Will not turn off tv speakers
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, depending on the type of audio output your TV has, you can still hear sound through your TV's speakers and they will both be able to watch at the same time. Namely, if your TV has a digital optical audio output (also known as a TOSLINK or Optical S/PDIF connection), then you will be able to use this device with Bluetooth headphones AND hear the TV's built-in speakers simultaneously, so others can still listen to the TV without headphones. If your TV does not have an optical audio output but has red/white RCA "audio out" connectors, then it varies depending on TV make/model. Some TVs will have a setting in the audio menu that will allow you to enable the TV speakers while also using the RCA audio output. If your TV only has a headphone jack, then your TV will most likely mute the built-in speakers when you plug this device in, which means others won't be able to listen.
