Miccus 160ft LONG RANGE Bluetooth Transmitter or Receiver, Adapter to add wireless audio to Stereo Sound System Speakers Amplifier PC Phone Mac Desktop Extender, 3.5mm AUX RCA(Home RTX -2 Yr Warranty)

This review is of the Miccus Home RTX Long Range.First off it come with a wall power pack, usb cable, one rca-rca cable set (for a dvd or stereo to Miccus) and one 3.5mm to rca cable (for tv headphone, smartphone or ipad audio output jack to Miccus audio in). I didn't see a photo of this in lsiting and in the description it is hidden in a line in the middle so I missed it came with this stuff and I had ordered a TV headphone to unit cable and then found one in the box now giving me extra uneeded parts. I have plenty of usb power widgets so that was not a concern. I only wish the ad listing made it clearer it already has everything in the box you would need to hook it up..Setup was easy. Well at first I had a problem but then realized my headphones were still paired with my ipad. So unpair first if your headphones were already in use and I turned Bluetooth off in my ipad so as to not interfere.once that was done and a couple cables plugged in to power and tv headphone out the rest was easy. power unit on by holding on-off 3 seconds, you just don't quickly push this one. then it started flashing red and blue lights, this is the pairing mode. turn on headphones, press button on those. they paired up. pretty easy.As for sound staying in sync, I so no problem. I've watched 4-5 movies now and haven't seen any out of sync lips.Range is good too. With my ipad, the range for me with headphones didn't quite reach to the other end of the house. When going from my room to the kitchen I loose connection a little as I walk around a wall into the kitchen or I could not go all the way to the front of the house. They would sometimes loose connection in spots in the kitchen. With the miccus and same headphones and the tv-miccus transmitter is even a little farther away, no problem going to the kitchen and even farther to the front of the house. I didn't try the front porch yet but that is about the same distance I've already gone. Would be possible to listen to music while I'm out there.Once turned on, I've left the Miccus on. I turn my headphones off, recharge them and next time I turn them on they pair up without having to do anything. I like being able to keep the transmitter always on and always ready so I don't have to walk over to it and press on or other buttons every time I want to watch a program. All I do is hit power on tv remote, put on my headphones and I'm good to go. This makes watching tv when I lay down at night more pleasurable.This so far is the best transmitter I've had. I had a couple of those other smaller ones and they didn't go as far or the sound got out of sync with the video.update: Jan 28th 2014Still working great. Use it every day. Range test: I said before with my headphone just linked to my ipad I could only go about halfway through the house (20 feet or so) before loosing connection. With the same headphones connected to the Miccus and that near the same transmit spot, actually a little farther away, I went down the hall (past the previous cut-off point), out the front door, across the porch, down the stairs and all the way to the mailbox by the road which is 42 feet from the front of the house, and still had audio playing in the headphones just fine. Total distance is over 80 feet and through 3 walls.

PROS:I've used several bluetooth transmitters and receivers over the past few years (including equipment made by some famous brand names like Sony and Blackberry) and this is the first tool which really has the solid range which I need. The specs for the range which are listed in the literature for this device are conservative, I believe. The range will always depend on the sensitivity of the bluetooth receiver, plus the power of the transmitter. In this case, Miccus has made sure that you get 200 feet of transmission range and 45 feet of receiving range when it is paired the weakest A2DP devices out there, and factoring in a wall/floor or two. You do not need to be in the line of sight with the device.The Blubridge Home has a suave design. Those three circles you see on the front are buttons. You press and hold the middle button for three seconds to turn the tool on or off. Once it is on, you can press and hold either the Tx button (left) or Rx button (right) to pair with a foreign bluetooth device. It uses standard bluetooth blink colors (flashes blue and red when pairing, solid blue when connected and receiving, solid red when connected for transmission, flashing red or flashing blue when it is searching for its connection). The lights are in a line inside the case and shine through subtly through the holes and jacks in the back, and the pair of slits along the middle edge of the front.It is powered by USB. It has a mini-usb jack for that purpose in the housing just below the antenna.Included in the package are an AC adapter which delivers power to a standard USB jack, a cable which goes from two RCA plugs to one 1/8th inch audio plug, and a male to male 1/8th inch audio cord about a foot long. I have yet to figure out what they intend that last item to be used for (it would have been more useful, if they had included a female to female 1/8th inch audio adapter).The antenna can be unscrewed and replaced with a larger one if you know where to buy one.________CONS:Only one device can be paired at a time. It cannot transmit and receive at the same time.There is definitely a pulsing background sound which happens if you adjust the volume on the device wrongly.Connected as a transmitter, it will never disconnect from the bluetooth receiver. So if you leave it on after going to sleep, for example, it'll stay on all night long. The upshot of this is that the batteries in the receiver can really get worn out quickly.____________OTHER THOUGHTS:Be aware that this is an A2DP (stereo audio) device ONLY. First generation bluetooth devices used a low quality monaural handshake protocol called HSP (or HFP)... and this is not supported - hence the one or two complaints you see in the reviews here.In addition, be mindful that the output of audio equipment which is designed to send a feed to amplified equipment can be a bit grainy. That sounds good when booming out of speakers (it gives a "breathiness" to the sound which adds a sense of heightened emotion). However, it will sound awful with earbuds or headphones. If you're having this problem, it may help to turn down the volume of the origin of the sound before you transmit it with the Miccus Blubridge Home. This effect can't be said to be the fault of the Miccus device.This tool is supposed to reconnect with the device it has been paired with automatically when it comes into range. I haven't tested this fully because I'm always changing bluetooth devices and needing to re-pair.I've been reading reviews of Miccus bluetooth devices for about a year now, and given the unqualified enthusiasm people seem to have for the company's products, I have faith that this device will serve me well in the coming years._____Weight: 110 gramsSize: 11cm x 6cm x 2.5 cm at its widest points. The antenna is 9cm in length.

Works as described on Amazon.The receiving distance seems to partially depend on the bluetooth device. As an example: with my headphones Share me 7 by Mxcder I can receive on the topfloor of my house through concrete ceilings without any disturbance. With my Denon bluetooth speaker, I have a lot of disturbance.I have perfect signal though in my garden on all deveices. Also if you buy 2, you extend it's distance capacity!Nonetheless it is a super device which works as a receiver and a transmitter of bluetooth-signal which upgrades your receiver or amplifier to the 21st century. I would recommend it to everyone.

Does exactly what I wanted. With this device, a Bluetooth boombox and two audio input splitter switches and a selection of cables, I can listen to my records around the house, while the rest of the family are watching TV or doing their phones. I have connected it in place of the cassette deck via the switch boxes. The dynamic sound response is remarkable, if you adjust the volume of the boombox to a comfortable level while listening to a quiet part of the record, so that the rumble of the turntable is evident, the next loud passage will blow you away!! (Note this as a warning if using headphones)

Funciona muy bien, muy fácil conectarlo con cualquier aparato, el único inconveniente es que va retrasado el sonido con respecto a la imagen pero creo qué pasa con todos los Bluetooth

I have put this through it's paces after buying a previous terrible one from a different supplier and this was fantastic, it done EXACTLY as describedand at a very good price......delivery time was also good.....Recommended.

Big let down having to repair, every time i switch on.if you had fitted a battery you could have given it a memery.the distance althoug not very far meet my reqiurmeantsnow I have got to lookfor some thing better.Mick
