Wireless Bluetooth switch needed

[Webboman]

Hi All,

 

I'm looking for some advice for a bluetooth audio splitter/router.

 

Due to Covid I'm now working from home and have multiple meeting a day via Microsoft Teams. I have a set of Sony WH-CH510 wireless Bluetooth headphone that I use on my calls paired via Bluetooth to my work laptop. What I want to know, is their a BT switch/router available that I can wirelessly pair all my other devices (note 10+, pc, firestick) and not have to individually pair the head set each time?

 

So much like a wireless hub, the devices are picked up in to the BT receiver and I can pair my headset and listen. Using the switch to select which channel I need at the time should I get a call on Teams (work pc) midway through listening to something on Spotify (phone)?

 

I can see there are wired options available but nothing appears clear that they can do it wireless.

 

Any help would be great

Maybe this is what you want (didn't read the full article): https://www.engadget.com/2016-01-05-cassia-hub-bluetooth-router.html

I don't think you can solve this the way you want to. You can set Teams to prefer a specific device, but you can't have a device pair with two hosts unless the device explicitly has that feature. The best option for Teams is to just use a wired USB headset, and the second best option is a headset that has two switches in a base station (eg wired and wireless, or wired and bluetooth) The office I do work at has a bunch of DECT based Polycom Savi devices and they have three inputs one for a phone handset, one for USB to the PC and one for bluetooth (intended for mobiles.) 

 

Otherwise you're going to need to find a "base station" that you can pair the Sony headset to and have two non-BT outputs (eg TRRS jacks, but those are only standard to laptops, or a pair of TRS jacks for mic and headset)

Yeah I thought as much. 

 

Shame really as it would be super useful to be able to switch over from one feed to another with a small dock in front of my screens to the input I need at that moment.
