need an adapter (plugs into back of TV ((audio jack or RCA (red-white) )))) that best-buy sells.. course according to reviews those devises are sketchy... sometimes they work sometimes they don't ... but that's what u need.. to get these to work with your TV,, now MOST high-end TV's come with Bluetooth built right into TV then your set :) ..just Bluetooth search BB site u will see the adapter... if u just need them for TV only. there are a few that make them just for TV use (no BT) SENNHEISER are good .. i have them .. but sony makes them too..(aka TV EARS)
