How to Connect your UE Speakers/Headphones to TV Wirelessly?
Can I Connect my Ultimate Ears (UE) Bluetooth Wireless Headphones and/or Speakers to TV and listen to TV through them? - you ask.
Well, No problem! There are TWO ways to do it.
If your TV has built-in Bluetooth capability
(please check your TV's user manual), here's what you do:
1. Get your UE Headphone/Speaker into pairing mode (Please scroll to the bottom of the page or see your Ultimate Ears user manual.)
2. Go into your TV's Bluetooth menu, search & select your UE Headphone/Speaker to connect.
3. You may adjust volume via your TV's remote control.
If your TV does NOT have built-in Bluetooth
Or if you'd like to connect MORE THAN ONE PAIR of headphones to your TV simultaneously, you'll have to connect using a Bluetooth Audio Adapter, somthing like these:
Avantree Orbit (Learn More)
Avantree Oasis Plus (Learn More)
With these, you'll be able to:
- Get extended Bluetooth Range.
- Connect up to TWO PAIRS of headphones to your TV (adapter) simultaneously.
- In the case of Oasis Plus and Orbit, it can be used simultaneously with a SoundBar/Stereo Receiver (AVR) while sharing ONE Digital Optical Port (See THIS ARTICLE for more details regarding this function.)
Here are the Instructions of Connecting using an Adapter:
1. Connect your Bluetooth adapter to Power.
2. Connect the Bluetooth adapter to TV. Our adapters support Digital Optical (aka TOSLINK or SPDIF,) 3.5mm Auxiliary (aka Headphones Jack,) and RCA (Red/White) Audio Output Ports. Please see your adapter's user manual for more details.
3. Get your UE Headphones/Speaker into pairing mode (Please scroll to the bottom of the page or see your UE user manual.)
4. Get your Bluetooth adapter into Bluetooth Pairing mode as well. Please see your user manual if you're not sure how.
5. Keep your UE Headphone/Speaker close to the adapter until they connect.
6. Once connected, if you're using Digital Optical connection, please go to your TV settings menu and change your Digital Audio Format to PCM.
7. And you'd be good to go
