I believe they choose automatically based on active input signal. You may need to press the play/pause button once something is playing. I've paired with my laptop and smartphone, needed to do some tinkering like that to switch between devices. Don't know how you can choose to output from TV. Also, not extremely compatible with all laptops. Win10 should be able to work well though.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.85h stores 8 devices, but only simultaneously switch between 2. Try disconnecting from your s8 when you want to listen to the TV. Compatibility between these interfaces cross brands can get a little wonky.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I've had these cans for one day and naively thought I could hear two sources at the same time. This would have been handing while working and listening to my iPhone while also hearing alerts from my MacBook. But of course, this is just not how it works! But I did find that switching between devices seems to work by pausing anything that's playing, take the headphones off, twisting the cups to disconnect, then twisting back to reconnect to both devices. Then I play the device I'm switching to. I have to do it pretty quick if a call comes over my MacBook to switch, but the Jabras themselves don't take a lot of time to connect, so it works pretty well.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Well, I did follow the directions in first answer. Disconnected 85h from phone, and now it works well with Samsung TV through bluetooth connection. However that leads to more questions. 1) Wihout the connection to phone at the same time, I can not get the equalizer to customize sound through My moment. Is there some way to set up equalizer customization on phone, before I disconnect it from 85h, so TV can get customized my moment sound from the headphone? For me, it will be speech for dialogue clarity in movies. 2) Can the next firmware update allow seamless connection from one to second device like Bose QuietComfort 35 II. (I had bought and returned it since it was not waterproof). Thus we can stay connected to phone and have customization for the second device like TV. Since jabra+ app cannot be installed on Samsung Smart TV, can such customization be facilitated some other way?
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hello BJ - Please make sure that Bluetooth is enabled on your Samsung TV. It may be beneficial to pair the TV with your Jabra Elite 85h headphones after they are paired with your phone. You may also want to test by turning off the Bluetooth feature in your phone to see if the Elite 85h connects to your TV.
