Which new Roku 4K TVs will support MULTIPLE wireless headsets at the same time

I want to upgrade my existing HD TV to a 4K TV that will support connecting multiple wireless headsets directly to the TV (not through the Roku app) at the same time. Which, if any, 4K Roku TVs support this through either blue tooth or some other technology? I do not mind buying new headphones or other apparatus to do this, but the connection must be seamless without having to do anything special every time I turn on my TV. Optimally, it would be great if the TV could still broadcast sound through its regular speakers AND support headsets with volume control for people hard of hearing so the TV does not have to be turned up loud for everyone watching. But this is not an absolute requirement if each headset can have its own volume control.

    Of the models that support Bluetooth headphones (not all do), I don't believe any Roku TVs support multiple simultaneous Bluetooth headphones and they all mute the TV's speakers when headphones are connected.  I think your best bet would be a Bluetooth transmitter that connects to the optical audio output of the TV.  I've seen some that support two Bluetooth headphones simultaneously, but I don't know if there's any that support more than that.

    From the manual:

    You can pair multiple Bluetooth headphones to your TV but only one set can be
    connected and used at a time. In the case of separate left and right wireless earbuds, the pair counts as a single device.
