So I have a headphone socket on my (stage piano)keyboard and I would like to use my in ear Bluetooth wireless earphones. I've looked but can't find an obvious solution. Is there something I can shove into the back of the keyboard which will then transmit to my earphones? Sadly it's set up in the front room currently and sometimes the missus doesn't want to hear me murdering yet another song.

Have a look on Amazon / ebay etc for "Bluetooth Transmitter" - there's quite a few of them that take a 3.5mm headphone output and will allow you to send to bluetooth headphones. You might need a 1/4" to 3.5mm adaptor, but it should work OK...

Loads of Bluetooth transmitters available and you’ll probably need to add a 3.5mm to 1/4” adaptor

Ah right not sure how I missed that. Probably by typing in 1/4"

Cheers

I’ve had good success with this one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Friencity-Bluetooth-Transmitter-Receiver-Wireless-Black/dp/B0793XGM8H/ref=mp_s_a_1_15?

one feature in particular too look out for is support for AptX Low Latency. Bluetooth can have 200ms+ delay on audio which is fine when just listening to music, but you will really notice the delay if playing live.

As above you need the AptX low latency and your earphones need to support the same.  Even then the latency might still be too much 🙁
