Line of sight only !!! August 30, 2010 Ebei 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
This device works with line of sigth only, want room to room..? Forget about it! My Motorola S9 headset which is only battery powered picks up a bluetooth signal from my iphone everywhere in my condo and plays chrystal clear but this thing gives up and starts chopping and hopping with just a thin drywall in the way. Sound quality is nice though but whats the point when you have to be in the same room...
Nice!! August 28, 2010 Highboy (St. John,IN) Works great with our Ipod touch. Nice to sit back and play and change songs. Would recommend to all who want to have a bluetooth device act as a remote for your AV system.
Misleading, not all what was expected August 21, 2010 Mike B 2 out of 3 found this review helpful
First of all, the picture is wrong. It shows the receiver connected to an audio cable and that's it. This lead me to believe that it must be battery powered, and therefore very portable. Unfortunately, it actually uses two cables, the second of which is attached to an AC to DC power supply. It has no battery and hence, does not work at all without being plugged into an electrical outlet. It is completely useless for taking into the car like I had planned. It's not even worth the effort to move it from my computer speakers to the sound system in the living room.
I believe there is also a very weak / badly designed power connection inside the receiver. Moving it at all while it is connected with your iPod almost always ends up breaking the Bluetooth connection.
On the positive side, it connects very easily and plays music with the same quality as if it was coming from iTunes on my computer. The audio lags every now and then when the iPod is doing memory intensive tasks, probably because it takes more resources to transmit the audio instead of just playing it directly from the device's speaker. This is an issue with the iPod, not the receiver, but still something that should be considered if you have a second generation device.
If you need to use this with multiple sound systems or somewhere without AC power, get something else.
Works like it should, what more can you ask! August 19, 2010 armyhippie Sound quality is AWESOME and has a decent enough range to work in a very large room with a clear path for the signal, or in a house it will work into the next room before cutting out. Also, it is A2DP compatible and sounds very nice with music playing from my Droid. No on or off buttons, it just turns on when you connect your bluetooth device.
Great sound quality.... but poor range. August 13, 2010 Gary J. Szakacs I recently purchased this item at a bargain price. It was very easy to pair with my SPRINT EVO and the sound quality was excellent. The reason I did not give it 5 stars was because the range was only about 8 to 10 feet without any obstructions.... not nearly the 33 feet which is advertised. I have other Bluetooth devices working with my EVO transmitter and they all have at least 2 to 3 times the range of this receiver.... so I can't say the transmitter function of the EVO is the cause of the short range. This receiver can only pick up very strong Bluetooth signals. So if you just want to avoid connecting your phone or MP3 player via a physical wire.... these are great. If you want to control the music from more than 8 feet away .... this is not the device for you.
