Bluetooth Accessories for Zune: The Fact about Zune and Bluetooth
With all the features that Zune has, it left out one vital thing that would have made it even more popular. It left out the Bluetooth capability.
Sad as it may be, the Zune player does not support Bluetooth. So, if you are planning to send audio files from your Zune player to your mobile phone via Bluetooth, you will never be able to do so as Zune uses Wi-Fi to transfer files from one Zune player to another.
Basically, the Bluetooth technology has taken the world by storm. It provides faster wireless connections and it will also enable a device with Bluetooth to connect to the PC wirelessly. The great thing about Bluetooth is that it will be able to support wireless Bluetooth headsets which mean no more dangling wires.
With this technology, Zune would have been probably better off using Bluetooth instead of WiFi. Recent announcement from Microsoft have stated that they plan on incorporating Bluetooth capabilities on later generations of Zune and also on the Zune Phone. Although the plans are still not final, Microsoft is considering Bluetooth because of the demand of users.
So, up until now, Bluetooth accessories for Zune are still out of the question.
The best thing that you can do right now is to share music files from one Zune player to another using the WiFi feature that is incorporated in Zune. All in all, you will still be able to enjoy sharing files with your Zune even without Bluetooth capabilities.

How about just using Zune with wireless Bluetooth headphones? Is there a Bluetooth transmitter that you can insert into the headphone output?

Yes, there is a bluetooth transmitter that you can use to plug into the headphone output. I use a Jabra A120s which is AMAZING. so simple to pair and High quality sound. I have that paired with my Motorola S9 headphones which are the best sound quality bluetooth headphones I’ve tried. The only complaint about the S9s is that you have to hold the power button for like 12 seconds to get it into pairing mode which doesn’t seem too bad but the button is small and sometimes hard to push so if you move your finger a little you have to hold it again to turn it back off, then try the 12 second hold again.
I do think that it would be advantageous for zune to create a bluetooth device that would plug directly into the bottom of the zune, get power from the zune, and control the zune with remote headphone control buttons. I’d buy one. That would be Ultimate, other than including bluetooth built-in from the begining.
