how many pairs of blue tooth head phones can you use on a blue tooth tv gordon ps same make
-
As the set comes I think you can only use one set of Bluetooth headphones at the same time, however there does seem to be a device that will allow 2 to be used but at extra cost of course.

Have you got the one pair working perfectly
-
yes

I don't know about TVs, but i have four different bluetooth devices on my PC

Good Gordon Personally I would ring August tell them what you need it for they are good to deal with
-
what a world we live in all i want to do is connect headphones to my lg tv years ago you just pushed it in a scocket and it worked gordon progress what a joke
-
I quite agree Gordon, technology today is driven by 30 year olds who have no understanding whatsoever of the needs of the older generations who don't have their technical knowledege and may be handicapped phisically in various ways.
The only consolation is that life might catch up with them rather more quickly than they expect.

Unfortunately if there was no progress then where would we be, no internet , No model boat Mayhem Forum !!
I can understand that some may feel progress is a pain but there is normally away around it, if your TV has a Scart socket or HDML sockets then there are adaptors you can get quite cheaply to adapt them to headphones etc, as I posted above you can buy an adaptor which looks like it can enable two sets of Blue tooth speakers
We have recently purchased a smart TV , it has Blue tooth, HDML, USB , Scart and phono sockets so I do not understand unless I am missing something that when you selected your new TV then why did you not specify it needed to do certain things.
What is the make and model Number of the TV ?. :-))
-
At Gordon's age he just wants a new TV without all the technological complications and I have every sympathy with him.
Colin

Looks like your TV has Bluetooth V5.0
According to the internet ...
Does Bluetooth 5 support multiple devices?
Perhaps the biggest improvement that Bluetooth 5.0 will make on your life is that it will enable two devices to be paired to another device at the same time. For instance, two people with different wireless headphones can pair to the same device.
To enable bluetooth on your LG TV go to Settings > Sound > Sound Out > Bluetooth and then select your device. Just make sure the device you're trying to connect is in pairing mode.

From what I can see the the TV does have Phono Sockets so a wired headphone is possible, or is it that you just want it as BlueTooth. ?.
-
Bluetooth V5 the way to go.... However does the back of the TV look similar to this...

I appear to have a TV that talks to my computer ? I was desperately trying to get a verification code for a purchase on my PC . The site said they had sent it but I could not find it , the wife watching one of the soaps on the tele' in the lounge shouts : WHATS THIS NONSENSE ON MY SCEEN ? Yes , the verification code had overwritten the programme on the television screen in the other room. Bloody rubbish technology.

fifty pounds for an adapter trying to save for my oil bill or a coffin gordon ps not very tech minded now

Gordon I checked with the shop and they say yes it has to be connected to a socket/s on the TV if you must use Bluetooth. Without knowing what Audio Out sockets you have difficult any chance of a pic of the Back or the manual and consider going wired. Oh does it have Usb socket?

If the shop have said that he needs to use a socket for 1 Bluetooth headphone set then I suggest they are mistaken.
Unless I have misunderstood your post !.

You have to connect the TX you gave the link for to the TV that then pairs with the headsets
-
When I use my BT headphones I simply turn them on, and then for tv out put simply select BT on the TV settings, tv searches for the head phones and connects. :-))
But will only connect to 1 BT device at a time so assume not version 5.
-
you are ok with one set even with V5 but you need a Tx adaptor connected then that can transmit to 2 sets of phones. Whether that would still mute the tv speakers I know not.
-
Whether that would still mute the tv speakers I know not.
It depends on the TV. Sometimes using the headphone socket cuts out the speakers, sometimes not. I have a Bluetooth adapater which connects to the TV phono sockets.

THIS S MY USLESS TV NO 43UM7400PLB
-
I bought a Sony Bravia less than a year ago. Size was a problem! I wanted a 55 inch screen my better half said, too big! So we had a 49 inch screen. This however limits the ''extras'. For instance no Bluetooth and the audio o/p switches off the speakers. It is all in place in the s/w of the TV but when checking the menu the 'choice' of sound settings is not allowed. These settings are all allowed in the 55 inch and above version.
We have a Virgin STB and on the back is an audio o/p. I feed this to a separate WiFi transmitter and have headphones which work all over the house. Not the perfect solution as it is only for the STB o/p. However left tuned as last channel to BBC 24 hour News I can turn the TV off and listen to the news in bed in the morning.
By the way I have hearing aids and my radio / alarm is too loud for others in the household. My own hearing cuts off at about 4Kilo Hertz and until I had good hearing aids curtesy NHS I could not hear bird song.
I did try all sorts of options and a second purchase of a new 43 inch LG TV 6 months ago had all the choices removed but it was such a bargain I thought it worth it. I was going to use an audio amplifer to improve the sound quality but it was good enough already.
I found that boosting the speech level made a big difference to sound quality for me and the set is in a different part of the house so I am OK with it.
I did have many years ago a WiFi transmitter that worked directly from the sound speakers and transmitted a signal to a set of headphones but they failed many years ago and no one wanted to repair them.
It is a hard world out there!

THIS S MY USLESS TV NO 43UM7400PLB
Was there supposed to be some info there?
-
Hi Regiment I see we both have the same TV. Mine is a UP not UM but I failed to see a technical difference otherwise. It is a nice TV and works well for me and you can shout at it to find you programmes!
The audio socket in use does turn off the sound. But do you want sound and headphones or 2 sets of headphones?
I have not tried August but nearly bought a PVR from them..
Try Avantree this is the company that suppied my WiFi transmitter. Just google Avantree and the company comes up.
They sell a set called Duet which is set up for 2 sets of headphones which work from the TV, if that is what you want.
Roy
-
Hi Jaymac yes there was he just told us he had a LG Tv.
Roy
-
Yes Roy I Know which one he has I thought he might have posted some info i asked for . So you have virtually the same TV are you running 2 sets of phones of it if so how did you connect the TX
-
Hi Jaymac, I do not use headphones on this one. I went on the Avantree web site and found the product I mentioned called Duet. They also do a 4 head set variation as well.
I have been pleased with my Avantree headset it has rechargeable batteries lasts quite a long while and is the comfy over ear type.
But my poor hearing would not be able to tell you if they were of good sound quality. But when I wear them I can hear all speach clearly, as often I lose the first letter of a syllable which is confusing. Also sibilants are clearer as well. A year ago my hearing aids were upgraded and this has helped me enormously.
I use the Avantree transmitter in the same room as the WiFi Hub for Broadband transmission they do not seem to interfere with each other.
I've got tinnitus as well but there you go you can't be perfect!
Roy

hi jaymac not a clue how to take or send photos my old lg in the bedroom had a socket worked like a dream for head phones thomsons two pairs wireless all this tech stuff is over my head gordon
-
JUST SETS OF HEAD PHONES THAT WORK ON THEIR OWN tv sound off gordon
-
To be fair I have always found LG TV s to be 1st Class, same with their monitors.
I have looked at the model you stated and as far as I can see this will take Standard head phones but you need to take a picture of the back of Your tv, every tv I have will do Blue tooth and wired head phones, 2 of them are LG, one is Jvc. You should be fine......
If the back looks like this or similar it should be fine.
-
Why do you need an additional external BT adaptor when this LG TV has an inbuilt/embedded factory fitted at time of manufacture Bluetooth V5.0 unit for free that should support 2 sets of headphones out of the box for $0.....
Or did I miss something?

The original question was could 2 sets of bluetooth speakers be connected independently,BT 5 seems to say you can however regiment has also stated that wired would be preferred. The rest is above.
-
Gordon if it is possible with your set it Call up settings > Bluetooth >advanced bluetooth options > Dual Audio or similar

Hi Longbuild. The TV in question does not have the o/ps you picture.
I have just looked at mine and I cannot find an audio 3.5 mm o/p socket. I think you either configure the Bluetooth or use an HDMI o/p connector that converts to 3.5mm jack/socket. believe they are around. There is an optical o/p I think.
I connect my TV direct with an ethernet connector straight into my WiFi booster for the Internet.
43UM7400PLB try googling this number and looking at the LG website, look for user manual and tell me how you get audio out? I will also be interested to know!!!
I cannot find a picture of the o/p's in the LG manual to point at where to plug in.
Everything has to be turned on and off through a not too helpful menu. Once set up and the operating system refreshed it works very nicely.
I think I understand what Regiment's problem is now.

Roy

Yes I agree there is no 3.5 socket, and none of my sets have these.
The tv has both Hdmi ports and from what I can see on the picture and audio L/R sockets, you can get adaptors quite cheaply for both to fit a standard headphone socket.

Hi there is no L/R socket in this TV. There is a satelite i/p my new glasses reveal this is not an optical i/p. There is 1 HDMI and 1 HDMI arc i/p and a USB i/p. There is a common i/f and separately an ethernet socket.
To connect to bluetooth headphones select long press of settings button, choose sound, select sound out,and search.
Turn the headphones on and the TV will find the headphones give it a tick then the sound from the TV stops and comes through the headphones. Register them with the TV just a tick in a box. Turn the headphones off and the sound returns to the TV speakers.
Next time you turn on your headphones the TV will find them automatically and connect and turn the TV sound off.
See this Youtube video.
LG TV, how to connect Bluetooth headphones (2020 LG (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkUo1bDlM28)
Quite a learning experience for me as I was not expecting how clever the system was. I think you could register another set of headphones and the same may happen but I am not able to test that.
Regards
Roy

Roy spent ages online checking for details since Gordon's original postings no luck he has one pair already working ok.
-
Hi there is no L/R socket in this TV.
Pass but according to the downloaded manual from LG it does.
-
Hi Jaymac it is nice to know that members rally round when someone else has a problem.
My last post will work for regiment assuming he is confident to use TV menus and settings. As I said I have an almost identical TV just 6 months old and it was a learning curve for me as well. I am looking in the family for a no longer used bluetooth set of headphones to try out the system.
I have some linked to another TV via a separate bluetooth transmitter which works from the set top box (Virgin) 3.5 mm audio out and it delivers around the house on a permanent basis. I do not want to mix them up!
I have to use this system as otherwise my wife cannot listen to the sound if I plug into the audio o/p socket for headphones. Our previous Panasonic set did not switch off the speakers in the TV when using the audio socket.
The real problem is we are used to the old ways and no one bothers to tell you that you can still do what you want but it is a bit different now.
I buy my TVs from Richer Sounds, just round the corner from me and the service is excellent and they answered all my difficult questions without reference to manuals etc.
When I bought a CD player from Currys I needed one that played MP3 discs, (audiobooks) the salesman just did not know!
We got a set out that I actually wanted plugged it in and I produced an MP3 disc and it played OK. The salesman was surprised, you wonder what they teach them! I bought it (a Sony) and it is very good and unexpectedly it has an audio in socket, So I can have a Zoom meeting and feed the laptop audio out into my CD player for excellent sound.
However my last Zoom meeting when I joined the s/w turned off my audio o/p socket!!! Why??? After the meeting I set up a meeting and found the settings and turned the sound o/p back on just hope it stays that way.
So you can see I am not yet a bluetooth convert!
regards
Roy

for sale two pairs of blue tooth head phones NEVER been used only sworn at 40 POUNDS PLUS 5 POUNDS POST GORDON
-
Not surprised the Curry person didn't know. When you look at the plethora of electronics on the home entertainment sections, even a degree in advanced electronics would be found wanting. Remember how the only way to successfully record on a VCR was to give the remote to a seven year old?
Regards Ian.
-
Hi Ian I would not have commented on the Curry's person but he introduced himself as specialising in the radio / recorder section where I was looking. I had to advise in some similar fashion when at work but always asked what was wanted first, to find if it was in my own skill set.
I always check all prices in the retailers and then if possible use the information to my best advantage. Previously I bought a printer for just about half price as my argument was backed up by a hasty search on the Internet.
If looking for a new TV now there are some excellent bargains to be had. I find saving £50 or even £100 on a product a good mornings work.
Cheers for now, I have to add ,the way this thread has ended sent me off laughing to a good night's sleep! %% %%

Hi Roy yes it is great the attempts to help I'm in my 80's still reasonably ok on the audio side. Went through the trudging round Hi Fi shops in the 70 /80's with my LP under me arm seen the vast changes in connections come and go.Always in at the start had video tape recorder before VHS through to dvd recorder not a wireless fan Either house is like Jodrell Bank. I would agree on Richer sounds are you a VIP you get some discounts on that
-
Used to help with repair and installation of B&O electronic equipment and the normal customer nightmare was having to pre program(me) the settings via the all singing and dancing remote control. To alleviate the terror, next to last comment to them was, ' read the manual cos we will be ringing in a couple of days to ask questions on it' and the final and best one was ' If you get into a muggers buddle, switch the set off, unplug it, count to twenty and replug in and switch on. It will have re set to manufacturers original settings. If you call us out to do this it will cost £70' Don't know what the charge would be now, I'm going back 20 years.

Hi jaymac and who ever can advise, nor a million miles from this thread.
I have a bluetooth transmitter direct into my set top box and a matching set of headphones connected to a Sony Bravia TV. I can hear the STB via headphones anywhere in the house.
Can I also pair this same set of headphones to the bluetooth from the LG TV? This is in the 'backroom'.
I did not want to experiment for my self as resetting the bluetooth Tx is a hands and knees job! Otherwise I shall get a second set of headphones. Either way the thread has been most illuminating into options I would not even be looking for, let alone expecting them to exist! So thanks to all.
regards
Roy
-
Hi Roy not sure what you have An STB = set top box as in a freeview box ? feeding the tv or something else
Phone on 2 tv's ? Devices smart phones can have to look that up myself.
-
Hi Jaymac I have a Virgin set top box with the Sony TV set connected.
In another room I have the LG TV. This has an ethernet connection straight into a booster WiFi box due to WiFi not getting to this room with enough bits per second. I get 70+Mbits close to the Virgin STB and 30Mbits from the booster
With the Sony set turned off the STB remains on(my choice) and my Tx for the headphones is connected direct to the STB and remains on as well.
This was the only way I could listen on headphones while my wife watches and listens to the Sony TV speakers at a low level. She has excellent hearing. If I connected my headphones into the Sony audio socket it turns the TV speakers off.
My Sony TV has the bluetooth de-activated as it is the smaller 49 inch model, but even then it would re-direct the sound o/p to the headphones.
My headphones as soon as I turn them on are connected to the live feed from the Virgin STB. I do not see how I can pair them with my LG 43 inch TV as they would be fighting each other.
If I obtain a second bluetooth headphone set I expect I can pair them with the LG TV sound o/p. There would now be 2 lots of bluetooth transmissions on at the same time. I wondered if it would all work?
I hope that explains my end of it?
regards
Roy
-
Virgin ironically unknown territory to me Roy. So your Sony is fed from the STB and that is all ok
Is the LG also fed from the STB if so can you watch a different channel to the Sony or not
I know Sky Q do mini's for multi sets presume Virgin do to.As said a bit of a Dummy on this but if I can grasp enough of your setup I know where to ask

Hi Jaymac my LG TV is totally separate and not connected to Virgin accept direct on to the Internet through the ethernet cable.
There ae no issues with Virgin at all.
Roy
-
Hi Roy so its getting channels from ? No quite understand the ethernet bit other than Streaming .
-
Hi jaymac, the ethernet cable takes the place of a WiFi connection, it is an option giving a hard wired Internet connection. My WiFi booster had an ethernet socket and so I used it.
It is a smart TV so I can access the Internet and I get my TV from Freeserve. It is an excellent TV, 43 inch and about £350 with a 6 year warranty.
I can use Alexa and just ask for the TV programme or a You tube video as I feel like it. Or I have the 'magic' remote control for electing channels as normal.

What bluetooth Tx have you connected Roy
-
Hi the Avantree HT5009
Roy
-
OK Roy Is my rough interpretation of your query near enough yours or way off beam
One Sony tv on Virgin with Bluetooth tx connected to setbox 3.5 socket this allows the blue tooth phones to work without killing the volume on the Sony tv' can I use another set of bluetooth phones on the LG tv that is not on virgin in the other room without the two blue tooth signals clashing
-
Hi Jaymac that is about it! The set top box is not turned off and as it powers the Bluetooth Tx that stays on all the time.
I know it can be pointed out as not economical but when my wife uses the TV (Sony) she watches through the Virgin box and has no idea how to bring it up on line if I turn the box off before going to bed.

Roy

OK Roy Posted see what comes up. So you got the Package Oasis TX and headphones see you rich people :}2

can I use another set of bluetooth phones on the LG tv that is not on virgin in the other room without the two blue tooth signals clashing
Bluetooth has 37 data + 3 admin channels 2 Mhz apart (2402-2480Mhz) so like WiFi, Bluetooth is not one but many.
Most kit will seek a clear Bluetooth frequency automatically to prevent interference (not unlike frequency hopping / listen before transmit RC kit)
Radio Control RC 2.4 Ghz 2400Mhz - 2485Mhz - all but the same frequency range as Bluetooth ....

Hi Roy only response I got was/ Yes, as long as your LG TV has Bluetooth audio out. can you borrow another pair of phones to test that out
-
Hi Jaymac thanks for your efforts. Yes the LG TV has bluetooth, it is less than 6 months old. I have asked around in the family for a set of headphones. My hearing is dodgy, so much of the sound performance is lost on me, so I am more concerned with the comfort when wearing them.
My hearing aids cope with making me aware of the higher frequencies and I want to wear the headphones over the aids. The Avantree ones I have are quite good for this but relatively dear. I will let you know what I do.
Thanks again
Roy
-
Hi Roy That's a bitch with the hearing mind you the dialogue on some programmes is bad at source. Of course they blame the tv speakers I don't use the tv speakers at all in the evening and my sound system struggles at time . Hope you get it working ok
-
Recent operations submitted via the B******t broadcasting company sums up the deterioration of quality sound transmissions we have to tolerate even with the advent of enhanced (Sound bars) reproduction equipment. Wonder when we're going to be "reintroduced" 7 X 4 ellipticals?
Regards Ian.
-
Hi jaymac to be honest I have been well served by the NHS with hearing aids. I have some plastic cone ones that just poke inside the ear and I can forget they are there.
I can switch sound off from the rear just a click and the 2 are connected by WiFi and the other does the same.
However in a restaurant if there is not too much ambient sound I can listen in to the conversation behind me on another table. I swear sometimes I have better hearing than I was used to.
We had specialist monitoring equipment when I was in the RAF and I found I could then hear just above 20Kc/s (no hetrz then) which is the limit of human hearing.
Always a bright side!

Roy

Hi Gordon I used an Avantree transmitter which has an audio jack to pick up the sound signal. They do a transmitter and 2 sets of headphones as a kit. I can't help on the sound bar.
