Does this LG OLED permit the simultaneous connection of two bluetooth headsets? Unfortunately we received conflicting advice from the in-store staff and we are seeking clarification. Thanks null

First the bottom line: With our newly acquired LG OLED77CXPUA we needed to provide two listeners with independent volume control through headsets while allowing the TV speakers to also function at its own volume. The solution we found was two pair of Sennheiser HDR 175 headsets which will both simultaneously link to the Sennheiser transmitter TR 175. This TR175 is then plugged into the Audio Headphone Out jack on the back of the LG TV. Then we used the TV setting for Sound Output “Wired Headphones + Internal TV Speakers”. Boom…TV speakers ON, two wireless headsets ON, all three happy campers with independent volume control. (No, I have no vested interest in, or affiliation with, either LG or Sennheiser.)
This is the URL to the LG on-line manual which describes these features on this TV.

Unfortunately, I believe that it is not possible to achieve this arrangement using Bluetooth devices for a couple of reasons. 
First, although the TV will pair to two Bluetooth headsets it will only allow an output to one at a time and I could find no workaround…. perhaps someone has more experience.
Second, if you select Sound Out to Bluetooth then the Internal TV Speakers are turned OFF. LG’s Sound Out options list does not include a Bluetooth + Internal TV Speakers. 
You can try the Sound Out as Bluetooth Surround + Internal TV Speakers and both a single Bluetooth headset and the TV speakers will function, but the Bluetooth audio is not synchronized and the volume setting of the two is coupled. (There is an Audio Delay feature, but it only increased the Bluetooth headset delay. Similarly, there is a Surround Level adjustment, but this is just an offset between the speakers and headset and therefore does not allow for independent volume control.) This Bluetooth Surround + Internal Speakers mode is really intended to couple up to two LG Bluetooth surround speakers as presented in their list for Dual Connection Support List…LG-PK5…etc.
