Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Yamaha rx-395 receiver and boston acoustic hd8 speakers. Logitech adapter will connect automatically to any device that gets in range that has connected to it in the past. For $20, get to keep my stereo and connect it via bluetooth from my phone.

There is a faint blue light that blinks on the front, but it is so subtle that you won't even notice it in a dark room unless you are looking right at it. It works great if you're in or around the same room! Works very well.

It connects flawlessly and had decent range. It’s a little more pricey than others but works very well and has a solid connection. To me that is a plus, since i want it to always be available to connect to, but not commandeering my phone.



Cons

Connecting to your stereo via bluetooth is a pain. Can't connect to a samsung tablet even though i used it the day before. The dc connector is a part of the pc board. Cleaning the connector does not fix the problem.

The company is willing to send me a 3rd replacement, but honestly i'm done with this now. I can't seem to contact seller either to request a return (i'm not sure it that's an amazon thing or not) do not buy.
