I bought these to use with my bluetooth hearing aids on an upcoming trip. Hearing aids make using ear bud receivers difficult like the kind on airplanes and guided tours. I set my up to listen to something on my laptop as a test case, which was easy. I have read where people could not get this to work with their hearing aid, so here is a little more information as it did take me some fiddling to figure things out with other things like QuietVOX and the airline entertainment. It seemed I had to download the app for my hearing aids (which I normally do not use) and let it know to accept another device to be connected - I indicated it as a headphone. Then under Bluetooth connections on my phone, I had to find what this device was called. The photo shows how it came up on my phone. Once I had my hearing aids and this device connected, it worked fabulously! I could comfortably hear tour guides and the flight entertainment system. I'm guessing this might work with a TV as well. Very happy to find this tool and highly recommend. Read more
I bought this to use with my JVC 660 Bluetooth headphones and various devices... my big screen TV and AV setup, or when flying. My 660 came with an audio plug, and that will work on an airplane, it won't work for the big screen TV... I want to be more than 3' away from the 85' screen! You have to charge this adapter first, which can be done with any USB C charger. Once that's done, it's fairly easy to set up and connect to. The audio is good, with no perceptible lag. Now I can sit on my couch and watch TV without bothering the house with the Dolby 5.1 sound system. Haven't tried it on an airplane yet, but there's no reason it wouldn't work. It's inexpensive, does exactly what it says, lets you use wireless headphones or ear buds when you otherwise couldn't. If only it was able to broadcast to multiple headsets (don't think there's an appropriate Bluetooth protocol for that) it would be perfect. Very satisfied. Read more
Bought this item for travel to transmit from our tour leader’s non-bluetooth speaking device (“whisper”) to my Kirkland Signature 10 (KS 10) hearing aids from Costco, so I could avoid dealing with the tangle of earphone wires as we walk around. This item definitely works with the KS 10 hearing aids. Pros: came fully charged; description is accurate (fits easily into shirt pocket or hangs from belt loop); works well at 50’ distance from tour leader; also works great with my ancient non-bluetooth stereo amplifier. Cons: instructions are printed in very tiny font, so a magnifier was helpful; instructions are a bit difficult to follow and could use more complete explanations of RX vs. TX setup - but I got there with a little experimenting. I rewrote the instructions in a simpler, more descriptive format that I and my wife use for joining components now. Five stars for performance minus one star for unclear setup instructions. It is a cool gadget that does what it’s supposed to. Read more
Sound constantly cuts out. It's even worse if I'm moving. It's not my headphones. I use them for hours every day and I've never had this issue with bluetooth connectivity before. It's not distance. I can be sitting still right next to the transmitter and it's fritzing on me. It's not other devices interfering. I want to return it for a refund but Amazon returns policy says must be "unopened, unused". Well, of course I want to return it and get a refund because I've used it. And it sucks. Don't recommend. I'll add, pairing was not easy. Yes, my headphones have the compatible CODEC type. It took many attempts when usually my headphones pair quickly to anything new once stuff is in pairing mode. Not so this thing. The connector wire is much longer than shown in the photo. Fine if you keep it folded up in the twistie. It's worth one star because the sound quality when it's NOT dropping out is good. Range seems decent too. Anyway, that was a waste of money. Wish I'd sprung for the more expensive bt transmitter with all the top reviews. I don't have money to just buy another, better one. So yeah, it's a real bummer. I want my money back. You can have the transmitter. Read more
