Hi there

Unfortunately none of Sony's TVs are able to pair with any bluetooth headphones. This is because of the lack of the A2DP bluetooth profile which is required for audio. This has already been put forward to Sony as a most requested feature.

So what can you do? You will need to purchase a bluetooth transmitter that plugs into the TVs headphone socket. A couple of suggestions are:

Hopefully this helps.

Just so Sony can tie you into buying their headphones....

Hi there

As i mentioned on twitter (assuming it was you) - its not the case of the headphones not being Sony, its the case that Sony TVs do not support ANY bluetooth headphones.

Cheers
