You might want to watch your favorite shows quietly with someone else at night, or you might both like the TV at different volumes.

Most TVs can’t connect two Bluetooth headphones at the same time by default. But there is a way around it.

The newest version of Bluetooth and a Bluetooth TV adapter make it possible to connect two Bluetooth headphones to a TV, iPhone, Android, PC, or Mac.

Here’s a quick explanation of how to do it.

List of What’s Inside

How to Get Two Bluetooth Headphones to Work with a TV

Here are the steps you need to take if you want to use a Bluetooth Adapter for TV to link your TV to your wireless headphones.

1. Start by getting a Bluetooth transmitter for your TV that works with your TV. The 1Mii B03 Bluetooth 5.0 Transmitter Receiver is a great choice because it can send to two devices at once.
2. Before you can turn on the Bluetooth transmitter, you have to plug it into a power source. A USB power cable and a power adapter are included with the 1Mii.
3. After you turn on the transmitter, connect it to your TV’s audio output. The 1Mii comes with a 3.5mm audio cable, an optical cable, and a 3.5mm female to RCA male cable.
4. Then, your Bluetooth headphones must be paired with the transmitter. To make sure the connection is strong, you should do this close to the transmitter.
5. That’s the end of the story. Two Bluetooth devices can listen to your TV at the same time if they are paired.

Best Bluetooth Adapters for TV

Bluetooth TV adapters are a great way to fix a wide range of sound problems when watching TV. You might like to watch movies late at night but don’t want to wake up the kids. Parents can get a lot out of headphones.

Is the sound on your TV not loud enough? Does your partner complain that you watch TV too loudly? With a Bluetooth transmitter for your TV and two sets of headphones, each set of headphones can have its own volume control.
