Hello all, my dad is hard of hearing and uses headphones to listen while watching tv. MY question is, I know he can listen to Apple TV with his AirPods, but is there a way that he can listen with his AirPods (he uses noise canceling so he won’t hear the background noise) and the rest of the family use the tvs speakers to watch tv? We love to watch as a family, but it’s hard for him because he can’t hear dialogue.
If the soundbar supports AirPlay, you could try casting the audio via AirPlay to several devices simultaneously - to the soundbar and to the headphones. It works with AppleTV and multiple AirPods for sure, as I’ve used it before.
It’s a somewhat stupid idea since you’re sending audio data to the soundbar (which is connected by a cable to the TV) via wireless radio (so the cable is essentially useless), but it should work.
