Andy Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Hi, ....again I wish there was a forum for general questions and not just model specific...anyway, are there any Buzz boxes that have built-in bluetooth transmission for audio to, say for example, bluetooth headphones? I need to be able to watch TV with no sound in the room due to a sleeping parrot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emporium Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 As DU mentioned, they all do. I use a cheap BT earpiece in my bedroom when watching TV and wife is asleep. I have an xrs4900 in the bedroom. In my office, I use the X5, and since it is connected to an HP computer monitor, I use anker bluetooth speaker for audio. The older boxes, using BT4, sometimes had a small lag, but if I recall there were some possible adjustments. The newer units with BT5, have been pretty straight forward and pretty much always in sync. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted January 17, 2023 Author Share Posted January 17, 2023 Oh OK...I have a 4000 and cannot get my headphones working on this device. Sometimes they will pair, sometimes not (usually not) and even then I don't get audio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emporium Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Sorry, don't have a 4000 to test it. I used to have my xpl3000 (which I never tested the BT), and then jumped to an xrs4500. On the XRS4500, most bluetooth devices I have, work fine. There are few el-cheapo Chinese headphone I have, which rarely reconnect on their own. A few minutes ago, I re-tested with one of my Plantronics PLT Focus headset and it works flawlessly. I power it off, and the xrs4500 (within 3 or 4 seconds) detects it's offline and switches audio output.. I turn it back on and reconnects within 5 seconds max. Tried it at least a dozen times and it was flawless. Tried the same test with an Anker BT speaker and it works pretty much the same. And even an el-cheapo promo BT speaker from "Sapporo", works just as well. Like I mentioned, 2 cheap sets of in-ear BT headphones that I have will not auto reconnect. I need to go into the accessories screen and force it to repair. But those are the only ones, and I think it is the headphones crappy design, more than anything. I don't know if the 4000 is the same, but maybe try different devices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
