Can Bluetooth headphones connect to a TV? Christmas gift picks for late-night watching
Yes on many smart TVs; older sets need AUX or a transmitter. Three Christmas picks: Space 2 Pro, OneOdio A70 and a Game Over sofa cushion.

Confirm Bluetooth or a 3.5 mm jack on the TV first, then gift headphones that cover wireless and AUX, plus sofa comfort for late-night sessions.
Yes — many modern smart TVs with Bluetooth (Google TV and Android TV models that support the A2DP audio profile) can pair wireless headphones so you can watch without waking the house. Older sets without Bluetooth need a 3.5 mm AUX cable into a headphone jack, or a separate Bluetooth transmitter on the TV’s audio out. Before you wrap a Christmas tech gift, check Settings for Bluetooth or Remotes and accessories, or find a headphone jack, then match the headphones to that path.
Best overall: Space 2 Pro for smart TVs and older sets
Anker’s page for the Soundcore Anker Soundcore 2026 New Space 2 Pro · Jet Black lists a 3.5 mm AUX input as well as Bluetooth 6.1 — so if the living-room TV has no Bluetooth, the included cable can still use a headphone jack while the same pair stays useful on a phone or laptop. The maker claims up to 60 hours of listening with ANC off and 30 hours with ANC on, with Adaptive ANC 3.0 aimed at mixed household noise. Treat those figures as Anker’s claims and confirm the Jet Black variant before you buy.
Best value: OneOdio A70 for tighter Christmas budgets
OneOdio’s page for the OneOdio A70 Bluetooth Headphones Over Ear lists Bluetooth 5.2, two detachable cables (3.5 mm and a dual-duty 6.35 mm/3.5 mm lead) and claims up to 72 hours of wireless playtime. The maker names TVs among supported Bluetooth devices, and wired mode still works with a TV headphone jack if pairing is awkward — a practical binge-watch gift for mixed smart and older screens.
Sofa style: Game Over cushion for marathon episodes
Late-night watching is as much about the sofa as the headphones. Game Over’s Gaming Cushion - Eat, Sleep, Game. Repeat (Purple) - Purple is sold new with dense memory foam, water-resistant double-stitched fabric and roughly 56 cm × 27 cm sizing for a chair, couch or bed. It is this post’s non-Amazon pick and a fresh cushion design versus recent Electronic Guru articles. Compare the online price, then haggle with a local shop via PriceHaggle if you prefer to collect nearby — that is a negotiation, not a promised saving.

Quick questions
Will every TV take Bluetooth headphones? No. Google’s Google TV help covers pairing headphones on Google TV, one audio device at a time; sets without Bluetooth need a jack or a transmitter.
Do Space 2 Pro and A70 both cover wired sockets? Anker lists AUX on the Space 2 Pro; OneOdio ships 3.5 mm and 6.35 mm cables with the A70 — check your TV’s socket first.
Is the Game Over cushion only for gamers? Game Over markets it for chairs, couches and beds, so film nights count too.
