How to connect wireless top bluetooth headphones to your HDTV

By connecting a wireless top bluetooth headphones to your TV, you will be able to twist the volume "to the fullest", without risking a conflict with relatives and neighbors. In this article I'll show you how to use a top bluetooth headphones with HDTV-TV and much more about top bluetooth headphones .

Why connect wireless headphones to the TV?

In this regard, there are two "Why?" First, why do we need headphones for HDTV TV? Here it is possible to give different answers. Each user has its own reason. If a person suffers from a hearing disorder, the top bluetooth headphones save the remaining family members from screaming at the TV all the apartment. Even if obvious hearing loss you have not, but you love to turn on the TV louder or quieter than the rest of the family, a pair of wireless headphones is a great way out. And if someone likes to watch movies or play on the console later in the evening and at night, headphones are a must-have accessory for him.

Secondly, what we need is Bluetooth-headset? Why not infrared or RF-headphones? Wireless top bluetooth headphones for the TV are available for many years. Consider, though, the magnificent Sennhesier RS120s, had gained a lot of positive reviews. But they have one major drawback. Headphones RF permanently attached to the system, purchased with them. Whatever impeccable quality did not give RS120s, but they can only be used with the bulky base-charging to be connected to a TV.

The beauty of Bluetooth-headset is that it is not just wireless, but very flexible solution. You can buy a pair of headphones and use them, along with HDTV, smartphone, iPod'om and any other gadgets that transmit sound via Bluetooth. It is much easier and more economical.

In addition, Bluetooth headphones choice is wide enough, so will not be difficult to find those that are perfect to lie on your ear. The number of models of RF-headphone is limited.

Let's look at how to connect Bluetooth-headset to your TV. With smartphones simple, since this option has long been a standard for them. With the TV situation is a bit more complicated. Modern TVs should also like to support Bluetooth, but in most cases this is not true. We'll have to tinker in order to connect a Bluetooth-headset to the HDTV.

What do we need?

First, we need to understand which channels the sound output from the TV or have attached to it the speaker. Only after that should go to the store for wireless headphones (if you have not already) and Bluetooth-transmitter.

If you are using a TV without additional speakers, then, to examine his collection of ports. If the sound from the TV (and with sources such as Bluray player, game console, and so on) is applied to the speaker system, the study should set its ports. In the second case, we connect wireless headphones not only to TV, but also to all other devices connected to the audio system.

ports-tv Look at the picture. It shows the three main types of audio output, which can be useful to us. Composite: two jacks Left / Right (L / R) are marked with white and red. Familiar to all 3.5mm jack, it is often signed by "Audio". As well as optical output - gray "door" with the signature of "Optical".

The vast majority of widescreen televisions have an optical port, and on the red least one of the remaining two. The composite output jack and provide sound in analog format that does not require conversion (with some models of Bluetooth-adapters you may need an inexpensive adapter). adapter

If the analog output from your TV does not have (which is highly unlikely), you have to buy a digital-to-analog converter connected to the optical output. A good model costs around $ 10.

Select the Bluetooth-transmitter

The most important feature of Bluetooth-transmitter is the number of simultaneously connected headphones. Some wireless headsets can be connected to any transmitter, there are several options for two headphones and you are very unlucky, if it is necessary to simultaneously use more than two Bluetooth-headset.

For one pair of headphones would be an excellent choice Mpow Streambot. For 25-30 USD you get excellent sound quality, as well as two important functions - built-in battery and the presence of not only the signal but also receiving. This means that you can set to receive audio via Bluetooth to other devices. That is, all that transmits sound to the wireless speakers can tune into your Bluetooth-headset without reconnecting. A nice option for which it is not necessary to pay extra.

If you want to connect to a TV, two wireless headphones, adapters greatly narrows the choice, and the price is rising. I have not met Bluetooth-transmitters are cheaper than $ 50. Two wireless headphones can be connected to a TV via Avantree Priva ($ 57). Another good option - Miccus Mini Jack TX4 ($ 58).

Select the Bluetooth-headset to connect to your TV

Selecting Bluetooth headset is almost endless. You can buy a budget model for 700-800 rubles. But they shikanut can find an option price which is comparable to the b / y foreign car.

Personally, I did not chase after the perfect sound and prefer a budget option with a reasonably good sound quality - Beyution Stereo Bluetooth Headphones ($ 23). They are light, but durable. These headphones long battery hold a charge, sitting comfortably on my head and my ears do not have any claims to their sound. To watch TV and movies you hardly need a higher quality.

How to set it up?

Surely you spend more time reading the characteristics of Bluetooth-headset, than at its connection to the TV. This is no big deal.

With the help of the previous section of this article, you identified the audio outputs on the source (TV or Radio). Now is the time to join one of these Bluetooth-transmitter. For 3.5-mm headphone jack or audio output composer transmitter connects directly (as a last resort, through a simple adapter). bluetooth-tv-1

In the case of the optical port will have to use the above-mentioned digital-to-analog converter. It connects to the TV and Bluetooth-transmitter to it.

In the next step we connect wireless headphones to the transmitter. In the case of Priva and many other similar models, you should click on the main button on the device and wait until the light on it flashes. When the light flashes, press and hold the button on the headset. After a few seconds the device must be connected to each other. Put on headphones, turn on the TV and enjoy! bluetooth-tv-2

If there is no sound in the headphones, we first check to see if they are related to Bluetooth-transmitter. Turn off the transmitter input on the TV and switch it with another sound device. For example, a laptop or a smartphone.

If other sound devices play and a TV - no need to go into the settings of your HDTV or audio system. Look in the menu items associated with headphones or external speakers (auxiliary speakers). Some TVs do not serve the sound to external sources, while this option will not be specifically activated.

So, spending relatively little money on additional purchases, we connect wireless Bluetooth headphones to your TV and expanded its multimedia capabilities. As Bluetooth-transmitter and the headphones can be used not only to TV, but also with a variety of other devices.
