  • TEER3X on 01/01/2025 - 13:59

    Is there any way I can use this to trick my tv to send Bluetooth to two seperate bt headphones at the same time?

    I think the tv has the option to send audio via wired connection and Bluetooth simultaneously.

    • Clear on 01/01/2025 - 14:00

      Seems this one isn't capable of sending to two BT headphones at the same time.

    • Everettpsycho on 01/01/2025 - 14:03

      3.5mm splitter and a pair of these would probably get the job done.

      • TEER3X on 01/01/2025 - 16:48

        Good idea, I'll try that. Already have a splitter and currently using that, but would prefer wireless.

        • bleeder on 01/01/2025 - 22:05

          Why do you prefer wireless?

        • bio on 02/01/2025 - 11:02

          Connect the splitter to your TV and buy 2 of these. It will be still (mostly) wireless.

    • caprimulgus on 01/01/2025 - 14:05

      There are transmitters that have dual-link to send to two headphones. Or, use a splitter and two of these!

      Edit: oh, if your TV can do Bluetooth and headphone out at the same time, it should work just using one of these.

    • DeepDreamer on 01/01/2025 - 14:09

      Buy three of these. BT source -> this adapter in RX mode -> headphone splitter cable -> 2x this adapter in TX mode -> 2x BT headphones

    • Namidairo on 01/01/2025 - 14:19

      I'd have concerns about the latency if you used one of these with a TV, especially if you tried to mix it with the inbuilt bluetooth.

      You'd never get the latency compensation for the inbuilt bluetooth (automatic) to line up with the latency adjustments (manually in the settings) you'd need to do for the wired one with transmit dongle attached?

      • TEER3X on 01/01/2025 - 16:49
        +1

        I bought two so I'll try with one using Bluetooth and the other inbuilt Bluetooth and if the latency doesn't match, then I'll use two connected to a y splitter as suggested above.

        Thanks for the suggestion.

  • dufflover on 01/01/2025 - 14:04

    Does this one remember the last paired device? Most do and I kinda expect that, but it would be good to have one to share between two people/phones who want to use a set of (old non-BT) speakers.

  • Lord Ra on 01/01/2025 - 14:22

    Silly question - can I use this for an aircraft? With a stereo adapter?

    • brokenglish on 01/01/2025 - 14:35

      If the plane has 3.5mm jack then yes

      • Lord Ra on 01/01/2025 - 14:44
        +1

        It usually has the dual 3.5mm jacks. So I can use an adapter, convert the 2 into 1, plug this in, then transmit from the aircraft via BT to my headset. Right?

        • spaceflight on 01/01/2025 - 14:48
          +2

          Yes.

          And some planes may have the dual headphone connector however the sockets may also support stereo so you may not always need an adaptor

          • kiitos on 02/01/2025 - 08:16

            @spaceflight: Also, at least some airlines supply 3.5mm headphones with an adaptor to 2 pin that you can remove so you could use that adaptor.

          • marcozmitch on 01/01/2025 - 15:28

            @spaceflight: It seems there is a conflict between the USER manual (date free information) stating "Working range :10M
            Bluetooth version： 5.3" and the (possibly earlier manual from earlier model) , stating "Bluetooth

              @sam buster: Seems to be more of a vague opinion piece than any sort of objective comparison. And the fact they consider high-res audio as remotely important is a red flag for their credibility.

              There's also nothing stopping a manufacturer including both standards, with LE Audio just being used for low latency purposes only.

        Quite possibly. These often use JieLi chipsets that are quite capable. If I were a gambling man, I'd say the odds are at least 3:1 that you could plug it your computer and connect it to your headphones.

        Making a bluetooth audio bridge (what you describe in your second point) could be a bit harder. But still possible.

        • AsukaST on 01/01/2025 - 15:26

  • greenie4242 on 01/01/2025 - 16:21

    I wonder if two of these could be set up as a sender/receiver to hook a TV through its headphone jack to a speaker system.

    Instruction manual says something about selecting "anko43363803" as the Bluetooth audio source, so probably not.

    Also wonder if it functions while permanently plugged into USB-C. I have a bunch of annoying gadgets that can't function while charging.

    • mmrazz on 01/01/2025 - 16:30

      Works fine while charging.

      The bit about selecting anko* is only when it's in receiver mode. If you were using it in transmitter mode it'll just connect to the first BT device it sees, so as long as your speaker is in pairing mode it should just connect to it.

  • mmrazz on 01/01/2025 - 16:28
    +11

    Not marked down at my local store, but did scan for $5 so grabbed one.

    Very basic, but seems to work fine. Only Codec that's supported appears to be SBC. Latency is what you'd expect for SBC - it's visible but probably not enough for you to care about, so it'll work OK on a plane/etc, but not perfectly.

    USB-C, which is for powering/charging only. Computer doesn't detect it at all when plugged in.

      Every time I want to return on Amazon, they charge me $8 to send the item back, which if in your case, meant I would get a $0 refund after returning the item.

        Kmart is a shame.

        I should not trust your Click to Collect because you do not deliver. I have lost 2 good deals because your attitude is unprofessional. Although the product was available when I placed the order, I trusted their Click to Collect instead of going to the store directly. As a result, the order was canceled, and I do not have the product.
        What a horrible company.

        • INFIDEL on 02/01/2025 - 14:54

          You must be a novice CLEARANCE stock shopper!

          It's always a gamble, no matter what the store. Especially so with clearance stock during a sale period!!

          product was available when I placed the order

          It may not have been available! But showed it was at that time. Most stores have a delay in updating stock levels online.
          There is a big difference!!

          When you order for C&C, there is a delay before the item is searched for in store.

          If the product is on the shelf, but sold to other customers before staff find it - may be no product for you. Same as if you went into a store.

          Stock systems are unreliable & not necessarily up to date - in all stores.
          People / staff place items in wrong place. Staff then can't find item that is showing on their store's system. Staff then learn not to be bothered & don't thoroughly check.

          Went to only store in area showing stock of a popular clearance product. I was lucky - staff member helped me find it… down back of shelves.
          C&C staff haven't got the time or inclination to do that for an online order!

          Solutions:

          Savvy shoppers ring the store to have stock put aside for them. It still shows as in stock, but is actually at the service counter! Ensures your item!

          OnePass has an Express C&C delay of 2hr. But has been next day recently. Will still be cancelled if not found.
          Just used it for this purchase. But with over 8k clicks… may be out of stock. So also placed free delivery order to be sure.
          Ordering for delivery means it may be sourced from any distant stores in your State. Increasing your odds

          Celebrate your minor wins🎉
          Rather the whinge about the inevitable losses with popular CLEARANCE stock!

    Does anyone have suggestions of what I need to look for in buying another Bluetooth transmitter that minimises this delay?
    Do the headphones need to support any specific feature for low latency?
    Any suggestions for a specific device?

    • INFIDEL on 02/01/2025 - 15:03

        • johnnygolden on 03/01/2025 - 02:28

          You need both your headphones and the transmitter to support low latency codecs which makes it tricky. I eventually gave up and bought Avantree gear, they specialise in TV headphones and sell matching transmitters + cans.

      • jakentta on 03/01/2025 - 12:50

        I have a newish Sony TV and Sony BT headphones, and depending on "something" there sometimes is a delay, sometimes not. I think it's to do with the sound mode on the TV, or having the headphones in some specific mode, possibly in one that allows pairing with two devices. Enough to drive me mad though, as the headphones seem to reset and default their settings every now and then. And because the TV settings are specific to each input and I swap between using external speakers and the BT headphones. Just never seems to be right.
