I was told be a sales associate that this was what I needed to attach to a non-Bluetooth device (compact radio/cd/ipod dock) so that it could broadcast to a bluetooth home TV sound system. Nope. Does not work like that.

Doesn't work if you're trying to bluetooth a subwoofer to your receiver. You will need something that gives you an FM frequency. I purchased one from Amazon

Lousy Bluetooth Receiver

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
The audio quality is TERRIBLE very scratchy. The Receiver is not worth the price. Using on an Aux Input to the car Stereo. Plugging in directly sounds GREAT, so it has to be the receiver.
Would like a unit that is better quality.

On the package it said that it work for android phones, I did'nt realize I had 14 days to return it, because I did'nt try to use it right after I purchased it. I would recommend it for an iPhone user though.

I used this on the drive home. At first it sounded great, but the signal kept dropping out until it wouldn't even connect. Best Buy is a little out of the way, so I ended up eating the cost. Don't buy this.

The product had a very difficult time linking up to any Bluetooth device. When it finally linked on it drained the battery of the product so quickly it wasn't worth putting on for more than 30 minutes at a time.

Terrible range

I wanted to upgrade my current sound system with this product instead of spending more on a new unit. I basically wasted $30. The bluetooth range was less than 10 feet, and the battery charge was even worse.

The device does not live up to expectations. Even when right next to my iPod the reception can be intermittent. I liked the concept of portability and rechargability but I plan on returning it.

I'm sad to say, I returned this product the very nice day. It made a high pitch sound I could hear thru my speakers in my truck. I have yet to find one that works in my truck without having a poor sound.

This would be better if it turned off automatically. Unfortunately, it doesn't and it is easy to forget to turn the device off, so I have to recharge it each time I would like to use it.

Good for my use

This allowed me to stop using a cable from my phone to my AUX input on my car. It was very easy to pair. I had to return the 1st one. It would turn off after a few seconds of play. No problems so far with the replacement. I wish it was micro USB so I would not have to use an additional cable. The light does not stay on when charging or when charging is completed. I played Pandora without any issues for over an hour. I have a GS3 and the car has hands free. When a call came in it switched without any issues. When the call was over my music continued without any issues. Just what I wanted.
