I needed to type this all out. It's just rambling nonsense that I've tried to workout tonight.

Spoiler:

I'm still dicking around and trying to find the best setup.

I went bluetooth, but then I read that wired gives the best sound so I ran a long output to my home theater. It sounds really, really good. But the issue is it's not often where I can dedicate an input on my receiver to just music. Really it's if I'm just watching sports and don't want to listen to our terrible announcers.

I have a Sonos speaker just sitting here begging to be used, but it's a first gen without bluetooth.

I tried out an Amazon Echo tonight from my bedroom but that's not going to cut it. Sounds like ****.

I spent at least an hour researching the best sounding bluetooth speakers, but I'd want stereo sound, and I have a damn nice home theater setup.

Neither my Jabra Elites or my Airpod Pros would output sound, despite both seeming to connect. Completely baffling. Something has to be going wrong here. But I'm glad it did because it lead me to better solutions.

I've got a pair of WMX's at work and I figure Sony headphones have to work with a Sony turntable, so I'm going to try that out tomorrow. It might not be such a bad thing. Those are great headphones, and I know I'll be able to use the Airpods with my work computer.

Turntable: WMXs and wired connection to the receiver when guests are over or I'm watching sports
PS5/Xbox/Devices: Denon home theater
Bathroom: Sonos
Bedroom: a couple Echos
Kitchen: Google Nest mini
Work computer: AirPods Pro
Home laptop: Bluetooth speakers
iPad/working out: Jabras

I have too much ****.

Definitely need solid speakers for the Bluetooth to sound okay. How did the headphones go?
