Compatible wireless headphones.

I’m looking to get a set of Bluetooth headphones. I can’t justify buying the new Sonos ones so my question is are all Bluetooth’ phones compatible with my Sonos system which consists of , Beam,Port,Mini Woofer and two One SL surround speakers?

Thanks in advance.

Sonos doesn’t transmit Bluetooth audio directly at all. Connect a suitable third party transmitter to your Port.

What make/model are your headphones? The FiiO is a bit pricey. There may be more economical transmitter options.

I haven’t settled on a make yet, I wanted to know that I could use any make of BT ‘phones with my system before splashing out on a set.

Once you’ve selected a headphone then look for a BT transmitter compatible with its audio codecs, ideally one that can accept a digital input.

Just a thought, if you have an old Sonos Connect, at least gen 2, you can then connect an optical connection to the transmitter. Enabled me to set up Ace as a room, and play anything, any way I want.

Apologies for the late reply. I’ve got everything sorted now, a great little BT transmitter and a set of Sony headphones. Everything works and sounds great.

Thanks all for your help in sorting out my problem!

What is the “+ Add Headphones” for in the Sonos app?

Have been trying to add my Powerbeats and other Bluetooth headphones, but it never finds them.

For bonding the Sonos Ace headphones. As the Sonos app itself isn’t a ‘player’ per se, you can’t add non Sonos headphones to it.

Ah thanks!

Could use a little more detail in the app to save users time (unless I missed it somewhere).
