Handheld Scanner with BlueTooth audio out?
Posted by galanjr on Thursday, April 13, 2023 9:37 AM

Is there such a thing as a handheld scanner with Bluetooth audio output for earbuds?  I need to invest in a new one and thought something to use with my AirPods would be great.  I'm not finding any handhelds with bluetooth.

I don't know about a scanner with BlueTooth output but, there are audio jack out to BlueThooth transmitter available.  Amazon has a number listed. This would require that scanner had an external audio out jack.  T.O.M.

I use a bluetooth transmitter on board the airplane. There is a slight delay.

Most of them have an internal battery that last a few flights.

I think you might be interested in something like this:
https://www.amazon.com/GMCELL-Bluetooth-Transmitter-Streaming-Headphones/dp/B08XNP171S/ref=sr_1_4?crid=3D8HG3WG68X14&keywords=3mm+audio+to+bluetooth&qid=1682338558&sprefix=3mm+audio+to+bluetoot%2Caps%2C205&sr=8-4

That should just plug into the audio jack and transmit bluetooth.
