How do I convert optical connection from TV to 3.5mm headphones

[martin.carline]

Just bought a 43 inch 4k TV from Amazon - Hisense H43A6200UK. This one -

I'm trying to figure out if it has a normal 3.5mm audio out connection as my and the wife like to lay in bed at night and use our headphones to listen to the TV. We have a long extension 3.5mm that runs from the current old Samsung TV and we have a two-way splitter that we plug our small headphones into.

According to one question that's been answered on Amazon someone has said it does have a 3.55m audio out connection, however according to the specs it only has optical.

I have two questions -

1. Does this TV have a 3.5mm audio out as well as optical connection?

2. When it lands tomorrow and only has an optical audio out connection, will I need to buy something like this to convert it? -

It doesn't have the 3.5mm headphone output.

you can use something like this.

Thanks for the fast reply. I didn't think it did either, but why would someone say it does in the Q & A part? Very strange.
I am in the UK, so could you please confirm that link I sent is OK? Thanks

This is the cheapest one I've found on Amazon. Would this one work? - https/www.amazon.co.uk/OLRIKE-Digital-Coaxial-Tosllink-Converter-black/dp/B01KTSTYWM/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1538497974&sr=8-3&keywords=digital+to+analog+audio+converter

Specifications says no analog output.

the links work.

....and the link from das_stig shows it doesn't have the 3.5mm headphone output.
