Or Can I connect my Bluetooth headphones to my Roku TV?  Well, you’ve guessed it, you can connect headphones to any of them if you want.

Connecting a pair of headphones to your Roku TV not only allows you to hear it better without disturbing others, but also gives you the liberty to move around your house and not miss out on anything.

Anyway, there are a few different ways to do it.

1. Through the Roku TV Remote.

2. Through a Bluetooth Transmitter Adapter.

3. Directly pairing to the TV’s built-in Bluetooth.

In this article, we’ll walk you through all of them in detail and help you hear your Roku TV through your favorite pair of headphones.

Method 1: Using the Roku Remote.

This method applies to all Roku devices, but you’ll have to use a wired headphone. Every Roku TV comes with a Roku remote, and on the remote there’s a Headphone jack:


Simply plug your wired headphone into the Headphone jack and you should be good to go!

Method 2: Using a Bluetooth Transmitter Adapter.

Method 2 can also be used on any TV, Bluetooth adapters can easily be found and purchased. They look something like this:

With a Bluetooth adapter, you’ll basically be able to add Bluetooth capabilities to your TV and connect your Bluetooth TV headphones and/or speakers to them.

Other benefits of using a Bluetooth transmitter include:

1. Able to connect two Bluetooth headphones/speakers at the same time.
2. No audio lag when used with headphones that support aptX low latency.
3. Some models even support simultaneous audio output through the headphones (that are paired to the transmitter) AND your Sound Bar/AV Receiver… thus “bypassing” the issue where some TVs automatically get muted when something’s plugged into their audio output jacks.
   

Setting up a Bluetooth adapter is quite straight forward; you’ll plug the Bluetooth adapter into your TV’s audio output port, and Bluetooth “Pair” your Bluetooth headphones to the adapter.

There are Headphone + Adapter combos available so you don’t have to purchase them separately. A combo is even easier to use because the headphone is already connected to the adapter, all you’ll have to do is connect the adapter to your TV!

In case there's a friend or family member in your household that also need the assistance of TV Headphones, there are dual wireless headphones for TV which come with TWO Pairs of Headphones + A transmitter, allowing you to enjoy the experience together.

Method 3: Connect via Bluetooth Directly.

If your TV has built-in Bluetooth, you’ll be able to find it in the settings menu. If it’s there, you’ll have to get your headphones into Bluetooth pairing mode and find it in your TV’s Bluetooth menu. Once it shows up, you’ll select it in the menu to connect.
