Yes, you can connect multiple pairs of headphones to one TV at the same time, but it depends on the TV and how you connect them.

With built-in TV Bluetooth (limited to 2 pairs)

Some modern smart TVs can stream audio to two Bluetooth headphones simultaneously:

• Samsung TVs (2022 and later)

  • Use Multi Connect / Dual Audio in the Bluetooth Speaker List.

  • Pair the first headphone normally, then pair the second and choose Multi Connect instead of replacing the first.samsung+1

• LG OLED TVs (2021 and newer)

  • Support pairing 1–2 Bluetooth headphones at once and playing audio through both.youtube

  • You can also keep TV speakers on while headphones are connected.

• Other brands (Sony, TCL, Hisense, etc.)

  • Many do not support dual Bluetooth headphone output. They may allow multiple devices to be paired, but only one outputs audio at a time.samsung

If your TV doesn’t mention “Dual Audio,” “Multi Connect,” or similar, it likely won’t play to two Bluetooth headphones at once.

With a Bluetooth transmitter (2 pairs, and more)

If your TV lacks dual Bluetooth support, you can use a Bluetooth transmitter:

• Standard dual-link Bluetooth transmitters

  • Devices like Avantree Orbit, Oasis Plus, Audikast Plus support up to 2 Bluetooth headphones at the same time.avantree+1

  • Connect the transmitter to the TV’s 3.5mm, RCA, or optical audio output, then pair two headphones to it.

• More than two headphones

  • You can chain multiple transmitters that support passthrough/bypass to expand the number of connections (e.g., two transmitters = 4 headphones, three = 6, etc.).avantree

  • For large groups (e.g., classrooms, events), there are 2.4GHz RF wireless systems that can support up to 100+ headphones on a single transmitter dock.avantree+1

Practical considerations

• Lip-sync delay: Built-in TV Bluetooth can sometimes cause audio lag. For best results, use aptX Low Latency headphones and a dedicated low-latency transmitter.avantree+1

• Volume control: Each headphone pair may have its own volume; you can’t centrally adjust all volumes from the TV.

• Compatibility: Not all Bluetooth headphones work with all transmitters; check for aptX/aptX LL support if sync is critical.

In summary:

• Yes, you can connect multiple pairs to one TV.

• Some TVs support 2 Bluetooth headphones directly.

• With a Bluetooth transmitter, you can reliably support 2 pairs, and by chaining devices or using RF systems, you can scale to many more.
