Is there a way to connect my WH-1000XM2 headphones wirelessly to my KDL-40HX803 TV?

The TV itself does not support Bluetooth, but I could get a Bluetooth dongle which plugs into the mini headphone jack on the TV, but I'd bet that I'd run into lip-synch problems.

Short of upgrading my TV, what are my options?

Hi swiftie,

Welcome to our community!

As you've already mentioned your KDL-40HX803 TV doesn't support the needed Bluetooth profile to connect and use wireless Bluetooth headphones with it. I wouldn't recommend using a Bluetooth dongle as its operation is not guaranteed and I don't think Sony will be able to provide support for that.

If you're looking to buy a new TV and you'll be using Bluetooth headphones with it then I suggest taking a look at this link from Sony's website where it mentions that TVs and headphones that are compatible with each other for such function.

Hope this helps.

Ah, there is an additional complication; the TV sound goes via an SA-WA5 sound system.

Hi Swiftie,

This sounds like a complicated set up but we'll take a look and see what we can find out for you.

Well, if it helps, I'm thinking of upgrading to a KD55AF8BU, and if that
can pair with my headphones, and the KDL-40HX803 would be
difficult/impossible to pair, then that would make the decision easier.
