@soundwave Well, connecting 2+ devices on the speaker side is one thing, there are plenty of such gadgets on Amazon. That little broadcast thingy you have at home: is it connected to your TV via Bluetooth, or by a cable?

What I am looking for is a gadget which can connect your two pairs of headphones AND the TV/phone/PC as the audio source on the other side, all by Bluetooth.

## Bluetooth hub/re-broadcaster device - question/request for advice

I would like to get a device which would act as a Bluetooth hub. I want to connect multiple audio sources to it (phone, tablet, laptop) and also multiple speakers (a bunch of low cost Bluetooth speakers at home). I want the thing to handle just one stream at a time. So ideally, whatever is played on the source side (just a "merge" of all the source signals) should be broadcasted to all the speakers. The motivation is to stop playing a discotheque with my little soundbars/speakers and audio sources. It's a bit annoying, so I guess we can do better...

The thing is, I cannot find any device like that. Apparently Bluetooth transceivers act exclusively either in RX xor TX mode, but never simultaneously. I do not care for reasons why that is the case (protocol, single chip, whatever), I would like to get pointers to technology which could do this for me.

**Does such a thing even exist? And if yes, how's it called?**

Thanks for any constructive advice.

By far the largest group are actually Ukrainians, Slovaks come only after that and then finally come Vietnamese. It's been like this since almost 20 years or so.

None of that is surprising to me, but the Mongolians...

@onlmaps I truly did not expect a response 🙂 .

Even though we can't let the creator of this know, let me use this opportunity to thank you for all the fun I am getting from studying the maps you are posting. 👍

@onlmaps This is bot account, so screaming into this hole is probably useless. Anyhow, that blue territory with a question mark asking where does "polievka/polevka/poliwka" come from etymologically: it comes from "polievat/liat" == "to pour" (onto) something. I.e., "polievka" = "something to pour/something to pour onto/over something else" Probably a translated common root with the Hungarian "liquid".

@ktemkin I seriously think there is a big market opportunity in technology for fitting/finding the right size/shape/... for the bra market. Internet is full of alchemy-loaded magic tutorials on how to do this, stores try to convince people that their personnel can do it, but the only thing to say there is that most are wrong and/or don't work. Unless you are a very very standard size. At the moment the body requirements are just slightly out of what you call "easy to stock" sizes, it's a huge pain. Literally. As a result many ladies are walking around in pain, just because they gave up on the thing and accept something what is actually maybe even harming them.

@pony I think the problem with the "top" pen is that it's only an insider thing. Nobody else has a clue about the price of those things. They look like all the other cheaper ones.

And when we speak about functionally "good" models, the ones which are IMO very good are sometimes dirty cheap (like €5-€10).

@piggo Thanks. I learned something there...

@pony On the second thought, Jesus being killed by the [Logo turtle](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logo_(programming_language)) sounds a tad bit worse fate that this.

@pony poor jesus there 😄
