Sound Advice: How to make your TV Bluetooth compatible

Q. I looked at the ZVOX AccuVoice AV52 headphones and love the features and $69 sale price, reduced from $199.99. I have an older Panasonic HDTV. What do I need in order to add Bluetooth so I can send sound to the headphones? My wife is anxious to get good TV sound again, and these headphones with dialogue improvement look like the answer!

A. You need a Bluetooth transmitter connected to the TV’s optical output. My top recommendation is the $45 Anker Soundsync A3341, which has low latency to avoid lip-sync problems. There are other transmitters available for as low as $30. As long as it has an optical input and promises low latency it should work for you, but the Soundsync ought to be a sure thing.
