Depends which wireless headphones you have. Most headphones do not use WiFi, they use Bluetooth or 2.4 MHz RF. Usually a wireless headphone set will have a transmitter plus the headphones. The transmitter usually connects to the TV either with the analog L+R ouputs or the stereo headphone jack.
Unless there is a jack for plugging in a set of headphones to the TV, it may not be possible. The manual would clearly show if the TV has this option. Or there may be a way of using a wireless set of headphones, but then your TV would have to have the capability of transmitting the sound to the headphones.
What kind of headphones and TV are you trying to make work as an combined pair? It sounds to me as though you have your head phones plugged into the speaker location on the TV which could be a small hole that shows a pic of speakers. Look on the TV for an 'mic' or 'pic of headphones' holes. If there is an plug in hole with either it states mic or shows a pic of headphones plug the headphones into that hole instead of where you have them plugged into now.
Another suggestion is to use MDI cords in which you may already be using aka white, red, yellow colored plugs. If those plugs are assembled in the slots incorrect that also could be the reason as to why the headphones turn down when you turn the volume to the TV down; which also would influence the TV volume its self to also disengage to go either louder or quieter. MDI cords should be plugged in the following pattern to be categorized as the following with each color following the next color; yellow, white, red. Now if you are using MDI cords presently do you have them plugged in front or back of the TV?
If the TV has hole ports in both front and back for MDI cords then reverse your plug ins. Example: If you have them plugged in the front instead switch all three to the back of the TV or vise versa.
Also another thing; since you are wanting to use headphones for your TV speakers instead of the TV speakers themselves usually plugging headphones in are controlled by TV volume buttons; however I am assuming that you are trying to state that when you plug headphones into the TV you still hear the volume in your ears and anyone in the TV room is also still hearing the TV even though headphones are plugged in, am I right?
With you wanting to cancel the speakers on the TV out only attempted to use TV volume for speakers and without it working means you have the MDI cord plugged into the audio which would cause the TV to power the volume for the headphones anyways. May I ask this; since I am a bit confused, alright are you wishing for the headphones to be able to be loud enough so the TV only powers them for volume when you use the TV?
I know that headphones being plugged into an TV should only keep their volume within the ear buds. Therefore I have never heard of headphones being able to be loud enough to power out room sound. Instead they power internal volume which would be within your ears. Headphones were meant to keep noise and volume from surrounding a room to block room noise out and to keep the sound for your/ an own persons only listening capability. So because of this I am confused as to how ear phones would have the ability to sound the room with audio.
I can understand that if what you are trying to say is that the speakers on the TV still output volume even with head phones plugged in which would be an issue, since head phones are to capture the volume and noise from the unit in which plays aloud- to actually silence it instead- for the individual whom requires or presumes to have themselves to be the only listener.
If it does not have anything besides optical it will not work unless you have a system capable of optical input (some Logitechs have it, but don't remember which ones, i know that the Z-5500 does certainly have it but that's not too cheap).
Weird that it doesn't have a a headphone jack indeed. But if it doesn't, that optical digital out is the only way to connect it.
Hello,
IF your tv is capable of using headphones it will have a little jack with a head phone symbol over it or under it most likely. IF not you can buy a home theater system which would hook up to your tv and some of these have an option to hook up headphones or even ipods and usb devices.

The ability to turn off the external speakers of the radio being plugged into has to do with the capabilities of the radio itself, not the headphones. Most radios will automatically disable any built-in speakers when you plug headphones in but yours may require an extra step. Check your radio manual to see if it has a switch that can do this.
