How to connect wireless headphones to any TV
So you want to watch television at night without disturbing others trying to sleep. Or maybe you prefer to block out the noise of your surroundings -- like that annoying dog next door who won't stop barking -- while catching up on The Flash.
Connecting wireless headphones to your television doesn't have to be difficult, and there are several ways you can pull it off, regardless of what TV you have.
Dedicated wireless headphones
If you're like most people, your TV doesn't have built-in Bluetooth. But the workaround for connecting wireless headphones is so simple and cheap, it's not a huge problem.
One the most straightforward ways to use wireless headphones with your TV is to purchase dedicated wireless headphones. These typically come with a base station that plugs into the television via 3.5mm analog jack or optical and work over radio frequency instead of Bluetooth, which comes with one main advantage: range. Bluetooth headphones are typically limited to 30 feet, give or take. RF headphones often have a far superior range -- closer to 300 feet when unobstructed.
There is a catch, however. If you do not have another audio device connected to your television through that jack, such as a sound bar, you'll have to swap it for the headphones when you want to go wireless.
But if your sound bar is connected through either optical or digital outputs, you can leave the wireless headphones connected without interfering with normal audio playback.
You can find wireless headphones for your television for anywhere from $20 to upwards of $300 and the audio quality will vary substantially.
Bluetooth headphones
A dedicated set of headphones for your TV might have its advantages, but if you already have a nice pair of headphones you'd prefer to use, you might be able to make it work with things you already own or for even less.
If your headphones are Bluetooth, all you really need is a Bluetooth transmitter. Transmitters can be found online or at your local electronics retailers for as little as $15.
Basically, it takes the 3.5mm or RCA output from your television and transmits it as a Bluetooth signal. You will need a power source -- usually USB -- which you might be able to tap from the USB port on the television or plug into a power strip around your entertainment system. Once you pair the transmitter with your Bluetooth headphones, setup is complete and you can begin watching shows or movies with the audio streaming through your favorite headphones.
Using a Bluetooth transmitter will leave you with the same issue as a pair of dedicated wireless headphones, though. If you're not using another 3.5mm output device, like a sound bar, you may have to disconnect the Bluetooth transmitter from the 3.5mm or RCA jacks to restore volume to the television's internal speakers.

Some set-top boxes -- such as Roku, Apple TV and Android TV boxes -- allow you to connect headphones and listen to your movies and TV shows in private. This is often one of the most hassle-free ways to connect headphones to your television.
Android TV
Support for Bluetooth audio devices on Android TV boxes is hit or miss. Some support Bluetooth, but only for use with a keyboard and mouse. Others, do support Bluetooth headphones, and you pair them just as you would with any other Android device. Put the headphones into pairing mode, go to Settings > Bluetooth and select the headphones when they appear.
The Nvidia Shield Controller also has a headphone jack built-in, so you can use wired headphones with the controller if you don't have Bluetooth headphones on hand.
Apple TV
Apple TV will allow you to connect Bluetooth headphones. Just put the headphones into pairing mode and go to Settings > Remotes and Devices > Bluetooth. Wait for the headphones to appear and select them to pair and connect.
Amazon Fire TV
You can pair Bluetooth headphones with the Amazon Fire TV and Fire TV Stick. Just put your Bluetooth headphones in pairing mode and on the Fire TV or Fire TV Stick, go to Settings > Controllers and Bluetooth Devices > Other Bluetooth Devices. Once your headphones appear under Discovered Devices, select them to complete pairing.
Roku
Depending on which model Roku and Roku remote you have, you can either use private listening through the Roku app or plug wired headphones into the jack on the remote.
To use private listening with the Roku app, download the Roku app to your Android or iOS device and make sure your phone is connected to the same wireless network as your Roku. Open the app and connect either wired or Bluetooth headphones to your phone and private listening will be enabled. Disconnect the headphones to disable private listening.
The Roku 3, Roku Premiere+, Roku 4 and Roku Ultra all come with remotes that feature headphones jacks.
Facebook admitted on Tuesday it did have data sharing partnerships with four Chinese companies, including the world's third largest smartphone manufacturer, Huawei, even though the company was under intense scrutiny from the United States intelligence agencies for security concerns, according to Reuters. The company said Huawei, computer company Lenovo Group, and other smartphone makers OPPO and TCL Corp were among the nearly 60 companies which received access to some user data after signing contracts with Facebook. The New York Times first reported on the practice over the weekend, prompting several members of Congress to raise concerns about the scheme since the data of users' friends could have been accessed without their full, explicit consent. Facebook dismissed those concerns and said the data access was only to allow its users to access specific account features when using mobile devices. The social media giant said more than half the partnerships with corporations hav...
HINCHE, Haiti _ Rain pummeled the ragged dirt highway outside the walled compound of Midwives for Haiti. Inside the non-profit’s headquarters, a handful of staffers and volunteers on a medical mission from Florida thought they were in for the night after a long day providing care. That’s when MFH education director Cindy Siegel’s cell phone rang. It was clinical director Perrine Stock, calling from the rundown public hospital a mile away where women deliver on bare gurneys unless they bring bed sheets, buckets are their only toilets, electricity is sporadic, and the maternity ward lacks running water. A day earlier, a 26-year-old with soaring blood pressure gave birth to a very premature baby that died in delivery. A few hours later the woman suffered a seizure associated with eclampsia _ a major killer of women in Haiti. As her grieving relatives stood vigil outside the ward, her condition worsened.
