Connecting Wireless Headphones to Sonos

Is there a way to connect wireless headphones to a Sonos system? I have a Sonos Port, a number of Sonos speakers, only one of which has Bluetooth capability (Sonos Move).

I recently purchased a Bluetooth transmitter (Avantree Oasis Plus) hoping i could connect it to the Sonos Port, pair my headphones to the transmitter, effectively turning my headphones into speakers.

Thanks

The only Sonos device with an analog output is the Sonos Port, you would want to connect the Bluetooth transmitter to that analog out, and send the signal to your headphones.

Or the Port’s coax digital out. Better BT transmitters have digital input. A good one is the FiiO BTA30 Pro.

A really old Sonos Play 5 has a headphone jack but it is S1 only. Otherwise the other suggestions.

Thank you everyone for your helpful suggestions!

I am going to order a Sonos Port and try to connect to the Bluetooth headphones using a Bluetooth transmitter connected to the Sonos Port.

I will give you an update after I give this a try.

Thank you again!

I now have the Sonos Port and a FiiO BTA30 Pro with the two connected with a digital coaxial cable. I have the Port and my Arc in a Group. The Sennhiser headphones connect via Bluetooth to the FiiO BTA30 Pro but I do not get any sound through the headphones. Could someone please tell me the proper way to set this up or how the settings need to be configured?

PORT’s Line-In is not automatically passed through to Line-Out. You must select an input as you would for any other player.

I don’t see any options for Line In (see photo). I am trying to use the Arc as my input source.

The line in on the image you’re showing is not connected to anything, hence you can’t direct it anywhere.

If you’re trying to use the HDMI-ARC as a line in, you’d need to group the Arc as your main coordinator, and all grouped rooms would be playing the input coming in from the ARC signal to the Arc.

I’m not sure what you’re really trying to do here, the Port has essentially nothing whatsoever to do with the Digital line in on an Arc.

Arc is in surround system with sub and two Era 300. I then grouped this surround with Sonos Port which has digital coax going to Bluetooth transmitter which I am trying to connect to headphones. I’ trying to send Arc sound to headphones

The digital coax connects the Bluetooth transmitter to the Port, not the Arc
