TaoTronics Wireless Portable Bluetooth Transmitter Connected to 3.5mm Audio Devices, Paired with Bluetooth Receiver, TV Ears, Bluetooth Dongle, A2DP Stereo Music Transmission

Have a Blue Toothed receiver out by the pool and have used our phones to connect to it. That worked fine, but limits were the music from my phone can be played (inside the house or outside by the pool). Having a Smart TV we connect to the music stations when not actually watching TV. The TaoTronics Wireless Transmitter did the trick. Connecting this device to the audio output of the Smart TV always music to still be played on the TV (or with the TV muted if you wanted) AND broadcast to the outside Blue Tooth speaker on the pool patio.The TaoTronic unit is charged from the USB on the TVThe only problem experienced was during the my install, but READING ALL OF THE INSTRUCTIONS solved that problem, which was to delete a old blue tooth receiver that was already stored on the TaoTraonic Transmitter. The transmitter will only store and connect to one target receiver at a time. Figured the old stored blue tooth location was from the factory QA Testing of my device.

This is the most useful little gadget! It makes things that are NOT bluetooth compatable, BE bluetooth compatable. My husband is almost deaf (despite wearing hearing aides). He has a bluetooth speaker that he wears around his neck for telephone useage and low and behold it works with this too! You simply plug this into an audio out port, press the power button on the device, and HE can hear the TV or our play Pink Floyd albums on old school stereo/turn table without blasting everyone else in the house out of their minds. It has a self charging internal battery; The TV charges it when its on, and the battery will keep it up and running until the TV is turned on again. To my surprise it even worked with our old boom box, so now he can listen to his sports on the boom box OUT IN THE GARAGE! lmao Seriously, this is an amazing, life changer for all of us who live in the house! Thank you TaoTronics! The sellers of this product actually emailed me 2 times to insure that I had detailed instructions on how to use this product, and they responded and confirmed my emailed question about whether or not it would work with our old school stereo. First class outfit, right there!

It is ok when there is a sound input. However, when the source does not have any sound input, the device sends a "hiss" sound in one side of the head phone. Then, half minute later, the other side. It continues to send the hiss sound randomly. I guess the original idea is to remind the user the device still on. However, it will be VERY annoying.In my case, my company puts a restriction in using USB bluetooth from a PC. I can only listen the music via a regular 3.5mm audio plug. However, I am not always listening music. Sometime, just put everything on mute. Then, the "hiss" sound would be very noticeable. After a few days, it turns out very annoying. Finally, i put the device in my drawer. It may be its final home. A sad story of the little device.

I originally wrote a review of this product that was one star for the product and 5 stars forthe company and the way they handled my issue.Basically the problem was that the original transmitter would not hold a charge and wouldnot pair with my headset. I contacted the company and they sent me (in two days) a replacementtransmitter, no questions asked! I thought that this was very kind of them, but the second onewouldn't pair either. After some back and forth they determined that the problem was with my headset and so they sent me a different type transmitter that did pair with my device.This transmitter works flawlessly and I am very happy with it and the ease with which it pairs each andevery time I turn on the TV.I want every one out there to know that I have no connection with the company, I'm not paid to say orwrite this, but I must tell you that Tao Tronics is a first class outfit. They went out of their way to makethis right as expediently as is possible. It seemed to me that their only concern was my satisfaction andfor that I am grateful.Thank you so much Rosie and Efrain for your help and support throughout this issue. I will always recommendyour company to anyone who asks. It's rare to find a company these days with service like yours.
