The JayBird JB-BA-100m Bluetooth Adapter for MP3 enables virtually any MP3 player (or other audio device that has a 3.5-mm headphone jack) to transmit stereo audio to your JayBird JB-100 Bluetooth Stereo Headset. With up to a 33-foot range, the JB-BA-100m includes a rechargeable battery for up to six hours of use.

Enjoy Wireless Audio with a Multitude of Devices
The JB-BA-100m works with any 3.5-mm headphone jack, so you can hook it up to any number of audio devices: MP3 players, Macs and PCs, home theater systems, or anything else with a headphone jack.

Rechargeable Battery
Plug your JB-BA-100m into the included charging dock (attached to AC adapter or USB cable), and the 230 mAh internal Lithium-Polymer battery will be fully charged in about two hours. A full charge provides about six hours of use.

For Use With Jaybird JB-100 Stereo Headset
Pair the JP-BA-100m with the Jaybird JB-100 Stereo Headset for 16-bit stereo wireless sound. The devices are paired using the Bluetooth 2.0 A2DP protocol, and no passkey is required--the JP-BA-100m automatically pairs with the headset. A status LED lets you know when the device is connected.

2.0 out of 5 stars Bluetooth link distance marginal,, October 31, 2008

I purchased the JV-BA100M MP3 adapter and JB-200 bluetooth headphones. I decided to get the MP3 adapter because I thought it would give me the most options for playback on different devices. My luck so far with the pair is not so good. The MP3 adapter and headphones seemed to charge with the included charger fine. Pairing and connecting the set was also easy and worked the first time.

The problem started when I actually went to use the system. The audio link between the two seemed to skip or miss parts of the music fairly often, unless the two were very close to each other. I do not have an arm band for my MP3 player, so I had to keep the MP3 player and adapter in my pocket. I do not think both the MP3 adapter and headphones will work reliably much farther than a few feet from each other. As soon as the distance goes beyond about three feet I started noticing the skipping.

The headphone jack coming out of the adapter is also tricky to make work with lots of players. Many players or headphone jacks do not provide enough clearance for the two inch adapter. I am not sure how the design could be better, but it is just not optimal.

Unfortunately after a few weeks this adapter stopped turning on, so I had to RMA it with Jaybird.

It's presented as a "Universal" adapter - but it's really just an adapter for their JB-200 headset. You have to by a charger separately and it's not obvious from the product description unless you read real carefully. Every other adapter charges over USB - don't know why this one doesn't.

I was so excited to receive this adapter and the price was a bargain. I received it on time and when I plugged it in; nothing happened. I took a moment and read the instruction booklet and it kept referring to a charger that didn't come with the adapter and isn't available for sale on Amazon.com. I did find it at the company's website and it isn't very expensive; it would've been nice to know that I needed it AND if Amazon.com carried it.
