Otherwise, one of the problems you can run into with other Bluetooth Transmitters is that you’ll see someone speaking or moving their mouth on TV but the audio will be off by 1/2 second or more. The aptX is important so that you have what’s called “low latency.” And this means the delay between the signal is so slight (like 40 milliseconds) that you shouldn’t notice any audio delay. It’s Bluetooth 4.2, it has aptX and you can pair two devices (such as headphones) at once. The TaoTronics Bluetooth 4.2 Transmitter currently offers the best combination of value and all the right features. So what do you use something like this for then? Well, this works great when you want to convert something like your car audio system so that it can accept or “receive” a Bluetooth connection or signal from your phone.īelow are my two favorite options to choose from depending on your budget and situation. So it would be unable to “send” any audio information from your TV to something like your headphones or soundbar. So just to clarify, the purpose we’re after is for this Bluetooth device to connect to your TV and then “transmit” or send the audio information to something like your Bluetooth headphones, Bluetooth capable soundbar or Bluetooth capable speaker system.īE CAREFUL TO AVOID ANYTHING THAT IS A “RECEIVER ONLY”Īs an example, the TaoTronics Bluetooth Receiver is something you would NOT want to get because it is just acting as a receiver. This means that the device only works to “receive” a signal and not “transmit” or send one. What can be confusing if you start searching on Amazon or elsewhere for a Bluetooth transmitter is that some of the results you will find may just be Bluetooth receiver only. STEP 2 – GET THE CORRECT BLUETOOTH TRANSMITTER If it doesn’t, you’ll then need to look at getting something like a “ Digital to Analogue Audio Converter” which converts the optical audio connection into a 3.5mm connection.īut the audio quality of the headphone jack is still excellent so don’t hesitate to use that if it’s not being used. Otherwise if you’re using something like an optical audio output, you’ll need to make sure the Bluetooth transmitter you choose has that type of input. But again, it’s easiest if you use a 3.5mm output (standard size output jack, like what you’d plug a standard headphone cable into). If you want the best audio quality possible, you can choose the optical audio output if that’s not being used. And if that’s the case I would use the headphone jack first if that’s available.įor example, on the back of the TCL 4K TV, you’ll notice (see photo on right) that it has both an “Audio Out” with a little headphone icon (so you can plug your headphones directly into your TV) and an “Optical” audio out which is located at the bottom. Now you may have more than one option available to you. Here’s a list of the different types of outputs you could use depending on your TV: And the TCL 4K TV is a good example of one that has more than one output you can use. The good news is there are several type of outputs that will work. The first step is to determine what type of outputs you have available to work with that you could connect a Bluetooth transmitter to. In this particular article, we’ll walk you through this process and also recommend a couple of the best Bluetooth transmitters currently available.įor this example, we’ll demonstrate how this can be done using the TCL 4K Smart LED TV for an example as it’s one of the most popular TV’s to get right now. Fortunately there is a way to add this capability to your TV by attaching a Bluetooth transmitter to it. Even on TV’s costing several hundred dollars, it’s not always included as a built-in feature. Not all TV’s come with Bluetooth functionality built in.
