Hey,

I have two pairs of the HP BT headphones and I am using them with the iPAQ hx4700. I would like to use both pair at one time, so a friend and I could both listen to music or watch a movie at the same time. The only problem is that the existing BT driver from HP only supports one device at a time, so when I try to connect the second pair it just shuts down the first pair. If someone with driver skills is interested, I would LOVE if you could create a driver to allow for at least 2 BT audio devices to be used at one time. That would be fan-freakin'-tastic!!!

Actually, I think you might be in for a little disappointment. I am under the understanding that BT will only connect via one device at a time. This was one reason it didn't take off as fast as it could have. There were other reasons, too, but I remember this being one of them.

You aren't the first person to ask about something like this. Maybe things might have changed in BT drivers? Don't know.

You know.. you could just suck it up and get a converter that will allow you to plug in two headphones at a time.. Or use a headset and make your friend the chump and make him use the headphones...

yeah but I spent 100$ on these headphones and was lucky enough to sneak an extra pair from HP, so I am not in the mood to buy two pair of tethered headphones. I already have the adapter. Now,if someone wants to give me one of those $300 Bose noise-cancelling headphones, I'd trade you my BT headphones, both pair.

I don't have an answer to your problem, and know nothing about creating drivers. Although I know that you can only connect(!) to one device. BT goes 1<->1. BUT... Something just hit me. Since many devices can "discover" an active bluetooth device at the same time, the active device must "broadcast" some kind of signal. Then, wouldn't it be possible for the active device just to "broadcast", let us say audio, and for other devices just to "discover" the stream. Without being connected/paired. When searching for a device, that's what's happening right? Since it can broadcast a "visibility" signal, you should be able to broadcast anything. Then, the limitation is in the BT headphones, not being able to catch the stream without being connected/paired.
Instead of going: 1<->1
you go 1->many with the "broadcast" ability??
Of course, this could only be done one way, like with audio->headphones, since a device can't recieve BT streams from many.
Is this an idea, or am I just dreaming??

Anyone more into BT, You tell me...
