Anker Bluetooth 2.1 Audio Receiver

I use the Aluratek ABC02F Universal Bluetooth Audio Receiver and Transmitter connected to the Optical Audio output on my Sony TV. It pairs with a set of Sony Bluetooth earbuds to provide a separate channel for audio for my aging ears while the TV's audio continues to function independently for the rest of the family. The optical connection to the TV was simple and the ABC02F paired quickly and easily to the Sony Earbuds. The ABC02F is plugged into a USB port on the TV and is always on so the earbuds are reconnected within the time it takes to remove them from their charger/case and insert them into the ear.

I was using an inexpensive receiver and did not know I was missing so much in the Audio Spectrum. Now everything is top notch! The answer to my Bluetooth Problems.

Interface is simple and basic. Advanced settings are not available in the OSD so you have to use the receiver's. Audio over Bluetooth is good but is not recommended if you care about sound quality (default codec is SBC, AAC if you pair from the phone directly) . You can manually config your audio setup but configurations are not that advanced. Build quality is excellent, didn't expect the price.

I used this box to interface an on-stage Bluetooth audio receiver to the sound system at a week-long conference. It worked great and didn't have any issues!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great little Bluetooth adapter to connect to my audio system. Although my receiver has built-in Bluetooth, it is very finicky to connect to. This unit solved the problem. I like that it has an optical cable connector to make the connection to my receiver.

I bought this about a month ago to replace a 34 year old (!) Sony Stereo receiver. The old one had AM-FM receiver capability. This one only has FM Receiver built-in, but it sounds a lot cleaner than the older model. This one has fewer output jacks than my older one, but is more than adequate for my setup (Sony Stereo Cassette Deck - going on 20 years now also !), and a bluetooth Audio-Technica Record Player. This model also contains the regular size headphone jack AND a standard audio output jack on the front for older style cassette players, walkman's, etc. Very unusual feature but useful for me as I still use some of that older gear from time to time. I primarily bought and use this product for its bluetooth capability which works excellently. I have my phone, and computer able to play music to it through bluetooth. I realize bluetooth specs don't carry the full frequency range for a lot of audio musical pieces (such as classical music), but for the everyday average pop music it's just fine. This is a great entry level unit for a person who is not an audio-phile. I also bought this because of Sony durability in its products. This thing is built like a brick. Good design accents, solid metal frame, heavy duty components. I will always buy Sony products - good balance between cost, design, and functionality. Couldn't be happier with this product.

Very good Bluetooth receiver.

Fixed disconnect-on-Bluetooth and random-disconnect issues I'd had with the original cable AND an Anker replacement.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great! Now, you have a modern TV upgrade, but the audio seems a little off. What can it be? Perhaps, you need a little extra power in your audio? Ding ding, yes! That's what is missing! So, which soundbar should you go for? You may have already spent on your TV, but don't want to go over the budget. Then, look no further, this is the Soundbar [HW-B43M/ZA 2.1ch Soundbar with Dolby Audio] with the proper mix of budget-friendly, connectivity, enjoyable audio, and output power. In terms of connectivity, connect your TV to the Soundbar [HW-B43M/ZA 2.1ch Soundbar with Dolby Audio] via fiber optics (optical) cable. Plus, you can sync your favorite devices, such as mobile, tablets, notebooks/laptops, or any Bluetooth audio\video player to it. I find this very practical because, not only can you watch or stream your favorite shows or movies, but you can also hear your podcasts or music through it. It has crisp and enriching noise levels that were tested with a couple of devices, which is another factor I really like about this unit. Comes bundled with a comfortable and easy-to-use control (batteries included) for adjusting your preferred audio settings and connectivity method. Plus, metal brackets for suspending it from whichever place you prefer. One of my pictures below shows all the things that come with it. Did I even mention that, unlike most soundbars, it comes with a subwoofer? Well, now you know, it does come with a powerful enough subwoofer that can deliver to enhance your theatre-like experience. This Soundbar [HW-B43M/ZA 2.1ch Soundbar with Dolby Audio] definitely does the work of improving audio by a more significant margin. If you have not used a soundbar before, or even if you are planning to upgrade it, this is definitely the one to go for. See it in action in my video!

Product was exactly what I needed to enhance a current 2.1 system. My receiver is able to make this balance well with my full size left and right speakers. Make sure you have a good receiver to drive this. Fills the center sound perfectly. Only complaint is that the grill is not removable. It's glued on, which I found out after pulling it off carefully. But I was able to pop it back on. Size was perfect to fit under my HDTV.
