yes one. an eton. or you can just buy one of MANY bluetooth devices that plug into the headphone jack. they are cheap and you can use it on anything with a headphone out jack. that would be my choice. heres one at wm.com for example but ebay has ALOT to choose from as well as other sites. google is your friend.

Here are the radios off the top of my head that support bluetooth: Tecsun H-501x, Tecsun PL-398BT, and Eton Elite Field.
I own the Tecsun H-501x and the Bluetooth is great I will stream shows online from my phone to it's speakers. I'm not sure this is designed for headphones though. It seems more designed to stream music to the radio speakers and you have to switch the mode to Bluetooth out of whatever radio listening mode you were in. I suspect the other radios are designed this way too basically to turn in to a portable Bluetooth speaker.
I also agree with @groundwire . I have a similar device that I used to plug in to my line in if I wanted to stream a show through my Grundig Satellit 750 speaker. If I wanted to stream the radio content via Bluetooth to my headphones I would just plug it in to the headphone jack/line out and change it to send data.

Looking like nothing is available, except for the external transmitter mentioned. I suppose I can transmit to my phone, then audio out to my earbuds.
why to a phone then headphones? you can connect the headphones straight to the transmitter via bluetooth
I was just going to say that. Plug in the transmitter to the headphone or line out jack on the radio and then pair with earbuds and good to go.
Can't tolerate headphones with my big ears. I only have earbuds.
Earbuds that will pair with Bluetooth should work fine.
I can't stand earbuds but not because I don't like them I get ear infections absurdly easy so I have to use over the ear headphones.
