How to Connect Bluetooth Headphones to a TV with no bluetooth.

Hey , what's up guys ?

Welcome back to my channel .

So in this video today , I'm gonna be showing you how to connect a pair of Bluetooth headphones or earphones to a TV that does not support Bluetooth .

So for this , you're going to need a Bluetooth receiver and you're also going to need a pair of Bluetooth headphones or earphones .

Now , you want to make sure that the pair of Bluetooth earphones that you're going to use for this project are a relatively good pair since you don't want to have that delay with the audio when watching TV , with your headphones .

So if you plan on doing this with a cheap pair of Bluetooth earphones , you'll probably have delay with audio .

So with that all said , I'm going to be demonstrating this with two Bluetooth receivers .

So the first one is unbranded , the model number on that is an SK BT I 029 and the second one is an Archer BT 07 .

Now , both of these Bluetooth receivers were sent out to me by a cheer from Amazon .

So I'll put links to both of these Bluetooth receivers in the description below , but essentially you can do this with any Bluetooth receiver .

So long as you do have these same input .

So in both of these Bluetooth receivers , you have a total of three ways in connecting them to your TV , in order to transmit the audio to a pair of Bluetooth earphones .

So starting first with the easiest way and that is with the headphone jack .

So if you're fortunate enough that your TV has a headphone jack , then you can simply plug this in with the auxiliary cable to your tv's headphone jack and then to the Bluetooth receiver .

Now , if your TV does not have a headphone jack , you're going to have to do it through the component cables .

And the component cable that I'm talking about is this white and red cable .

This is the component cable .

Actually , it's a component to 3.5 millimeter jack cable and you would basically plug that into the left and right channel output on your TV .

Now , some really older televisions don't have these ports or they might be occupied .

So if this is the case by you , then you might want to use the S PDF output port on your TV .

And S PDF stands for Sony Phillips digital interface .

In short , we just call it the digital port .

So starting first with the headphone jack way .

So if your TV has a headphone jack , you're going to put that switch all the way on the right side to auxiliary and you're going to put that other switch to TX mode .

Now , if you go the root of the component cables , you're just going to add this onto the auxiliary cable and that's pretty much it .

And I actually recommend doing it this way with the component cables .

Since when I tried connecting both Bluetooth receivers to a headphone jack .

I kept getting cutouts within my listening experience .

I found that with the component cables for some reason , it's a more stable connection .

But regardless doing it both these ways , you're going to keep the settings the same .

Now , if you decide to go the digital way , what you're going to do is take this digital cable , plug it into the S PDF in TX and then you're going to go on the side settings , switch that to S PDF and then leave that at TX .

Now take the other end of the digital cable plug that into the digital output on your TV and that's pretty much it .

So now comes the headphone pairing .

So go ahead now and put your Bluetooth headphones or earphones in the pairing mode .

Usually this is done by holding the power button until you see the flashing blue and red lights .

Then on the Bluetooth transmitter device , you want to hold it for about 7 to 9 seconds and now it should basically be paired .

Now on our Cheer device , this is done a little bit differently .

So first you're going to click on the middle button in order to turn the device on and then under that , you'll see this arrow circle button and you're basically going to press on that .

And now you should have a green blinking light and then when it starts to blink green slowly , that's how you know you are paired .

Now , at this point , assuming your TV is already on it , you're going to start hearing audio coming out of your Bluetooth headphones or earphones .

Now , one more thing you will need to do with this device is with the supplied micro USB cable , you'll have to plug it into the device and plug it into a power outlet .

So usually some TV S have the USB ports .

You can just plug that into the USB port on your TV , then plug the micro USB into the device and that will basically charge the device 24 7 .

Another thing you can do if you don't have the USB port is you can have the device plugged into a USB power brick , so like a phone charging cube or something like that .

Now , if the cable is too short , you can just switch it out for another cable .

You should most definitely have one laying around the house .

I mean , everybody has some micro USB cables .

I have like 20 of them in my room .

So anyway , you should be all set and there you go , there you have it .

That's how you get audio from your TV to your Bluetooth earphones .

Now , when it comes to both of these Bluetooth receivers , the Archer BT 07 versus the SK BT I 029 .

The Archer is definitely a lot better .

So this SK BT I 029 model has been giving me some delay with some of my Bluetooth earphones and headphones .

So I don't know if I could recommend it .

Now , with the Archer Bluetooth receiver , I'm not getting any of that delay unless of course , I use a cheaper pair of Bluetooth earphones .

Now some issues , I'm going to mention that I experience with the A R as follows .

Nothing serious .

It's just some minor inconveniences .

So first of all , the volume buttons on the device only work in auxillary mode .

So the volume buttons on the device won't work if you plan on using this with the digital outputs .

Another thing I noticed when switching between S PDF and auxiliary , it took time before it could actually switch .

Now , I doubt that this will be an issue for you since you probably won't be switching between SPDIF and auxiliary .

I just happen to be switching between them because I was testing out the unit .

Otherwise everything else was pretty much fine and this Bluetooth receiver worked relatively well .

So one more thing I wanted to mention about Bluetooth receivers in general is that whichever Bluetooth receiver you do plan on using , you are limited to the dack within the TV .

So dack stands for digital to audio converter .

And if that's garbage within your TV , then the sound will be pretty much garbage .

So in my case , a good indicator of this was the sound quality coming out of the speakers of the TV .

So the sound quality coming out of my TV was very trebly , very tin can sounding .

So when I hooked it up to my Bluetooth receiver , I pretty much got the same type of sound quality .

Now , this is not always necessarily true because sometimes you could have a good dack and crappy speakers on a TV .

And then sometimes you can have just the opposite , but let's not get into that in this video .

I'll probably save that for another video .

Anyway , that's gonna be it .
