Steps
Press Home on the remote, open Settings, then Remotes and Devices, and look for Wireless Headphones. If the option is there, pair your headphones now. If it is missing, try the next method.
Install the Roku app on your phone and sign in with the same Roku account as the TV. Join the phone to the same Wi-Fi network as the TV.
Pair your Bluetooth headphones to the phone in the phone's Bluetooth settings first, so the app has somewhere to send the sound.
In the Roku app, tap Devices and choose your Hisense TV. Tap the headphones icon to start private listening and the TV audio moves to your headphones.
For a permanent fix, add a Roku streaming player with Bluetooth, such as a Roku Ultra. Plug it into an HDMI port and set it up with your Roku account.
On that player, open Settings, Remotes and Devices, then Wireless Headphones, and pair your headphones. Watch your apps through the player's HDMI input.
As a last option, plug a Bluetooth transmitter into the TV's optical or 3.5 mm headphone jack, hold its pairing button until the light flashes, then pair your headphones.
Tips and common mistakes
Private listening only works while the Roku app is open and the phone stays on the same Wi-Fi, so keep the phone charged.
Power a Bluetooth transmitter from the TV's USB port so you do not need a separate charger.
Check the Roku player's spec sheet for Bluetooth audio before buying, since not every model supports headphones.
A cheap transmitter can add a slight lip-sync delay, so look for one with a low latency mode.
Questions
Why is there no Bluetooth option on my Hisense Roku TV?
Many Roku TV models have no Bluetooth radio built in, so the menu item simply does not exist. The workarounds above send the sound another way instead of adding the missing hardware.
Can I connect Bluetooth headphones straight to the TV?
Only if your model shows Wireless Headphones under Settings, Remotes and Devices. If it does not, use the Roku app or a transmitter.
Does private listening work with any headphones?
Yes. The phone handles the Bluetooth connection, so any headphones or earbuds that pair with your phone will work.
