Bought Sony Bravia TV with Android TV. Shocked that it can't pair bluetooth headphones?

Everything I'm reading indicates that this is currently impossible?

I'm just shocked that bluetooth headphones can't be paired something with bluetooth capability in this day and age!

What version of Android is it running? Headphone support is only available in Marshmallow and above.

Yep, Sony Android TVs need Marshmallow for this. Sony said they will upgrade the TV to Marshmallow, but who knows when that'll happen.

This was intentional by TV makers so that you have to hopefully buy their own audio products instead just using your own bluetooth products...... They'll claim that it was to ensure that customers don't bad audio experiences associated with some bluetooth products tough.

I share your indignation! So what can it connect to? PS4 Controller...?

Yup doesn't work. I had too buy a buffalo Bluetooth transmitter to make it work.
