Do you need one?

Keep your Bluetooth headphones when watching a screen with a headphone jack. First check whether the screen already supports Bluetooth: an adapter may be unnecessary.

To be checked before selecting

  • Available audio output on the screen
  • Transmitter mode for listening, receiver mode for playback
  • Pairing with your headphones and possible audio/video delay
  • Dual-prong adapter included or bought separately

The trade-off to understand

A transmitter cannot create an internet connection or audio socket. Microphone support and low latency are not guaranteed: check your exact device combination.

Frequently asked questions

Do you need to buy a new accessory?

No, if your current equipment already meets the need. Check what you own and what is provided at your destination.
