Alternatively, you can read consumer reviews, or consult with good experts. As a result, it is worth choosing what, in turn, will meet all the parameters necessary for the user.

Let's highlight several main aspects that you need to pay attention to before purchasing an adapter.

1. In no case should you give preference to the most budget devices.... A cheap transmitter significantly reduces the quality of the sound output to the headphones. There is extraneous noise during playback. Another disadvantage of cheap models is a strong delay in sound broadcasting. For film enthusiasts, this will be a very big disappointment, since watching an exciting film can spoil the sound lag from the picture. The price of this device is directly related not only to the quality of the reproduced sound, but also to the transmitter itself as a whole.
2. When choosing a Bluetooth adapter for your TV, you should pay attention the ability to connect several pairs of headphones to the device. However, it should be noted that it is almost impossible to find a conductor with the ability to connect 3 or more headsets.
3. When buying an adapter the latest and more advanced versions of Bluetooth should be preferred.
4. Bluetooth adapters with NFC support are used for a more simplified way of connecting gadgets with similar support.
5. If there is a need for a wider range of the adapter, then you should opt for on transmitters that have external antennas... Their features include an increase in the range of up to 30 meters.
6. Bluetooth receiver equipped with a built-in battery, will be useful in such situations where you need the ability to autonomous work.

In order to check the TV for the presence of a built-in Bluetooth module, in most cases you need to use the TV menu settings. To do this, you need to activate the function on the headset, after which, using the remote control, you should go to the option menu. Select the "Wired / Wireless Networks" section. If there is none, then you should select "Sound Effects" or "Sound Settings". Then, in the Sound Systems section, the TV will find the headset automatically. If this does not happen, then we launch the automatic "Search for a headset". If this function is not provided, then the TV is not equipped with a built-in adapter.

After selecting the desired Bluetooth transmitter, you need to connect it to the TV. This is not difficult at all if you follow the standard instructions correctly.

1. If, when buying a transmitter, the choice has settled on a model, having an embedded battery, we charge it completely.
2. A smartphone that is already equipped with a cable must be connect to a specific socket on the TV.
3. If the cord is supplied as a separate item, you need to choose a more suitable method by which the transmitter will be connected to the TV. On the TV panel with connectors, select the required one, into which we insert the cable.
4. Followed by turn on the headset or acoustics.
5. If the devices are successfully paired, a blue indicator on the case will light up. After that, the entire sound range of the TV receiver is reproduced on speakers or headphones.

Some TVs require you to manually turn on the Bluetooth function. To do this, go to the options menu in the "Sound" section.

Do not forget that when setting the volume individually, do not be too far from the TV - the probability of interference and the volume of the sound will depend on this. You can install it at the required level. The keyboard is used if necessary.

Using a seemingly mundane type of wireless connection like Bluetooth may actually be tricky. But with a detailed study of the operation manual, as well as making the connection in strict accordance with the recommendations of specialists, this procedure will be carried out quickly and without much effort.

Drawing conclusions, it is safe to say that for the most appropriate choice of adapter model, it is necessary to build on the goals that are achieved during use. The Bluetooth transmitter is a very interesting and useful device to use. You can think of many ways to use the module. However, one of the main ones is still pairing wireless headphones with a TV receiver. Especially since the manufacturers of modern TVs, which are undoubtedly equipped with an embedded Bluetooth module, for some reason restrict the connection of headphones to a TV.

Regardless of the cost of the equipment, everything will be connected and will work in the absence of any functional defects. However, buying the cheapest adapters is completely inappropriate for these devices.
