You can probably add a bluetooth adapter to most TVs. It may need to be a transmitter kind. I haven't done my research in a while, but at least this wouldn't limit your options on a TV. The back of these TVs should have inputs needed to both power it via USB connection and some sort of Aux out option. I'm not sure how you would go about switching between TV speakers and bluetooth, but you could probably figure it out.

I like how my Roku TV remote allows me to plug in headphones and listen to the TV audio anytime I want.

Something like this LINK

or

You could always try this first on an existing TV and see if you like it or return it.

why are multiple people down voting a tech board response? i expect that elsewhere, but not really around here.

just trying to provide an alternative option. if it's not viable by all means explain that. only trying to help around here.

I bought one, but it is certainly not ideal. If I plug it in, the TV cuts the sound to the built-in speakers. I would prefer them to stay on (assuming the latency of the transmitter isn't too bad).

I can probably work around it by hooking up an amplifier for sound and then use one of the outputs from the amp to go to the bluetooth transmitter. Then I can keep the sound on in the living room from the speakers connected to the amp.

The goal is for me to be able to walk into the kitchen and back and still hear the TV sound.

To mdomingue and Zappa, my TV is a TCL ROKU TV and it does not support bluetooth headphones.

Thanks for all the responses.
