Use Wired and Bluetooth Headphones at the Same Time on PC
0This video explains how to use both wired and Bluetooth headphones at the same time on a Windows PC. This method is useful for users who want to share audio output between two sets of headphones or use different audio devices simultaneously—for instance, when recording a tutorial, sharing audio with someone nearby, or managing separate audio channels for different applications.
The tutorial begins by showing how to connect your Bluetooth headphones via the system tray on the bottom-right corner of the screen. Once your Bluetooth device is paired and connected, you proceed to the main configuration using Windows sound settings.
You’ll then navigate to the Windows Settings menu by typing "Settings" into the search bar. Once inside, go to the 'Sound' section, where you can select your default output device—either your wired or Bluetooth headphones. The video suggests selecting "Realtek Audio" or the specific audio driver you're using.
From there, you’re guided to open 'More Sound Settings' at the bottom of the Sound window. This opens the legacy sound control panel where more advanced configuration is done. Here, the key step is enabling audio output to both devices by using the "Listen to this device" feature. You do this by right-clicking the secondary device (typically your wired headphones), choosing 'Properties,' then checking 'Listen to this device' under the Listen tab. This routes the audio output from one device to another, effectively mirroring the sound.
Keep in mind that this method works best when there’s minimal delay between the two devices. Bluetooth headphones may have slight latency, so perfect synchronization isn't guaranteed unless you're using low-latency Bluetooth codecs or devices optimized for simultaneous playback.
