How Do I Connect Bluetooth Headphones to My TCL TV?

Introduction

If you're looking for a better way to listen to your TV than traditional wired headphones, then you should consider using Bluetooth headphones. By connecting your smartphone or tablet to your TCL Roku TV, you can easily stream audio from any app that has a Bluetooth connection and listen through your headphones. TCL TV has been able to create products that use Bluetooth wireless technology. This technology enables Bluetooth headphones and other devices to connect to TCL TVs. TCL models, such as the Roku TV model, only support Bluetooth technology for wireless speakers and smart soundbars.

So you just got a TCL TV and want to know if your Bluetooth headphones will work with it, the steps below will show you how to connect Bluetooth headphones to your TCL TV.

What you need

To connect Bluetooth headphones to your TCL TV, you'll need the following:

• Bluetooth headphones that can be paired with a TV. If you don’t have them yet, TCL is a well-known brand that offers a variety of Bluetooth headphones to choose from. We offer a range of styles to suit different preferences and needs. Our headphones are known for their high-quality sound and comfortable fit, making them a popular choice among consumers. MOVEAUDIO S108 for example, are IPX4 waterproof earbuds and support Bluetooth 5.0.
• A Roku remote control or app for your TV(if you choose not to use a Roku remote).

First of All

To connect Bluetooth headphones to your TCL TV, you will need to make sure that your TV and headphones are both Bluetooth-enabled and are in pairing mode. You will then need to use the TV's Bluetooth settings to search for and connect to your headphones.

First, check to make sure that your TCL TV has Bluetooth capabilities by looking for the Bluetooth logo on the TV or in the TV's settings menu. If your TV does not have Bluetooth, you will not be able to connect your headphones.

Next, make sure that your Bluetooth headphones are charged and in pairing mode. Refer to the user manual for your headphones to find out how to put them in pairing mode. The pairing process varies by model, but you will usually have to push a button on the back of the earpiece or hold one down for a few seconds.

When they are in pairing mode, your Roku TV will detect them when they are within range.

How to pair

• press the home button on your remote
• scroll down to Settings
• select Settings
• Scroll down and select Remote and Accessories. Press OK to confirm.
• Select Add Accessory.
• Select your device on the list.
• pairing mode must be turned on
• select Pair Bluetooth devices
• if a code is required, enter it now, and select Done
• select OK to finish pairing

You need to make sure your TV is up to date.

If your TV is not up to date, you may notice that it does not have Bluetooth capabilities.

To connect your Bluetooth headphones to your TV, you must make sure that the latest software is installed on the device. If this isn't done, then there won't be any way for you even if you have a new set of headphones and want them to work with what currently exists on this particular model. If this isn't done correctly, then it might give off messages like "This function is not supported" or "Your device is not compatible."

What to Do If the Bluetooth Headphones Are Not Connected to TCL TV?

A common problem faced by the users is that they have connected the Bluetooth headphones to their TCL TV though it does not get connected. It might seem like a simple task but in reality, it can be really difficult to set up the Bluetooth headphones on your TV if you are not knowledgeable about the settings.

There are several reasons why Bluetooth headphones might not work properly with your TCL TV. 

For example, if you have used a third-party app to connect the device to your TV instead of using the default one provided by TCL, then it is likely that this will result in problems with your device. 

Another reason could be that you have not updated the firmware of your TCL TV. If this is the case, then you will need to update it as soon as possible because updates are an essential part of any device that needs to function properly. 

• If you have updated your TV’s firmware and still cannot connect the headphones, then it might be because of the version that you are running. You will need to check whether this is compatible with your Bluetooth device before trying again. If it is not, then you should try a different version or update your device if necessary. 

• If you're aiming to perfect the Bluetooth pairing between your headphones and your TCL TV, executing the right steps can make all the difference. Let's dive into a set of advanced yet straightforward steps designed to refine your setup and user experience.

Bluetooth Signal Enhancement:To minimize interference, position your TCL Roku TV and Bluetooth headphones closer together during the pairing process. Reduce the number of active Bluetooth devices in the vicinity to strengthen the signal.

Exclusive Pairing:Disconnect your Bluetooth headphones from other devices they might be paired with. This ensures that your TCL TV has exclusive access to the headphones, preventing any connection conflicts.

Reboot & Refresh:If initial pairing attempts fail, power cycle both your TCL TV and Bluetooth headphones. Turn them off completely, wait for a minute, and then turn them back on before attempting to re-pair them.

Clear Previous Pairings:In your TV's Bluetooth settings, clear any previous headphone pairings that might be stored. This creates a fresh slate, allowing your TCL Roku TV to discover and connect to your headphones more efficiently.

Audio Output Settings:Double-check the audio output settings on your TV to ensure that Bluetooth is selected as the preferred output. This adjustment can often be found under the 'Sound' settings on your TCL TV.

Check for Wireless Interference:Evaluate your environment for devices that could cause wireless interference – such as microwaves, Wi-Fi routers, or cordless phones. Positioning these away from your Bluetooth headphones and TV can improve the quality of the connection.

• If none of these solutions work for you and your TCL TV still does not connect to Bluetooth headphones, then there might be something wrong with your device. You should contact customer service or the manufacturer to get this fixed as soon as possible.
