This is how you can pair your headphones to Chromecast and listen to audio from your Chromecast on headphones. This will let you hear content from your Chromecast, but you won’t be able to listen to the built-in TV content. If you play content from the built-in streaming service on TV, you won’t be able to hear it.

However, if you use the same streaming service through Chromecast, you will be able to hear it on your headphones. In short, the headphones are only connected to Chromecast and can be used to listen to Chromecast content only.

Hope the steps above help you to connect your headphones to Chromecast. For more How-to guides, News, and leaks related to Google Chromecast stay connected with us.
