Connecting a pair of headphones to your Chromecast can be incredibly useful for a number of reasons. Firstly, it can help you hear your TV better, particularly if you struggle with hearing loss. Secondly, it allows you to turn up the volume without disturbing others in your household. Finally, it means that you can walk around your house without missing anything. But how do you connect Bluetooth headphones to Chromecast? In this post, we’ll teach you all the different ways of doing it.
Before we begin, please note that the following methods only work with the newest Chromecast with Google TV model. Firstly, if your TV has built-in Bluetooth, you’ll be able to find it in the settings menu. Get your headphones into pairing mode, select it when it shows up on your TV’s Bluetooth menu, and you’re good to go.
If your TV does not come with Bluetooth or if you’d like to connect two headphones to your TV at the same time, you’ll need something like wireless headphones that come with a transmitter. These are compatible with any TV that has an audio output port (digital optical, aux or RCA) and they usually let you connect a second pair of Bluetooth headphones. Some even work alongside your soundbar or stereo AV receiver. All you have to do is connect the transmitter to your TV’s audio output port, power the headphone and the transmitter on, and play away. It’s that easy.
Next, get your headphones into Bluetooth pairing mode. Then, go to your Google TV home screen, go into the settings menu, scroll to remote and accessories, go into pair remote or accessory search, and select your headphone to connect. And you’re good to go.
