Hi,
I have searched through the forums to try and find the answer to my problem but have had no luck, apologies if it has been answered elsewhere!
I would like - a pair of surround headphones for late night listening of streamed TV, a PS4 and Blu Rays when the missus has gone to bed and the boy is asleep.
My setup - an LG CX, PS4, Oppo 203 UHD Blu Ray, Marantz SR7013 AVR.
The PS4 and Oppo are connected to the AVR via HDMI, the AVR then connects to the TV with a single HDMI via eARC.
I stream Netflix and Prime via the TV's apps.
Ideally I would like to listen to surround sound via headphones when playing games, watching streaming and when watching blu rays.
I can live with wired headphones, wireless would be nice.
Now, if I connect headphones to the phones jack on the AVR, will I only get stereo? Or at best upmixed surround that the headphones are doing?
If I connect headphones direct to the TV, presumably I will get surround audio when streaming but not when watching a blu ray as the AVR is only sending a video signal to the TV? The TV's internal speakers are not available with my current setup when watching a disc or gaming.
This will be my first foray into the headphones world, I'm not fussed with claims of 9 channel audio, just a good quality pair of surround headphones.
Any advice greatly received as always! Any product suggestions would be great, could stretch to around £300.
Many thanks
