Dac With Ldac Bluetooth Transmitter

Highly versatile and compact Bluetooth Receiver/Transmitter with built-in DAC. It has separate optical input and outputs and a dual-use coax line. The Bluetooth connectivity is solid but it might take a few tries with older Bluetooth equipment. Once you're connected, it stays connected. Highly recommended!

Noise canceling headphones always involve compromises. First, Bluetooth is a compressed format - no matter what manufacturers would like us to believe. Within Bluetooth there are various codecs to contend with each having their own limitations. Last, there is the amount of actual noise canceling available. This is the second Sony noise canceling headset I've owned. I also have the WH-1000M2. For this review I will compare the M5 with the Shure Aonic 50. The Sony offers all codecs except aptX. Why? Apparently they are promoting LDAC their proprietary codec. Your player may not support this so beware. Also it connecting to more than one device (phone and music player) it will default to AAC even if both devices support LDAC. The Shure phones can support LDAC on two devices. Sony has always offered superior noise reduction. I just used them on two 3 hour flights recently. They were excellent except that they switched out of noise reduction mode with me iPhone 14 Pro Max a couple of times. Not sure whether it was the phone or the Sony's. In comparing the music response between the Sony's and Shure's, to my ear the Shure's have the edge. I used jazz, classical and rock selections. The Sony has a little more bass response, but the Shure has more transparency in the high end. Nevertheless, the Sony noise reduction is far superior to the Shure. Sony now offers automatic noise reduction depending on ambient noise. It seems to work very well. It does offer a chat mode which will automatically turn off noise reduction when you speak. This seems to work well unless there is a lot of ambient noise. For telephone use the Sony works very well. Stopping starting the music as expected. Sound quality is very good. I don't have any reservations in recommending the Sony's.

I love this bluetooth transmitter! I lets me use ANY device with an earphone jack to play good music through my good sounding bluetooth speaker. It reconnects automatically too, so all I have to do is turn the devices on and listen. Kudos!

I'm using this to connect my rear projector and sound system wirelessly. I was using so far bluetooth based transmitter receiver which was providing low sound quality lagging and breaking. This one works simply out of the box, no setup needed, and quality is high. The only down side is that some simple audio connectors are missing, but I used those of my previous set.

Paired easily to my bluetooth transmitter then paired to my other Philips speaker very easily. Good range and great sound

When teamed with a BlueSENSE Bluetooth audio transmitter, I've got great sound anywhere in my house. Easy to set up and great sound with my Yamaha receiver and CD player!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Set up was fairly easy and I was able to pair different types of Bluetooth headphones so that's a great win. The sound will obviously vary depending on the Bluetooth speakers or headphones you are using. I didn't notice any latency but your results could be different to mine. As you can see from the images that I have added the transmitter is very minimalistic and almost takes up no space at all. The transmitter will do only that transmit. For volume controls, you will have to rely on the volume control or your Bluetooth device.

These work perfectly at a distance of 43 feet from the bluetooth transmitter (Aluratek ABCD54F Switchable Bluetooth Audio Transmitter and Receiver) and are plenty loud with a good sound for a room used for ping pong. As long as I turn them ON after I've switched ON the transmitter, everything happens effortlessly. Very pleased.

Using a LG V20 phone that supports LDAC streaming Spotify premium. The sound is amazing via these headphones. I own many expensive headphones, Amps and Dacs. This headphone replaced all my headphones I used to use when going out and about. Still not match for my Sony Z1R but Sony will get there hopefully in the future with bluetooth technology. Thank you Sony you make the best headphones in the World hands down and I heard and used many many headphones.
