tanbk 4th Gear February 6, 2014 Share February 6, 2014 (edited) I have a set of bluetooth headphones and would like to watch my tv with it. Problem is that my TV is not blue-tooth enabled. But it has USB ports. How do I bluetooth enable it? Will just any bluetooth adapter work?

Dark 5th Gear February 6, 2014 Share February 6, 2014 You have to find one supported by your TV model cos your TV is not like a PC where you can install a driver. I hardly heard of bluetooth dongle support for TV (mostly wifi) but I might be wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannot simply just make it bluetooth. If your TV has a 3.5mm headphone jack, buy a bluetooth audio transmitter (NOT receiver) and plug into it. Pair it with your bluetooth headphone and you sort of get a bluetooth enabled TV. I do that too so I can turn up the volume and not disturb anyone at night when I watch movie. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you must make sure it is transmitter and not receiver. It has a battery inside so need to charge but you can just use your USB port on your tv to charge it. Just checked your link. It is the transmitter so it'll work fine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wall power plug no need to use? This one by Q100 is $30. Where did you go to buy yours? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where did you go to buy yours? Yes. No need to use power plug but if you charge while using the transmitter, you might get noise in your headphone as it interferes with the signal. Best to charge it before use. Can last around 2-3 hrs I got mine in Hong Kong. Cheaper at around $22. Not much difference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
