How to connect Hisense TV to Bluetooth speaker

Table of Contents

Introduction

Tired of weak, tinny sound from your Hisense TV’s built-in speakers? Want to enjoy deep bass and crisp audio by connecting a Bluetooth speaker? You’re not alone! Many Hisense TV owners struggle with Bluetooth pairing, but the good news is—it’s easier than you think. In this step-by-step guide, we’ll walk you through how to connect Hisense TV to Bluetooth speaker, troubleshoot common issues, and even provide alternative solutions if your TV doesn’t support Bluetooth.

Connect Hisense TV to Bluetooth speaker

To connect a Hisense TV to a Bluetooth speaker, first check if your TV supports Bluetooth in Settings > Sound > Sound Output. If it does, enable pairing mode on your speaker, select it from the TV’s Bluetooth list, and test the audio. For non-Bluetooth models, use a Bluetooth transmitter (optical/aux/RCA). Troubleshoot issues by restarting devices, reducing interference, or updating firmware. For better sound, adjust EQ settings or use HDMI ARC/optical audio for wired options. If Bluetooth lags, try a low-latency transmitter. Enjoy wireless, high-quality audio with these simple steps!

1. Check If Your Hisense TV Supports Bluetooth

Before trying to pair a Bluetooth speaker, you need to confirm whether your Hisense TV has built-in Bluetooth. Not all models support it, so here’s how to check:

How to Verify Bluetooth Compatibility

Check the TV’s specifications:
- Look up your Hisense TV model number (usually on the back or in the settings menu) and search online for its specs.
- Visit the official Hisense support page for Bluetooth compatibility.
Look for Bluetooth in the settings:
- Press the Home or Settings button on your remote.
- Navigate to Settings > Sound > Sound Output.
- If you see a Bluetooth option, your TV supports it.

What If Your Hisense TV Doesn’t Have Bluetooth?

If your TV doesn’t support Bluetooth, don’t worry! You can still connect a wireless speaker using:

A Bluetooth transmitter (connects via optical/aux/RCA)
A soundbar with HDMI ARC
A Wi-Fi speaker system (like Sonos or Bose)

We’ll cover these alternatives later in the guide.

2. Step-by-Step Guide to Pairing a Bluetooth Speaker with Hisense TV

Once you confirm Bluetooth support, follow these steps to connect your speaker:

1: Put Your Bluetooth Speaker in Pairing Mode

Turn on the speaker.
Press and hold the Pairing button (usually indicated by a Bluetooth symbol) until the LED flashes.
Some speakers automatically enter pairing mode when powered on.

2: Enable Bluetooth on Your Hisense TV

Press the Home or Gear (Settings) button on your remote.
Go to Settings > Sound > Sound Output.
Select Bluetooth Speaker List.

3: Select Your Speaker from the List

Your TV will scan for nearby Bluetooth devices.
Once your speaker appears, select it and confirm pairing.

4: Test the Audio

Play a video or music to ensure sound comes from the Bluetooth speaker.
If there’s no sound, check the volume levels on both the TV and speaker.

Pro Tip: Some Hisense TVs may require you to disable internal speakers in the sound settings for Bluetooth audio to work.

3. Troubleshooting Common Bluetooth Connection Issues

If your Hisense TV isn’t connecting to the Bluetooth speaker, try these fixes:

Problem: Speaker Not Showing Up in the List

Solutions:

Restart both the TV and speaker (power cycle them).
Ensure the speaker is in pairing mode (check the manual).
Move the speaker closer (Bluetooth range is typically 30 feet).
Check for firmware updates on your Hisense TV (Settings > Support > Software Update).

Problem: Audio Lag or Stuttering

Solutions:

Reduce interference by keeping Wi-Fi routers and other electronics away.
Enable “Game Mode” (if available) to reduce audio delay.
Use a Bluetooth 5.0 transmitter for better stability.

Solutions:

Reset Bluetooth settings on your TV.
Unpair and reconnect the speaker.
Try a different Bluetooth speaker to see if the issue is with the TV or the speaker.
