a device, then you won’t be able to connect a wireless headset to it using the methods described above. You will have to purchase and install a special Bluetooth transmitter. In another way it is also called a transmitter.

The functionality of this “gadget” boils down to receiving a signal from a TV device and transmitting it via Bluetooth, ensuring synchronization with another gadget. The Bluetooth transmitter is connected to the TV via:

  • 3.5mm analog jack;
  • RCA output;
  • optical connector (use only if there is no other output for connecting headphones);
  • USB port.

The transmitter sometimes comes bundled with wireless headphones. However, most often it has to be purchased separately. The cost of a good adapter is about $25-30. There are also more expensive models. Their advantage is that they can be used to connect two pairs of Bluetooth headphones to the TV at once.

We figured out what a transmitter is. Now you need to understand how to set it all up. A simple step-by-step instruction will help you with this:

  1. Turn on the bluetooth transmitter. Don't forget that he needs food. Usually a special block is included with it for this purpose.
  2. We connect the transmitter to the TV. To do this, we use one of the available connectors.
  3. All that remains is to turn on the Bluetooth headphones and establish a connection with the transmitter. Sometimes this happens automatically. But more often user intervention is required. Therefore, if there is no sound from the headphones, then pick up the TV remote control and go to the main menu of the gadget. Here you need to find the section responsible for connecting via Bluetooth, then select the headset and click “Enable”.
  4. Finally, choose headphones. Click “Connect”. Most likely, the system will require you to enter a PIN code to synchronize devices. You can view it in the operating instructions for the wireless headset.

On a note! Some users try to connect Bluetooth headphones to the TV using game consoles. Alas, this does not always work out. The fact is that many consoles do not support Bluetooth.

Let's sum it up

So, the easiest way is to connect wireless headphones to modern TVs with Smart TV (or Android TV). After all, they have a built-in Bluetooth adapter and a clear menu, which makes the process of synchronizing devices as easy as possible.

It’s a little more difficult with older TVs released 5-7 years ago, since they do not have the Bluetooth data transfer function. However, using a special transmitter (transmitter) you can also easily connect a TV and a wireless headset. At the same time, we must not forget that some TV devices can only be connected to Bluetooth headphones from the same manufacturer.
