Connecting Bluetooth Headphones to Uniti Nova

Posted by: Leon Wadsworth on 26 November 2017

Hi all, hope we enjoyed a good weekend!

I would like to ask if anyone knows of how best I can connect my nova to a pair of BT headphones?

Q1:Can Bluetooth in the nova be used as an audio out (to connect a pair of bluetooth headphones to receive the audio signal ?

Q2: Pretty sure the answer to the above is no and in the event I had thought a plan B could be to purchase a BT receiver and connect to the 3.5mm jack then connect headphones to that. Can anyone recommend a good receiver (must be APT-X (hi-res capable), the headphones (B&W PX) are compatible.

Q3: Can anyone see any issues with my rationale in Q2 regards audio quality or anythign else?

Any help on the above would be great. If this is the wrong forum apologies!

The Bluetooth on the Nova is receive-only, so you can't connect headphones to a Nova by Bluetooth and expect to get music from the Nova.

You can connect a Bluetooth transmitter (not a receiver) to the headphone socket on the Nova, but I can't comment on the sound quality because I haven't done it. I suspect it would be ok but nothing special.

best
