My computer can communicate with my Android due to being on the same WiFi network. I have Bluetooth headphones and perhaps other Bluetooth devices (Bluetooth mouse, etc). I just bought a Bluetooth dongle for my computer. However, given that my Android device can communicate with my computer anyway via WiFi, I wonder if it's necessary?
If anything, if it's possible, will quality deteriorate?
My question is a bit more awesome than https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/1198/how-to-use-an-android-device-as-bluetooth-usb-dongle . This one asks if Computer -> USB -> Android phone -> Bluetooth is possible
I am asking if Computer -> WiFi -> Android phone -> Bluetooth is possible. In fact, I am interested in Computer -> Bluetooth -> Android phone -> Bluetooth too.
Why would I? Well, Windows 10 cannot connect to 5 Bluetooth headsets at once. Maybe sending the sound to my smartphone that can connect to 5 would solve that?
