Bluetooth Audio Adapter

I love this product at the first glance. It is stylish, small and easy to setup. I had no problem using it with my cell phone (Moto G). All I did was one-clicking the button on its top and it became visible and pair-able on the phone. However, for my computer, a four-year-old laptop running Win7 with an USB Bluetooth adapter, this audio adapter could only be paired but was not able to be connected successfully as the default playback device. It seemed to me that the USB adapter driver was not up-to-date or having limited functionality, so I checked the chipset of the USB adaptor (in Win7 this can be done by Start->Computer(right-click)->Manage->Device Manager and see the description of the Bluetooth adapter). It said "Broadcom BCM20702 Bluetooth 4.0 USB Device." I went to Broadcom's website [...] to download the latest driver. Everything works great after the new driver installed (the installation process might take some time so be patient). The sound quality is acceptable. The wireless connection is smooth and has no delay. No glitches so far has been noticed while used normally for 3 days (I used it with a distance of 10 feet to the signal source). Some glitches in sound happened when I tried using my laptop to connect and send music signal to the the adapter while the adapter was also receiving and playing music from my cell phone. In other words, I tried to jam myself and I succeeded :P. Since it can only receive signal from one source at a time, do not do such a silly thing like I did if you would like to have a good music experience with this product. Although I had the aforementioned connection problem using the this product, it should not be blamed for the problem. I am so far very satisfied with this product.

Originally purchased in 2017 so this review is extremely overdue. Last house had a huge deck and I had some outdoor speakers and an aging audio receiver sitting around. I made a weatherproof box for the receiver, hooked up the speakers but didn't have a way to get audio to it except to use RCA cables and plug directly into a phone/iPad/iPod, etc. Bought this, connected it via RCA to the receiver and started pairing devices. The first winter I was a good homeowner and put my toys away. After that I stopped taking care of things and left the deck box out year-round. Essentially, this Bluetooth adapter has been sitting outside in a weatherproof deck box since 2018. Fast forward seven (7) years and I don't have a need for it outside anymore but I do have a need indoors. It for sure hasn't been used since 2023. Today I connected it to my computer speakers, plugged it in and heard the familiar power noise. Connected my phone, which has never been used with it, and it works just as good as it always has. Long story, I've had this thing for about eight (8) years, had zero issues, and it still works amazing. It isn't a complicated device. RCA cords or a 3.5mm cable out to your speakers/receiver, push the button on top, and connect your Bluetooth device. You know how the rest works after that. I can't speak on durability if it were to be dropped or get wet but I can say that I haven't been disappointed with it in all the time I've owned it. Sound quality is good. Bluetooth has a good range on it.

Bought, It works now have ny old system up and running again.

Don't compromise on sound, either. The Bluetooth Speaker Adapter is perfectly tuned at Logitech audio labs to deliver high-quality acoustics for all your music, movies and games. --------------------------- SETUP --------------------------- The Logitech Bluetooth audio adapter is a simple little device. The design is simple. The concept is simple. The setup is simple. Using it is simple. All aspects of this device are simple and in my testing, it never failed to function as advertised and it was the second best of the bunch I tested. And with a price of $29.99, it's affordable for most anyone's budget. --------------------------- SOUND QUALITY --------------------------- This tiny thing sounds great for critical listening. It has great channel separation and imaging. It's full bandwidth from high to low; nothing significant is cut off. It's smooth, clean and detailed. For the price, the Logitech Adapter sounds great, I was pleasantly surprised by the device, especially for being so budget friendly. It outperformed the Amped Wireless Long Range Bluetooth Speaker Adapter easily and at half the cost. --------------------------- VERDICT --------------------------- This sounds the close to the same as the Philips AEA2000/37 Bluetooth Hi-Fi Adapter/Receiver (Discontinued) ($28.99) and similar to the HomeSpot NFC-Enabled Bluetooth Audio Receiver - $29.00, but has less noise and slightly better bass response and overall better latency than the HomeSpot. The Logitech has a slight edge of over the Philips AEA2000/37 Bluetooth Hi-Fi Adapter/Receiver (Discontinued) ($28.99) due to its better overall sound depth, accuracy, and lower noise however the latency on both the Logitech and Phillips was exceptional. The Logitech has a greater edge over the HomeSpot NFC-Enabled Bluetooth Audio Receiver mainly to due to the better latency of the Logitech vs the HomeSpot, but also in the overall sound. Here is how I rank the adapters I test, from best to worst; BEST: Audioengine B1 Premium Bluetooth Music Receiver - $189 GOOD: Philips AEA2000/37 Bluetooth Hi-Fi Adapter/Receiver (Discontinued) - $28.99 Logitech Bluetooth Audio Adapter - $29.99 OK: HomeSpot NFC-Enabled Bluetooth Audio Receiver - $29.00 WORST: Amped Wireless Long Range Bluetooth Speaker Adapter - $55

The unit was easy to set up. Following the enclosed instructions, I simply plugged it in to a power outlet, attached it to the 3.5 mm auxiliary port of my Bose Wave Radio, and identified and paired it immediately with my Kindle HDX. To test out the quality and range of the Bluetooth signal, I began listening to an Audible audio book, then switched to Prime Music. Later, I listened to some of my favorite radio shows on Tune-In. No drop-outs. No hiss. No static. Everything was clear and perfect. I highly recommend this product. In addition to trying the Logitech Bluetooth Audio Adapter with my Bose radio, I also plugged the Logitech into a set of powered Yamaha speakers plus sub-woofer (Model YST-MS50, manufactured in 1998) that I had stored in the basement and had not used for about 10 years. As stated on the box, the Logitech will work directly with powered speakers as long as the speakers have a 3.5 mm auxiliary input. No need to hook them up to a PC or tuner. Imagine my amazement when beautiful, full sound from some music on my Kindle passed through the Logitech Bluetooth and emerged from these old Yamaha speakers. Believe me, I had given up on these speakers! I also discovered the Logitech Bluetooth Audio Adapter has good, solid range-- definitely in excess of 30 feet. To see about the signal strength, I tested the Bluetooth Adapter in an old Queen Anne style house, built around 1910, with thick plaster and lathe walls, leaded glass windows, and thick doors that inhibit Bluetooth signals. The signal from other Bluetooth devices that I own (from Belkin and Monoprice, which are otherwise good units) barely reaches 18 feet from the third floor to the second in this house. With the Logitech Bluetooth Adapter, no signal problem! As a test, I set up my Kindle HDX on my desk on the third floor, playing an Audible Book and broadcasting through Bluetooth. I got a clear Bluetooth signal through my Bose radio, downstairs at 32 feet away. I want to emphasize that it was not "line of sight." The radio was down the stairs, through the second floor hallway, and all the way through two closed doors to the front of the house and into another room!

Liked the 1st unit so I bought a second one for my man cave stereo. Auto connects flawlessly.

Logitech BT adapter is applied to older powered speakers with no builtin bluetooth capability. No issues on bluetooth connectivity with iphone 13 on finding the BT adapter. This adapter works great with the powered speakers-audio is a good as wired connection. This adapter has allowed older speakers to work once again and to be placed anywhere within bluetooth range. Range is very good-depending on obstructions-noted. No issues with any of Logitech accessories with a computer--all work very well for their function.

UPDATE: It would appear that my review was based on the device I tested it with, a Samsung Galaxy Note 3. Other devices appear to auto-connect and auto-play, which would annoy the living snot out of me... I'm changing my review to three stars to reflect it as such, please ignore the comments about Auto-connect & Auto-play. I'm leaving them in for historical sake & completeness of the original review. TL;DR: Fantastic bluetooth adapter for non-bluetooth powered speakers or receivers. Detail: I'm a very picky person when it comes to technology. (Some might call me a technology snob and I would not disagree with them...) This also means I'm very demanding of the electronics purchases I make. For me to give out a five star review for a piece of electronics, it mean's it's pretty darn good. Setup - Dead simple. Plug in the power cord (about approximately 4 feet of wire on the adapter) and plug in the included cable (a RCA to 3.5mm cable). Pairing - Pairing the phone is easy and intuitive. Press the button on the top of the adapter and you'll hear a beep over the speakers and the blue light on the bottom of the adapter will blink. On you device, use the bluetooth settings to find and pair to the adapter. It shows up as "Logitech BT Adapter" in your list. Once paired, you'll get a quick beep-beep to indicate successful pairing. Sound - It's Bluetooth 3.0. You're probably streaming some 192kbps stream from one of the many available sources on the interwebs... It's not going to sound "amazing", but it's very clear and there is no tinny noise that can accompany poor bluetooth protocol implementations. Most people will consider the sound "amazing", but I'm definitely too much of an audio-snob to classify it as such. We'll call it "very good". ;o) Bluetooth Range: I have this setup in the living room and kitchen area on my house. Line of sight is probably about 30-35 feet if I stand as far away as possible. With line of sight, you'll get perfect sound. Stick it in your pocket or let things get between you and the receiver once you go beyond 20 feet and you're asking for trouble. Now, be aware that this is usually due to the device you are TRANSMITTING from, and not the receiver. Modern phones do have strong bluetooth strength since they expect to be transmitting to close by devices (headset, car stereo, etc.) I tested this with a Note 3. Features Not Mentioned: NO AUTO-CONNECT!!! Thank you Logitech! Now, this is personal preference, but I DO NOT want my phone to connect with the adapter every time I am in range. I like that I need to select it from the Bluetooth menu to get it to reconnect. It lets ME control the connection. Don't try to figure out what I want... let me decide. NO AUTO PLAY: Now, this may be specific to my phone & the adapter, but I REALLY like that even once i connect to the adapter, it doesn't try to auto-play the last paused track or audiobook I was listening to. It allows me to start it when I'm ready. This is personal preference and I do not know how this works with iOS devices, as it may have different behavior. At least on Android, it meets my preferred implementation. RCA outputs: Many of the bluetooth adapters you'll find on Amazon are only 3.5mm output to whatever device (speakers or receiver) you are connecting to. Logitech gives you a choice, either RCA or 3.5mm. This is a big detail and worth the extra cost in my opinion. For many it will not matter, but if you're connecting to a receiver, this is the preferred way to go. I make my own RCA cables, so I used that to connect it to an input on the Onkyo TX-NR616 receiver.

Arrived on time. Present for hubby he likes it a lot.

Adaptador Bluetooth para conectar em aparelhos mais antigos, muito útil! Chegou dentro do prazo.

Gracias a este dispositivo mi antigua cadena HIFI se ha transformado en un sistema wireless. Su instalación no puede ser más sencilla: conexión a la red eléctrica y otra hacia la entrada AUX del amplificador. Basta con activar el bluetooth del móvil y en 2-3 sgs todo funciona. La calidad de sonido me parece buena

Easy to set up, and a great way to link a blue tooth device to an older audio system. Downside is that the blue tooth is very dominant, and has a habit of connecting so quickly as to squeeze out other devices.

It saved a lot of my money as i wanted Bluetooth connectivity for my home-theater. I checked the models in market and also shortlisted 2 - 3, which would have cost me nearly 40,000 rs. However, it just my mind, why not check if a adapter is available which convert my existing home-theater into Bluetooth enabled one. To my luck, i found description of this product in one of US website, and luckily the same was available in India too, because of Amazon. I am happy. the device does it job, sound is better than before and the wireless range is also quite good, i can easily go out of room with my phone, without affecting the sound...
