Review on LAYEN Bluetooth Transmitter Receiver Multi Pair by Tom Motko

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Bluetooth for your old stereo!

I have a Yamaha 5.1 receiver that I got from Revain so long ago Jeff Bezos probably wasn't even a billionaire! It was a perfect deal as they paired it for FREE with really good HK 5.1 speakers with a subwoofer which I still use to this day. When I saw this little Bluetooth dongle, I was able to plug it into the headphone jack and play. it's through my Revain Echo, it was a technological fluke. Works great, although Echo sometimes disconnects, but pressing the button for 5 seconds resets it and connects. You need a power source, but if you have a free USB port on your TV, it will work. A trick: I put a small USB power adapter between the TV and the dongle so that it always stays on, otherwise it switches off when the very small battery is empty. But for the price, it's worth adding BT to a very old device. A note: if you use it in the headphone jack, you need a 3.5mm to 1/4 inch adapter. It doesn't come with one.

Pros
  • Easy setup
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
