Ways to connect headphones using Bluetooth.

To connect a Bluetooth headset to devices that don’t have Bluetooth, you need to use a Bluetooth transmitter. Bluetooth transmitters are devices dedicated to sending Bluetooth audio signals, as the name implies. They were created for when there is no Bluetooth function on devices, whether on an older TV, a sound box, an mp3 player or a desktop computer.

The Bluetooth transmitter plays the role of connecting wireless headphones (Bluetooth) to older TVs, consoles (PS4, PS5, Xbox and Nintendo Switch), receiver and home theater. For this, the S/PDIF connection (also called optical or toslink) is used to connect the Bluetooth transmitter to devices that do not receive or send information via Bluetooth.

Depending on the Bluetooth transmitter model, it is possible to connect up to 2 headphones at the same time, transmitting the audio to both of them simultaneously. An example is the FiiO BTA30, recently evaluated in Oficina da Net.

How to stream music to devices without Bluetooth?

To stream music to non-Bluetooth devices, you need to use a Bluetooth receiver. Bluetooth receivers are devices dedicated to receiving Bluetooth audio signals, as the name implies. They were created for when there is no Bluetooth function on the devices and you want, for example, to transmit music from your streaming application from your cell phone to an active speaker or an older TV.

The Bluetooth receiver plays the role of connecting older TVs or active speakers without Bluetooth to cell phones or tablets, for example. For this, the RCA connection and/or S/PDIF connection (also called optical or toslink) is used to connect the Bluetooth receiver to the cell phone or tablet that has streaming applications or music stored locally on the devices.
