 I use this with my Ipod Touch G3 March 6, 2010
James P. Prohs (Moline, Il)
It does exactly what it says it will. I like it and would buy it again.
 Buy it for wireless convenience, don't buy it if you're an audiophile. March 3, 2010

- I use it from about 10 feet away, mostly with an iPhone 3Gs, but occasionally also from laptops. For the most part it works without hiccups and pitch problems (see below).
- The device remembers up to 8 Bluetooth pairings (i.e. it automatically reconnects with those), but can only be connected to one device (audio source) at a time (which is a typical restriction for Bluetooth receivers).
- As others have noted, Bluetooth audio is not designed to satisfy the audiophile. However, for spoken-word content and low-to-mid-quality music sources (such as podcasts and the non-subscription Pandora streams) it is perfectly adequate.
- Despite its small size, it was designed to be stationary, so it requires a small AC adapter (included) to operate (which, annoyingly, is not stated anywhere). That said, it should be possibly to use this in a car as well (which another reviewer has indicated he's already doing), using a - obviously not included - universal AC/DC car adapter that outputs 5 volts and has a matching tip.
As for connection problems (dropouts):
It is worth pointing out that sometimes the Bluetooth *sender* may be the culprit.
From a 10-foot distance, I never had dropouts with the iPhone 3Gs, and never with *one* of my laptops, but the *other* laptop can be made to cause dropouts by just covering the area in front of the keyboard with an arm - not a big deal if you're just sitting back and listening, but likely a nuisance if you work on your laptop at the same time.
Great product for Ipod Touch 3g March 3, 2010

This product works perfectly as advertised. It works flawlessly with my iPod Touch 3g. The sound quality is better than most other bluetooth streaming devices I've used. The range is good for about 20 feet with a clear line of sight, after that walls and people can break the signal. I've had no problems with it losing connection and it makes streaming Pandora a dream, now when I hear a song I don't like I just reach in my pocket and change songs without having to leave whatever I'm doing, walk across the house and hit the button because it's plugged in. If you are looking for a product like this, go ahead and get this one, you won't be disappointed.
Very good March 3, 2010

This works great! Although the range is a bit shorter than comparable units, I would say about 10-15 feet in free space. I have the Sony unit which costs about $50 but its not as compact as this unit. I have this mounted in my glove box of my Toyota so it's nice having a smaller unit--this unit is about half the size (AC adapter+unit). Another benefit of this unit over the Sony is that the Belkin powers on as soon as power is applied, unlike the Sony which has to be powered on every time.
As far as audio quality questions, I had this streaming to my Bose SoundDock 10 (with BT adapter) and it sounded OK to me. If you wanted audiophile-quality sound, you wouldn't be streaming your music via BT anyway.
 Requires AC Power March 1, 2010

Before I purchased this, I looked everywhere to see if this required power, whether AC or DC. I wanted to use this in my car as well as the house. I looked in the Amazon description and on Belkins website. Also, from the pictures it looks like there's only the audio cable running to it. Well, I received this today and it does require AC power! Sent it right back (now out return shipping).
