Bluetooth or Regular Headphones for multiple audio sources?

JonTheNiceGuy

Hi there.

I've got a multitude of devices I carry around with me; two phones (work and personal), an MP3 player, a Laptop and a handheld games console.

What I'm looking for is something that can either chain the audio from all these sources together into one pair of earphones (I'm even happy to build it myself, provided it's cost effective enough) or at the least, have two concurrent sources.

My main requirement is to be able to hear my work phone (Sony P910i) ringing while I'm listening to music on the MP3 player, or while I'm listening to audio from my HTC Wizard.

I did consider going to Maplins and buying 2 cheap mobile handsfree sets (to get the plugs), a small quantity of heatshrink covering and a stereo adaptor cable (to give me headphone in and headphone out) and just forget about the technical reasons why you shouldn't do it that way(!), but I guess I'm mostly looking at bluetooth headphones.

That said, I got told about an offer that was at think4.com last week, but when I went there, the site had run out of cheapish headphones.

I think the most I can think about spending on this at the moment is about £35-£40 (before I have to start justifying the value of my purchase!), but I'm not really having much luck finding what I'm after.

So ... I guess, what I'd like to know is:

What should I use to listen to my seperate audio sources, without wearing lots of headphones?

now i am thinking about it i saw a gagdet in maplins which had multiple inputs
with headphone and mic.

perhaps you should go down the local store and ask them. my local lot
are very good at discussing options out if they dont have something to match.

I'm looking for something no bigger (if possible) than a box of matches. I'll give them a shout, but I don't remember seeing anything like that the last time I looked for something like it.
