Technology question: TV Soundbar and Bluetooth headphones

[TBone.sixpack]

I have a Samsung Sound Bar and TV and Bose BT headphones. Is there any way I can hear get the tv audio through the headphones.

I have an older uncle that is half deaf and he just bought a Roku because he could bluetooth the audio from the Roku phone app to some wireless headphones. The Roku remote also has a headphone jack if you want to do wired.

Not sure if you can get it directly from the TV or not, but maybe you can through the sound bar. I have Dish and I can use my Bluetooth headphones through the Hopper receiver. Do you have any sort of cable or satellite receiver?

I have Xfinity.

FYI, Xfinity has their app on Roku devices and it works really well. I use it all the time. Saves me from having to lease additional cable boxes from Comcast.

That sounds like my solution.

Yes. I have the same setup. You have to turn the Soundbar off, pair the Bose app with your TV. When you request it to link to the TV a message should appear on your TV asking to link to the headphones. Select yes and you should be set.

Awesome. Got several ways to skin this cat!

I just checked and my LG does indeed have Bluetooth capability. I've never used it because I always go through Dish.

I just also discovered I can do it in settings directly through the tv. Tech is amazing. And I don’t use it to near the level I should.

In addition to wireless headphones, I have AirPods. They connect to the Dish receiver, but disconnect and unpair fairly frequently. I suppose they work best with Apple devices.

I have an 8 year old daughter who has 2 friends 6 and 8 that are constantly at my house. I have to have those Bose headphones.

My Mom hums non stop. The same tune may last an hour on repeat. She has been staying with us a lot lately. I’m close to losing it.

AirPods work great with Apple TV of course. I use this daily!

Id like a similar solution. I think I did the pair with Roku thing, but there was a delay that I couldn’t take.

See if your TV Settings has a blue tooth option. If so it will likely pair with your headphones or ear buds.
