How to connect your Bluetooth headset if your TV does not Support Bluetooth?

As I mentioned earlier with the help of Bluetooth Audio transmitter, we can connect our wireless headset to our TV which does not support Bluetooth.

Bluetooth Audio Transmitter is an external tool that adds Bluetooth to device in which it is connected thus transmitting audio from one device to another device.

1.  So the first thing one should have is a Bluetooth transmitter.

2.  Pair your Bluetooth headphone to the Bluetooth transmitter.

3.  Connect Bluetooth transmitter to your TV’s headphone audio jack.

4.  Connect it to the USB port to charge up the adapter.

Note: if your TV does not support Bluetooth you need to get one Bluetooth transmitter.

The TV default setting is set to low to protect your hearing when using the headphones. Only increase the volume up to safe limit so you don’t damage your hearing.

These typically come with a base station that plugs into TV via analogue jack or optical and it works on radio frequency instead of Bluetooth.

PlayStation 4

Only specific Bluetooth headsets are supported by PlayStation by using wired headset and plugging them to the headphone jack on the controller may circumvent the restrictions.

Xbox One does not support Bluetooth, newer models have in-built jack, so one need to get a stereo Headset Adapter which you can connect to the bottom of the controller.
