You settle into your favorite chair for a late-night movie, but the moment you press play, you worry about waking the household. Or perhaps you struggle to catch every word of dialogue, while others in the room find the volume just fine. These are the moments when Bluetooth connectivity on your TV becomes a game changer. With a TV that supports Bluetooth, you can pair wireless headphones, soundbars, or speakers without a tangle of cables. In this guide, we review the top TVs with Bluetooth available in 2026 plus smart accessories that add Bluetooth to any older set. Whether you need a compact bedroom TV or a solution for sharing audio in a larger living space, these picks cover every scenario.
We have evaluated Roku Select Series smart TVs for their built-in wireless capabilities and also considered add-on transmitters that bring low-latency audio to non-Bluetooth televisions. For a deeper look at compact options, see our roundup of Best TVs for Dorm Rooms in 2026.
Buying Guide: What to Look for in a TV with Bluetooth
Built-in Bluetooth vs. Add-On Transmitter
The first decision is whether you need a TV that already includes Bluetooth or if you can use an external transmitter. Modern smart TVs like the Roku Select Series often feature Bluetooth for voice remotes, but they may not support wireless headphone pairing directly. For guaranteed compatibility, a Bluetooth audio transmitter such as the 1Mii B06TX connects to your TV’s audio output and streams to any Bluetooth headphones or speakers. This is especially useful for seniors who want clear dialogue without replacing the entire TV. Check our guide for best TVs for seniors for more tips.
Screen Size and Resolution
Your room size and viewing distance dictate the ideal screen dimensions. For a bedroom or kitchen, a 24-inch 720p set like the Roku 24-Inch Select Series delivers a bright picture without overwhelming the space. If you want a sharper image for a living room or gaming den, step up to a 32-inch or 40-inch Full HD model. The Roku 32-Inch and 40-Inch variants offer 1080p resolution, which is plenty for most content. For larger spaces, consider the HAPPRUN Roku TV Mini Projector, which turns any wall into a massive screen with built-in Bluetooth for audio streaming.
Smart Platform and Connectivity
A smooth smart TV experience depends on the operating system. Roku’s platform is known for its simplicity, fast app launches, and free streaming channels. All Roku Select Series TVs feature built-in Wi-Fi, voice control via Siri, Alexa, or Google Assistant, and Apple AirPlay for sharing content. The HAPPRUN projector also runs Roku, so you get the same interface in a portable form. For conference rooms or shared spaces, a large Roku TV can double as a presentation display.

Audio Features and Latency
When using Bluetooth for audio, latency can cause lip-sync issues. Look for products that support aptX Low Latency, like the 1Mii B06TX transmitter, which keeps dialogue in sync. The Mutbam Wireless Headphones for TV come with a dedicated transmitter that also offers low-latency audio with a range of up to 100 feet. For built-in speakers, the HAPPRUN projector includes Dolby Audio and dual stereo speakers, though for the best experience you will still want wireless headphones in a shared home. We also cover general TV features in our TVs category page.
Final Thoughts
After reviewing the products, we recommend the Roku 40-Inch Select Series Smart TV 2026-1080p for anyone who wants a larger screen with straightforward Bluetooth pairing for voice control and the option to add a dedicated transmitter for wireless headphones. For those with an older TV or a tighter budget, the 1Mii B06TX Bluetooth 5.3 Transmitter for TV to 2 is a cost-effective way to enjoy low-latency audio with any set, making it an ideal companion for the Mutbam headphones or any Bluetooth speaker.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do Roku TVs have Bluetooth built in?
Roku Select Series TVs include Bluetooth for the voice remote and for connecting to smart home devices like Alexa and Google Assistant. However, they do not support direct Bluetooth headphone pairing out of the box. To use wireless headphones, you will need an external transmitter such as the 1Mii B06TX or the Mutbam headphone system.
Can I add Bluetooth to an old TV without Bluetooth?
Yes. A Bluetooth audio transmitter connects to your TV’s optical, RCA, or 3.5mm audio output and streams to any wireless headphones or speakers. The 1Mii B06TX is one of the best options in 2026 thanks to its dual-antenna design and aptX Low Latency support.
What is aptX Low Latency and why does it matter?
aptX Low Latency is a codec that reduces audio delay to around 40 milliseconds, which is nearly imperceptible. It ensures that dialogue matches the speaker’s lip movements when using Bluetooth headphones. Both the 1Mii transmitter and the Mutbam headset support this technology.
How do I connect wireless headphones to a Roku TV?
Since Roku TVs lack Bluetooth audio output, the easiest method is to use a transmitter plugged into the TV’s audio jack. Alternatively, you can use the Roku mobile app on your phone to stream audio to Bluetooth headphones, but this requires the TV to be on the same Wi-Fi network.
