Bluetooth TV Headphone Volume
My dad's having a hard time finding a pair of headphones that play loudly when connected to his tele. When he connects to his smartphone the audio playback is loud. Television is a Hisense 65A6GTUK.
The headphone jack volume is at 100% but it's not that. Over Bluetooth it's a nightmare, he's paying for years of work in the metal industry, his hearing isn't the best now but being honest I've given the headphones a try connected to the tele and it's very low in volume.
The headphones itself haven't got any volume adjusters.
Thanks to anyone able to help my old man out

Re: Bluetooth TV Headphone Volume
Sounds like you need a headphone amplifier. I believe you can get them with a 3.5 mm jack input and Bluetooth connectivity. Not that expensive on Amazon but not used one for years and never with Bluetooth so can't vouch for the performance.

Re: Bluetooth TV Headphone Volume
If the audio from the phone is loud enough, but the TV audio isn't, I'd be initially looking at the TV not the headphones.
Are there audio 'limiting' settings on the TV?
Can you try the headphones in other devices (your phone or tablet) and see if the audio is ok on those?

Re: Bluetooth TV Headphone Volume
That amplifier, I might as well just hardwire him. Also there's an amplifier already using the headphone jack to red and black connectors.

Seeing as you already have an amplifier on the headphone jack it would appear the problem is the tv audio output.

Re: Bluetooth TV Headphone Volume
Has he got hearing aids seeing you said his hearing isn't the best?

Re: Bluetooth TV Headphone Volume
He uses his late father's aids lol
There's nothing in audio settings other than audio jack volume which is set to 100 but the amplifier takes over using its own volume adjustments.

Using someone else's ears is stupid. Get him to go to the doctors and get NHS hearing aids they're free, it's what I use and it was the best thing I did and left it far too long to do it.

Thenry so why hasn't your old man been and got his own hearing aids, you need to sort this out for him?

Re: Bluetooth TV Headphone Volume
Your guess is as good as mine. It ends in an argument when I suggest things to him. He's very stuck in his ways.
