Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have not been able to pair with any of my headsets from Skull Candy, to Bose, to Sony , to Beats. The head sets boot up, the transmitter picks up the signal and then shuts down. I am pushing the plus sign for 7 seconds and the first channel blue tooth to no avail. Just trying to pair for private listening to my Sony 60" LED HDTV.

Using this Bluetooth transmitter is like watching a movie dubbed over in a foreign language. It isn't just a little off, it's 3-4 words off! Save your money, this transmitter is a waste.

I would give 0 stars if I could. This is the worst purchase I have ever made from Best Buy. It was a hassle to get it to work and finally after 1 month, it stopped working. Right after the return period is over. And this cheap piece of crap cost about $60. What a waste of my money.

I purchased this to stream break music in venues I perform at hoping it would work better than the cheaper ones. I was severely disappointed, it cuts in and out anything over 20 feet or anytime there isn’t a direct path to the source. The $10 ones do better.

Had it for 2 weeks when it started emitting a buzz like interference on the left headphone only- tried it with different headphones with the same result. Poor quality for the money spent.

Pain to hook up I wouldnt recommend, too much work and many wires

Just tried my second one in 2 weeks. Horrible connnection issues. Taking it back this week also. Trying to connect to a Polk sound bar system. Hit and Miss. tired of trying to figure it out. I’ll find another product.

wish i could give less than one star--- it pairs 2 headsets but will not stay connected- have to reset headphones after 3-4 minutes. one headphone will stay connected longer look for something else- ill be returning tomorrow

I am elated to know that there is a device that gives dual functioning in transmitting and receiving Bluetooth signals! I was able to successfully connect 2 headphones for my friend and I to enjoy movies. I am super excited to employ this feature during Wimbledon, as I am a huge tennis fan, I sometimes miss day matches and I like to record and watch later, so this will be an added plus to employ. Sound came in crisp and clear as I did not experience any audio delays while watching movies. Additionally, I have an older PC that does not have Bluetooth capabilities; therefore, I am going to use this device for it. The package has all the needed items to get you started and the overall setup is user-friendly. The concept is easy as all one has to do is pair his or her desired device and from there connect Aluratek to the desired audio source. In my case, this has been a great device as it helps with my older as well as newer devices.

I bought these so we could use our Bose headphones with our TV since it didn’t have Bluetooth. Unfortunately we could not figure out how to set it up. I waited too long to take it back, so it was a waste of $50.

Aluratek's Universal Bluetooth Optical Audio Receiver and Transmitter is an all-in-one solution that enables the creation of wireless audio for your home entertainment system and transmits Bluetooth to your headphones and speakers. With Bluetooth 5, this device allows audio streaming up to 100 feet. The device supports AUX, RCA and Optical connections and is designed with both receiving and transmitting modes. It can also stream to two headphones at the same time! The dual modes of receiving and transmitting can be achieved with the flip of a switch. Rx (Receiving) is used to stream music wirelessly from Bluetooth enabled devices, and Tx (Transmitting) can be used to Bluetooth enable any audio output device that is not set up with Bluetooth. The transmitter can also act as a pass through for connections only. It supports AUX (3.5mm), RCA or Optical (SPDIF) connectivity. The transmitter paired easily with my headphones and with my soundbar. It incorporates the latest technology of Bluetooth 5 which allows for faster and consistent streaming. Bluetooth 5 is also reverse compatible with Bluetooth v4.0, v3.0, and v2.1. Bluetooth 5 works with all tablets, audio devices and smartphones that can transmit the Bluetooth stereo (A2DP) protocol. Included in the package was everything I needed to use the transmitter. The Universal Bluetooth Audio Receiver and Transmitter was packaged with a USB Power Cable, a 3.5 mm Cable, RCA-Y Cable, digital Optical Cable and a quick start guide. My headphones paired instantly and now offers HD wireless audio from my TV! The transmitter carries a 1-year warranty.

Attempted to get the unit to work with 3 different sets of earbuds (one was a Bose). The unit would connect but you never could hear anything.

Setup was to difficult. Too much work. Didn't like this product. Returned to store.

This item was not put in my bag and I was still charged for it it was an old lady that checked me out and when I got home this item wasn't there.

The non-existent instructions, in the package or on-line, are of absolutely no help! It is touted as a plug-and-play hookup but it isn't.

This bluetooth doesn't work. I hate this thing tried and tried to get it to work. Piece of Chinese junk

I would give it all 5 stars but when your purchase this item you have to have a certain type of headphones. I didn’t know that before I purchased it so had to rerun it.

The device didn't work with any of our devices. After hours of trying to get it to work we had to take back.

This would never broadcast a Bluetooth connection. Returned the product.

Returned this item. We wanted to be able to hook up 2 pairs of beats headphones to our Samsung TV, and this item would not do that.
