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.

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. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)

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. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

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. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
