Amazing that these answers are so incomplete, so let me explain a bit more fully. To use a Bluetooth (BT) speaker with your TV you need either a TV that has a built-in BT output (not very common) or you must provide your own add-on BT Transmitter that you would connect to a suitable TV audio OUTPUT device. Now here's where things get more complicated. There are two main considerations: (1) lip-sync delay when using BT, and (2) number of SIMULTANEIOUS audio outputs supported by your TV. Let me discuss these separately. 1) Lip Sync. Unless you use a BT Transmitter and also a BT Speaker/Headphone that support APTXLL, you will not be able to obtain lip sync between the video and BT audio. This will annoy you! There is at least ONE inexpensive add-on BT Transmitter that you can add to virtually ANY TV that has one or more audio outputs. It's made by AVANTREE and its the model BTT-418. It's small, works very well (with APTXLL supported headphones or speakers) and it also has the ability to send to two separate BT stereo devices! That is really a nice feature if you need to support headphone audio to two different listeners for example, or one headphone listener and a stereo BT speaker. 2) No. of SIMJULTANEOUS audio outputs supported by your TV or AVR. Most TVs and most Audio-Video Receivers (AVR) will permit ONLY ONE AUDIO OUTPUT to be ON. For example, My LG TV supports Optical, RCA and mini-Phone connections as well as HDMI ARC as input to my AVR. But only ONE of these outputs is capable of delivering audio output. You get to choose which one. So, for example, if I want to use the HDMI ARC support with my AVR, I cannot also port audio out to the BT transmitter! I'd need either one of the rare TVs or AVRs that DO permit simultaneous audio outputs to these two devices, or I can use an add-on products and or possibly a Y-connector at the optical TV output that MIGHT offer an alternative means of obtaining two simultaneous audio outputs, but that's beyond the scope of this reply. So be sure you understand your needs before you purchase your equipment.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes! that is why we bought one, you cannot hear dialogue on the TV w/o turning the volume way up. A youtube video showed me how to link it. we can hear every word and the TV volume is WAY down. my neighbor loves it, too.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No. Maybe you can look into wireless headphones? That might help.
