Having become a bit mut and Jeff (deaf), I would like try to collect
audio from my Smart (8 year old) TV. The manual doesn't mention
bluetooth but:
1. It has three USB sockets.
2. It has a set of RCA sockets on the back (two for audio)
3. It has four HDMI sockets, one connected to an HTPC.
4. It has an optical/audio socket connected to a sound bar.
5. It has a LAN socket
6. It has a Satellite antennae socket (unused)
7. It has a regular coax socket.
Are there any bluetooth adapters that could be deployed to transmit to
a pair of headphones?
TIA

I’m surprised there’s no headphone output on your TV, otherwise I would have suggested a long extension lead from that to your headphones, which
will avoid a number of problems including supplying power to, and any
latency issues that might arise from the use of, Bluetooth-connected
devices.

find them on sets up to about 27" but very little on larger units.
OTOH I’m currently enjoying the BBC’s SAS Rough Heroes Season 2, via Bluetoothed headphones due to the loud banging noises, and I can’t say I’ve
noticed any lack of sync.

I bought these in 2017, to link the caravan TV to some decent quality speakers.
This worked very well.
The TOSlink connection might be better than other methods; I think it may remove latency problems.
Then again, it has been a while.
In terms of quality, I’d expect the headphones to be at the lower end - certainly below the branded speaker and way below the MH stereo.

I use something like this:

Not the exact one but similar.
I plug it into one of the USB sockets for power and take the audio from the >> 3.5 mm jack my tv has. If you don’t have the latter, you could use a phono >> to 3.5 to lead ( two phones to one stereo 3.5).
I use it was a pair of stereo headphones off Amazon.
I am going to chance my arm on this one.
Thank you and everyone else who offered advice.

All four of my TVs have headphone sockets! But the newest is seven years
old.

The headphones are linked via the TV’s BT rather than via an external dongle.

It seems odd. I cant see any reason to buffer Bluetooth
Headphones can be very high quality and the headphone output on the TV should be pretty much as good ass it gets

I use an optical connection from computer to Smart TV.
The only optical socket on my TV goes to the sound bar.
