I recently purchased the Samsung UE40h6400 TV with a Samsung blue ray dvd player. My question is this. Because I work unsociable hours, I listen to tv via headphones which are connected to my aging Denon Amp. Does anyone know of a Bluetooth device that I can put into headphone jack that will transmit to Bluetooth headphones? If so, could someone kindly recommend which device I should use and what headphones I should choose, i.e. compatible with said device.
If anyone has any suggestions, that would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks
M.

Something like this http://www.amazon.co.uk/JUSTOP-BTT00.../dp/B005NCZ16S

Thanks for your reply Chris, to be honest, I am still not sure..in my mind I was thinking of a device that would just plug straight into the amps headphone jack. that would be able to transmit a Bluetooth signal to appropriate headphones. I think the reason I'm still not sure is A, which BT version would I need to have i.e. v 2.1, 4.1 etc. and B, Would the headphones need to be the same Bluetooth version as the transmitter? Also my amp is connected to tv via optical cable, if that makes any difference..

You probably should have been more specific in the OP then. Sound to me like you should just buy some wireless headphones that come with a transmitter. That, or a longer headphone extension cable.

That is what the devices that Chris listed do. I use this one plugged into the van radio when listening to the cricket while working

I think it may. With my old Denon amp I only get headphone output from an analogue input. You may need to make an analogue audio connection between TV and amp somehow alongside the existing optical connection. Have you tried it with a normal pair of headphones / earphones plugged into the amp's headphone socket?

Does your amp use the old style large 6.5 mm jacks or more normal 3.5 mm jack. You may need to get an adapter. Eg.

Do not worry about Bluetooth versions.

Only problem with Bluetooth is a limited distance range. With RF based system as Chris Frost suggests, you can be in another room.

With the doors between rooms open and getting lucky with the angle of flat reflective surfaces you may be able to maintain a Bluetooth connection "round a corner" (*). But, I agree, RF wireless headphones are more useful for this application (I use RF at home and BT when out and about at work).

(*) That said my phone in the living room can connect with the Bluetooth speaker in the bedroom which is diagonally the opposite end of the house. Annoying when trying to connect to the Internet/Bluetooth radio I am stood next to instead forcing me to manually retry the connection several times.

Thanks for your replies guys,. I came across this

i emailed them and asked, basically the same questions I asked you. They said it should do the job and would be best to used with these headphones.

So I think I may go for this option..I Just hope they work! will let you know if they do.
Thanks again

If it was my wallet being emptied then I would go for these

over any Bluetooth device all day long.

I use an older but similar Sennheiser model but found that they were designed to fit the head of a giant so I had to add an inner strap (using some spectacle peeper-keepers) to get them to sit securely over my ears without slipping off.

Update. received Avantree Priva BT transmitter and Avantree headphones yesterday. It took me a while, in fact nearly the whole day , as I was up to my ears in wires instructions etc. Finally I figured it out and bloody hell was it worth the ordeal. We watched Transformers age of extinction last night in 3D and was blown away by the sound, and clarity and depth of the picture I had tried those Sennheiser headphones before chrisjr, but they were awful. the sound kept breaking up, with an irritating hissing noise, when they actually did pick up sound. So I went back to my wired headphones. But I can honestly say, that not once did the sound drop out last night. there was no interference and I could walk into the kitchen and upstairs and still the sound was solid. Also treated myself to a harmony remote, which is just the icing on the cake..So very happy bunny here...

Sounds like you did not have them tuned in to the right frequency. On mine you can tune in to a secondary frequency which has the effect you describe. On my older pair (which physically broke through mileage) there was no tuning dial and it locked into the right frequency so no risk of that happening. Not sure why they stopped using that system.
