My TV has Bluetooth but I think it radiates from the back of the set. My hearing aids were paired with it but reception was terrible sitting in the living room trying to listen to TV. Strangely, it was great in the bedroom behind the TV - through the wall.I hoped I'd be able to pair my hearing aids with this device and it turned out to be very easy to do. The reception is amazing - all over the house, not just in front of the TV.

I live in an apartment and often use noise canceling headphones connected to my PC through bluetooth. Bought this to get a better quality connection in areas of my place where the sound was cutting off. Initially, this thing completely eliminated the sound cutoffs in one area and improved the connection in my most problematic area but not by as much as I was hoping for. However, after realizing I could move this device as far away from my PC as the usb cord length allows, moving it 3 feet closer in the direction of my most problematic area completely eliminated the sound cutoffs there.PC setup was easy. Connect via usb and make sure your PC audio settings display CSR Audio Dongle as a connected bluetooth device. I just followed the instructions in the included manual. I'm on Windows 11 if that helps.Before, I couldn't use my headphones wirelessly with my Denon receiver because the bluetooth connection was terrible. As an unexpected bonus, this device solved that problem as well. The connection between my headphones and my receiver is great now.One big negative I must mention is a very distracting sound delay when you're watching video. Someone's lips move, and then you hear the sound after a noticeable delay. This may be a deal breaker for someone who mainly wants to watch movies or TV while connected through this device.So far, so good after initial setup and testing. I'll update my review if something significant happens later after extended use.

Neat little unit allowing use of headphones to pick up dialogue in films without disturbing the neighbours.

I like to use bluetooth headphones with noise cancelling when using the computer, but using a bluetooth dongle on the PC is prone to various issues resulting in the headphones inevitably glitching out after a couple hours of use. I bought this to bypass Window's Bluetooth implementation and it solved all my issues. The BT signal is crazy strong and can easily get 30' range indoors and probably a lot more outside without obstructions sapping the signal.I plugged this into the PC headphone port (headphone amplifier connected to the PC, actually) and it works like a champ - super fidelity and range is easily 3x the range I got with the PC adapter I was using previously. Pairing was a concern, but it's easy. Just make sure you don't have any other bluetooth devices around (or turn bluetooth off on those devices) the transmitter will pair with the first bluetooth device it finds that is in pair mode. Once paired to a device, it will instantly pair with that device when you turn it on in the future. You can pair a second device and use a switch on the transmitter to switch between them.Great device for the price. Works perfectly, easy to set up, and the sound quality is suberb.

Miccus RTX 2.0 reviewI bought this Miccus RTX 2.0 to transmit music via Bluetooth from my HiFi Room in the house to a Bose Bluetooth Speaker or a pair of B & W Bluetooth Headphones on a table in my garden. The measured distance the Bluetooth signal has to travel is maximum 38 ft with 2 walls to go through. I have no problem pairing the speakers or headphones to the RTX 2.0 at close range but when I have the Bluetooth signal located, what I get is continual sound cut-outs / dropouts and often a complete loss of signal all together at only 38 ft distance. Consequently, in my house at least, the Miccus claim that the range of this unit is upto 160 ft does not hold up at all (yes, I read all the instructions about placement away from Modems etc). One of the walls the signal has to go through is an extremely hard, solid, dense, concrete construction (I can’t even drill through it) so maybe that is the cause of all the problems I face with the Miccus. However, apart from some permanent blind spots that I know about, mostly the RTX 2.0 does work OK from room to room within the house, so perhaps it does have some merit for some users.

I don't write reviews often, but I decided to do for this item.First of all, its much smaller then what it seams on the pictures, its GREAT and feels like quality item. I like that part of it, but what it should be doing I don't. Reason for one star is that technically its useless for some people. Here is why:It does transmit with no problems to two devices, pass through function also works so in essence you can hook up 3 speakers, two via bluetooth and one through audio digital pass through. Why its useless for some people like me? It robs you for 40% of volume on all 3 speakers AND to be worse, speakers on bluetooth and the one you hooked up on audio digital output WILL NOT be in sync, and it can not be adjusted. That means, sound (speech or music) will have a strong echo.If you are not using it for 3 speaker set up like I wanted to, yeah, it might be useful for you ONLY if you never play loud music, as like I said, volume output is 40% less. KEEP in mind that, EVEN THEN you are still paying in sound quality, as the lower sound output will FORCE you to raise volume on your speakers, that means your speakers are always in hight volume meaning they also amp up any noise in the signal.So if you want to listen medium volume, your speakers need to be on 100% Volume, and when you pause the music you will hear humming from the speakers as they are on 100%. Humming wont be heard when speakers are set on 50-60%, but then as transmitter robs you off volume, 50-60% volume on the speakers will give you low volume sound.So to conclude, why to NOT buy:1) It lowers sound output by 40% so if you like to listen loud music sometimes, do not buy this.2) If you want to hook up 3 speakers with using the pass through, do not buy this, as speakers wont be in sync,3) If you want to listen to up to medium volume but you want good quality, do not buy, as you will be having humming noise.Why to BUY:Only if you want to hook up 2 speakers on bluetooth, and you plan to use it for background music where you dont need high volume.NOTE: I have another single bluetooth receiver only, I test it and that one does not lower output volume, which means this Miccus trans/receiver has a bad output volume period.
