  • Summary: Wow
  • Comment: I was a little skeptical at first. I haven't found anything electronic that really works the way I want it to, but hey, I'm a perfectionist!

    So this little gadget interested me. I hooked it up to my aging surround sound system with a mini-plug to dual RCA wire I happened to have lying around the house. (It does NOT come with standard cables to plug into such devices.)

    Okay, so I plugged it in - no worries. Easy setup. My goal was to have this thingy paired with: My Iphone 4.0, My Ipad, Wife's Iphone 3GS. I was able to pair it with all three without any difficulties (followed directions.)

    What shocked me the most was the audio quality. I was expecting hissing, or dropped signal, but none! I walk at least 35 feet away and the signal kept with me. I couldn't walk into the bathroom in the master bath (the receiver was in the living room.) Of course, if I was in the master bath, I wouldn't need to be listening to music in my living room anyway.

    So, this thingy does the trick. I can't speak for any other platform transmitting to it except the 3 Apple products I mentioned above - but it worked great with them. I can easily, without ANY worries, hook up my bluetooth and start listening to music in seconds.

    This unit doesn't go into sleep mode (as far as I can tell) so I simply turn my surround sound system on (making sure it is set to the right channel for my unit) and then I turn on the bluetooth on my device - pick music and go. So no need to "re-pair", no need to turn this thingy back on or off, no need to do anything except turn your speakers on, turn bluetooth on, press play. Quick, easy, sounds great!

  • Summary: Works as advertised
  • Comment: Works as advertised - good for connecting an iPhone or the like on an ad hoc basis to a stereo system. Keep in mind that it only supports the A2DP audio profile and not the AVRCP control profile, so you'll need to play/pause etc from the component generating the sound. Sound is typical Bluetooth quality - not as good as a wire, but decent. I had no trouble with reception range - it would connect with my iPhone from the next room.

  • Summary: Cool device
  • Comment: I connected this device to my Bose lifestyle and now I am done with my wires. I have connected my laptop, 2 iphones and a blackberry via bluetooth and can play pretty much anything I want.

  • Summary: Excellent little device!!
  • Comment: Excellent device!! I can now play and control music from my Blackberry from my couch. No hassling with cables and the like. Sound quality is quite good if not excellent - notwithstanding the digital-analog conversion done. Meets my expectations 100%, as in general Sony products do.

  • Summary: Sony 2 way Bluetooth
  • Comment: I use this to transmit music from my ipad to my stereo and it works well. I believe they say you should have line of sight but I have the bluetooth on the floor upstairs from where I use my ipad and it works OK (seems to transmit through the ceiling and floor OK). It works best when directly below and OK if I go 15 feet but drops off after that. It's a little tricky setting up several devices. I keep it simple by just using the ipad. Sometimes I have to re-establish the connection using ipad settings but that's pretty easy.
