Home Cinema Outdoors & Bluetooth

[peterperkins]

I have a smallish garden and neighbours on all sides.
I'm thinking of having a walk in bring your own garden chair/picnic cinema evening.
I don't want to use speakers and have audio blaring.

Assume I have suitable kit with RCA phono or headphone output that can drive a bluetooth or some other audio transmitter.

How many nearby earbud users could it pair with?

Issue everyone who doesn't have any a pair of cheap bluetooth ear buds.

So something like these paired to one of these.

The question is how many earbuds can connect to one BT transmitter box?

Any other better ways of doing it?

How many people are coming?
If it is just a few
Why not get the cheapest FM radio's you can - ( with headphones ) say sub £5 - and a bluetooth to FM transmitter. eg. Jabra

Sounds like a total faff on to me. If you're worried about music, you better ask your guests to be silent as well!

Perhaps consider one of the silent disco set ups ... connect the AVR to the silent disco unit from the headphone socket and then all the headphones. I'm not sure if there are any silent disco type set-ups with in ear options, I've only seen on-ear but I haven't looked in a while so could be options out there.

Your challenge is going to be finding a Bluetooth transmitter that can handle concurrent connections. Most domestic ones I know of are a 1 to 1 pairing.

FM transmitter and the small fm earpieces would best / cheapest as has already been suggested.

Thanks for the ideas. I do realise it might not be practicable.
