Can't pair WH-XB700 Headphones to KD-55XF8096 TV

I've just got a new set of Sony headphones with the idea of pairing them via blue tooth to my Sony TV. 

I switch on Bluetooth on my TV and on the Headphones and my TV cannot see them.

The headphones connected easily to my Phone via the Sony Headphone app...

What do I need to do guys...

Please don't tell me the yare incompatible!!

Thanks for your help Marino.

Tell me do you think I should just get another pair of headphones that are compatible or do you mean my TV just doesn't do Bluetooth Headphones regardless of make and model number?

Hard to say, the TV is born without Bluetooth Audio but it is possible that a limit is created by the App that allows us to bypass the problem.
It must also be said that Bluetooth is certainly not the best connection possible for a classic Surround System, but if it is in the Headphones you hear as "mono" then there is something that maybe you can't get. Maybe you don't have to try to get Surround but just a Stereo.

So I have sent the headphones back.

Such a shame they were beautiful.

They had 360° sound but we're totally and utterly useless paired to the TV 

All I could do was change the volume!!!

So I might as well get a much cheaper pair which is what I'm doing.

Still Sony but £40 instead of £150!!!
