Wireless headset with FM transmitter

1. A method, comprising:

receiving, by a first listening device, audio signals from a source audio device via a first wireless communications protocol, the audio signals including music audio signals and non-music audio signals;

receiving, by the first listening device, instructions to activate a transmitter associated with a second wireless communications protocol, where the second wireless communications protocol is different from the first wireless communications protocol;

outputting, by the first listening device, the received music audio signals, via the transmitter, to a second listening device while preventing an output of the non-music audio signals via the transmitter to the second listening device; and

outputting, by the first listening device and in conjunction with outputting the received music audio signals, the received non-music audio signals via a speaker of the first listening device.

2. The method of claim 1 , where the first wireless communications protocol comprises a short-range radio frequency wireless communications protocol.

3. The method of claim 2 , where the short-range radio frequency wireless communications protocol comprises a Bluetooth protocol.

4. The method of claim 1 , where the second wireless communications protocol comprises one of:

frequency modulation (FM) radio signal transmission, or

amplitude modulation (AM) radio signal transmission.

5. The method of claim 1 , where the receiving the instructions to activate the transmitter further comprises:

receiving configuration settings associated with the transmitter, the configuration settings designating a frequency on which to output the received music audio signals.

6. The method of claim 5 , where the receiving the configuration settings, further comprises:

receiving non-music audio handling instructions designating how the non-music audio signals, received from the source audio device, are to be handled, where the configuration settings, including the non-music audio handling instructions, and where the configuration settings are received by the first listening device via a user input device of the first listening device.

7. The method of claim 6 , where the non-music audio signals comprise telephone call audio.

8. The method of claim 5 , further comprising:

receiving an alert audio from the source audio device; and

outputting the alert audio via:

the transmitter, to the second listening device, while preventing output of the non-music audio signals not comprising the alert audio via the transmitter based on the received non-music audio handling instructions, and

the speaker of the first listening device.

9. The method of claim 1 , where the receiving the instructions to activate the transmitter, further comprises:

muting the transmitter for a duration of non-music reception from the source audio device.

10. The method of claim 8 , where the outputting the alert audio via the transmitter further comprises:

activating a speakerphone feature of the first listening device.

11. A wireless listening device, comprising:

a short-range wireless transceiver to receive audio from a source audio device via a first wireless communications protocol, the audio including music audio and non-music audio;

a transmitter to output the received music audio via a second wireless communications protocol, different from the first wireless communications protocol, while preventing an output of the non-music audio via the transmitter;

a speaker to output the received non-music audio concurrently with the output of the received music audio by the transmitter; and

a processor to receive configuration instructions and activate the transmitter in response to the configuration instructions.

12. The wireless listening device of claim 11 , where the second wireless communications protocol comprises frequency modulation (FM) broadcasting.

13. The wireless listening device of claim 11 , further comprising:

an input device for receiving the configuration instructions.

14. The wireless listening device of claim 11 , where the configuration instructions include:

transmitter activation instructions to activate the transmitter, and

a broadcast frequency on which the transmitter, activated based on the transmitter activation instructions, outputs the received music audio.

15. The wireless listening device of claim 11 , where the configuration instructions include non-music audio handling instructions.

16. The wireless listening device of claim 11 , where the short-range wireless transceiver comprises:

a Bluetooth transceiver.

17. A device, comprising:

means for receiving audio signals from a source audio device via a Bluetooth connection, where the audio signals comprise music audio signals and non-music audio signals;

means for receiving non-music audio handling instructions;

means for transmitting the music audio signals, received from the source audio device, via a frequency modulation (FM) frequency signal while selectively preventing, based on the received non-music handling instructions, a transmission of non-music audio signals via the FM frequency signal; and

means for outputting, while transmitting the music audio signals, the non-music audio signals, received from the source audio device, based on the received non-music handling instructions.

18. The device of claim 17 , where the non-music audio handling instructions indicate that non-music audio is not to be transmitted via the FM frequency signal.

19. The device of claim 18 , further comprising:

means for muting the music audio signals while continuing to transmit the music audio signals via the FM frequency signal.

20. The device of claim 18 , further comprising:

means for activating a speakerphone feature based on the non-music audio handling instructions; and

where the means for outputting the non-music audio signals outputs the non-music audio signals via a speaker of the device.
