Connect Bluetooth Wireless Headphones System for TV
Includes Connect Bluetooth audio transmitter and Matrix Cinema wireless headphones, paired and ready for use right out of the box.
Listen to TV Audio Without Disrupting Others.
The Connect transmitter enables TVs and other devices to stream clear, distortion-free digital sound wirelessly to Bluetooth headphones or speakers. Enjoy your TV without bothering roommates, children, or other family members, or watch TV in bed without disturbing your significant other.
Powered by Bluetooth.
With Bluetooth wireless technology, the Connect transmits clear, distortion-free digital audio to Bluetooth headphones, speakers, and other receivers up to 30 feet away. There is no white noise, no need to “tune” for the right frequency, and no way for a stranger to listen in on your audio stream simply by having similar headphones.
Qualcomm aptX Low Latency technology
Lag-Free Audio
The Connect supports Qualcomm®aptX™and aptX™Low Latency Bluetooth audio codecs for high-fidelity, low latency audio with aptX-enabled headphones. aptX provides the highest possible wireless audio quality, delivering full-range sound with crystal clarity, while aptX Low Latency also minimizes audio delay and prevents lip-syncing issues.
Digital & Analog Connectivity.
The Connect offers both analog and digital audio inputs for the widest compatibility with old and new TVs, as well as any other devices with optical (TOSLINK S/PDIF), RCA, or 3.5mm stereo audio output - computers, tablets, digital streaming boxes (including Apple TV and Amazon Fire TV), and more.

FAQs
Information on pairing, connecting, and troubleshooting
Will the MEE audio Connect work with all TVs?
The Connect works with TVs that have at least one supported audio out connection: digital audio out (optical TOSLINK), RCA audio out, or headphone jack. The Optical connection, if available, is generally recommended for best audio performance and flexibility.
Will the Connect Bluetooth Transmitters work with my hearing aids?
This depends on the hearing aids - it will work with hearing aids that (1) support stereo audio over Bluetooth (the A2DP Bluetooth profile) and (2) can be paired to a Bluetooth device without the use of an app or an additional Bluetooth accessory (same as a headphone). If both (1) and (2) are true, you will be able to pair your hearing aids by putting the hearing aids and the Connect transmitter into Bluetooth pairing mode at the same time.
How do I adjust the volume on my AirPods when using them with a Bluetooth transmitter such as the MEE audio Connect?
We strongly recommend using a pair of earphones or headphones that has a built-in volume control. That said, if AirPods are your only option, you can adjust the volume by connecting them to your iPhone or iPad, increasing or decreasing the volume, and then pairing them back to the Connect transmitter.
Does using the MEE audio Connect create a lag (delay) in the audio?
Bluetooth is a digital wireless signal and there is some latency expected due to the coding/decoding steps that must occur, but the Connect is designed to minimize audio lag. In addition to regular Bluetooth audio, the Connect also supports both the aptX and aptX Low Latency audio codecs, which are notable for having lower latency (smaller audio delay) compared to regular Bluetooth audio.
Using the Connect with a headphone that supports aptX will reduce audio lag, and using it with a headphone that supports aptX Low Latency (highly recommended) will lower the lag to where it is not noticeable at all. The MEE audio Matrix Cinema headphones provide the best low latency audio experience with MEE audio transmitters.
Can I use the Connect to stream music wirelessly from my phone to a speaker or other non-Bluetooth audio device?
No, the Connect only works as a Bluetooth transmitter. Transmitters connect to the audio source (such as a TV or computer) using a wire and stream the audio wirelessly to Bluetooth headphones or speakers. In order to stream your music from your phone to a non-Bluetooth speaker, soundbar, or other audio device, a Bluetooth Receiver such as the Connect Hub is needed.
Do I need to plug the MEE audio Connect into a power source?
Yes. Although the Connect includes a built-in battery, it still needs to be plugged in to charge. If you are using the Connect with a TV, we recommend keeping it plugged in to a power source at all times for convenience.
Can others still hear my TV / Can I use my TV speakers while using the MEE audio Connect with Bluetooth headphones?
Yes, depending on the type of audio output your TV has. If your TV has a digital optical audio output (also known as a TOSLINK or Optical S/PDIF connection), then you will be able to use this device with Bluetooth headphones AND hear the TV's built-in speakers simultaneously, so others can still listen to the TV without headphones.
