How to connect Bluetooth headphones to my Samsung Smart TV
Samsung Smart TVs feature vivid large screens and rich sounds, but sometimes not everyone in the room wants to enjoy the same thing you do. With the Bluetooth headphones/earphones, you can enjoy TV shows, movies, and games without interrupting anyone else in the room. Make sure your TV supports the Bluetooth function. If it does not, follow the guide below for other options.
Check the following before connecting to a TV
Check 1. Bluetooth headphones made exclusively for mobile devices cannot be connected to your Samsung Smart TV.
Check 2. Bluetooth devices can be blocked by walls, corners, or furniture, which can lead to poor compatibility.
Check 3. Only one Bluetooth device at a time can be paired to TV.
Note: Samsung Smart TVs manufactured from 2022 can connect to two Bluetooth devices. Click the link to learn more.
Check 4. The connection between the Bluetooth device and your TV may be disrupted if the distance between the device and TV is too great.
