Easy to install best in my review

It is simple and easy hardware to install. I plug all my devices trough this switch and the remote help select the output from one device to another. The sound output is awesome. Overall, this audio optical switcher 3x1 with remote control is a bargain and its quality surpasses my expectation. It never overheats. Mine is plugged to the power outlet all the time. I highly recommend this product.

Pros
  • This product was perfect for my application and functions properly, Is easy to install and use.
Cons
  • Flimsy cable connection

Fast, easy, and functional

Works as advertised. Nice that it comes with the power adapter. Remote with included battery did not work. Put in a fresh battery and it was fine. Using with TV and cable box "in" and soundbar "out". Easy set up (1to 2 minutes) and easy to use.

Pros
  • Overload Protection
Cons
  • Subpar audio quality compared to other devices

Second one works great.

I ordered this product to have both my Xbox and PlayStation plugged in to the mixer of my headphones. It works great! Well. the second one works great, the first one they sent me didn't work at all. I was able to get sound out of 1 port, no lights ever came on on the front and switching didn't seem to work at all.But I returned the first one, got the second one in a couple days later and this one is perfect! Exactly what I was looking for so maybe I just got a bad one the first time?

Pros
  • Supports various audio formats
Cons
  • No way to save specific settings for future use

Feel free to pick this handy little device up, if you are wanting to attach multiple media devices to you surround sound, especially if you know you can use the Toslink/Digital-Fiber Optical cable to do so.This is essentially a fiber hub, which you plug 3 media devices into it (3 INs), & one out port (1 OUT) to your Monitor/Surround sound system.I have my PS4, ROKU, & DVD devices plugged into this ESYNIC. The single out port goes to my monitor/CD burner, which pumps out to my speakers.Because…

Pros
  • High-quality audio output
Cons
  • Limited customer support available

Exactly what I needed

This switch allowed me to bypass the sound around my TV (which could not process Dolby out through the optical output), and allowed me to route my cable box and DVD sound through my stereo system optical input. It adds one more remote to the pile, but it allows me to fully use the surround sound in my entertainment system. A real life saver and headache remover!

Pros
  • Aluminum Alloy Material with 6.6ft Toslink Cable
Cons
  • Limited range for the overall device

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great product for it's purpose and a value as well

The only flaw I found was not in the item itself but the packaging, the power cord can easily rip. The device itself is both cost effective and efficient I got it for use between Xbox and pc for a turtle Beach headset, and the remote is really handy as it can also turn the device on and off (even came with a battery) I plan to order another in the future like I said other than a weak power cord there are no other flaws I came across

Pros
  • I use this product to
Cons
  • Frequently drops connection

Can You Hear Me NOW?!

Perfect solution for my Home Theater. My previous splitter failed as optical-audio remained active from the Set-Top Box. This switch successfully blocks that signal to properly broadcast from the selected source. Great, slim remote handles power and channels easily at 10-15'.

Pros
  • Enhances your overall audio experience
Cons
  • Inconsistent functionality across devices of the same make

works better than anticipated

Purchased so I could connect the (analog converted to) digital input from my TV and the digital input from my cable provider to my SONOS Playbase. I expected I would need to switch back and forth between the inputs; happily I found that it seems to be almost auto-switching for me. I am very pleased.

Pros
  • ‎Black
Cons
  • Hard to navigate remote control interface

Had one surround sound system, and wanted to run my tv's optical digital out as well as 2 Sony CD changers with digital optical outputs through the one sound system.Worked like a charm, and can switch between the sources, just as advertised. . I am enjoying the surround sound of the newer cds equipped with digital audio. Thanks!

Pros
  • Comes with a remote control for convenient use
Cons
  • Adds unnecessary complexity to setup

Great switch with tiny issue

Great item that does exactly what it says it will. I am successfully running 3 video game systems into the switch for output through a sound bar.2 issues with the product:The switch will power off by itself randomly. It's occurred 6 times since purchase.The second issue is minor and has to do with the remote. Pressing the power button will sometimes result in 2 button presses. For instance, if the switch is on and you press the button to turn off on the remote, the switch will turn off and then

Pros
  • ‎IrDA
Cons
  • Risk of damaging connected devices

Easy setup and channel switching

I had this switch setup in a matter of minutes. I was able connect it to my audio receiver so I could easily switch inputs from my cable box, xbox and PC. Didn't even have to turn off any of my devices. Remote is small and will likely end up between the couch cushions, but that's true for most remotes. I put little dymo labels under each of the 3 buttons to help my wife keep track of the channels, haha.

Pros
  • Provides a hassle-free audio switching experience
Cons
  • Not designed for professional use

This works perfectly for my intended use, I bought it to be able to quickly with no fuss and just the push of a button be able to switch audio input for my headset from my playstation to my pc and back and forth works great, very nicely built I was expecting cheap plastic it is in fact a metal case. I did come with on digital audio cable, 3ft I believe. If you plan on using for the same thing as me and your systems aren't right next to each other you will need to buy longer cables.

Pros
  • Compatible with both digital and analog audio sources
Cons
  • No option for in-person technical support

Working Great 3 Months On

I bought this to enable easy switching of digital sources running into the optical input of my Audient id22 audio interface, and for that purpose it has worked flawlessly. With a push of a button on the included remote I can switch from my Kemper profiling amp coming through SPDIF to the digital signal from my computer's sound card. Great product at a great price.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Limited range with remote control

Super easy install; Happy Wife

Bought an older 5 CD changer at our local thrift and needed a way to get the RCA audio outputs to our soundbar. Tried a bluetooth unit but it was unreliable and had poor audio. I switched to an RCA to TOSLink convertor but needed a way to get both TV and the CD changer into the single optical input of our soundbar. So I gave the ESYNIC a shot and it worked like a charm. I fed the output from our TV into input 1, the CD changer into input 2 and the output to the soundbar. With the included…

Pros
  • 3 In 1 Out Audio Switching
Cons
  • Confusing instructions for use

NO STATIC - it just WORKS

I previously bought a switch that was plastic and had all kinds of interference, static. Took a couple minutes to connect the new ESYNIC 3 Port Switch with new SPDIF cables and now I hear great sounds thru my TV box or Cable TV to my Phonak Hearing Aids. I can even go into another room and still hear the TV or TV Box with no interference. I have spend $100s of dollars just for devices to use with my Phonak hearing aids and the ESYNIC 3 Port Toslink Switch Digital Optical Audio Switcher 3X1 with

Pros
  • Makes it easy to share audio with friends or family
Cons
  • Difficult to troubleshoot when problems arise

Works as advertised!

This is a better design than the many similar clones out on Revain. It stays flat and doesn't look like a spider with inputs and outputs coming in and going out on all sides. Most importantly, it doesn't use IR and thankfully the remote works well even if the unit is hidden somewhere and partially out of sight. This was important to me as I didn't want to deal with trying to point the remote in a specific place. A similar unit I had got (which had more ratings) didn't work for me as the IR…

Pros
  • ‎4 ounces
Cons
  • Incompatible with certain TV models

Remote Control doesn't work.

System works as expected, but the remote control is suboptimal and fails to work unless the battery holder is wedged in exactly right (it's cheap plastic). Tried to get them to sell me a replacement remote to no avail. Will have to buy a whole new unit instead. Will look for other manufacturers to see if their remotes work better.

Pros
  • Reduces the clutter on your entertainment center
Cons
  • High potential for remote control malfunctions

Works as promised; I made a good choice

We used the product to connect a Blu-Ray player and a PS4 to an older amp that has no hdmi input. Set up was easy, sound is excellent. Some people might think that the remote is just another remote that gets lost in the couch, but we find it to be very handy. If you don't like the the remote, there is a button on the face of the unit that turns it on and you use to cycle through the three lines.

Pros
  • Home Audio Accessories
Cons
  • Requires additional cables for setup

It works pretty well - once you figure out how to hook .

It works pretty well - once you figure out how to hook it up. The instructions are almost nonexistent. I would have liked to place it behind the TV but it only works in line of sight. So, if you can't see it, neither can the remote. It's nice and small though so not very conspicuous. Really wish the instructions were more elaborate seeing as how I'm not a sound engineer or electrician by trade. It is well made. Nice that it came with a cable.

Pros
  • Compact and space-saving design
Cons
  • No option for repairs or replacements

Does what it says it does, and does it well.

Got a Vizio 5.1 soundbar for Christmas and I was faced with the problem of not getting Dolby digital through my TVs optical output. This device solved my problem. I was able to hook up my cable box and PS4 Pro to this switch, which sends a signal to the soundbar. Now I can game and watch HBO with digital surround sound. If you have multiple digital optical components and only one input on your soundbar or receiver, this is what you need.

Pros
  • Remote Control & Manual Switching
Cons
  • Tendency to overheat after extended use
