How to connect 2 headphones to a TV/amp?

Hatari · 11th July 2019, 11:13

Need a little tech help.

With my daughter sleeping in the room, and being unable to run the home theatre, my wife and I have been using 2 Infrared Philips headphones at night while watching TV. Though sound quality is average, a lag free experience made do.

Now the headsets are giving trouble and replacements are not available.

How does one get a lag free (lots of bluetooth headsets are reported to be laggy when split etc) experience while connecting 2 headphones simultaneously?

I recall making the Bose Soundsport free and QC35 work without any issues with same sound source .The feature is called Music Share .

Ok.
Can you please share details or hardware/software involved.

Bose does it out of the box with no additional hardware or software .

Are you looking only for a wireless option? Or is wired okay as well?

Do you have your own bluetooth headphones already?

I don't know about lag-free when connecting TWO headphones.

But APT-X LL (low latency) are designed for these uses.

I bought this recently (for a different use - as a reciever) but it might work for you :

See if it supports 2 SIMULTANEOUS output devices.

See if there's any other similar products that do.

Ensure your BT headphones support APTX LL for best low-latency results.

I had a similar issue about a year back.

The solution I found:

BT Transmitter / Receiver

I bought a similar device for 1500 and even I was worried about the lag but no such problems.

The distance to the TV is more than 9ft so wireless only practical solution. I have a 1 to 1 BT adaptor and a headset, it doesnt support 2 to 1.

Shall explore the one mentioned, thanks
