To output sound from both the headphones and a Soundbar: Connect your headphones to the TV headphone jack and your Soundbar to the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT port. Note: If you connect the Soundbar to the HDMI ports or through Bluetooth, the TV can't output sound from both the headphones and the Soundbar at the same time.
Noise-Canceling: NoIf you're looking for headphones strictly for watching movies or TV shows on your home theatre system, the Sennheiser RS 185 are the easiest to use. They come with an RF base transmitter that doubles as a stand and battery charging station.
On the back of the headphone transmitter, connect the other end of the audio cable to the AUDIO IN jack. Connect the AC adapter into the transmitter's DC IN 9V jack and then plug it into a wall outlet. Adjust the TV volume to the desired level. Turn on the wireless headphones and adjust the volume to the desired level.
Can I use wired and wireless headphones in the same time?
- Open Sound panel.
- Select Speakers as the default playback device.
- Go to the "Recording" tab.
- Right click and enable "Show Disabled Devices"
- A recording device called "Wave Out Mix", "Mono Mix" or "Stereo Mix" (this was my case) should appear.
- Right click on the new device and click "Enable"
Put both pairs of Bluetooth headphones into pairing mode (this varies by model—check your user manual or do a quick internet search if you don't know how to do this). Tap the names of each unpaired device to connect both headphones.
Simultaneously playback to both wired headphones and AirPodsTo do this, you need a 3.5mm Y-splitter adapter and a 3.5mm Bluetooth receiver. Sync your AirPods to the receiver (make sure they're unpaired from your iOS device first), and you'll be able to play music on both at the same time.
In earlier Android versions, tap the menu icon (3 vertical dots) in the upper-right corner. Turn on the Dual Audio toggle switch. To use Dual Audio, pair the phone with two speakers, two headphones, or one of each, and audio will stream to both. If you add a third, the first paired device will be booted off.
The easiest way to use two headphones on your PC or Mac is to use a headphone splitter. This lets you plug two or more headphones into your computer via the mini-stereo or USB port and split the sound equally between both devices. If you're buying a headphone splitter, make sure your device supports dual-headphone use.
