Music via stereo headset

Execution steps

3. Run the application.
4. In the window that opens, click the 'minimize program' button.

After these steps, as in the first section of our article, all sounds will be transmitted to the earpiece speaker. The sound quality in most models may be poor, since initially in this type of headset the speaker is designed only for talking on the phone, and there is no need for too good quality.

Playing audio in the car

Perhaps for some people this is one of the most interesting topics, because here we will tell you how to play music through Bluetooth in a car with an audio system on Android. First, you need to decide if your car audio system has a pre-installed module Bluetooth with support for A2DP (streaming audio playback). If you are sure that all this is there, you can skip the following paragraphs and go directly to the steps for making the settings.

If you have an ordinary radio tape recorder and you want to listen to songs from your smartphone through it, you will need to purchase inexpensive additional equipment.

Since most even inexpensive radio tape recorders have an AUX input, we recommend using Bluetooth – receivers with an AUX output, because they can transmit high-quality sound. The principle of operation is that you connect the receiver with an ordinary 3.5 mm plug to the AUX socket on the radio and select this mode in it. You can get these receivers for about $ 5.

Here is one example of what this device looks like.

If your radio does not have such a connector, you can purchase a device that will broadcast the outgoing signal via radio frequency. But the sound quality will be the same as when listening to FM radio, that is, much worse. The principle of operation is that the device receives a signal from the phone and broadcasts it at a radio frequency that you specify. On the radio, you just need to find this frequency, and that's it. The price of such devices is about 2 times more expensive than the first option.
