Question Are there any 3,5mm wireless adaptors for non-wireless headphones such as Astro A40?

[Michael Jacky]

So, I've got a pair of Astro A40, and I was thinking, are there any wireless adapters that you connect one piece to the headphones' 3,5mm jack and the other to, in my case, the MixAmp that comes with the A40s? Only thing I see online when searching for it are bluetooth adapters that you connect via USB or 3,5mm to your phone or PC to connect to bluetooth headphones. That's NOT what I want.
The A40s are not wireless, so that wouldn't be possible.
I want a 3,5mm transmitter from the MixAmp, to a 3,5mm receiver connected to the headphones' 3,5mm jack, so that I can walk to a different room with the headphones on without the connection breaking.
Do these kind of adapters exist? And if not, why?

Would've preferred Astro make their own thing, but then they wouldn't sell as many A50s 😛

Sorry, if this has already been asked and I was just not perceptive enough to see it.

Use one of these with a powerbank, and you're golden.

Yes, it is a bit on the bulky-side, but it works.

I used to have something like this, before going to the one I linked to, above:

but the smaller units have 2 problems
1.) The BT range sucks. You will not get 10m out of one of these.
2.) The battery life is abysmal.

Now I can see it.
Well, that wouldn't exactly work well with my headphones.
I'd prefer not to use bluetooth at all, and having that piece hanging from my headphones all the time would be very annoying...
Any other ideas.

I put it in my pocket, but, yeah, it is bulky.

Check the second link, in my original reply.

When I finally got sick and tired of carrying around a BT adapter and power bank in my pocket, I went with these:

I did, it's sort of along the lines what I want, but the 10m range makes me uninterested. I mean, I guess 10m isn't too bad, but I'd prefer a bit longer, like 15m, that way I can go to the other side of the apartment without disconnecting.

This, https://www.amazon.com/product/dp/B077YSSDP1/ , would be even better, but also 10m unfortunately.


There are headphones that use their own wireless technology, not bluetooth, that can keep the headphones connected through walls and quite a distance away.
I want that kind of technology, but for these headphones...
It feels like I might just have to get a pair of Steelseries Arctis 7 to have wireless...

...the 10m range makes me uninterested.

Well, Bluetooth is pretty-much limited to 10m. If you get better distance than that, with BT, you are fairly lucky. You are looking for something that isn't BT certified, then.

Or you can run a suitable length of USB cable to a location that is at the center of your apartment floor plan area, and hang a BT transceiver on the end of that...

I see, well, I'll probably just go for actual wireless headphones then... We'll see.

Thanks you for your help. Now that I know what I had in mind is not possible, I'll just have to think of other solutions.
