Hi,
My daughter bought me a set of  OdioA70 headphones for Christmas.
They paired perfectly to my MacBook but I cannot get them to pair to the  LG42LF652V TV set. The TV does not recognise them.
Is this because they are just not compatible with the TV and if so can anyone recommend any headphone brands that will pair with the tv ?
Any advice much appreciated.
Thanks
Brian Lacey

The phones SHOULD stay in pairing mode for a minute or two, so ensure you have the TV Sound settings up to search for Bluetooth devices while this is active. After that, you will have to power them off and on again if you were slow getting into the TV Sound settings to search for devices.
Check if your Headphones user guide mentions pairing mode.

Bear in mind your TV is an older 2016 model, so this might limit the compatibility.  I have seen posts where even LG Bluetooth headphones will not pair with some models. Maybe othere on here have experience of these. I do not use them I am afraid.

Many thanks for the suggestion. Tried it but no change. I think the TV is one of those where it has to be a LG headphone set to make the connection.

Cheers

Hi @[email protected]

I think you model is from 2015 and running webOS 2.0 (unless there was an upgrade to v3) and support for Bluetooth was probably not that brilliant at the time.

There is a firmware upgrade listed from May 2020 you could look at:

      Using ARC sound bar and bluetooth headphones at same time C9 OLED TV
      By Nigelrw
      We ran an ARC sound bar with surround sound on a C9 OLED TV - this works fine . I would like to add a bluetooth headphone for my partner to use as her hearing is getting worse but key is to operate both the sound bar and the bluetooth headphones at same time  - Has anyone done this . I can see away to do it with internal speaker option but quaility of speakers is not too good on the C9.

      Bluetooth distortion with headphones/earphones
      By Carl83
      Hi
      I have a LG 65NANO80VPA which works perfectly overall.
       
      The only issue is that when I connect bluetooth headphones or earphones, the audio is initially perfect but after a minute or two it starts distorting. If I disconnect and reconnect the bluetooth device, the sound goes back to being perfect, but only briefly before developing scratchy distortion as before. I have found this to be the case with Sony XM5 headphones as well as Samsung Galaxy Buds Live.
      I have tried various audio settings on the head/earphones and on the TV and nothing fixes it.
      When I connect a UE Boom 3 bluetooth speaker to the TV, it works flawlessly with no distortion.
      I thought it might be my TV unit that has a problem. I went to a local retailer who has a LG ultra short throw laser projector on display (Cinebeam HU715Q). I took my own head and earphones with and connected to the projector and had exactly the same audio distortion issue, identical to my TV.
       
      This leads me to think it is some compatibility issue between the LG WebOS software and bluetooth earphones/headphones?
      I have searched the web and couldn't find any complaints about the same problem.
      A friend has an older LG TV with an old WebOS version and that TV doesn't give the same bluetooth distortion with my audio devices.
      This issue is a dealbreaker for me and I am looking at getting a different brand of TV as a result, unless someone can come up with a solution?
      Thanks

      Sound output ONLY for Bluetooth headphones NOT "+Internal speakers"
      By bobjirous
      Hello,
      I am not able to force my new TV LG 49UN7400 to sound output only for BT - not BT headphones + internal speakers. Headphones are correctly paired, because "headphones + internal speakers" works, but I want hear sound ONLY in headphones and the choice "Bluetooth" is not active/selectable... 😕 Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

      Using headphones and TV speakers at same time
      By Symbiodin
      I have an LG OLED55C6P TV. Because of hearing difficulties, I generally use bluetooth headphones when watching the TV.  As far as I have been able to determine, there appears to be no way to use the headphones and also have the TV speakers working at the same time. This means that if I'm watching TV, no one else can watch and listen unless they have headphones.  Am I missing something?  Is there a way to have the headphones and TV speakers working at the same time?
