Need bluetooth headset to hear TV.

[West of the Rockies]

Bad hearing, need a headset (Bluetooth or otherwise) to hear TV.

Some TVs are advertised with Bluetooth capabilities.

Anybody with experience using these, and is a dongle (Bluetooth or
something else) needed to be plugged into the tv?

They you should be able to pair the headphones directly to your TV.

I don't think that you need a dongle (=Bluetooth transceiver) if your
TV supports Bluetooth. If it doesn't support Bluetooth directly, I
don't think that a Bluetooth dongle will work if not specified by the
TV manufacturer.

If your TV has bluetooth capabilities you just need Bluetooth head
phones which will detect your headphones in your TV setup.

You can also get a bluetooth "dongle" that will plug into your TV
audio plug/jack

Easily connect most computer speakers, home stereo systems or AV
receivers via the 3.5 mm or RCA inputs. Plug the Bluetooth Audio
Receiver into an AC power source.

you then need Bluetooth earphones $300 or over is my gauge

Not sure but TV's with bluetooth are getting cheaper shop around

Wrong device! That's a Bluetooth receiver, 'West of the Rockies' needs
a Bluetooth *transmitter*.

I have a Bluetooth transmitter, actually a transmitter and a receiver,
for exactly the OP's use - listening to the (non-Bluetooth) TV, via a
Bluetooth headset -, but as I live in The Netherlands, that's of little
use to the OP.

What you need is something like this:

Run a cable from the TV to this device, then you can listen to the TV
through bluetooth speakers.

Further to this, TV finally arrived, usual excuses re the delay.

It has WiFi, not Bluetooth, and can be connected via the same WiFi
network the TV is using to connect to my router, for YouTube etc.using
the the LG app, looks like an el cheapo brand (Linsar) from LG.

Has an LG OS call WebOS, whatever that is.

Presumably now I would need wifi headset? What difficulties could I
expect in getting them to work, so I could hear the dialogue, or a
wasted exercise?

Or should I stick to
https://avantree.com/audikast-plus-bluetooth-5.0-transmitter-for-tv as
previously advised? Bloody bad design as well this TV, the ports are on
the back, and it now has been wall mounted. Idiots should have placed
them on the side of the TV.

Unfortunately not all programs have subtitles.

Once again, thanks, in advance.

You should have checked the manual before buying it.

What does the manual say about that ?

It clearly needs to be able to do wifi headsets.

You should have thought of that before mounting it on the wall
and used a swing out mount for the TV. Lots of them available.

> Unfortunately not all programs have subtitles.

Yeah, discovered that with the reality TV series Murder Case
which is Glasgow Scotland detectives trying to solve murders.
Most of the cops arent too bad, but some of the members of
the public really need subtitles and the producers dont bother
with any subitles at all.

Of course Roddles. Grateful for whatever advice you give. On my way

Looks to me like you bought outdated stock?

As long as there is a working audio jack (get a extension audio jack
to avoid future reaching behind TV) a wifi headset transmitter plugs
in there, retransmits to your wifi headset.
Make sure it comes with a transmitter and Australian power point plug
for it. (Should be OK? JbHiFi stock)
Just put the headset on transmitter stand when through recharges its
batteries

$149 they are pretty good sound (3D, high quality better than TV
sound) what I use, but you can always pay more and more
