Review on 🎧 Anker Soundsync A3341- Bluetooth 5 Transmitter and Receiver for TV and Home Stereo: Lag-Free HD Audio, 2-in-1 with Multiple Connection Options by Emmanuel Chouinard

Revainrating 5 out of 5

As the song goes, "Why is it so hard? " I expect the best from Anker

Not sure if it's just poor design or an obvious defect or both. In any case, the instruction manual is more of a source of confusion than a help. Regardless, I couldn't get it to work despite trying three different Bluetooth devices and two different TVs. The main problems with the manual: It does not provide clear instructions for Bluetooth pairing. There are instructions on how to pair with two devices at the same time, but no clear instructions on how to pair with one device. There is a guide in the manual explaining the different blue LED flashing patterns - the actual device will flash blue, and also red and sometimes green, which is not mentioned in the manual. The guide describes using the same shortcut keys for different and conflicting functions - double press to turn off, double press to enter pairing mode, etc. I'm an AV IT professional with all sorts of specialized training and certifications. from Apple, Microsoft, etc., 20 years of professional experience, etc. If I couldn't understand the thing, my elderly father certainly couldn't. Definitely not plug/push and play. My first negative anchor experience. As long as I keep using them for very basic things like batteries and cables I'll look elsewhere for everything else.

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Outdated
