Don't expect to use this device to stream music
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I bought this device to stream music from my iPhone to my home speakers. Although it works a few seconds at a time it generally is not usable, music is constantly interrupted and the sound goes out for a fraction of second every 2-3 seconds. I though I may have been too far at first, I was about 15 feet from the device, so I placed my iPhone right next to it. That didn't help. I connected the device to its charger thinking the battery may be low but that didn't help either. Needless to say, it went straight to the garbage bin.

Best Buy Said Would Work - It Didn't

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I bought Bose wireless Bluetooth headphones AE2w. I wanted a BT universal adapter to plug into devices, such as older iPod that doesn't have Bluetooth technology, or older devices in general..Manager of Stroudsberg, PA Best Buy said this BT adaptor would do the trick. I tried to pair it with Bose headset...won't work. It keeps searching for matched signal so long, headset and adaptor loses charge. Obviously they are not a matched signal. Waste of money. Managers should at least be familiar with equipment over making a another sale. I am not happy.

Stopped working after a few times

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I've had this for a total of 4 months and have maybe used it 5 times. During those 5 times, it worked fine, though when there is a pause between songs, there is loud static. I learned to deal with that, but today, it stopped working mid song. I tried replugging it, and the USB end is indicating that it's getting power, but the light won't even indicate that it's off now. Just completely dead. Total waste of money.

Range Issue
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Product received mixed review but thought I'd give it try since my range of use was probably about 15 feet which should be plenty since the product says up to 30 feet range. Worked okay at first, but later usage proved the range to gradually worsened and the static and drop out rate increased. Too late to return the product and now trying to get some other use out of it. I guess I know which side of the mixed review I'm on now.

Works great the first time

This thing worked very well the FIRST time I plugged it in. After that, I had to throw it away. It could not stream music without cutting out or breaking up. I tried several devices and sources for transmitting and receiving audio to make sure before I could confidently conclude that THIS DEVICE IS A PIECE OF _____ ! No wonder it was on the sale rack

Extremely poor connection & range

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I bought this thinking it would work for my receiver, but Bluetooth connection was difficult to sync as it would connect like once out of 6-7 tries, and it loses connectivity at “3 feet” away, not even kidding here. This is a horrible product. I had returned it. It cost $30 but it’s not even worth a buck! Piece of junk. Don’t waste your time on this.

i bought this and when i brought it home i charged it immediately. i tried to pair it with my itouch 5th gen, and nothing happened. it was not recognized by the itouch, even after a couple of times. i would nor recommend buying this, it is a waste of your money. it is a little plastic box that just plugs into stuff and does nothing else, not even receive or send music to a stereo.

Does not pair with Beats Studio Wireless

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Bought this because I was tired of being connected to my work PC by a wire when I have wireless headphones (Beats Studio Wireless). For 2 days I tried to pair my headphones to the bluetooth adapter. Has not worked. I've even reset my headphones. Tired of trying with a product that obviously doesn't want to pair with my headphones, going to return.

Short Range

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Bought this to hook to my home theatre reciever. My devices hooked up easy. I go 15-20 feet from the Bluetooth adapter and my device cuts in and out I'm not even a full room over from it. The range is horrible. Would not recommend it to anyone that wants any type of range.

Long time lag

I purchased this product for use with a electronic drum pad. It has a very annoying time lag. It can't be used for this task. It should have a product warning about the time lag.

Instructions do not help, receiver does not work. Could not pair with my Sol Republic Bluetooth earbuds, I believe the positive reviews on here are just plants from people who never purchased the item.
