I have this great bluetooth headset I use to work out with and I would love to be able to listen to the radio using these instead of
having to plug in a wired headset. Does anyone know if there is some kind of work around? I know it uses the wired headset as a
antenna so maybe there is a plug in antenna that will still let the music flow to the bluetooth headset?

Thanks

Your phone needs the amount of wire in the headphones for the antenna, as you said. Without that antenna, your fm reception would be bad or non existent. Bluetooth transmitters just don't have the antenna required to pick up fm radio frequencies. You're better finding streaming or mp3s.

I think jmshub is correct but there might be a way. You need to have the wired earbuds/headphones in to start the radio but I have heard you can then pull them out and depending on the specific strength of the radio signal the station will keep playing though the phones speaker. You could then turn on your Bluetooth headphones and see if it works. Might be worth a try.....

I was kind of looking for a antenna that I could plug in to pick up the station but then hear through my bluetooth headset.

Are you sure there's no way of plugging in regular headphones, but still having the audio output to the Bluetooth headset? In know Windows Phone doesn't have robust Bluetooth settings, but it still seems possible.

I know on the FM radio, you can pull up the settings and have the audio come out over your phone's speaker, even with the required headphones plugged in. Perhaps it's similar with Bluetooth?

Well I looked for some setting that would let me do that but I have not found one.

do you think something like this would work and let the audio go to my bluetooth headset?

Yes I use pandora but that is not the problem. The gym I go to has tvs mounted all over the place and you can listen to them by tuning in a
radio frequency. So I cant tune in the freq and listen to it on my bluetooth headset.

Get a Bluetooth transmitter (like the iKross Transmitter) and a 3.5mm audio extension cable. Plug the extension cable into your phone and the iKross Transmitter into the cable.
Then pair your Bluetooth headphones with the Transmitter.
The extension cable will provide the necessary antenna wire for Next Radio and the iKross Transmitter will allow you to "break the link" and use your favorite Bluetooth headphones.

You can get a transmitter on Amazon for about $20

If you have a standard AM/FM radio with a headphone jack, you can buy a bluetooth transmitter for as little as $15 on Amazon. Plug the transmitter into the radio and pair it with your headphones, then you can listen to radio on your bluetooth headphones. I'm doing it right now. Only downside is that the bluetooth transmitter runs on a rechargeable battery that you'll have to recharge every few days (depending on use). I've been looking for a radio with an internal bluetooth transmitter, but no luck so far.

I've tried to play fm radio through a bleutooth headset Plantronics series M90 (you can connect 2 phones on the same time). didnt work with samsung, blackberry, nokia or any other smartphone. when you plug in 3.5 mm jack. bleutooth goes off. Except with one phone MTT protection (Mobile Tout Terrain). Both phones are still connected through BT headset + 3.5mm jack is in and i can listen fm radio through my BT headset. 3.5 mm jack must stay plugged in off course. good luck PPL
