Bluetooth Headphone Adapter
Airline Entertainment, Gym and Treadmill Audio, TV Listening, Older Stereo and CD Players, Shared Listening, Wired to Wireless Upgrade
Overview
The Bluetooth Headphone Adapter is a small transmitter that plugs into any 3.5 mm headphone jack and makes that socket wireless, so you can use your own Bluetooth headphones with devices that have no wireless audio output of their own. It pairs with one or two sets of wireless headphones, earbuds or AirPods, which means two people can listen to the same airline seat screen, treadmill or television at the same time, and it remembers previously paired devices so reconnecting is automatic. Charging takes about 2 hours over USB and delivers roughly 20 hours of play time, covering a long flight or a week of short workouts. Typical uses are treadmills, airline movie screens, TV sets, CD players and any other device with a 3.5 mm jack. Sharper Image does not publish the Bluetooth version, wireless range or supported audio codecs, so latency and range should be treated as unspecified rather than assumed.
Key Highlights

- Pairs with one or two wireless headphones, earbuds or AirPods, making it possible for two people to listen to the same screen at once
- Remembers previously paired devices, so reconnecting on the next flight or workout takes no setup
