This was a bit of an impulse buy on Prime Day, seeing as the price had been dropped, but I'm happy to say I've been very impressed with it.The fact you can plug it into the mains or through USB offers more options, plus the great ease I had in connecting all of my devices to it was a huge plus. The connection remains stable too. Sound quality is fine for me. I dare say there are better options at a higher price, but personally I am satisfied with it. The bass kicks, the highs snap etc. The one thing I feel I must mention is that I did have to raise the volume a little more than I would usually to get the level I wanted. But this is not a big deal for me. My amp can go quite high.In summary: It's compact, easy to connect to with a stable connection and has a more than decent sound quality. The price? Well as I said, I got it on sale, so in the end it's more about how much you're prepared to pay for it.

My 3 year old Bluetooth DAB Hi Fi system developed a fatal fault and couldn't be repaired and The price of a replacement was totally outrageous considering what I paid for the original. So I re-installed my trusty Kenwood Component Hi Fi, carefully stored in the attic only I left the Cassette player in its box! The sound quality was amazing and it was while searching for another Bluetooth Hi Fi that I accidentally came across a page full of Bluetooth Audio Adaptors.After reading through the product reviews of several I opted for the esinkin and placed my order along with a set of Cable Mountain 0.5m High Quality RCA connectors.I have to say that this is by far the one of the niftiest bit of kits I have ever purchased. Simple to install and so easy to connect, so far I have individually connected with my phone, my PC, Laptop and tablet, using the 'Aux' setting on the Hi Fi. The audio Jack on the front of the esinkin box also allows you to connect an iPod or similar music player.The playback quality is excellent, purists may say otherwise, but for someone like me it sounds no different to the very expensive Bluetooth Hi Fi that went belly up.I have given this a 5 star rating because it is deserving of that. It looks good and although it glows blue when powered up it is not really that noticeable, normally it sits at the side of the Hi Fi and is permanently connected to power, but I have placed it on the top so that you can get a feel for the size and looks.Great little gizmo and great value when you consider that a new Bluetooth Hi Fi would have set me back at least 10 times the cost of the esinkin. Bluetooth adaptor, it has breathed new life into my Kenwood and saved me money on a replacement system.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good bit of kit - but how do you change the name of the second one?

First one of these I bought and setup was nice and simple. It lets me push the audio from my old PC via Bluetooth to different rooms around my house. So much neater than having cables everywhere. Big bonus for me is it lets me reuse old speakers and HiFi systems I already had without having to replace them.Setup has been simple. Happily remembers settings when power is off.The main problem I have found is what happens when you have more than one. It would be good if they had a more unique device name, or some way of changing the name. On the Win10 PC I am using both of these come up as "Esinkin BT Adapter". I have attempted to hack Win10's registry to attempt to rename them so I can tell them apart. Trouble is this doesn't stick and is lost on a reboot or next time they connect.EDIT: Three years later, July 2020 I add a note. I had almost forgotten about these little devices as they work so well. The PC pushes the audio to two sets of speakers connected to these elsewhere in the house. And they work so well. I just swap the speaker output on the Win10 PC and the music plays in the Kitchen or Bedroom from the main media centre PC. (Kitchen going through three thick Victorian walls) So simple, so excellent.I see reviews complaining about crackles and duff power supplies. But I also see 1600+ happy reviews. We can't all be fake reviewers. Maybe a few unlucky purchasers with duff kit. At the cost these have been brilliant.And LEDs too bright? That is what gaffa tape \ blu-tack is for.All the best kit is the stuff you forget about because it "just works". Excellent purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Reliable connectivity.

This is an excellent device. Easy to connect up and to connect to and has been working flawlessly for a couple of weeks.

Ok let's start. If you have upgraded your smart TV to the latest model you will have noticed there is no RCA, optical, or jack plug ports. . That's when I had a problem. Because I have an old Sony amplifier which does have hdmi but not hdmi. Arc ( audio return channel.) so I was unable to get sound out from TV to my amp & speakers. So I bought a Bluetooth device with RCA, optical, and coaxial ports. ( Not this one) This was advertised by seller as send & receive signals. So I thought great. It arrived and I plugged it into my receiver and paired it to my tvs Bluetooth. No joy it would not go into recieving mode. I tried everything but no. I contacted the seller and they said it does not receive. I told them that it was advertised as such so the product is not fit for purpose. They said sorry would you like me to show you how to set it up!!. Any way I sent the product back and bought this little beauty. In less that 5 minutes from plugging in and pairing to my TV Bluetooth I had sound booming out my speakers in 5.1 sound. Also paired with my phone with ease. So there you have it. At £15 it worth every penny and will solve your advanced technology problems( for now) until they bring out something else!
