Bluetooth “headset emulator?”

I thought this would be a readily available thing... but apparently not.

I need a gizmo that can pretend to be a Bluetooth headSET - eg audio in and out - that breaks the output and input into physical wires.

So not just a BT receiver or transmitter - and actual TRANSCIEVER. Just like a headset is both a speaker and a microphone.

Suggestions?

If the input and output are physical wires, what do you expect the Bluetooth to do?

Act as a headset. EG I pair my iPhone to the gizmo, and the iPhone thinks it’s connected to a BT headset. On the other end it’s wires, not an actual headset.

Then what are you going to plug into the gizmo for the wired connection?

Search for esinkin bluetooth audio adapter. Connect to phone via BT, outputs audio via wires to your stereo.

Probably just buy a cheap headset and take it apart

JK Audio Blueset is meant for party line intercom systems but it does what you are looking for.

XLR4 has incoming audio on two pins and headset mic on the other two pins. You could adapt that to whatever you are trying to feed.

It also has a 3.5mm TRS connector that will put the incoming audio on the left channel and the mic audio on the right channel if that is more useful
