Logitech Bluetooth Audio Adapter for Bluetooth Streaming

Works wonderfully. I can play music from my phone to my stereo speakers. Sound quality is fantastic.

The unit was easy to set up. Following the enclosed instructions, I simply plugged it in to a power outlet, attached it to the 3.5 mm auxiliary port of my Bose Wave Radio, and identified and paired it immediately with my Kindle HDX. To test out the quality and range of the Bluetooth signal, I began listening to an Audible audio book, then switched to Prime Music. Later, I listened to some of my favorite radio shows on Tune-In. No drop-outs. No hiss. No static. Everything was clear and perfect. I highly recommend this product.In addition to trying the Logitech Bluetooth Audio Adapter with my Bose radio, I also plugged the Logitech into a set of powered Yamaha speakers plus sub-woofer (Model YST-MS50, manufactured in 1998) that I had stored in the basement and had not used for about 10 years. As stated on the box, the Logitech will work directly with powered speakers as long as the speakers have a 3.5 mm auxiliary input. No need to hook them up to a PC or tuner. Imagine my amazement when beautiful, full sound from some music on my Kindle passed through the Logitech Bluetooth and emerged from these old Yamaha speakers. Believe me, I had given up on these speakers!I also discovered the Logitech Bluetooth Audio Adapter has good, solid range-- definitely in excess of 30 feet. To see about the signal strength, I tested the Bluetooth Adapter in an old Queen Anne style house, built around 1910, with thick plaster and lathe walls, leaded glass windows, and thick doors that inhibit Bluetooth signals. The signal from other Bluetooth devices that I own (from Belkin and Monoprice, which are otherwise good units) barely reaches 18 feet from the third floor to the second in this house.With the Logitech Bluetooth Adapter, no signal problem! As a test, I set up my Kindle HDX on my desk on the third floor, playing an Audible Book and broadcasting through Bluetooth. I got a clear Bluetooth signal through my Bose radio, downstairs at 32 feet away. I want to emphasize that it was not "line of sight." The radio was down the stairs, through the second floor hallway, and all the way through two closed doors to the front of the house and into another room!

This thing works beautifully, so I’ll give it five stars, but there is one thing that has been annoying me about it. When you walk away far enough to disconnect and then come into range again it makes a super loud beeping pairing noise when it reconnects to your phone. This is pretty annoying as it’s extremely loud on my stereo and I walk from the house to the garage frequently and get my hat blown off by the beeping noise every time I come back out. I wish there was a way to disable this pairing alert noise.

This Logitech Bluetooth Audio Adapter works great. I bought it in lieu of replacing my satisfactory desktop PC speaker setup with an expensive Bluetooth speaker setup. Connection is as simple as any other Bluetooth device -- put the adapter into pairing mode by holding its single button for a second, find the adapter in the Bluetooth settings of the device you wish to pair, and off you go.This is where the caveat comes in, however, as the adapter REALLY likes to stay paired for whatever reason. Disconnecting from the adapter in my laptop's Bluetooth settings is futile, as it automatically reconnects seconds later. If I'm using my laptop in my living room (or any other room within the generous range of connectivity,) I don't want sound routed to my bedroom speakers! This leaves me with two options: temporarily disable Bluetooth, or open the Sound properties and change the output from the Logitech adapter to the internal speakers. Neither are ideal solutions, but nor are either terribly inconvenient -- just a few more actions. It's not a big deal in my use case, but I could see this being a bigger hassle for some.Performance-wise, I have no complaints, but I can't offer the best critique in terms of fidelity. I went from using my motherboard's on-board sound card (Realtek ALC892) with the decidedly entry level Logitech Z4 speakers to a laptop paired to this Bluetooth adapter with the same speakers, and I don't notice any difference in sound quality, and no discernible lag to boot. The jury is definitely still out if you're more of a power user when it comes to computer audio (DACs, dedicated sound cards, etc.) For my usage, though -- listening to music, watching videos & movies -- it powers my meager speakers just as well as my integrated sound card did.

I bought this for my elderly parents. They didn't want to invest in new wireless speakers and my research found this adapter. It took 2 seconds to install in their receiver and worked immediately. The best part about this adapter is that it doesn't take anything away - my dad, who has dementia, was very concerned about this - it simply adds a layer of functionality. I can't believe how simple and hassle free this device is to install AND use. The sound was great and there were no connectivity issues interrupting playback. The unit is small enough that it doesn't add any clutter to what's already there. It's a perfect, inexpensive solution for anyone who wants wireless capability but doesn't want to buy new everything.

I purchased this so I could get online music (very little ads) to my home stereo in my work area. Works great through my phone, no problems, easy setup/pairing. Accuradio rocks!
