Is it possible to listen through bluetooth headphones?

Hi...i have just bought a decent pair of stereo bluetooth headphones but cant find a way of playing songs on it using itunes? Is it possible to do this?
Many Thanks
Rob

I think this is possible, try the following :-
1. Open System Preferences and select the 'Bluetooth' icon.
2. Click on the 'Devices' tab
3. Click on the Set Up New Device button
4. You will now get the Bluetooth Setup Assistant, select the device type 'Headset' and go through the assistant instructions to pair your headset to the computer.
5. Go back to System Preferences and select 'Sound'
6. In the 'Sound' preferences window, select the Output tab.
7. Hopefully you should see your Headset in the list of devices for sound output. If you do select it.
8. Any sounds your computer now makes, including iTunes music will be sent to the headset.

ITunes plays through bluetooth headphone

Every time I tried play music in iTunes through bluetooth headphone, I had to remove and reconnect the device in System Setting panel. After I pressed the play button, the music just would not play at all, or sometimes there was skipping noise. However, playing sound in web browser worked fine. Quit and restart iTunes seemed to be able to "solve" this issue.

It just dawned on me that you are asking a windows pc-spedific iTunes question. Bluetooth yes, but windows none-the-less. I think you would be better off going to the apple forum specifically for windows itunes problems:

RAM preview audio will not play through bluetooth headphones

I am using bluetooth headphones (Jaybird Freedom Sprint) to try and edit audio/video in after effects. However, when I go to Preferences>Audio Output Mapping and choose "Freedom Sprint" and click OK, close the preference window, and it will automatically go back to the default "Built in Output" when I open it back up. It will only play the sound through the Mac Pro tower I am using. Is there a way to get the headphone option output to stay permanently?? Is there a reason why it is not staying selected? Another thing I forgot to mention is that all other sounds work (like iTunes, volume up/down) through the headphones except for the audio RAM preview in After Effects. How can I disable the audio from playing through the tower? Very frustrating!
BTW - the only time headphones actually work is when they are plugged into the tower. These ones obviously can't be plugged in.
Thanks! (Screenshots provided for help)

Thanks! I definitely did try that first... (trying to find a solution with the headphones). You can't find any info about them online/their website. Regardless though, After Effects will not allow me to play the audio output through any other device except for the Mac Pro tower - even playing it through the LCD Cinema Display won't work.
Thanks for your reply

Toshiba TV/DVD combo 32SLV411U - listening through wireless headphones?

I hope I am posting this in the right place. I couldn't find a specific board just for tvs?
I have recently purchased a Toshiba TV/DVD combo 32SLV411U. I really like it but have an issue.
The best way to go about this I guess is to tell you what I hope to be able to do.
First, I will say I did call Toshiba tech support and they said it couldn't be done and advised I buy a sound bar.
I am not 100% convinced they fully understood or that a sound bar would solve the problem.
The tv model I have does not seem to have a separate headphone jack. I does obviously have the rear hookups for the rca type cables.
While watching a DVD (unhooked from cable box, in DVD mode) I want to be able to have the tv totally silent.
I live in an apartment complex and don't wish to disturb neighbors. I want the audio from the DVD to come through to the wireless headphones only. This does work when the TV is hooked up to the cable as the sound comes through the cable box.
It seems to me I should just be able to attach the rca audio cables to the back of the TV and listen as I have described above. But I can't get it to work no matter what configuration I have tried. I don't know if I just need to set things up differently or what. When I go to menu and look at the options, it doesn't seem to give me many choices in that area, unless I am looking in the wrong place.
Can this be done without me buying anything extra? If so, how do I set it up to do this correctly when watching a DVD?
If I do need to buy something else, how does a sound bar work and would it solve the problem?
Or should I look for a stand alone DVD player with audio hookups in back (that kinda defeats the purpose of
having a TV/DVD combo but might be a less expensive option.
I guess I should've taken a second look at the features before purchasing the TV combo. I just assumed that with the audio hookups in back it would work. I had no problems with the previous TV/DVD combo I owned, but it did have a headphone port. In the meantime, I am watching DVD's on my PC.
Any information or advice is truly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

> I hope I am posting this in the right place. I couldn't find a specific board just for tvs?
You could not find a right board because this is a Toshiba computer systems user to user forum.
However maybe I could help you:
> While watching a DVD (unhooked from cable box, in DVD mode) I want to be able to have the tv totally silent.
I live in an apartment complex and don't wish to disturb neighbors. I want the audio from the DVD to come through to the wireless headphones only. This does work when the TV is hooked up to the cable as the sound comes through the cable box.
In my case I connected my HiFi directly to the DVD player using RCA cables (red/white chinch).
Furthermore the DVD player is connected to the TV via HDMI.
I can disable the sound on TV and can listen to the sound coming from the HiFi speakers.
If you want to use headphones, then connect this to the HiFi and this should help you :)

Garageband crashes when I try to divert sound through bluetooth headphones

I have managed to make all the sound from my MacBook pro come through my Motorola SF850 headphones - it's very handy when it comes to skype etc.
Unfortunately, every time I choose this option with Garageband, the program crashes.
I have even tried diverting all the sound via the main preferences (diverting Garageband altogether) but the Garageband sound still insists on coming through the internal speakers.
Has anyone out there come across or solved this problem?

GB overrides the System's sound settings. So you have to pick the output in GB's prefs.
The only thing that comes to mind regarding your problem is trying the default fixes, i.e. trashing GB's prefs files and repairing permissions.

HT1430 iphone4 is stuck in headphone mode after using bluetooth headphones

Was listening to bluetooth headphones earlier. Turned them off. Got a phone call, answered and could not hear anything but the caller could hear me. Hit the volume button and it says headphones. Played music- no sound. Got another phone call, can hear the caller if I use the speaker. Turned the headphones on and off again, turned bluetooth off on phone, removed the headphones from my bluetooth devices list, closed all previously used apps and re-started phone. Same thing. Doesn't matter if I send or get a call, can't hear them. Anybody else have such a problem? What else can I try? The headphones are Plantronics Beats Go 2. Checked their website, and although there's a ton of issues with Plantronics bluetooth devices (Great!) my issue is unheard of.

I fixed it. Repeatedly plugging in headphones made it stop saying headphones but it still had no audio except on speaker phone. Started music app, turned volume all the way up and hit play (of course there was no sound) Stuck a clean dry toothpick in the headphone port and ran it around the inside of the port. Hit the volume button again and it said mute.!. but when I turned it up it worked fine! There was no dirt or moisture in the port, it's like it just got un-polorized or something weird like that. Seems lots of ppl are having this problem. Try it. Good luck

Is it possible to listen to music through bluetooth and be on a call with earbuds at the same time?

Is it possible to listen to music through bluetooth and be on a call with earbuds at the same time?
I would like to be able to talk on my iPhone with the EarPods while playing music via Bluetooth in my car. Are there any third party products that will allow this?

Sorry, iOS will pause the music playback when you are on the phone call. You can set iOS to use bluetooth for your audo playback on your music app, and select the earpods for the phone app, but as soon as you answer the phone call, iOS will pause the music playback. This is a core OS feature, so you will not find any certified iOS app that will do what you want.
As a side note, please use extra caution when using your ear pods while driving. It is not safe as you may not hear emergency vehicles, car horns, railroad crossing bells, etc., and it is illegal in many states (in the US).

Can you airplay video from iPhone to Apple TV but listen to the audio through iPhone headphones?

I know this is a very specific use, but my wife sleeps during the day while I'm at home. To keep the house quiet, is it possible to airplay a video on my iphone to the Apple TV, but listen to the audio through my headphones plugged into the iPhone?

No, you would need to connect the headphones to the audtio out on the TV or strero being used.

Listening Music through Bluetooth Hadset & Car AUX (8G-iPhone)

iPhone 8G - Listening to music through Bluetooth/Wireless headset and Car AUX is not working or compatible with the 8G iPhone. According to Apple Tech Specialist, Apple is working on upgrading their software for this function to work with the future generations of iPhone.
When I hooked my phone to Car AUX or Bluetooth Wireless Headset, the sounds came out from the phone speakers instead. However, hooking up the earpiece directly to the unit, it work fine.
Very Dissapointing that there's no choice using the unit for music listening, other than get stucked using the wired earpiece.

If you're plugging the Aux cable from your phone headphone socket to the car stereo, the phone should play through the car speakers once you switch the stereo to Aux. My car doesn't have bluetooth and I use an Aux cable to play music from the iPhone in the car.
The 3.0 update this summer will add A2DP bluetooth protocol.

Can I use Bluetooth headphones to listen to music on iPhone 4S?

As the topic says. I would like to know if I can listen to music through Bluetooth headphone

I have a new sound bar that I plug my phone into through the headphone jack. I also have a bluetooth speaker that I want to play through as well. Is there anyway I can play to both devices at once?

I have a speaker that I am connecting through my headphone jack but I have a bluetooth speaker in another room that I want to play through as well. Is there anyway I can play to both speakers at once? I saw another post on line that suggested going to the Audio MIDI setup and adding additional output devices. The problem is, I see that on my computer but nothing for my iphone. Can this work? I have also seen things for airplay and of course this is all making my mind fuzzy. Help!

Sure-glad to help you. You will not lose any data by changing synching to MacBook Pro from imac. You have set up Time Machine, right? that's how you'd do your backup, so I was told, and how I do my backup on my mac. You should be able to set a password for it. Save it. Your stuff should be saved there. So if you want to make your MacBook Pro your primary computer, I suppose, back up your stuff with Time machine, turn off Time machine on the iMac, turn it on on the new MacBook Pro, select the hard drive in your Time Capsule, enter your password, and do a backup from there. It might work, and it might take a while, but it should go. As for clogging the hard drive, I can't say. Depends how much stuff you have, and the hard drive's capacity. As for moving syncing from your iMac to your macbook pro, should be the same. Your phone uses iTunes to sync and so that data should be in the cloud. You can move your iTunes Library to your new Macbook pro
you should be able to sync your phone on your new MacBook Pro. Don't know if you can move the older backups yet-maybe try someone else, anyways,
This handy article from Apple explains how
How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support''
don't forget to de-authorize your iMac if you don't want to play purchased stuff there
and re-authorize your new macBook Pro
time machine is an application, and should be found in the Applications folder. it is built in to OS X, so there is nothing else to buy. double click on it, get it going, choose the Hard drive in your Time capsule/Airport as your backup Time Machine and go for it. You should see a circle with an arrow on the top right hand of your screen (the Desktop), next to the bluetooth icon, and just after the wifi and eject key (looks sorta like a clock face). This will do automatic backups of your stuff.

On my iPhone 4 the sound is all scratchy when listening through earbuds or dock. Its any sound, music, utube videos. If I play it through the iPhone speaker or from bluetooth it sounds fine. It just started about 3 weeks ago. Any suggestions?

In the last three weeks my iPhone 4 (OS 5.1.1) the sound became all scratchy when listening through the ear buds of if I dock it. The sound is fine listening to it from the iPhone speakers or in my car through bluetooth. Please remember its all sound. Whether its music, utube or a phone call. Any suggestions?

Mini Man, I'm glad to read you found a solution to your issue, but I don't know if your solution is going to be mine as well.
For starters, I do not have the new Apple TV - at least, not yet. I have ordered one, but it will not be delivered until some time next week (sneering glance at Steve & Co. for abandoning that platform rather than making it AirPlay compatible).
But that is not really my issue: my issue is that my two Airport Express units do NOT show up in the iPhone, though the DO show up on my iPad. This tells me they have been properly configured (both units have names, and are connected to the house network), so there must still be something missing from the equation.
And, judging from the response of a few others who have chimed in here, I think it's save to say that the experience is not altogether uncommon.
I'm surprised nobody has come back with a more direct solution to the common issue. I may have to call AppleCare someday this week...

Listen to music using bluetooth headphones

I am playing music in iTunes on my iMac during my work. I tried to pair the headphones with audio services without success but the computer did detect the headphones with the correct name. How can I use my JBL bluetooth headphones to listen to the music instead of the built-in speakers? Thanks!

You would need to run Bluetooth Preferences and set up a new device. What does the manufacturer of the head set have to say in their manual?

Music through headphone jack, calls through bluetooth

Can I connect the iPhone to my car through the headphone jack to play music through my car stero, while at the same time having a bluetooth headset connected to send/receive calls?

i've had my phone connected to my car stereo via the dock connector, and have been able to answer calls via bluetooth. so i would imagine it works the same way with the headphone jack.

Is it possible to listen through bluetooth headphones?
