It paired pretty easily. I don't know if my particular product is defective, but after a few seconds to a minute, the sound starts breaking up. I have tried it with a few different sound sources and the result is always the same.
Also, sometimes it pairs immediately, sometimes you have to try a few times. It says in the poorly-written manual that it will pair automatically to the same device next time which it never does.This is quite a surprise.
I was looking for a Bluetooth transmitter to beam my AppleTV audio to my wife and me at the bedroom. We love to watch through our projector on the bedroom wall but because it is late at night we are always worried of the volume of the sound. Our three kids are in the next room, and also a friend of my wife who is renting a room from us is a nurse and has to wake up early to go to work. The solution I thought is a wireless speaker that we can put just next to us on the bed which we can control the volume.
I don't like to spend so much and the price of this BT transmitter seems just right. When I received it, I was impressed that it is practically a nano in size.
Just then I got worried realizing that I have to pair it with speakers without an LCD screen. I have paired tens of Bluetooth devices but they are all with an iPhone, iPod Touch, iPads and Windows PC. All via a display screen giving me a feedback when it is paired. The manual is a bit klunky with broken English I wasn't sure if the intruction is accurate. All I understand is first put the receiving BT device in paring mode, then the transmitter to a pairing mode and it will automatically connect. I did that and right away the transmitter's blue LED started blinking every 2 seconds meaning the pairing was succesful. But my Ecoxgear speaker remains in pairing mode, no audio coming out. Frustrated, I went dowstairs to get a drink of water. Just then I heard my Bose iPod dock (equipped with a Pyle BT receiver) playing music. I realized what happened. I unplugged the BT receiver from the dock and started the pairing process again with the Ecoxgear. Voila!
At first it was choppy, the movie played but the audio is coming and going. Initially, the speaker was placed next to my wife while she was ironing clothes. That was easily fixed when I moved the speaker to another location. Now it is perfect.
