 Good with iPhone and Motorola S9 January 7, 2009
Works well with the Motorola MOTOROKR S9 and iPhone. Phone is able to take calls and then switch back to iPod. Seems more elegant than the similar Motorola unit.
Excellent Product! January 6, 2009
This does exactly what i wanted it to do, transmit my ipod to my Motorolla S9 Headset. It really works great. Syncing it to the iPod is a bit difficult but it works and half the time I never know how it actually syncs but it does. Very happy with the product!
Great for running! You need line of sight... December 27, 2008

Adapter fits snug with the ipod and is not flimsey so it won't come unhooked easily. I paired this with the Motorola bluetooth A2DP headphones [...] YOU MUST pair this device with a stereo bluetooth headset that has A2DP or else it won't work! My only complaint is that the signal cuts out when you lose line of sight with the headset-even when it's on your iPod armband while jogging and it's transmitting to your headphones a foot away-if my arm swings too far back the signal cuts out for a second. Not a big deal but something to consider. Overall great product that works well as advertised-just be sure to keep track of it cause it's really tiny!
Bluetooth for iPod - GREAT December 26, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have an iPod Touch 1G and I wanted to stream audio to my Yamaha RX-V663 receiver. I purchased the Yamaha Bluetooth dongle, hooked it to my receiver, then hooked this Sony Bluetooth dongle to my iPod. Be aware: buying these devices is a lot pricier than getting a cheap-o iPod dock and hooking it to the AUX input of your receiver.
The iPod Touch should have Bluetooth built in. I heard that Apple intentionally did not include Bluetooth, because they didn't want to compete with their own iPhone device. That is very annoying, because I didn't want an iPhone.
I was hearing music within 60 seconds. I just had to activate the "pairing" process on both devices, they found each other, and music immediately began pumping out of my stereo. Great! I am listening to music right now. The 128kbps MP3s I am listening to don't sound all that bad. It sounds about the same as a wired connection. The 320kbps MP3s sound fantastic. I haven't tried it with any lossless CD rips yet.
I can walk into the other room with the iPod and the music continues to play. If the connection is lost, the music just cuts off immediately, without a gradual loss in quality. When you walk back into range, the music starts again. The range is more than adequate, about 25 feet.
This device is small, about the size of 4 stacked US 25-cent pieces. I am somewhat concerned about losing it.
The only other downside I can see is that I can't charge my iPod while listening to it through the Bluetooth. It's too bad the south end of the Bluetooth dongle doesn't have a female iPod connect, so you could stick it on the charger base if you wanted.
Otherwise, this was a great purchase. There are cheaper options to listen to your iPod through your stereo, but this is by far the coolest. I can control the iPod from my sofa, kitchen, or dining room table. Then I automatically hear the music come out of my stereo. I haven't tried it with headphones yet, but I will soon.
My next MP3 player will definitely have Bluetooth built-in.
 Conformation of the iPod Touch 2nd Gen. December 22, 2008

This does work beautifully on the iPod Touch 2nd Gen. Does what is says. To bad Apple can't add Bluetooth as an spp. to transfer photos or other files. Also just bought Motorola S9 Stereo headset witch is sleek, elegant and wireless. Apple needs to be more innovated with todays technology and get with the program as far as compatability. A must have prouduct if you want capability.
