Revainrating 5 out of 5

A couple of optical cable attachments and you’re done

Works out of the box with straight forward directions for anyone that needs them. Nice thing is only the inputs need to be switched with the remote. All outs are always functioning. A very sturdy box and after a long while plugged in there is no heat coming off the box at all.The box only comes with USB and optical cables which both can be plugged into the TV (if your TV has USB ports). If not, can use a common android plug to use an electrical outlet.

Pros
  • Saves you the hassle of constantly unplugging and re-plugging cables
Cons
  • High likelihood of losing the remote

Shipping, packaging and installation were great. I will need to get some velcro to keep it from tilting up. The box is small, light, and durable, but the cable weight in the back makes the front tilt up a bit. No big deal, easy fix. I have IR LED Lights run in my computer, which this sets on top of. They must be on the same frequency or something, because whenever I press 1, it dims the lights. Press 2, it changes to purple. Press three, and it changes to yellow. Not a big deal, but it can be…

Pros
  • Audio Format Support
Cons
  • Not intuitive for users who aren't tech-savvy

Simple and functional product

My new TV lacks passing dolby 5.1 and DTS 5.1 from an incoming HDMI connection out an optical connection. It only supports it for over the air broadcasts or apps running on the TV. Because of this I had to invest in this product and run long optical audio cables.Ive used the switcher multiple times daily for 2 weeks now without any issues. Simple and easy to use.

Pros
  • ‎ZVC155US
Cons
  • No guarantee of long-term functionality

Good product. for my opinion

I just installed a Bose LifeStyle 300 system in my home. To my surprise, the new amp does not have an optical out gor my headphones. This switch allows me to connect my head phones directly to my TV and Cable box. Problem solved.

Pros
  • Prevents wear and tear on your audio cables
Cons
  • Risk of damaging connected sound systems

Bought this to replace a different toslink switch id had for a year or so and im very pleased to see its aluminum body compared to the cheap plastic of my former switch (which cost a little bit more than this). Super easy and straight forward setup had everything up and running again in just a few minutes.

Pros
  • Affordable and cost-effective
Cons
  • No ability to upgrade or improve functionality

Options . options .

For the price it’s a great deal. Only downside is my cables pull such that the little thing’s kind of on its heals (not so much as to be an issue, and if it bothers me the unit is solid enough to handle a little counterweight on top). This works fine; most importantly, as their blurb says, "no loss in sound.” I was wondering about that, concerned that since i was derailing a signal off it’s first path in the cable, through whatever routes it internally, to another cable, that there might be…

Pros
  • ‎eSynic
Cons
  • Not durable enough to handle everyday use

If you need to consolidate 3-Optical-IN to 1-Optical Out - This works Great!My older Receiver only has two Optical Inputs, but I have 4 optical cables I needed to connect, so found myself plugging and unplugging at the back of the receiver each time i needed to use a different input, just a pain!Bought two other Digital Optical Switches, both failed badly, and was getting a bit discouraged, but figured I would keep trying until I found one that worked.The ESYNIC 3 Port Toslink connected up…

Pros
  • Comes with a 6ft cable for added convenience
Cons
  • Not user-friendly for all ages

This works great for its purpose and saves me a lot of hassle

As much as I didn't want another adapter/splitter in my already crowded component shelf, this is definitely preferable to constantly unplugging and plugging optical audio cords when I'm changing devices. As far as I can tell this device doesn't compromise sound quality at all; it's like it isn't even there.I like that it comes with a remote in addition to having an on-device cycling button. I adhered a piece of velcro to the back of the remote and stuck it on the leg of my coffee table so it's…

Pros
  • Allows you to easily switch between multiple audio sources
Cons
  • Incompatible with certain gaming consoles

Really works. Excellent product.

I used this product as a optical cable switch from my TV, BluRay DVR and DirecTV Dish DVR. It was easy to install and worked the first time. The only problem I have is the remote control from the eSynic 3 Port Toslink Switch Digital Optical Audio Switcher changes the volume on my Zvox speaker. What I do is get some exercise by getting up and going to the box and switch the box manually. Works great.

Pros
  • Serves it purpose. The remote control distance needs improvement
Cons
  • Difficult to set up

Replacement works great

Update.Without me having to ask I was sent a free replacement by the seller (eSynic) even after receiving a refund on the bad unit. The new one is working great. No issues. Good customer service.Original review.Lots of random and loud high pitch pings and pops coming through from this device. I used it with a PS4 and Xbox One going to a set of headphones and it was unbearable.

Pros
  • ‎No
Cons
  • Frequent interruptions during use
