This is a great question. If your TV is Bluetooth-enabled or your set has a headphone audio jack, you can connect wireless headphones to your TV. Whether or not you can play sound through your TV’s speakers at the same time as your headset depends on your TV. Most TVs can do one or the other, but rarely both. Learn how to get audio from your TV to your headset without missing any lines from your favorite shows or movies.
How to enjoy sound on TV and headphones at the same time
Whether you can hear sound from both your headphones and your TV’s speakers depends on the type of TV and headphones you have and the features they offer in your settings.

Use wireless headphones to connect to a TV with Bluetooth audio output
If Martha is talking about wireless headphones above, you’ll need a TV that supports Bluetooth audio output. I tried it out on a run-of-the-mill LG LED TV and it worked within 2 minutes on the first try. Bluetooth headphones paired with your TV will wirelessly transmit audio to your headset.

Use special TV headphones
Another option is to use dedicated TV headphones that use a base station that connects to your TV’s audio output. These headphones can wirelessly transmit TV audio to a person’s ears while also playing audio from the TV’s speakers for other people in the room. These are fine, but your best bet is to invest in a good noise-cancelling headset with long battery life.
