Hi @iadonal2517

Would you please check your TV's model number. KD-85005B appears to be an invalid model number.

Hi @iadonal2517

Sorry that is invalid as well. Depending on the year it may be in the format KD-SSFY9999 or KD-SSF99Y.

So in general SS = Size in inches, F = Type W=HD X=4K LCD A=4K OLED etc., Y=Year J=2021 H=2020 G=2019 etc., 99 or 9999 = Series 7xxx=Entry (Linux) 8xxxx=Mid(Android) 9xxxx=Best(Android). Other formats exist.

Hi @iadonal2517

Thanks for that, X=4K, B=2014. This allows us to find your TV’s specifications (below).

Unless I am missing it, your TV does not appear to have a Bluetooth radio which rules out direct wireless headphones. So you are restricted to using the headphone socket or other audio out sockets like the digital audio output. So any wired headphones or wireless transmitter headphones that connect to your headphone socket will be compatible. I will leave it to others to make suggestions.

Just as an aside you should note that it is not an Android TV, it comes under the Other TVs community.

@iadonal2517

If you want to use Bluetooth headphones, and you are not using the Optical Out, you can get inexpensive Bluetooth transmitters that plug into the optical out, from Amazon and the like.

As regards headphones, I suggest you get a copy of What HiFi? and see what they recommend in each category. Buds, on-ear, over-ear, closed-back, open-back? But they will help you narrow it down.

@iadonal2517 Alternatively if you get a headphone with a long cable, you can connect it to the headphone port on the back of the TV using a 3.5mm plug.
