How to smartly use your Bluetooth Peripherals with Amazon Fire TV Stick

So you have a new Amazon Fire TV Stick and some Bluetooth Peripherals like the Sony Ericsson MW600 BT Headset or say the JBL Flip 2 Speakers, then you may want to smartly want to integrate them into your Fire TV ecosystem by paring them.

One of the best feature with the Fire TV Stick as compared to few of its competitors is the availability of Bluetooth. You can pair a new Bluetooth device by going to Settings -> Controller and Bluetooth devices -> Other Bluetooth devices -> Add Bluetooth Device. 

I have paired 2 of my most used Bluetooth Peripherals and achieved the following -

1. JBL Flip 3 Bluetooth Speakers - Once paired you can play music through any of the popular Fire TV Audio / Video apps and listen to the Music even by turning off your TV. It is also useful if you have a large room and watching a video where you need to carefully listen to some dialogue. Pairing with the BT speaker enables you to bring the Audio closer to you.

2. Sony Ericsson MW600 Bluetooth Headset - By pairing with the MW600 Headset you get a private Home Theater

 experience in your Bed Room or Living Room. The Stereo Audio also gives an added immersive experience to your Movie watching experience. Even when you watch live Sports through the Headset, you feel as if you are inside the Stadium.

Pairing your Bluetooth devices also gives you access to the Playback Controls of the Audio / Video through the Bluetooth device. For eg, while watching a Movie through Prime Video using MW600, you can Play / Pause / Fast Forward / Rewind using the MW600 Controls itself without using the Voice Remote.

So you see there is more to enjoy with Fire TV Stick when paired with a Bluetooth peripheral. If you have explored more, please do share.....
