    Just bought a new Smart tv that as no bluetooth, audio jack points or optical methods of connection. It does have HDMI x2 and HDMI eARC x1. It also has co-axials for antenna and satellite connectors.
    Anyone know how I can connect wi fi headphones or similar ?

    If the tv is smart can you get it to search for your headphones?

    Are you sure it's not got Bluetooth? Thought that was fairly standard in smart TVs.

    I recommend these. Attach one end to the back of the telly, other end goes over your ear.

    Bluetooth adapter into the 3.5mm jack, this might mute your speakers all the time though. So you'd be plugging it in and out every time you wanted to use the headphones. Sure it hasn't got Bluetooth? What's the make and model number?
