Thank you for posting here in the Roku Community, wickerwoman!
We appreciate you reaching out for support. We'd be happy to provide further information about the Headphones Mode (private listening) feature.
Some Roku streaming devices allow you to pair and connect Bluetooth earbuds or headphones directly to your device for Headphone Mode. When Bluetooth headphones are connected, you can listen to any content streaming on your Roku device. If you have a Roku Streambar® SE, Roku Streambar, or Roku Streambar Pro, you can also listen to audio from your TV if connected via an HDMI ARC or optical connection.
However, if you are referring to the Roku Voice Remote Pro, which has a headphone jack, you need to use wired earbuds as the Bluetooth feature is not available directly on the physical Roku remote.
Furthermore, you may also use the Roku mobile app as an alternative to your physical remote. The mobile app's Remote feature allows you to use your phone or tablet as a Roku remote and is fully equipped with the Headphones Mode (private listening) feature.
For further details about this, here are some of our support articles dedicated to this:

- How to use your Roku voice remote with headphones for Headphone Mode
I hope you find this information helpful.
Best regards,
Carly
