Night owls, rejoice! If you’re someone who loves a good late-night Netflix binge but doesn’t want to wake up the whole house, Roku has a nifty trick up its sleeve. This hidden gem lets you enjoy your big screen TV in peace without disturbing others. Here’s how it works.
Roku devices, unlike some of their streaming buddies, need a little extra help to connect to Bluetooth headphones. But fear not, it’s nothing you can’t handle with a smartphone and the Roku app. Start by downloading the app from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store. Then, ensure your phone and Roku are on the same Wi-Fi network. Once connected, you can use the app as a virtual remote and send audio to your headphones. This means you can watch your favorite shows without waking up your roomie, even if they’re having one of those endless Zoom calls!
While Roku requires a bit of setup magic, platforms like Google TV and Amazon Fire TV keep it simple with direct Bluetooth pairing. Just pop your headphones into pairing mode and connect them directly to the device. Easy peasy! If you’re curious about how these platforms compare, check out our other streaming device comparisons.
So, what’s your next move? Grab your headphones, set up your Roku, and dive into your next binge session without a hitch. And keep an eye out for more streaming tips and tricks here!
