"Connecting headphones directly to a TV or streaming stick is much more reliable than connecting to a soundbar. Workarounds exist, but if you want your soundbar and headphones to play audio simultaneously, you'll likely need to make some magic happen with an optical cable or an A/V receiver."
"Though Roku, Google, Amazon Fire, and Apple TV 4K support Dolby Atmos, you need either a compatible TV or an audio device connected to your TV's eARC port to encode audio in Dolby Atmos or other high-quality, spatial audio formats."
"Your headphones will not deliver Dolby Atmos audio when connected to a streaming stick or TV via Bluetooth. Instead, you'll likely receive audio over Bluetooth using the standard SBC codec, which is associated with higher latency, less quality."
Headphones can be connected to streaming devices like Roku, Google, Amazon Fire, or Apple TV for private viewing. Many TVs and streaming sticks support Bluetooth connectivity, but older models may not. Direct connections to TVs or streaming sticks are more reliable than soundbars. While Dolby Atmos is supported by some devices, Bluetooth connections typically use the SBC codec, which may result in higher latency and lower audio quality. This method allows for late-night movie watching without disturbing others or needing special headphones.
