Good price, but the signal coverage range is very week and unstable.

Does NOT Pair With Bluetooth Headphones

As noted on Aluratek's website, this transmitter does NOT pair with bluetooth headphones (in particular Skull Candy Hesh 2 Wireless). Here's the link to their Knowledge Base article that I found after I purchased:

My original plan was to connect my headphones to my aging 2008 plasma TV so that I can watch shows in my home at night with the rest of the family sleeping. I'll probably bring this back and try to find something else.

I like the size of the receiver, but it is hard to pair the Bluetooth to with the iPhone 7. it seems very hit or miss.

Unit paired quickly to my S7 and transfers music well to home stereo. Finding the range is very limited and anything in the path between unit and phone disrupts transfer. Pairing stopped today with all devices. Simple fix, from another website, will see if the problem happens again. Great price, but the connecting RCA cable is too short. Think I need something with better range. If using soley in your car, probably not a bad investment

Works as advertised...I used to connect bluetooth to my Logictech wireless speaker.
4 stars due to flimsy audio connector cable, and poor instruction manual

Not a good experience

I bought this device last night at my local Best Buy in an attempt to replace the Aux-In cable on my 2007 Toyota Prius (with JBL Audio and Nav) since the '07 Prius did not have Bluetooth audio streaming available via its OEM receiver. I found the device to be easy to set up and pair to. However, when I started streaming audio I immediately noticed two very big drawbacks to this device:
1) Audio skips at random intervals during music playback.
2) The overall audio quality is significantly lower compared to what I have heard via other Bluetooth-enabled car stereo receivers and other portable Bluetooth streaming receivers.
In short: This is a surprisingly tiny device that falls disappointingly short in its performance.

Good for some applications

I was going to use this to make a pair of hearing protection headphones wireless. While it worked, you had to turn your phones audio all the way up and it still was very quiet. Also, if your have to turn your volume up more than 75% it will distort bad. In an application where the signal is amplified this device may be good but it just does not have enough output to power headphones.

I had trouble connecting my device, despite it being so simple. I called customer service and they were amazing and immediately helped me out in solving the issue. The product itself is fantastic and I am happy with it so far.

Had my USB charger stolen from my car. Called customer service and they were great. They sent me a replacement since I couldn't use the Bluetooth without the charger. Thanks guys!!

I like the item, but I think they could have made it better to use. Because of how it is made I rarely use it. Kinda expensive for what purpose it serves.

Absolute trash

I bought this adapter so I could listen to music in my car when I’m commuting. What a waste of money. It constantly cuts out, no matter where I am. It wouldn’t be as annoying if it just happened once in a while and in the same locations, but sadly that’s not the case. I could be in town, out in the country, or on a highway; there’s no rhyme or reason to it.

If you plan on staying within 10 feet of this receiver this product will work fine for you.. if you don't have that ability I would recommend looking elsewhere
