Wireless headphones for use with Playbar?

I know there are lots of topics on this, but they are all old. Any news on getting wireless headphones to work with playbar/sub? There is no way to listen to the tv privately with sonos at this point.

    But if you were listening through headphones in what sense would you be listening to the Playbar and Sub?

    Maybe I should rephrase my question... Is there a way to listen to tv on wireless headphones? It would be awesome to pair the home theater with a set of headphones and listen privately at times.

    If you are listening through headphones you are not listening to the home theatre system.. Sonos make speakers and you are not listening to the speakers. Get some Bluetooth headphones and a transmmitter. Mute the Sonos.

    It's too bad that there is such a gaping hole in the system. Switching sonos off and buying a another transmitter device is kind of a bummer. There are plenty of people who'd love to occasionally listen to their tunes or play the tv on headphones, without leaving the sonos environment.

    I have an Apple TV and if I don't want to wake anyone I select the headphones from the bluetooth menu and use my wireless headphones. I know this doesn't help with other media devices but its an idea.

    I have the same issue. Little kids upstairs at night and Game of Thrones blasting downstairs does not work. Nice to use headphones sometimes.

    Can be done with Amazon Fire Stick https://www.cnet.com/how-to/use-bluetooth-headphones-with-your-amazon-fire-tv/

    Best bet is plugging headphones directly into TV - there is usually an audio port (3.5mm) on the back or side. Or a bluetooth transmitter and wireless headphones.
