I am looking at purchasing a Beam or Arc for my TV. There are times when I need to listen with Bluetooth headphones in another room while people are watching the TV (e.g. news). But my TV doesn't support simultaneous output to both Bluetooth and Arc or Optical.

Is it possible to output audio to my Beam or Arc and connect Bluetooth headphones to it?

But no, there are no Sonos devices that would connect a line out to any Bluetooth device. Those Sonos devices that are Bluetooth capable are receivers only, not transmitters.

This would be a function of the TV. Some TV’s incorporate a Bluetooth transmitter. If your TV supports simultaneous output from HDMI-eARC and optical, you could connect a Bluetooth transmitter to the TV’s optical output.
