Hey @Deadshotsniper23, do you have a link to the NFC Bluetooth 5.0 transmitter that you own? If your speakers are bluetooth, you should just have to pair them with the bluetooth transmitter and connect the bluetooth transmitter to your TV's AUX port / headphone jack if it has one. Does your TV have a headphone jack or AUX port?
I knew about this and totally forgot about this little trick. I bought a transmitter made by monster 4 years ago and never used it then forgot all about it. Will try it in a few minutes after I post this. Thanks for the reminder. Good video.
1) My TV does not have an auxilliary output jack. So can I plug it into the headphone jack? It does have a socket called PC Audio. and 2) My TV also has two USB-A sockets. So can I keep a cord connected from one of those to the transmitter, so that it remains charged and I don't have to manually charge it evey time?
Hi there, yes, it should work through the headphone jack since that is audio out also. About the USB-A sockets, it should work to power it, but sometimes the sockets do not provide enough power, so you would have to test it out to know for sure.
That's what I was gonna ask. I just got a 2004 tube tv with a headphones jack on the side. I'm gonna try running an adapter out to red and white rca cable to my stereo input jack . If it doesn't work I'll try a transmitter
Many thanks for informative video. One question though: do I need to remove/disconnect the transmitter when I just want to watch/listen to TV through the tv speaker?
Hey there, on some TVs, you can select the audio source, so you can switch between the 3.5 mm audio jack or the TV speaker. If your TV lacks the ability to do this, then you may have to unplug the 3.5mm audio cable from the TV audio port, which can be a pain if it's in a hard to reach area in the back. If you want to test this out without buying a Bluetooth transmitter, you can plug in any pair of wired headphones into your TV's audio port and see if you have the option to choose for the TV to output sound to through the TV speakers. Another option could be to buy both a Bluetooth transmitter and a decent TV soundbar speaker. This way you can actually use a 3.5 mm splitter and plug in both the TV soundbar and the Bluetooth transmitter, then you can simply turn off the TV sound bar when you don't want to use it, since it will be placed in front of your TV in a more accessible area. I hope that makes sense, but let me know if it isn't clear :)
Would it work the other way around (taking the sound from the microphone and playing it on the TV or powered speakers)? If so, this would be useful for some instructors who need to be playing some music over powered speakers, but also need to be talking about it at the same time (e.g. aerobics / zumba / dance)...
Great video. Will this device work if I connect to an Anker bluetooth speaker instead of headphones? I'm assuming yes, but thought I'd check before ordering.
On most TVs, once you insert the cable into the audio out port, the TV will cut output to the built-in TV speakers and only output to the audio port. One way around this is to buy a 3.5 mm audio splitter adapter, then also connect to a TV soundbar so you don't always have to insert and remove the audio jack when you want to use TV sound or headphone sound since you can adjust the soundbar volume independently.
My one of the air pod got connected but not other one makes wired sound like a buzzing. Also I can hear out of one earplug and also can get TV audio. A you please suggest something?
If you use the air pod and both work when connected to a phone, I would try to unpair/forget the airpods on the Bluetooth TV transmitter and then reconnect them back to see if that helps, perhaps only one bud connected? It doesn't make sense that only one would play until there is some kind of mono setting turned on the Bluetooth TV transmitter or on the TV audio menu itself. Maybe you can check for any mono settings and change it to stereo.
Is there a way to set this up to have speakers also playing? Even thinking simple surround sound? My dad is hearing impaired and want him to have earbuds at his volume with us using tv speaker or surround speaker at our volume. Our tv is 2015 so need work around for that
Hey @brendafunari5719, you may be to do this using an audio jack splitter like this: geni.us/ausplit (Affiliate Link). So you would plug in your speakers into one connector end and plug in the Bluetooth Transmitter into the other end. I can't guarantee it work, but it's worth a try.
I have older mode Samsung SmartTV with Soundbar. Do I have to turn the volume off on the Soundbar in order to listen via the Bluetooth transmitter? Or, do I have to physically disconnect the BT transmitter? Also, where does the BT transmitter get it's power from?
If the soundbar connects to the TV by a 3.5 mm audio jack, you would have to disconnect it and plug in the Bluetooth transmitter into the 3.5 mm audio jack on the TV. The Bluetooth transmitter should come with a USB cable that needs to be plugged into a wall to keep it continually powered. If your soundbar has volume control directly on the soundbar, you may be able to buy a 3.5 mm audio splitter accessory so that you can have dual audio connected to the TV's singular 3.5 mm audio port, then you can lower the volume on the soundbar only. If you lower it on the TV, it may not play at all on the Bluetooth transmitter. Btw, which TV model do you have? Some TVs have Bluetooth functionality built into them, negating the need for a Bluetooth transmitter.
What if you have a TVIP 605 SE Linux streaming box connected to Hitachi Roku TV that requires you connect phone app to Bluetooth device and phone connect to TV being in same network. How do i hear audio on TVIP ? Currently i have use hard wire 3.5mm cable and headset
If the TVIP 605 SE has a 3.5 mm audio jack, that is where you would connect a Bluetooth Transmitter. However, if the Hitachi Roku TV currently outputs all sound, then you would have to plug in the Bluetooth Transmitter to the TV's 3.5 mm audio port.
The audio quality likely won't be the same because the codecs in the Bluetooth receivers are usually not the most high tech ones like you'd find in a phone. There are some expensive Bluetooth receivers out there I'm sure which would have high-end codecs though.
I have an iPad connected to my tv. I would like to use blue tooth headphones to hear the videos or shows that I have on my iPad and showing on the tv. I can’t seem to get my wireless transmitter/receiver and Bluetooth headphones to work with this step up.
How is the iPad connected to the TV? Most likely, the iPad's audio and video is output to the TV, and from there, the TV outputs it via the TV's built in speakers. In theory, if you connect the Bluetooth Transmitter to the audio jack on the TV, it should output the sound to the BT transmitter, so you can connect your headphones to hear audio.
yes, the iPad's audio and video is outputed to the TV. I can hear the audio of the iPad on my TV. I connected the bluetooth Transmitter to the audio jack on the TV, the lights on both the transmitter and my bluetooth headphones indicated that they were connected. However the sound is still coming through the tv rather than the headphones. Any other ideas. Really appreciated your quick responds!
Hmm, if you still hear audio out of the TV even with the headphone jack plugged in, I'm wondering if there's more than one headphone jack on the TV or if the Audio Output has to be manually set on the TV. Do you have any old paired of wired headphones or earbuds that you can plug into the TV's headphone jack to see if sound will play through them? If sounds plays through an old pair of wired earbuds or headphones, we know the issue is the Bluetooth transmitter/receiver unit.@@rbird47
I don't know why but the transmitter and my bluetooth headphones connected this morning! I believe I had all the parts connected and set up the same as yesterday but... I am so grateful for your help. I can now watch Netflix while on my treadmill with my bluetooth headphones. Thank you!@@DemCrumblies
Hi! Does this transmitter pair and transmit audio for multiple pairs of headphones? I’m thinking if me and my partner want to watch a movie together for example with our headphones on
So the one I showed in the video is just a basic one, but this one says it allows you to pair two pairs of earbuds: amzn.to/3PqUCVm (Affiliate Link) Just a heads up that I didn't test it, but the product description states it pairs two headphones or earbuds.
Im trying to watch my local TV and such through bluetooth buds. Its easy to pair the little Monster... but it wont work. It beeps on my earbuds, but thats it. Uggghhhh!
Hey Nick, I'm assuming the bluetooth ear buds work fine on your phone right? If they do, do you have another pair you can use to pair with the TV to see if the same issue occurs? I'm not sure if your TV allows it, but is there any setting that you can see to allow you to set the output / audio source in the menu settings to the connected Bluetooth earbuds?
Let me know how it goes Leslie! If possible try to get a Bluetooth transmitter with as high as a Bluetooth version to match your earbuds or earphones so you don't experience any audio delays or lip sync issues.
If you own Bluetooth headphones, you can follow the steps in the this video to pair a Bluetooth transmitter with your Bluetooth headphones once you connect the Bluetooth transmitter to your TV's aux/3.5mm audio port. If you have a newer TV, it may even let you connect your Bluetooth headphones directly to the TV without the need to use a Bluetooth transmitter.
I have some wireless headphones but when i plug the transmitter into the headphone 🎧 jack, it cuts tye soubd from the tv. So to listen to the tv, id have to unplug the receiver each time or plug in when i want to use the headphones so as to not wake my sleeping partner. The tv has no bluetooth. So, im considering a Bluetooth amplifier. If i get a usb one, if i plug thar into the usb, will that cut the tv sound? Will i have to unplug it to listen to the tv? I want avoid that. The tv is a smart tv without bluetooth. (Not very smart!!)
Hey @ktcee803, most likely if you buy the Bluetooth transmitter, the same issue may occur where the TV output only goes to the Bluetooth transmitter, then you have to unplug the audio cable from the TV. One way around this would be to buy a 3.5 mm audio splitter, that way you can connect both the Bluetooth transmitter and an external speaker to the TV. Then you can turn the volume off on the external speaker when you only want to use the headphones, or you can turn off the headphones and just use the volume on the external speaker when you want to watch TV normally. Let me know if that makes sense. If it doesn't, I can share a link to the audio splitter I'm mentioning.
@@DemCrumbliesThank you so much. I'm not tech savvy and I'm trying to set this up for my Mum. What you say makes sense. I think the splitter idea could work. If I place the speaker next to where she is sitting, she could turn off the speaker when using the headphones. That would work? Or if she has Bluetooth speakers, could she switch between the speakers and the headphones without having to get out of her chair or bed?
@@ktcee803 Yep, if you place the speaker next to her, she can adjust the volume up or turn the speaker on when she doesn't want to use the headphones, however, that may require having to buy a longer cable to connect the speaker to the splitter if she sits far away from the TV. I believe some soundbars for TVs come with a small remote, that may be a better route to go, so she can use a remote instead. If she has a Bluetooth speaker, it may work, but some Bluetooth transmitters may only allow pairing of one Bluetooth device, so it may be easier to use a TV soundbar that has a remote to adjust the volume, or to turn it off or on I think.
@@DemCrumblies I've REALLY appreciated your help. I reckon what you've said will work. I'll se what's available. I may even have a splitter here in our box of electronics and cords. It's a shame all TVs can't be the same but you get what you pay for I guess. Thanks again. You are very kind.
Hey darlin1951, which bluetooth transmitter did you buy? Can you plug in a pair of headphones into the TCL TV's audio port to confirm that audio is working from that port? Once you confirm that, then you know that if the bluetooth transmitter is also plugged into the same audio port, then there may be another issue such as pairing or the unit is defective.
If your TV doesn't have an audio port or Bluetooth functionality built in, unfortunately I can't think of a way around that. Which model of TV do you have btw? I've never come across one that doesn't have an audio port.
Sony TVs usually have ports. It may be located under the panel with the HDMI outputs if it isn't near the HDMI ports. It can be hard to really see if it's wall mounted.@@unknownperson480
I don't have 3.5 mm jack in my tv and I belive most of tv does not have. this video is basically useless for 80% of people out there. :( I have HDMI Jack. can I use that in any way?
That's strange, which TV model do you have? I have both an LG C1 released in 2021 and a Toshiba TV, which both have audio jacks. My parents have both a Samsung TV and Sony TV with audio jacks also. An HDMI jack won't work for the Bluetooth transmitter.
I have a smart TV model no. UE22H5610AK has no 3.5mm audio jack. Has RCAAudio and RCA Aux and HDMI USB connections what should I do as I want to use my Bluetooth earpods at night?
