How I connect my Sony Bluetooth headphones to my Sony Bravia TV, day-to-day use

by grakky99

TV: Sony XBR-65X950G

BT Headphones: Sony XB950N1

AFTER you had already paired/registered the headphones with the TV:

  • power ON the headphones (L ear)
  • then press down the PLAY button (R ear). There is a FF, Play, Previous control on the R ear.

Yes it's that easy but Sony doesn't publish this for these headphones for some reason. Maybe they're included with other headphone models but this is my first set and I was scratching my head as to why is this always such a painful process. The way I USED to connect was getting into the TV Settings/Remotes & Accessories/Bluetooth/click on the registered headphones model/Connect and boom it worked.

I read this somewhere else on Reddit but couldn't find that post to confirm.

EDITS: more accurately identified where the /Bluetooth settings are on my TV

Can anyone confirm if this is works for generic BT headsets or is it one of those Sony exclusive features?
