A Bluetooth microphone (10) comprises a controller (MCU) and Bluetooth transceiver (12) arranged to: establish a Bluetooth paired connection with a device; establish an Advanced Audio Distribution Profile, A2DP, connection with the paired device to receive a sequence of packets from the paired device for decoding by the microphone; and establish a Serial Port Profile, SPP, connection with the paired device for simultaneously transmitting a sequence of packets based on a microphone transducer signal to the paired device as the received sequence of packets are being decoded for transmission to a set of headphones.
