Logitech Bluetooth Audio Adapter for Bluetooth Streaming

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.

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!

I love this product at the first glance. It is stylish, small and easy to setup. I had no problem using it with my cell phone (Moto G). All I did was one-clicking the button on its top and it became visible and pair-able on the phone.However, for my computer, a four-year-old laptop running Win7 with an USB Bluetooth adapter, this audio adapter could only be paired but was not able to be connected successfully as the default playback device. It seemed to me that the USB adapter driver was not up-to-date or having limited functionality, so I checked the chipset of the USB adaptor (in Win7 this can be done by Start->Computer(right-click)->Manage->Device Manager and see the description of the Bluetooth adapter). It said "Broadcom BCM20702 Bluetooth 4.0 USB Device." I went to Broadcom's website [...] to download the latest driver. Everything works great after the new driver installed (the installation process might take some time so be patient).The sound quality is acceptable. The wireless connection is smooth and has no delay. No glitches so far has been noticed while used normally for 3 days (I used it with a distance of 10 feet to the signal source). Some glitches in sound happened when I tried using my laptop to connect and send music signal to the the adapter while the adapter was also receiving and playing music from my cell phone. In other words, I tried to jam myself and I succeeded :P. Since it can only receive signal from one source at a time, do not do such a silly thing like I did if you would like to have a good music experience with this product.Although I had the aforementioned connection problem using the this product, it should not be blamed for the problem. I am so far very satisfied with this product.
