Headphones

Which headphones can I purchase to pair with a Sony KD43XG8196 TV ( 2019 model) so that one person can use the TV speakers and a second person can listen using headphones, each having separate control of sound volume?

The ones you want to be connected to the Headphones output or connected via Bluetooth:

Hi @justsonyid 

Sorry, you cannot "pair" any headphones direct because your TV because it does not support the Bluetooth A2DP profile which is required. However it does have a headphones socket for wired headphones.

If you go in to your TV's Sound settings you should find Headphone/Audio out. Change this to Audio out (Fixed) to get sound from speakers and wired headphones.

Oops ... an oversight of mine I apologize, it is possible up to XG83...

For XG81 you can by the App Bluetooth Pair, you need to install the App installation package (APK) via a File Manager after moving it to the TV with a USB Memory.

Thanks Marino, for pointing me in the right direction. Owing to limited tech knowledge I am not sure how to start. Do you know if I can use our present Sony Wireless Headphones MDR RF860RK, or need to update with say e.g. WH1000XM?

If you don't want to think about anything, your MDR-RF860RK are fine, just connect them to the Headphone output.

Hello Marino, When I connect the cable (red and white terminals) to the TV and co-axial to the Headphones transmitter there is no sound.

You have to connect by Jack 3.5 mm to "Number 1":

TV's don't has Stereo Analogic Output (Red and White)... AUDIO OUT by Jack 3.5 mm is the only one...
