Televisions today have several audio reproduction options, in addition to their own speakers and sound bars, users can connect headphones to listen to what’s happening on the screen.

There are several reasons for doing this. For example, do not make too much noise for those around you who are sleeping or working, it is also a good option for those who have hearing problems and with this accessory they have the possibility to adjust the volume to their needs.

For any of these cases, there are various options for connecting the headphones to the TV, wirelessly or with a cable.

How to use headphones on TV

There are different methods for different devices currently in the market. For smaller screens, those 32 inches or smaller, manufacturers include a headphone port, assuming users will have a panel in front, or set it up as a computer monitor.

In this option, it will be enough to connect the headphones directly to the port, and the TV will recognize the device to play audio there.

For those who don’t want to have a cable, the wireless methods are as follows:

radio frequency

This is an alternative that connects the headphones to the TV by radio frequency using its charging base, which allows you to add more than a few devices and not restrict other people’s viewing.

Some brands offer these types of headphones as an alternative to Bluetooth, as they include an adapter to connect this way, however connectivity and audio quality for many devices will be lost due to the latency of this technology.

Bluetooth

This is a very common option, as there are many hearing aids on the market with this connection method, and current TVs already allow this connection method.

Connecting them to the TV will be the same process as in the case of a mobile phone. First you need to put the headphones in pairing mode, then go to the screen audio settings, search for nearby headphones, search for ours and make a link.

The advantage of this option is that these are products that many people already have at home for use on public transport or at work, so no additional costs need to be incurred.

However, the problem will be that many TVs do not support two Bluetooth headphones at the same time, and this technology has latency, which reduces the quality of the audio.

Another alternative is to use streaming media players, in some cases these products allow wireless connectivity or their controls have headphone ports.
