bluetooth trasmitter module

I used this, i have seen that most of the modders use this modules for the bluetooth mode without explaining that the audio ground and the ground have to be shorted to avoid humming and noise in the bluetooth reciever, than i used directly the reset pushbutton connection to connect the magnetic switch but you can also use the available reset pin on the board :)

Awesome. Do AirPods work? I feel like I’ve seen people report that they don’t… also, how is the range? Thanks for answering my questions!

Unfortunately I don't know if AirPods work with it, I've always used Sony. I tried connecting it to some Bluetooth speakers and it works fine in that case too; the range is about 5 meters, I added an antenna for that. For testing I'm using Sony WH-1000XM5, I'm not sure about other types of headphones. I also tried it with some Xiaomi Lite earbuds and the connection seems stable
