If I'm not mistaken, I think you can pair Airpods with the Apple TV and have private listening.

You’re right.

But now I have mixed feelings about that...

- The AirPods cost more than the 32 inch Roku TCL TV.

- It’s Apple, I should expect to pay out the nose for anything Apple related that I buy.

- I can buy a Roku stick for $49 for the TV in my home gym that only has a 3rd gen AppleTV and use my phone for private listening.

- I’ve already got to convince my wife to let me get a 27 inch iMsc.

- If I get the AirPods my wife is going to see how convenient they are and want a pair too.

The AppleTV works with any standard Bluetooth headphones/speakers, not just AirPods
Oh yeah. And another advantage of Roku’s private listening is that all of my exercise equipment has speakers and a 3.5 inch jack. I can turn on private listening on my phone and pipe the audio from my phone to my treadmill, elliptical and bike. I don’t have to wear headphones and I can keep the audio down so it doesn’t disturb the rest of my family.
