Jabra Bluetooth Music Adaptor Review

Jabra Bluetooth Music Adaptor
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
It works great to remedy a shortcoming of my zumo 550 GPS, which doesn't broadcast Bluetooth in stereo. But mostly, I like to plug it into my iPod, which I leave in the map pocket of my tank bag. I don't like being tethered to my bike in any way -- and this is an effective way of avoiding that.
The stereo sound quality, range, and volume are surprisingly good. Battery life seems to be as-advertised. Pairing was easy. I also found that I can plug it into the USB charger for my Motorola Q (cell phone) to recharge it -- versus having to charge it from a PC.
I've paired this device with the Bluetooth Wonder Stereo Headset, which I also purchased via Amazon. This is another great little device that enables your earphones of choice with Bluetooth!

I ordered this item because I wanted to be able to watch TV in bed while my wife slept. Its great product but not for watching TV or video. There is a delay in the sound, it's like watching an old Godzilla movie, the people's mouth move and then you hear their voices. I tried it on three other TVs my laptop and my Zen video player and got the same results. I guess this is why they call it a Bluetooth Music Transmitter.

Cables Unlimited Wireless USB to HDMI and VGA Adapter with Audio Review

Finally got it :)
After a long 2 day wait(kidding as I consider it fast from the states to Switzerland)..... I received the device.
At unpacking it turned out that there was no European plug attachment included but as my BBerry has one I will just skip charging it thing for now.
Connected the little receiver box. (Had to rip out my SatReceiver HDMI to save time looking for a spare cable but thats OK)
*HDMI cable not included but I have some somewhere in the house so that is OK.
At installation, there are two options of interest.
Install the software or download the latest drivers and install.
Of course I could not wait so installed the CD drivers and attached the USB adapter to my laptop.
Screen popped up in few seconds and looked perfectly fine.
No thinking required, worked like a charm.
I did notice though that there was an issue with the screen because whenever I typed or moved the mouse, the screen flashed. (Probably an interupt conflict somewhere)
A little dissapointed with this I downloaded the 50-ish updated drivers.
After download I found that there was a firmware upgrade in the driver pack for both USB adapter and receiver.
Upgrade and reinstall took approximately 2 minutes and fixed the flickering screen.
Even though the resolution 1280X720 is a little lower than I am used to as I run on 1900X1200, it is up to supplier specifications so this is fair enough.
*Note to self, connect HDMI to HDMI when playing SC-II or EVE.
UPDATE: Next day the screen duplicated so I had to set it back. Perhaps there has been an update because the resolution is now higher than spec. 1360X768!!!
Tips when installing:
-Download the latest drivers first to prevent you uninstalling and re-installing.
-Update the firmware.
-Get the HDMI cable before you receive the device.
Note to those who can't make it work:
Possibly your laptop settings are not correct, TV is not up to spec or the OS is a mess *Clean it.
Note regarding people that complain regarding line of sight:
My laptop is approx 25 feet away from the receiver and it works like a charm.
The receiver needs NEAR line of sight, NLOS, NO problem. *I would not like anyone close to where I live to be able to pick up my screen now would I?
If I walk in front of the transmitter, no issue.
If I block the transmitter with the box in which it came, no issue.
If I put my hand in front, no issue.
If I wrap my hand around it... guess what.. it does not work and the connection drops.
*Unplug and re-plug the transmitter and it is OK again.
For those who want to know:
Receiver connected through HDMI to Samsung Series 7 52" Plasma.
Laptop: Alienware M17xR2,8GbDDR3,I7M620, Dual ATI Radeon 4870 in crossflex mode.@ Guys at Cables Unlimmited,
Do you really need to save 0.50USD for the adapter?

I bought this after a good deal of research. I wanted something that set flush on my mp3 players. I didn't want something dangling --- that's why I didn't want cords anymore. I also wanted something easy to use. There's not a lot written about this unit on the Web but it looked worth a try to me.
When I got it I charged it. Took less than two hours to get a full charge. It charges via USB -- has no AC. I read the instructions and, while poorly written, it did more or less lead me in the right direction.
A bit of an annoyance is that the on/off switch is on the side that faces the player. So be sure and turn it on first. It would be nice if it was on the outside.
After a bit of trouble paring I got the knack of it and now use it with all three of my mp3 players, which range from one very old Creative Nano to a slightly newer but still old GPX to a new Creative Zen X-f1. I am paring it with my Jabra Extreme, which I use for my phone.
Now, I listen mostly to audio books so I don't need stereo or great sound quality. If I did, I would certainly get another headset. But the Nolan transmitter is great and I highly recommend it.

Sony Bluetooth Transmitter and Adapter for iPod and MP3 Players Review

Sony Bluetooth Transmitter and Adapter for iPod and MP3 Players

I have always had high regard for Sony's products. They design always used to be very thoughtful with attention to the slightest details. However, I'm quite disappointed with this product as well as the Sony bluetooth headphones that pairs with this. Most of them may seem like trivial issues, but in the long frequent run, they turn out to be really annoying, especially after you pay for a premium product.
The few good things first. The sound quality is flawless, when in range. There's no noise or hissing and every note is clear. The device itself is really easy to use and I have no qualms about that; simply turn it on and use it. Battery life is alright, but I don't think you can replace the battery. (Not sure about that one yet.)
The things that annoy me are the following. Maybe you are like me too?
#1. You can't use the device while its connected to the charging dock. You can't use it while it's charging either. Maybe it's not intended to be used as a desktop device. But unfortunately, that's what I bought it to be used as. So you have to charge it and remove out of the dock.. (leave it hanging or something) every time you want to use it.. really annoying if you are using it on a regular basis. I can't see how they can overlook such an issue.
#2. Range is limited, when compared to other transmitters in the market.
#3. The power plug/transformer/adapter's design can't be worse. The plug is so wide, when plugged in, you can't plug anything next to it. This may seem like a silly issue, but it can become so annoying, esp. when you have a zillion other things plugged into your outlet box, like mine. How can Sony design something so horrible? They could have made the plug stand vertical like the zillion other plugs out there are. At the least, they could have made the plug retractable. Huh.
#4. The audio latency seems to be slightly longer than when connected through other transmitters, which is really strange. I know bluetooth protocol has the inherent latency issues. But it's worse with this device.
#5. The coiled wire is such a nuisance.... well, atleast they seem to have fixed it with the newer models.
