To connect over Bluetooth: https://support.bang-olufsen.com/hc/en-us/articles/360054860171-Beosound-Moment-Bluetooth-connectivity

I had the Moment for some time but cannot remember if it had a socket for wired connection. Think not.

The Moment BT is to connect a music (IN) source not a headphone (OUT)

Regarding the sound output from a Moment, the only ways are Powerlink (wired or wireless) and NL to another B&O NL product. How these outputs could be used to connect device supporting headphones requires some research

Take cover off the back and BT activates and is discoverable on your mobile device.

No headphone out on Moment.

You can steam music FROM your mobile device TO the Moment. Hope that helps.

Thanks. My bad. I thought Moment could connect headphones over BT.

So no headphones on a B&O? That seems incredible

Why is it importent for people to have headphone connection on a streaming product like moment.

if you will Play music on headphone you only streem your music on your headphone and us your phone or tablet.. deezer and tunein can be played. 
its not like in the old days When we want to Play a CD and LP from the music system, you cannot only take your phone and Play to your headphone. So thats time it makes sense to have a headphone out. But not on a streaming product.

Because some people live in flats, apartments, listen late at night or have small children - and they'd like to listen to their streaming music through headphones instead of Loudspeakers?

It's a fairly basic 'ask' in my opinion!

I know this isn’t what you were hoping for but you could get an RJ45 cable to RCA adapter from Steve at Sounds Heavenly and then connect a headphone amp.

A dedicated headphone amp would deliver a phenomenal sound to your headphones.

Use a switch and connect them to the headphone amp instead.

1. What is your current setup and how is it all connected?

2. Forgive me, why did you buy a Moment without checking what its capability and connections were first?

1) i have a RCA switch connected to the input in the moment. The switch has four ports turntable, CD, Chromecast and spare.

2) i have had the moment a while and my needs have changed. Recently got back into vinyl and so have a great setup...wanted to listen occasionally through headphones

Hi,

Whilst a wired connection from a Moment to headphones isn't a popular request, I certainly do get asked for this on occasion and I have a cable to make this possible:-

https://soundsheavenly.com/televisions/32-389-headphone-adapter-for-beoplay-v1-beovision-1112avant-rj45-powerlink-to-minijack.html#/9-length-18m

As Moment only has a single volume control, please note that you would need to turn off the power to any speakers that are connected if you only wish the headphones to be heard (ie. you can't separately adjust the headphone and speaker volumes without adding extra hardware).

Hope this helps.

Kind regards, Steve.

Steve.

This assumes the OP speakers are not wired to the Moment. We don’t know yet his setup on this front.

Hi mbolo01,

My assumption above was that there is at least one RJ45 Powerlink socket free on the Moment.  I did mention in my reply above that if speakers are connected, they would need to be powered off to allow listening on headphones only.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards, Steve.
