It depends on the TV. Some TVs can play through speakers and an external audio output together; check the TV audio settings.
Please confirm the exact setup before purchase. Current Avantree sources conflict about Ensemble Pro soundbar passthrough.
Yes. AS50R Aura is the verified add-on headphone. The IUG also describes adding compatible Auracast devices.
