Bluetooth technology is no longer exclusive to mobile phones. Its presence is notorious in a large part of the smart televisions that are currently manufactured, making it easier for sound to be transmitted from these devices without the need for cables to compatible reproduction devices such as headphones and speakers.
However, its integration into conventional televisions is not appreciated, that is, those that lack an operating system. In fact, it is very rare to find conventional TV models with Bluetooth, so the only way to enjoy a wireless sound experience from them is to use an external adapter, which is connected via the auxiliary audio output, and can be linked later with wireless audio players.
Despite this improvement, the audio content that can be played from the conventional screen will continue to be limited to the audio and video sources that its design allows: usually audio systems that work with HDMI or RCA cables (in older models).
How to have Bluetooth on a TV without using a transmitter?
However, there is a way to enjoy a true wireless audio experience from a conventional display. It consists of using streaming devices compatible with Bluetooth, being the most representative at the present time, the Chromecast with Google TV device.
This device equipped with the Google TV system, connects via HDMI to the TV and incorporates Bluetooth technology, with which it can be easily linked with wireless speakers and headphones. In addition, it offers the possibility of enjoying a complete entertainment platform such as Google TV, very similar in operation to Android TV, and with the ability to run multimedia applications and games.
Another alternative device with similar Bluetooth capabilities is the Fire TV Stick powered by Amazon’s Fire OS platform, also derived from the Android TV platform. In this same category are Xiaomi’s Mi Box S and Realme TV Stick 4K devices, the Nvidia Shield TV box, as well as many other set-top boxes based on Android TV or Google TV.
