Wireless Headphones for Directv/Samsung

[holiday]

Trying to get my folks hooked up with Bluetooth headphones. Need two sets of headphones to work with a Directv receiver, or a Samsung TV. So what is the best way to do this so they can both use their headphones while watching TV? Thanks in advance.

There are sets with charge-bases that connect directly to RCA out (L*R, AKA White-Red), and I think some now connect to Fiber out (can't remember what it is called), but I hooked my parents up with a Fiber to RCA adapter to make theirs work.

Not sure about Bluetooth and DirecTV, but I know I have used my Bluetooth headsets in the hotel rooms via my Firesticks. DirecTV NOW on a Firestick should work fine... and drop the box rental fee?

I bought a Bluetooth transmitter from Best Buy, my wife bought a set of Bluetooth headphones that suited her. Plugged the transmitter into the 3.5mm stereo output from the TV, paired the headphones to the transmitter and she's good to go. IIRC, the transmitter can send to two devices so both of your folks can listen.

My Dish Hopper 3 base receiver has bluetooth built in and the remote Joey units had a USB bluetooth adapter option from Dish for like $20. I would check the capabilities and optional features for the DirectTV system before you go hunting for aftermarket solutions.
