You'll regret bluetooth. Use a cable.

No! Use a cable, unless the quality of the music being played is not significant.

You can probably do what you want with a headphone splitter of the type that can be used to feed 2 pairs of headphones from an MP3 player, etc. This will send the signal to both devices at once. Just mute the one you don't want to hear. :y
