Everyone can hear your TV in their headphones with this transmitter

like We have expressed our regret beforeOne of the best modern Bluetooth features hasn’t been embraced by the tech world, but that’s changing. Sennheiser has announced a new pair of wireless headphones and a transmitter designed for private TV viewing, both of which use a Bluetooth feature called Auracast. Like tuning into a radio station broadcasting from a tower, multiple headphones, earbuds, hearing aids, and even speakers can tune in to the sound from the Sennheiser BTA1 digital transmitter without the hassle and limitations of pairing—if they’re Auracast compatible.

The $299.95 Sennheiser headphone bundle will be the RS 275 TV Available for pre-order This year it launches on February 3 and is expected to ship shortly after on February 17. They include the company’s new HDR 275 TV headphones, which feature breathable ear cushions and a user-replaceable 50-hour rechargeable battery.

The headphones also offer power and volume control buttons on their ear cups and connect to Sennheiser’s Smart Control Plus app for EQ adjustments. There’s a noise suppression feature, but it’s designed to reduce hiss and static from classic TV shows and movies, rather than silencing someone talking nearby.

Sennheiser’s BTA1 TV transmitter is also part of the package, but will be available on its own for $129.95. The transmitter can connect to and switch between multiple audio sources such as TVs and consoles through HDMI and even older devices with a 3.5mm analog audio cable. There are multiple sound modes including virtual surround sound and speech enhancement, but availability depends on the source you connect to.

Using your phone’s Bluetooth connection, you can configure transmitter settings like video delay compensation to ensure audio is in sync with the on-screen action, or password-protect your Auracast stream so neighbors can’t listen in. You’ll just need to power it through a USB-A port from either a nearby TV, or an adapter plugged into an outlet.

Bluetooth Auracast support isn’t widespread yet, but it’s slowly expanding. Headphones and earbuds from companies like JBL, Sony, and EarFun support it, as do some TV models from Samsung and LG. If your TV doesn’t, Sennheiser’s BTA1 TV Transmitter may be an easy way to bring the benefits of Auracast to your home theater.
