(More customer reviews)This handy little device allows you to transfer audio from your Bluetooth device and output it to another source (i.e. a home theater system). This allows for convenience when you want to play your MP3 collection through your home theater system, but don't want to go through the hassle of hooking up wires. The setup of this device is quite simple; just plug up the device using the A/C adapter plug one end of the included audio cable to the adapter, and the other in to the "Audio in" plug on the device you want to transfer the sound to. Then just pair your device (provided it's compatible) using the connect button on the adapter and then searching for devices using your Bluetooth enabled device. Once your device recognizes the adapter, just connect to it and enter the code of 0000 if asked. When the light on the adapter turns green, that means you are successfully connected and ready to enjoy some wireless music.
However, I have been unsuccessful in getting this device to work with my Samsung Captivate (AT&T's version of the Galaxy S). While I'm able to pair the two devices with no problem, all I ever get on my phone is a "paired, but not connected" message. I have verified that this phone does have the required services needed for Bluetooth audio, but for some reason this Logitech wireless adapter and the Samsung Galaxy S just do not play well together. Many attempts to contact Logitech technical support have been unsuccessful and I have given up on trying to get this to work properly with my phone.
To be fair however, this device does work great with my laptop which has a Bluetooth dongle attached. I have tested it on using Winamp, as well as some Youtube videos and the sound is wirelessly transferred to my home theatre speakers. I noticed no sound degradation with either but of course at higher volumes you may start to notice some distortion. However with my receiver I didn't recognize any.
My only complaint is that it is not compatible with all capable Bluetooth audio devices as the description would have you to believe and I have yet to find a simple list of compatible (or incompatible) devices on the web and for now it looks to be simply trial and error. Because of the lack of documentation on supported manufacturers and/or devices, all I can tell you is that it works fine if it's compatible with your device. However it's quite possible that it won't work and you will have to end up returning it.
If it worked with my phone, it would easily be a 4 star product, but due to the sort of misleading advertisement of its compatible with virtually any device and the lack of documentation regarding supported and non-supported devices, I have to knock it down to a 3.
