The lag for this device is terrible, almost 1 full second of lag making this adapter awful for TV use. Using the same headset (plantronics 903+) without this adapter on my iPad has no lag at all and video works great so it's defiantly not my headset that's the problem.

Other problems I saw were that the charging light did not go out after 24 hours of charging even though the manual says it should go out when fully charged. So either my unit couldn't take a full charge after 24 hours, or the light doesn't work right. Either way it stinks of poor quality.

The other problem is the manual say you can't use the device while it's charging, so if you wanted to use this to make a semi permanent Bluetooth system (like for a stereo system), you'll be disappointed.

Overall unless you only want to use this for occasional music only Bluetooth, I would not recommend this product.

Using as wireless audio transmitter, plugged into a mixer/amp on my motorcycle, which in turn, carries the audio from devices plugged into it-- radar detector, xm sat radio, gps, iphone, etc. using a sony BT receiver with built in FM radio and earplug speakers under my helmet. This allows selective listening with all devices and, if wanted, telephone usage- although I won't talk while riding-- but can see if someone is trying to call me, then ignore or pull over if important enough to talk.

device seems to work fine so far-- about a month. keeps charge for about 6 to 8 hrs of continuous use. charges overnight. easy to operate. good sound quality and transmission, with clear signal.

supplied manual wasn't great but manufacturer's rep., found online, was terrific about emailing back and forth regarding details of use and operation.

For the price- well worth it. Convenience of no wires connecting me to the bike is also a way to minimize distracting wires getting hung up while riding or when dismounting.

This is an awesome li5tle companion for anyone with Bluetooth headphones and a non Bluetooth TV. Sounds great thru my insignia Bluetooth. Headphones. Could have made headphone Jack cord a bit more heavy. Duty.

I purchased this along with LG Tone (HBS-700) Wireless Bluetooth Stereo Headset - Retail Packaging - Black/Orange to use while at work. Luckily they both have about the same run time of about 8 hours. I plug these into the 3.5mm jack on my speakers and I'm able to walk around my office (up to 30 feet) without any interference at all. I've never heard of this brand and took a chance but it was worth it. Generally i fully discharge the battery and it fully recharges in about 1.5 hours. I'd highly recommend this product.

I can't rate it 1 star, because it does work, but I bought it to use with my TV and there is a serious lag against the video, so it can't be used for anything but music. I tried it connected to my TV and directly connected to my PS3 audio outputs and with several receivers, but the result was the same. I'm very disappointed it didn't work as expected and would recommend against it for anything other than music.

I haven't had the transmitter for long, but here is what I have noted so far:
1. Works great with the Kindle in Text to Speech mode.
2. Works great with Kindle Fire playing a show on Hulu+.
3. No lag with the Kindle Fire while watching shows on Hulu+ (I imagine buffering and connections could change this, but works great for me).
4. Works while plugged in and charging (saw in another review that they read it didn't so I tested it).
Only problem I have is half my household is threatening to swipe mine if I don't get them one of these.

It's nice to not be leashed to my Zune. I don't need to go far, it's just nice to not have to get tangled in the cords. Other models of dongle didn't look like they'd integrate nicely given the placement of the headphone jack on the Zune HD, the cord on this one offers some flexibility that isn't available on other models.

It does work best in line-of-sight, do keep that in mind. One wall, and you're toast, even just a few feet away.

I was hesitant to buy this after reading a few of the negative reviews that mentioned a major audio delay. Still, it was the cheapest, decently reviewed solution for my needs. After having the product for about 2 weeks, I can say I'm very happy that I bought it. I use this, in conjunction with the Samsung Modus 3500 HM3500 Premium Noise Cancelling Dual Mono Stereo Bluetooth Headset with 2 Adapters to play games and watch TV without waking up my kids. That includes playing games like Rock Band and Dance Central. With regular games, Dance Central, and TV, I haven't noticed any delay. The delay is noticeable with Rock Band, but it isn't anything that the game can't compensate for. According to the auto calibration, the delay varies between +160 and +200 ms.

In addition to the negligible delay, the battery life is fantastic. It lasts through at least two charges of the headphones (about 8 hours total), and it can still operate while charging. I haven't noticed any degradation in sound quality, either. This is everything I needed it to be, and at a reasonable cost.

I have a zune and unfortunatly it does not have Bluetooth. I found this recommended as a solution and thought it was worth a try. It works great! I wish that my car radio was set up for mp3 players other than Apple and my radio controls would work too. Maybe some day people will realize that not everyone likes Apple and make software compatible to other players. Love the adapter.

I was pleasantly surprised to find that this worked flawlessly. It makes it possible to use Bluetooth headset with almost any audio devise. Now I just need an adapter cable to connect to our TV.
