| Bluetooth headphones for tv
So i have 2 questions regarding using bluetooth headphones for my tv.
1. My Sony Bravia doesnt have bluetooth built in. Is there some kind of attachment i can add to use the headphone?
2. From what i understand, using 1 headphone wouldnt be a problem with supplied bluetooth. But what if i wanted to connect 2 pairs of headphones simultaneously?
Is there some sort of a receiver that i would need to buy?
Thanks!

If it doesn't, you'd need a cable that takes out of the RCA audio outputs and feeds into a mini-TRS jack, then plug the above adapter into that. It may not work too well though, depending on what level the TV outputs from those jacks.  Quote:

| You could use a headphone splitter like this: 
Then plug in two of the above type of adapters. Note that this drops the signal level to both, and if you're also using the RCA adapters, it may fall to an unusable level.
Multipoint Bluetooth supports pairing to multiple devices and switching between them, but not simultaneous connection of more than one.

I have a sennheiser rs160 hooked up to my tv. I've use the wire almost like the first one soundy posted up but instead of the female headphone jack it is the male headphone jack. I use it when I play game when there are too much swearing from other users or when I'm playing GTA V. Works great.

For it to work on your home computer, the driver for the BT dongle has to install as a Windows audio device, essentially like an external sound card, so the mixer can send sound there instead of to the regular outputs. Your TV would not have that capability; in fact, it probably doesn't have support for any kind of BT devices. It would see a USB device attached, but wouldn't know what to do with it.

Never really used the transmitters because I only ever used the headphones with my phone's BT. They're probably still packed away somewhere. I did try them out on the wife's iPod, they worked really well.

Or this one, allows more than 1 pair of headphones to connect with it simultaneously. http://www.amazon.ca/Wireless-Blueto...HA81EAGC40FH7E | |

I always thought about owning a device like that, but never found anything similar. I've been using my Audio Technica M50 wired, but accidents happen when you have a wire crossing the living room...
Thanks for the suggestions (even though I wasn't the one asking).
