Finally a real video. Like 80% of videos on this topic are are those gimmick videos that just show a bunch or low quality images and a robot voice running on... in hopes that you'll click their affiliate links. Good review!
Thank you ! I can't stand those videos either. I only report on devices that I actually use in "real life" BTW... I still swap out and use these old devices today. Again thank you. Cheers
No hookups from a TV with only optical/TV speakers choices to use a bluetooth headset? Some like silent listening and we're suppose to use a transmitter-type device to send wireless to the headset/earbuds.
Hello mate, how do the devices pair? My output speaker only have a headphone out. My bluetooth headphones are just a receiver with no screen. How can I select the BT headphone to the trasmitter with no visual interface?
I'm looking for a unit that does RX and TX at the same time, in other words,a BT extender; in this case i want to extend the range of my solar BMS to my cellphone, they must talk to each other continuously, both ways; is there such a thing?
5:24 my super guess is that the light will annoy a good sleep.. I think it's well thought out to hide the status light think about a very dark room and previous lights flashing, now that won't be a problem..
Question I have a non Bluetooth metal detector with a headphone jack. I want a to go Bluetooth. So which transmitter will work with any Bluetooth headphones?
I do have a question... So the setting is: I have a surround system without bluetooth, my TV has only digital audio input (SPDIF) and also no bluetooth. Can I manage the setup like: playing music or a video on my phone through bluetooth to the transmitter so everything plays on the surround system or visa versa? I'm a bit confused on what I can do.
my dad ordered me the same Anker Bluetooth speaker and when it came and when I connected it to my Echo Dot it started messing up and it had to do with Alexa not saying the full title of the song
What if you have 2 devices one acts as transmitter and one acts as receiver will they connect with each other? I want to connect my tv wirelessly to my bose sound system ( regarding the first unit in the video)
Thanks for sharing bro. This is what I need. So if I have the transmitter one on my TV, and the other receiver one on my audio mixer or audio speaker, will they pair each other?
You need to find out what type of audio outputs your tv has. 3.5mm, RCA, optical. Then decide what adapter will work for you . get the ANKER if you can. IMO
Hi, Maybe you can help me: my parents would like to have bluetooth headphones for watching TV - so I need a bluetooth transmitter. But do they always have to plug/unplug the transmitter when they want to watch TV with the integrated speaker, and NOT with the headphones? All the best, Julia
Just a question: What happens when you are using a portable mp3 player that does not have Bluetooth and you want to play on a 1990's/2000's component system that also does not have Bluetooth? Do you get TWO of these Transmitter/Receivers and pair them together?
I have the first one. I plug it into my Amp and listen on headphones - works awesome. The only issue I have is when I use in transmitter mode to play spotify I only get sound from my left speaker. Otherwise I love it
Yes. Check out this video.. th-cam.com/video/nEqR7fqFmkI/w-d-xo.html ... Using the 1/4" to 3.5mm adapter may be the way to go, if your keyboard has a headphone out jack, your golden. Cheers
Some of the newer ones will TX to two speakers at the same time, however depending on the devices there may be latency between the two spks. The Best system I have seen is the JBL Flip5. Where you pair one Flip5 to another, you get zero latency.
I ordered the first, small taotronics transmitter last night, based on your review in an earlier video. I only want this to watch tv with my AirPods. I ordered 2 other brand ones that have annoying latency. So you say that one has almost none. Is it the same or any better with the bigger taotronics one in the middle of this video? Or are they the same do you think, in that regard? Thanks in advance.
Did not get a straight answer from TaoTronics, they just sent a link to purchase from the Tao... www.taotronics.com/products/tt-ba014-bluetooth-transmitter-receiver?_pos=1&_sid=66811abf5&_ss=r&variant=31138063843381 Hope this helps. BTW.. that Anker unit is very good as well.
@@breakerbroke23 I'm doing a Bluetooth ipod mod so I need something really small that I can just gut and put in there and I've heard the taotronics is the best so I've been looking for it but haven't been able to find it anywhere besides eBay and their own website
Just got off the phone with Tao CS and they said they are doing some new marketing whit Amazon and had no idea when you would see the 014 back on that site. I asked if they are discontinuing the 014 and they said no. So you can still buy from Tao's web site. That would be the best way to go VS eBay IMHO. Good luck with your project. Mike
This device is what I use in a fixed install on my TV. ( RTX Pro, Long Range Bluetooth 5.1RTX Pro, Long Range Bluetooth 5.1 amzn.to/36TbQYI ) NOTE.... The amazon reviews are a mixed batch, some of them are from a previous model. They do not reflect current device. Mine works flawless. Give it a try, if you don't like... send it back. I have had to send other brands back, and those devices never made it to review. Best thing bout amazon? their return policy. IMO Cheers.
I want to connect my bluetooth earphones to a through adapter and then connect that to a laptop using the aux. I want to talk and hear..which device should I use ?
Explain a through adapter, not sure what you mean. If you want to output music/voice from computer, to BT transmitter then transmit to you BT Earphones. Then I would use the Anker. You would use a 3.5mm aux cord to plug the Anker to your laptops headphone jack.
I have not filmed the review for this device yet, but I will say this unit is outstanding. I have grown very fond of this device..... Check it out amzn.to/3cj4Wv2 Great range, almost zero latency, understand low latency can also depend on what you are transmitting to ie. the soundbar. Video on this unit is coming out in the next few days..... Cheers
Subscribed to your channel and you really helped me decide what I should be getting. Things are really hard to get in my country but since you cover most of the models and stuff helped me decide what I need to get. I recently bought a Logitech Z625 THX certified but it lacks the BT functionality so I'm tied up between the Logitech BT Receiver as well as the TaoTronics one but since the TaoTronics is a bit cheaper and offers more functions than the Logitech which is just RCA supported and needs to be plugged in all the times so I'm going for the TaoTronics which is far better in terms of features and price. You also mentioned in your other video that Logitech left and right channel separation is not that good and it's more like a center stage experience once connected with the device so my question is does TraTronic has better left and right channel separation and how's the overall sound quality?
Yes the Anker and TT014 would work, however I don't recommend using BT when playing instruments, to much latency. (IMHO). You could see if it works for you, its a 50/50 deal and has a lot to do with how your headphones match up to the transmitter.
What one of thease devices whould you recomend for a orginal Ipod? As I would like to use my wireless headphones with my Ipod insted of the torsional headphones.
I believe they are all manufactured in Chy-Na. A few are "designed in America" but manufactured over seas. I do of one company that "assembles in the US" but I don't think they have any BT product. www.schiit.com/
UPDATE... Well Edwina, now you have peaked my interest, I understand all of the BT and DSP "chips" are made in china, so at this point any device MADE IN USA would just be "assembled" in USA. So as I'am looking around the interweb for a BT device made in USA, I found ZIP, Not A. So I am like McIntosh! yea they are all US hype. I found their model MB20 BT transceiver, all hyped to be #1 in looking through the product info there is no mention of Built/designed in USA, however in the manual, in fine print they state...

Could you please advice on how to connect multiple headphones to a bluetooth transmitter? e.g. 10 people can listen to a music at the same time?
Most of the Transmitters that I know of only allow you to pair TWO spks or headphones.

I think these are much the same as far as latency. Keep in mind the latency is also dependent on the input device (TV) feeding the transmitter.
@@breakerbroke23 Thanks for the reply. I’m not really very techie. I just will be plugging it into a Philips LED smart TV.

the first taotronic receiver broke in 3 months
I was trying to watch but the advertisements took control of your video
Got to love GOOGLE. They do the ads on my unmonetized videos as well.
The first one sucked for me. Doesn't sync with audio and picture perfectly.
For TV you need to look for transmitters marked "Low Latency" however that is not always the case as some are better that others and some speakers and headphone dont play well with some transmitters. Especially lower end product.
Sometimes you need to try different combinations to see what works best.
For music... they all play well together.

The first device is a transmitter OR receiver, NOT a transmitter and receiver. Big difference.
It actually does both.
@@joeytramley62 but not at the same time, it can only either transmit or it can only receive.
@@johnbelsham8698 correct
