How did I earn the nickname 'headphone guy' here at Crutchfield? Through extensive training, research, and good old-fashioned hands-on experience. I've spent thousands of hours listening to different models, and thousands more writing about them. My other areas of expertise include voice control, streaming audio and video, and power protection.
My love of headphones started back when I was in elementary school, and my parents gave me a Walkman. I still love the intimate, wonderfully detailed sound you can get from the right headphone setup.
I spent the first eight years of my Crutchfield career in our customer support department. Listening to thousands of customer stories gave me real-world insights into what makes people happy.

How To Connect Wireless Headphones To Tv Without Bluetooth
Jeff's passion for headphones and his commitment to hands-on experience exemplify Crutchfield's mission to exceed our customers' expectations by providing an abundance of helpful information.
More from Jeff Miller
There are two main reasons people ask our Advisors about using headphones to watch TV. They have some hearing loss, which usually means they have trouble hearing what the people on the screen are saying. Or they want to watch TV without disturbing family members. Images teenage mutant ninja turtles weapons.
We offer a few headphone solutions for both situations. I’ll take you through your options, explain the advantages and limitations of each, and show you how they work.
What is the best way to watch TV with headphones?
My go-to recommendation is still a dedicated Wireless TV headphone system. These transmitter-based systems are the easiest to setup and use from scratch. In fact, I set up my own 90-year-old grandmother with one of Sennheiser’s popular RS-series headphones.
Crutchfield Art Director Jason reads a book, undisturbed, while his husband Ryan watches TV using Sennheiser TV headphones.
But if you already own a pair of Bluetooth headphones, or plan on getting some soon, I’ve got good news. In the last few years, Bluetooth has become a viable way to listen to TV sound wirelessly.
How does a transmitter-based system work?
These systems consist of two main parts: a transmitter and a headset. The transmitter connects to your TV and sends an audio signal wirelessly to the included headset. You can get up to 300 feet of wireless range.
At my grandmother’s 90th birthday, she told me about her TV sound problem. The built-in speakers on her flat screen are not very good, and she has to blast the volume to understand dialogue in her shows. She recently moved in with my aunt’s family, and didn’t want to bother others by keeping the TV up so loud.
The Sennheiser RS 175 wireless TV headphones have been our best-sellers for years.
I knew right away that a transmitter-based system would be best, so I chose the top-selling RS 175. I knew it would be easy for her to operate. Volume controls and sound presets like “speech” are right on the headset.
Also, the transmitter and headset are paired out of the box. So she doesn’t have to re-pair every time she wants to use them, like she would with Bluetooth headphones.
How do you connect the transmitter to the TV?
You can connect the transmitter to your TV, cable box, or stereo pretty easily. It typically only takes one wire.
The wireless transmitter connects to your TV with just one wire.

All Sennheiser and Sony models include miniplug or RCA connection cables. Most of the Sennheiser RS series transmitters can also connect using an included optical digital cable.
Check your TV's output connections and manual before buying, or give us a call.
You can even connect the Sony WH-L600 via HDMI to a TV with an HDMI ARC (audio return channel) input.
What if others want to hear the TV while you use the headphones?
There are usually ways to make this work, though it depends on your TV/Audio setup. My grandmother pretty much only watches cable shows, so we connected the RS-175’s transmitter directly to the audio output on the cable box. Since the box is connected to the TV via HDMI, audio plays through both the headphones and the TV speakers.
Connect the transmitter to your cable box's audio ouput, so that others can still hear sound from the TV.
Are there TV headphones for people who have trouble hearing?
While the Sennheiser RS 175 headphones are more of an all-purpose choice, Sennheiser also makes wireless TV headphones that target specific hearing issues. The over-ear RS 195 headphones have special presets for those who have trouble understanding shows or movies. On-ear buttons let you boost speech, suppress annoying loud noises, and compensate for quieter television scenes.
Best wireless headphones for movies and gaming
Wireless headphones can be a cost-effective alternative to a home theater system. They take up very little space and can deliver cinematic sound — whispered dialogue, drama-building musical scores, explosive sound effects. Plus, when my wife and kids are asleep, I like that I can enjoy action movies without waking anyone up.
The Sony WH-L600 wireless TV headphone system features simulated, yet realistic 7.1 channel surround sound. I watched a Serena Williams tennis match through them, and could really sense the power and sheer force-of-will she puts into every strike. And the crescendo of the crowd grew with each set, pulling me further into the moment.
Sony's headphone designers took advantage of their company's connections in the entertainment world. 'Theater' mode creates a virtual surround sound field that's based on a Sony Pictures sound-mixing process. And Sony's PlayStation® developers helped design the “Game’ mode.
I tried out the Astro A50 headset for both video games and movies in the Crutchfield gaming lounge.
Speaking of video games, the Astro A50 wireless headset and base station is designed for gaming, but works well for TV and movies, too. It connects like the other transmitter systems. The base station plugs into the TV or game system and beams audio wirelessly.
Serious gamers use directional and spatial awareness cues they hear to their competitive advantage. The A50s sonic characteristics add realism to TV sound, too. I tried them in the Crutchfield gaming lounge, and they were just as effective with a high-speed movie chase as they were with a PS4 racing game.
Can you use wired headphones to watch TV?
Most TVs don't have a headphone jack, but you can get the Sennheiser Flex 5000 wireless system. It works like the other wireless transmitter systems, but lets you plug in the headphones you know and love.
The Flex 5000's wireless receiver has a 3.5mm minijack so you can connect and listen through your favorite wired headphones.
How do you use Bluetooth headphones to hear TV sound?
The Soundcast VGtx transmitter is the best solution we offer. It connects to your TV or sound system and sends audio signals wirelessly to your headphones.
I’ve tried other Bluetooth transmitters in the past, and while they got the job done, they had their limitations. What sets the VGtx apart is the improved Bluetooth chipset and larger antenna. You get a much faster, stronger signal, with up to 150 feet of wireless range.
The Soundcast VGtx transmitter beams audio wirelessly to your Bluetooth headphones.
Just be warned – it can be a bit of a bear when you first pair up your headphones. That’s the main complaint we’ve heard from customers, and I had some trouble at first. There’s no onscreen menu, so you have to completely rely on what you hear.
The good news is that after you pair up once, the headphones usually connect to the transmitter pretty reliably after that. Our Tech Support team can help walk you through the initial setup.
What about TVs with Bluetooth?
Several newer TVs have built-in Bluetooth transmitting capabilities. They will deliver wireless audio to any pair of Bluetooth headphones. You can find this option in the TV’s sound setting menu.
I found the Bluetooth audio option in the sound menu of my LG OLED TV.
I’ve tried this at home with my LG OLED TV, and it worked pretty well as long as I stayed in my living room. Standard Bluetooth has limited range, so the signal dropped out whenever I left the room and went in the kitchen.
I’ve tested with this with a few other TVs here at Crutchfield, and I’ve noticed that audio and video don’t always sync up. You can occasionally get the dreaded 'dubbed movie effect.' No TV brand or model seems to be any better or worse for this, and it was more or less noticeable, depending on what I was watching.
Some TVs have settings and adjustments that help you correct this issue. But I found that other TVs won’t let you make adjustments when paired with Bluetooth. One suggestion is to turn the TV off and turn it back on with the Bluetooth audio 'on' to re-pair.
This is another area where the superior chipset in the Soundcast VGtx transmitter helps. It includes aptX™ Low Latency, a wireless technology that keeps the audio and video in better sync. To take advantage of this, your headphones also have to have the Low Latency aptX chip built in. And keep in mind the wired connection to your TV can also cause sync issues, so you still might have to dive into the TV settings and make adjustments.
Best Bluetooth headphones for TV
There are many headphones that will work well for watching TV. For the most part, the ones that sound good for music can handle all the high peaks and deep impact you get from a movie or TV soundtrack. But here are a few that I like for very specific reasons:
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless: True wireless earbuds – the ones with no cord connecting the two earpieces – might not be the first type of headphones you think of for TV watching. But these Sennheisers have a lot going for them. They are not only the best-sounding true wireless earbuds available, but they're also our best-sounding headphones with aptX Low Latency.
With no wires, I could turn and move however I wanted — nothing obstructed my head from sinking into the cushions.
I tried them with the SoundCast VGtx and the video and audio synced up nicely – no matter what I was watching. It was really liberating to move around with the ultra light earbuds and absolutely no cord to weigh me down or get caught up on anything. And when I sat on the couch, it was easier to relax wearing these than most of the over-ear TV headphones I’ve tried.
Audeze Mobius: These unique headphones were developed primarily as a gaming headset, but they are just as good for TV. I’ve written an in-depth review, but here are two quick reasons why these are a great choice for TV watching:
- They are the only wireless headphones with top-shelf planar-magnetic drivers.
- Audeze has incorporated head-tracking and surround processing for a one-of-a-kind headphone experience.
Here’s how I described that experience: “You get the audio equivalent of a Virtual Reality visual experience. You feel like you are in the scene unfolding on your screen or monitor.”
Jenny, Crutchfield IT specialist, enjoys the Mobius headphones in our gaming lounge here at HQ.
When we first tried the headphones, I set up an informal demo at my desk. I played YouTube videos on my computer, connected the headphones, and invited my co-workers over.
We pulled up a clip of the martial arts classic House of Flying Daggers. Everyone enjoyed the sound of bamboo spears flying from all directions. And when the characters started speaking, I told everyone to move their head, so they could see that the dialogue was still coming from the “front.”
Sony WH-1000XM3: So far I’ve talked a lot about wearing TV headphones, so you don’t disturb others. But you can also ensure others don’t bother you with noise-canceling headphones. Sony’s flagship model features adaptive noise-canceling circuitry.
Sony's best noise-canceling headphones help block out external sounds so you can focus on your show or movie.
This special technology takes your surroundings into account, then adjusts the level of noise-cancellation. The drivers are tuned for strong bass, so effects will have full impact – but it’s not at the expense of the midrange clarity and high frequency detail.

Now playing:Watch this: 4 ways to connect wireless headphones to any TV
So you want to watch television at night without disturbing others trying to sleep. Or maybe you prefer to block out the noise of your surroundings -- like that annoying dog next door who won't stop barking -- while catching up on The Flash.
Connecting wireless headphones to your television doesn't have to be difficult, and there are several ways you can pull it off, regardless of what TV you have.
Dedicated wireless headphones
If you're like most people, your TV doesn't have built-in Bluetooth. But the workaround for connecting wireless headphones is so simple and cheap, it's not a huge problem.
One the most straightforward ways to use wireless headphones with your TV is to purchase dedicated wireless headphones. These typically come with a base station that plugs into the television via 3.5mm analog jack or optical and work over radio frequency instead of Bluetooth, which comes with one main advantage: range. Bluetooth headphones are typically limited to 30 feet, give or take. RF headphones often have a far superior range -- closer to 300 feet when unobstructed.
There is a catch, however. If you do not have another audio device connected to your television through that jack, such as a sound bar, you'll have to swap it for the headphones when you want to go wireless.
But if your sound bar is connected through either optical or digital outputs, you can leave the wireless headphones connected without interfering with normal audio playback.
You can find wireless headphones for your television for anywhere from $20 to upwards of $300 and the audio quality will vary substantially.
Bluetooth headphones
A dedicated set of headphones for your TV might have its advantages, but if you already have a nice pair of headphones you'd prefer to use, you might be able to make it work with things you already own or for even less.
If your headphones are Bluetooth, all you really need is a Bluetooth transmitter. Transmitters can be found online or at your local electronics retailers for as little as $15.
Basically, it takes the 3.5mm or RCA output from your television and transmits it as a Bluetooth signal. You will need a power source -- usually USB -- which you might be able to tap from the USB port on the television or plug into a power strip around your entertainment system. Once you pair the transmitter with your Bluetooth headphones, setup is complete and you can begin watching shows or movies with the audio streaming through your favorite headphones.
Using a Bluetooth transmitter will leave you with the same issue as a pair of dedicated wireless headphones, though. If you're not using another 3.5mm output device, like a sound bar, you may have to disconnect the Bluetooth transmitter from the 3.5mm or RCA jacks to restore volume to the television's internal speakers.
Media Streamers
Some set-top boxes -- such as Roku, Apple TV and Android TV boxes -- allow you to connect headphones and listen to your movies and TV shows in private. This is often one of the most hassle-free ways to connect headphones to your television.
Android TV
Support for Bluetooth audio devices on Android TV boxes is hit or miss. Some support Bluetooth, but only for use with a keyboard and mouse. Others, do support Bluetooth headphones, and you pair them just as you would with any other Android device. Put the headphones into pairing mode, go to Settings > Bluetooth and select the headphones when they appear.
The Nvidia Shield Controller also has a headphone jack built-in, so you can use wired headphones with the controller if you don't have Bluetooth headphones on hand.
Apple TV
Apple TV will allow you to connect Bluetooth headphones. Just put the headphones into pairing mode and go to Settings > Remotes and Devices > Bluetooth. Wait for the headphones to appear and select them to pair and connect.
Amazon Fire TV
You can pair Bluetooth headphones with the Amazon Fire TV and Fire TV Stick. Just put your Bluetooth headphones in pairing mode and on the Fire TV or Fire TV Stick, go to Settings > Controllers and Bluetooth Devices > Other Bluetooth Devices. Once your headphones appear under Discovered Devices, select them to complete pairing.
Roku
Depending on which model Roku and Roku remote you have, you can either use private listening through the Roku app or plug wired headphones into the jack on the remote.
To use private listening with the Roku app, download the Roku app to your Android or iOS device and make sure your phone is connected to the same wireless network as your Roku. Open the app and connect either wired or Bluetooth headphones to your phone and private listening will be enabled. Disconnect the headphones to disable private listening.
The Roku 3 ($119 at Walmart), Roku Premiere+, Roku 4 and Roku Ultra all come with remotes that feature headphones jacks.
Gaming consoles
If you have a gaming console plugged into your television, you can use it for wireless audio. But there's a catch. Bluetooth support is spotty and you'll need wired headphones.
PlayStation 4
The PlayStation 4 will only supports specific Bluetooth headsets. There is also a workaround which requires a USB Bluetooth adapter that circumvents the restriction, but it still doesn't work with all Bluetooth headsets and headphones.

Your best bet is using wired headphones and plugging them into the 3.5mm headphone jack on the controller. Just make sure to select the proper audio device in settings, under Settings > Devices > Audio Devices > Output to headphones.
Xbox One
The Xbox One does not support Bluetooth, so your hopes of a truly wireless experience are dead. But, like with the PlayStation 4, you can plug your headphones into the 3.5mm jack on the controller.
Unfortunately, not all Xbox One controllers are created equal. Newer models have the 3.5mm jack built-in. With an older wireless controller, you will need to purchase the Stereo Headset Adapter, which plugs into the bottom of the controller and gives it a 3.5mm jack and volume and microphone controls.
