2.0 out of 5 stars Too Quiet, January 26, 2009

I bought this adapter for my fiancee for Christmas because she wanted something to use while jogging so that the cord wouldn't get tangled up. First, I should say that the initial pairing was very simple. I was a little worried about this because it occurred to me that neither these nor the Motorola MOTOROKR S9 Bluetooth Stereo Headphones had a screen or entry to enter the Bluetooth PIN into. However, the pairing was automatic because this device is smart enough to go through common PINs I guess.

However, after we paired we found the major flaw. The music that it put through was incredibly quiet. We had to turn her SanDisk Sansa MP3 player all the way up to hear anything at all. We thought it could be the MP3 player or the headphones so I tried the headphones with my PowerBook that has Blueotooth and they sounded great. Then we tried the adapter in the audio out of my laptop and that was quiet also. In the end I called IOGear and they told me there was nothing I could do about it so I returned them and am replacing them with something else for her.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not perfect, but pretty good..., January 30, 2009

I purchased this product as a replacement for another wireless bluetooth transmitter that wasn't compatible with my Sandisk Sansa e260. Overall, I can't much complain about the IOGear GBMA211, with the exception of the battery life is short. I can charge it for a full night and maybe get 8-10 hours out of it. Maybe that's typical for these things, but I don't know. Also, the volume output is significantly lower than if I were using the cord with my headphones and mp3 player. Those are the only two issues I've had with this and again, they're not horrible flaws. The device is a bit pricey, considering the flaws it has, but it's definitely convenient to have this, if you don't like dealing with cords.

So far this product has done well, used to have problems with other transmitters cutting in and out, but this one keeps a consistent signal, and the adapters it comes with are extremely useful, quite pleased, and the company shipped it almost immedietly
