How to increase the volume when connecting your midi controller to iPad?

Could you pls help me with this question?

I connected my midi keyboard to iPad via the lightning camera connector, to use the One Man Band ios.

To increase the volume and the sound quality, of course, I can connect the iPad to a portable bluetooth speaker.

The tricky thing is:

After connecting the iPad to the bluetooth speaker, I would like to hear the (louder) sound via my headphones during the night, when everyone sleeps.

But when I plugged in my headphones to the bluetooth speaker, I heard no sound.

So what should I do?

Thank you

    No headphone jack? purchase Apple AirPods TM :(

    I suspect the plug on your Bluetooth speaker is a line in, not a headphone jack.

    Which iPad do you have? A friend got a new Pro and had to buy the weird breakout connector that goes usb C plug to headphone jack and usb C jack.

    Or put the money toward a class compliant audio interface with midi. Some of them have USB host for plugging in USB midi controllers to the interface, and powering them.

    Curious to know, what set up/apps you use?

    I tried using this app live. FOund it unreliable

    every once in a while , something would responding or stop working

    When using live i used a pedal

    as suggested above use purchase Apple AirPods ( very lesslatency)

    Thank you everyone for suggesting the Apple AirPods. I don't have this. But I will try the wireless headphones connected by Bluetooth, to see how it goes.

    To hisdudeness:

    Regarding the One Man Band ios app, I have tested the app via:

    1. The midi keyboad, with no built-in sound. As advised by the app author, I bought the Roland Canvas for ios to have the sounds.

    In this method, I found that the app works, although admittedly sometimes the sounds do not come out on time.

    1. The digital piano which has the built-in sounds.

    This way, everything is really really good. Maybe because the piano already has its built-in sounds, there is no latency or lag.
