@forth This idea of speaking between two pieces of the same headset connected to the same phone, though, is a new idea for me, and I have not done much to research it. The few searches I've done have come up negative.

@forth Yeah, I've been trying to find some kind of app to talk between phones too. The closest thing I've found, I think, is Meshenger https://github.com/meshenger-app/meshenger-android, but it seems to me that it still needs wi-fi (but not internet). Though I haven't gotten around to testing it.

@forth Hey, cool. That's interesting! But it seems to me that a separate device should be unnecessary now that most people have these super computers with all kinds of network features built in

But does that dongle trick you mention work? I'd love to see/read some more about that.

I don't even know if this would be technically possible, but I mean, there has to be several situations where a way to communicate over a short distance, "offline" would be extremely practical.

I've thought about this for people riding bicycles together too, but then it would be better if you could add more than two people, and have a bit further reach than BT, perhaps? Or at least a BT mesh.

Is there any app that lets you use the separate BT earpieces (like AirPods etc) to communicate directly from one to the other?

You connect them to one phone, as normal, but then two people have each one in one ear and can talk to each other?

I was with a friend to a climbing hall, and even though it was a "quiet" time, it was still hard to talk when one person is far up on the wall and the other was securing you on the floor. Thought this could be a perfect solution.
