Customers are saying

Customers appreciate the Optical/Coaxial Digital-to-Analog Audio Converter for its great sound quality and ease of use. Many find it compatible with their existing setups, especially when HDMI is not an option, and consider it a good value for the price. The only notable drawback mentioned is the absence of a volume control feature.

    It works fine, but I do wish it had an internal volume to work with. Also, when I stream with Apple Music from my TV, it starts to glitch for the following song, and then it stops to glitch.

    I am still stuck in the stone age with a two channel receiver (Yamaha R-S202BL) and bookshelf speakers (Elac Debut 2.0) for my AVR setup. I recently purchased a new Samsung 65" Q8f 4K television which has all the connections needed, however my receiver has no HDMI. Fortunately the receiver has optical audio output. This is where the Insignia converter comes into play, such that I am able to connect the tv to my old school audio setup because of the converter.

    Needed to adapt my older Bose Sound Dock 10 to be compatible with Optical output on new LED TV. This did the trick. Very easy to set up.

    My wife is hard of hearing and at nighttime she has to have the sound on the TV turned up really loud. I bought a speaker and a transmitter so she could have the sound next to her on the pillow. It worked great at home so I tried to duplicate it at the cottage. Unfortunately the TV at the cottage did not support this connection and I needed to purchase a converter to go from coaxial to analog. This did the trick and she can now have a speaker right next to her and the sound is now at a manageable level.

    It works good except; I had to reset it by unplugging and re-plugging to make it work after the first use. I don't always use my stereo for sound, but I like it for movies. I got it working right after purchase but did not use it for about a week then when I switched over to stereo, no sound. I spent time thinking it was my TV (new SONY OLED). Converter power light was on. I decided to try the old reset (unplug and plug) and that worked. I am a little bummed that I had to go through that. Not sure why it needs to be reset after non use.

    Functionly it meets all requirements. However, you can purchase similar items on the internet, at more than 50% less in price; these items will have the same quality as the best Buy item. Best Buy should really consider adjusting its price on this item to match--more or less--- the same items in price on the internet. If they did this, my guess is that the sales volume of this item would dramatically increase.

    This is great for wireless headphones that need a jack to plug in the base of wireless headphones into a tv. Our 65" tv curved screen didn't have one, so instead of going out and paying $100-$300 for another set of headphones got this and cord. Spent less than $50.00 total and got to keep my favorite headphones. Great for anyone that needs to convert a product that needs a plug in for headphones because they upgraded to a larger tv and want to use their headphones
