AIRPODS / TECSUN 990X
« on: November 30, 2022, 1538 UTC »
Anyone know if there's a way to pair up Apple Airpods with the 990x so I can listen to the 990  with the Airpods thru the 990's Bluetooth , not the  hardwire  earphones.
Thanks

I do not have one, but IIRC, I think the 990x only supports being a wireless BT speaker and not a media source.

You can get a BT audio transmitter for like $10, but that means using the headphones jack and dealing with another device.

Thanks, Rob.   I was just making sure I wasn't missing something.
