There are so much better TVs than The Frame and we all would heavily advise you that you look elsewhere. Build a custom frame around the TV yourself to keep the frame aesthetic if you have to, that’s what we recommend. If you still want that Frame though then that’s your call.

Also, your goal is zero wires but you will have wires. That Samsung One Connect wire cannot be ran through the wall since it was not legally rated to be in a wall. So you’ll be having a visible wire from your connect box In your shelf to your TV whether you like it or not. Sorry.

Bookshelf speakers are gonna look amazing aesthetically. Unless you have a really big room room you don’t need towers at all since it will be overkill. Also you’re already aware that no one is going to take a music room with a soundbar setup seriously, so that’s good.

Also, as far as your amp goes, how about a Sonos Amp with an adaptor to connect to the HDMI? Like this? it has an optical port as well as an aux port. may not be two six ports but I’m still looking. Also with that amp you get the benefit that you would get with a Sonos system with your bookshelf speakers. Idk, don’t know much about 2.1 amps tbh.

Also, pics when you’re done. I would love to see that room in its final form.

The correct answer is buy an AV receiver, but if you're not willing to do that you could try an HDMI audio splitter that outputs to RCA and 3.5mm.

After a billion hours of reading...I figured out my audio issue, and understand it.

An HDMI input carries sound back to a device, which gets read, converted, and pushed back out.

My particular TV pushes Dolby Digital Plus (DD+) over HDMI. Most device support Dolby Digital (DD) but but DD+, so it has to be converted to DD, or else it gets bumped to Stereo.

Some TVs convert and pass it through as either, but not mine.

A fire stick and Apple TV do the decoding and convert DD+ to DD for you, so everything works fine.

Chromecast, Sonos, and the old Shield (another device I've been looking at) can't convert the signal from DD+ to DD, so my audio gets scaled down to Stereo.

The new Shield that just came out yesterday CAN do the conversion.

So.... To fix my problem, I can by the new Shield.

Or

I can buy something like this....

Setup: From TV to HDMI Out on this box > Chromecast would go to HDMI In on this box, SONOS would plug into the optical out on this box.

>My dad's 70th birthday is coming up and he just got a new TV, a Samsung 55" Class Q7CN QLED Curved Smart 4K UHD TV (2018). The problem is that he's partly deaf and needs headphones to hear the TV. We need to get both speakers and Bluetooth headphones to work with the new TV. I'm just looking to get 2 speakers (one for each side of the room) and Bluetooth headphones (for my dad). I live in the US. My budget for the headphones is up to $200 and the same for the speakers but if I can get them cheaper, that's even better. He doesn't need the best audio quality, he just needs to be able to hear the TV. Thank you for any help.

Is the reason for both headphone and speakers at the same time because both your dad and mom are watching the TV?

Bluetooth does not usually work with more than 1 headphone or speaker at a time.

As what others have said, FiiO D3 (D03K) Digital to Analog Audio Converter will work with the optical out port from the TV to analog RCA Sennheiser RS 120. You may or may not be able to have the optical out and HDMI or TV speakers on both at the same time. Or use an optical splitter to split the signal for headphones and a speaker system.

Another option is an HDMI extractor. You have the wrong analog to HDMI converter and not the correct HDMI to analog converter. The extractor may also allow you to have both headphones and a speaker system at the same time.

For good Bluetooth headphones under $50, Monoprice.

To add speakers to a TV, use an AV receiver with 2 or more passive speakers or a pair of passive bookshelf speakers with an optical input.

One option to get sound from the headphones and external speakers at the same time is to use the optical out from the TV with a used AV receiver with pre-outs. It should allow you to use 2, 3 or 5, sometimes 7 wired speakers and also use the headphones at the same time.

Are you looking for wireless speakers? Denon has HEOS or Yamaha has Muiscast wireless systems.

Wireless is not needed for 2 speakers anyway since the speakers get placed on either side of the TV as far apart from each other as they are from the listener, not anywhere around the room. See Speaker Placement for Stereo Music Listening.

Sound from the TV speakers and external speakers at the same time is duplicative and does not have any advantage. The left and right external speakers should be on either side of the TV as far apart from each other as they are from the listener. Also having the TV speakers on does not add to the volume or quality of the sound. Adding a center channel speaker will allow you to boost its level for better dialog and the center channel gets placed directly under the TV where the TV speakers point to anyway. If you want 5 speakers all around the room, that is surround sound or you can play the same sound from all 5 speakers in mono mode.

I bought this yesterday, hasnt arrived yet. I now feel that this may be the wrong choice? L:/
Contacted TCL and they told me that it wont work because the CEC wouldnt pick up that connection.
That it "only picks up HDMI to HDMI connections" But I feel like this is- technically-suitable, well see?

I assume a couple of these with the correct, analog cables running into the mixer would suffice.

I haven't tried it but what if you use something like this: https://www.amazon.com/avedio-links-Extractor-Splitter-Converter/dp/B07H94D77V/ref=pd_sbs_23_t_0/144-5444921-2325455?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B07H94D77V&pd_rd_r=902ed8e7-fc83-4fd9-a571-45cf1f2f7bc9&pd_rd_w=hJI8M&pd_rd_wg=V0FyX&pf_rd_p=5cfcfe89-300f-47d2-b1ad-a4e27203a02a&pf_rd_r=YKADZBMQABMM1VBSJZBG&psc=1&refRID=YKADZBMQABMM1VBSJZBG

Use a chromecast (the normal hdmi one) and adapt it to this for 3.5mm out ?

These headphones can supposedly decode and reproduce multi-channel audio like DTS and Pro-Logic II. I'm not expecting to recreate my full speaker setup, but ideally I could use the Virtual Surround feature to some extent. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Doing a bit of digging, would something like this converter work?

An alternative would be to use a digital out directly from the source, but my primary media devices (AppleTV and Sony UBP-X700) don't have a digital out.

Bluetooth can sound pretty good, but it's variable depending on the specific protocols each piece of equipment supports. Ultimately, though, using wireless for a permanent connection is sort of silly. You'd be better-off with an HDMI ARC extractor.

Thank you so much for replying! I'm following what you're saying at a really basic level but that sounds a bit like another language to me. I don't mean to take up much more of your time but could you possibly send me a couple of links for the products needed for whichever of the two options you described above would be cheapest (I'm guessing the second option)? I'll hop online now as well to try to find products that match your description. Thanks again friend.

EDIT: Would this work?? It seems like this has a 3.5 mm out so I might not need a phono L/R to 3.5 mm socket adapter (not exactly sure what that is yet)?? https://www.amazon.com/avedio-links-Extractor-Splitter-Converter/dp/B07H94D77V

Perhaps something like this would work for you?

https://www.amazon.com/avedio-links-Extractor-Splitter-Converter/dp/B07H94D77V/

Never tried them myself.

Also, what type of input does your sub have?

not all headsets require an optical output. Some of the 5.1 or 7.1 headsets don't work that great either.

But that's one reason I have bigger model rather and a slim. All you need is a splitter off of the HDMI if you need optical.

I'm not sure if that's the cheapest or best one. just found one to link for you.


Some headsets are not comfortable and get hot. I'd give it a little more research but I think your best solution is some open back sennheiser headsets and mute your mics.

This. We use the HDMI to HDMI with audio jack for the hen we do competitions. Works great!

Edit: here is what we use!!

You've got two basic options, an HDMI Audio Extracter or a Digital to analog audio converter. The converter will probably be cheaper.

Note: I haven't used these particular products and have supplied their links as suggestions of products to look for. They SHOULD work for your intended purpose, but I can't guarantee anything, read reviews, but they should get you headed in the right direction if they themselves aren't what you need.
