So as the title states my Vizio 5.1 died all of a sudden and after everything I tied is but I do get power from the soundbar and sub woofer and with my budget not wanting top $400- I still have not seen any speakers that I can use.

So I will post this now for feedback and any questions and also I wanted to be able to hook up my Bluetooth headphones and that was something I have not found yet.

I was told by a tech guy that it wont work with my Vizio system I had because they both as the speakers and I like look at some systems that have that feature. Thanks! Also while I have speakers hooked for my Vizio 5.1 still that should be working so just buy a 2.1 and how would that work.? I know I I could not hook up to 4k videos from Amazon Prime due to missing audio so let me post before I think of another 10 ques :)

Check out the VIZIO SB46514 or SB36514 to add 4 up firing channels for discrete Atmos playback goodness.

Anyways I fixed the problem but I still like to know if any any other soundbar that has the ability to connect to my Bluetooth headphones and I just realized any way to hook them up to my current speakers?

we need more details, what exactly are your bluetooth headphones, and its available interconnects? and what end result would we be achieving?

I have bluetooth and two 900mhz wireless headphones connected to my TV. I have a Vizio 2.1 soundbar. I have it daisy chained together through countless splitters. You need a bluetooth receiver. It would be nice if they made soundbars that had a bluetooth receiver built in for headphones. The old school wireless headphones work better than the bluetooth due to the receivers. The TV's should have a bluetooth receiver as well for wireless cans. A dual sound option. It always seems to be one or the other, never both.
