Can I connect BOTH bluetooth and regular headphones to my ipod at the same time?

Is it possible to connect BOTH a set of bluetooth headphones and regular headphones (via the headphone jack) at the same time so that 2 people can listen? Currently, when I connect the bluetooth headphones and listen to music and then plug a regular headphone into the jack, the music stops playing in the bluetooth headphones.

The problem with this is that music is directed to either the physical speaker (or headphone jack, which is effectively the same thing) or to Bluetooth. I don't think it's possible to use both at once, though it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if lllaass posted to prove me wrong.


The simple solution is a Y-connector for headphones, so two people can plug in at once. They're cheap and readily available; check your nearest discount store's cell phone section.
