This is a great product if you do not want to move the cd player or mp3 player far from the radio you are using to transmit. I use this for my mp3/cd player and my sisters ipod on my stereo instead of wasting batteries on my media speakers and it worked well when I had the transmitter inches from the stereo, anything more than that and it gets very staticky with a lot of white noise. It does it's job but it doesn't do it well

The photograph shows a USB power cord; the ARKON SF150A does not include such a cord. Only the ARKON SF150C does.

This works great with radios/receivers that have analog tuning. It is not intended for radios/receivers with digital tuning (they have a different model).

But unfortunatly, that isn't the case here. For the same price, I'd recommend a different model, or just pay the extra five for a high end. With it being analog, technically you would have a broader range to use, but that would depend on your radio also being analog. Plus it is frusterating to dial in, and easy to bump or such. Plus it takes two! triple A batteries. Further more, a digital one has a longer range, with less signal drop. Only real redeeming factor is that the particular seller was quite expedient, but that dosen't reflect on the product. Steer clear if at all possiable.

I wished the range to find a empty station was wider. Sometimes I couldn't find a unbroadcasted area from FM88-95.

Analog frequency selection is sometimes a pain.
Sound quality over a range of 20 ft is poor, within 20 ft is just ok.
Not recommemnded I guess....

Finally stopped working after 2 months, returned to amazon for a partial refund

Is a good device for a MP3 Player or other music device to use in the stereo car or at home. NTG

I thought it was a complete pain to have to adjust the radio then adjust the knob on the transmitter. It's very hard to manage while trying to drive so I dont recommend this. I wish I would have just paid a little more money for something better.

My ipod had just died on me, and there was still 6 months until christmas. So I went cheap, bought a 15 dollar 1 gig mp3 player at Ritaid and was looking for a easy fix to listening to music once again in my car. Mind you I did not have a tape deck. I found this on Amazon for under 10 bucks and said why not. Even with the so/so reviews. I'm glade I bought it.

First, the battery life on this fm transmitter is great. I even went cheap on the batteries, buying them at save-a-lot and they lasted me probably 3 weeks, if not more. During those three weeks I even left the transmitter on over night once on accident. Mind you these batteries were a dollar for ten. So battery life I give a 10 on this product.

Second, sound quality is pretty good. If you are using this transmitter to listen to music through a radio at work or your home it's just as good as any other off brand fm transmitter out their, including belkin, and is much cheaper. In my car I did run into a few minor problems. I have a bass system in my car and did find that the tune dial on the fm transmitter sometimes would not hold it's position and I would lose signal and sometimes would find myself trying to tune it back in at traffic lights and stop signs. But given that the battery life on this device lasts twice as long as any other model transmitter and it's as cheap as it is I say that it was a great buy, and I would recommend it to anyone who doesn't want to spend 20 bucks on a wireless transmitter. The plus side the battery life will last an all day road trip, but will your patients. Again though, anywhere else other than a car it sounded great and had minimal frequency disturbance and was a great buy!

Oh! also the cd player in my car was digital, so this fm transmitter does work with digital tuners.

I received the product the very next day! The seller was honest and efficient. However, the product itself does not work as well as I thought it would. I do not recommend the product but I do recommend the seller.
