    It says online only.

  • dan76n on 07/07/2012 - 08:46

    Disregard the $9 shipping as at $29 free shipping it's still the cheapest around.

  • aec on 07/07/2012 - 09:19

    does it only pair with idevices?

    • ThePistonHead on 07/07/2012 - 09:55

      Compatible with all A2DP stereo Bluetooth-enabled devices, including: iPhone 3GS 16GB 32GB iPhone 3G 8GB 16GB iPod touch 2nd Generation 8GB 16GB 32GB 64GB

    • Mikinoz on 07/07/2012 - 10:03

      Anything with bluetooth, ie android, apple, windows etc although windows is the worst for bluetooth pairing

      is that a statement or a question???

  • kspec on 07/07/2012 - 10:37

    is this rechargeable or must always be plugged into powerpoint with adapter?

  • KnownSystemError on 07/07/2012 - 10:39

    Thanks OP. Just bought one.

  • turbodude on 07/07/2012 - 11:04

    Can we assume this is OZ stock and therefore has an Oz plug pack?

  • atlas on 07/07/2012 - 11:23

    How do you buy more than 1?? Separate orders?

      you just open up the page again and click add to cart a second time. It still charges you $9 each for delivery.

    I understand we're up to Bluetooth 4.0. This device is 2.1. Can anyone briefly explain the differences?

    • dustint on 07/07/2012 - 13:10

      well from the jist of it, 4.0 has a faster transfer rate than 2.1's upto 3MB/s… 4.0's transfer rate is now upto 24MB/s.
      I guess bandwidth for audio is more than sufficient at anything above 1MB/s

      • blablabla23 on 07/07/2012 - 13:24

        which means it shouldn't be a problem if you're just streaming mp3s, as the highest birate available is only 320kb per second. But it's another story if you want to stream FLAC files, as it depends on the original "lossless" birate.

        • AlexF on 07/07/2012 - 14:27

          Both will be (re-)compressed over-the-air - A2DP (mandatory and) built-in SBC codec is not high quality - IMO, similar to AM radio. Great for listening to podcasts and music/speech streaming from BT devices.
          Proprietary (ie. non-mandatory, hence not built-in unless advertised) Apt-X which can also be sent within A2DP - this is (supposedly) high fidelity and there are many transceiver devices and (mated) headphones using it.

    I almost bought this logitech one for $39 the other week. http://www.logitechshop.com.au/logitech-wireless-speaker-ada… glad I hesitated!

    Good liitle unit. Shuts off when ther is no signal. Wake up on signal. No connectivity problems.

  • pwalia on 07/07/2012 - 22:13

    Thanks OP, just bought one.

    • Postulative on 08/07/2012 - 09:33

      But they both look soooo tacky.

  • bargrin on 08/07/2012 - 13:55

    I bought a cheap bluetooth reciver via dealextreme, problem with cheap one is a constant "hiss" noise in background also power issue meant need to turn off and on so not to burn out but this shuts off auto apparently.

    For the few dollars you spend on cheap one might invet in one from branded company who make this stuff offically to iron out all bugs i reckon.

    • Mikinoz on 08/07/2012 - 20:34

      You would never buy that over the belkin. The belkin is a fairly good quality device with a good company behind it. It works well

  • k on 10/07/2012 - 22:06

    Is this compaitable with Android devices?

    • atlas on 10/07/2012 - 23:51

      Should be.

  • salem on 23/07/2012 - 17:48

    Bought this. sound is awful on my home theatre connected to my galaxy nexus :( Galaxy nexus sounds great on my car stereo over bluetooth, and the home theatre sounds great when streaming music with my PS3. So I'm pretty sure the belkin is the weak link.

    google found me plenty of complaint threads mentioning the same issue i have - tinny hollow sounding echoey music (although most complaining about it with imacs). Apparently there's a way to force certain imacs to use a higher quality bluetooth format, no idea how to force that on my galaxy nexus.

    I can't get the belkin to connect to my android tablet at all to compare though :/
