Hello there! We understand your inquiry about connecting two Bluetooth headphones simultaneously to your LG OLED48B4PUA. The OLED48B4PUA is equipped with Bluetooth 5.1, which allows you to pair wireless audio devices such as headphones, soundbars, or speakers. However, this model—like most LG TVs—only supports streaming audio to one Bluetooth device at a time. That said, here’s a quick troubleshooting step to make sure your headphones pair and work correctly: Update Your TV’s Firmware: Before pairing any Bluetooth device, please go to Settings > All Settings > Support > Software Update > Check for Updates. Ensuring your TV is running the latest webOS version can help maintain optimal connectivity. Pairing Your Headphones: Put your primary Bluetooth headphones into pairing mode. On the TV, navigate to Settings > All Settings > Sound > Sound Out > Bluetooth Device List. The TV will scan for nearby devices—select your headphone model when it appears. Once it’s connected, you should hear audio through them. Verifying Single-Device Limit: If you try to pair a second set of headphones using the same steps, you’ll notice that the TV will prompt you to disconnect the first set before connecting another. This is because the OLED48B4PUA does not support dual headphone streaming natively. If you need both listeners to hear audio at once, you can: Use a Bluetooth audio splitter (third-party accessory) plugged into the TV’s Optical (Toslink) audio output or 3.5 mm headphone jack (via adapter). That splitter duplicates the audio signal to two Bluetooth headphones. Alternatively, consider using two pairs of wireless headphones that support a shared connection feature (some headphone brands offer a “Dual Connect” mode through their own app), but this functionality is controlled by the headphone manufacturer rather than the TV itself. If you choose to try a Bluetooth audio splitter, make sure it’s compatible with optical or 3.5 mm outputs and supports low-latency codecs if you’re concerned about audio lag—this can help maintain proper lip-sync with video. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/lg-48-class-b4-series-oled-4k-uhd-smart-webos-tv-2024/6584787.p?skuId=6584787 Should you require further assistance selecting the right accessory or setting up either a splitter or dual-connect headphones, please send us a private message on social media @LGUSSupport.
