SOOMFON Bluetooth 5.3 Transmitter Receiver for TV to 2 Headphones

Works with Xbox 360. My son wanted to play with the Xbox on his monitor in his room, but alas no sound output from said monitor. With this gizmo, he was able to route optical audio through Bluetooth to his headphones. Now we can watch our tv and he can play Xbox in another room. Great! Changed the following settings in system settings to enable the device: display discovery to Off and resolution to 1080p. Also changed audio > Digital audio > Digital stereo. Worked like a charm! Sound is responsive and transmitter was easy to connect and operate.

After a few weeks of use, my experience is that I would highly recommend it. The sound quality, range and volume are great especially for the price. It took a little while to get it paired to my earbuds as the directions were not clear enough. The best way to pair with the earbuds is to watch for searching when you turn on the device and then open your earbuds case for pairing. Once the Bluetooth device recognizes your earbuds push the big knob on the right and this will lock in your earbuds pairing. When you go to use your Bluetooth device in the future just turn it on and while the screen shows connecting open your earbuds case and remove an earbud. I have no problems after I got the hang of it. The only problem I have is when I used the TV USB connector for power, the Vizio smart TV I have would turn the device back on after I had it turned it off. My TV LED would light back up about a minute after the TV was turned off and it would turn the device back on. I would have to watch for this and turn it back off. I decided to plug the Bluetooth device into a 5W transformer block and connect it to a power strip which stopped it from coming back on. The TV senses the connection and turns the power on and the device doesn’t know to stay off. The only other thing to mention is that if you use only one earbud you have to use the Bluetooth device knob to turn up or down the volume. When you use both earbuds you can control the volume with the earbud sensors.

At $25 this thing is worth it. It will send or receive bluetooth audio. If you are sending, it will pair with two sets of headphones at once, which is nice. I am using this device to adapt a very nice stereo receiver to connect my bluetooth headphones. I would give this bluetooth tx/rx five stars except that it is unreliable when pairing. I paired it once and that was fine. Now, subsequently, EVERY time I turn on my stereo and my headphones, sometimes it will pair, but I won't get any audio in the headphones. Sometimes (a minority of the times) I turn it on and it pairs and I can hear audio right away. I think that in 2026 we should be a little better than this. The Soomfon bluetooth tx/rx has a nice little display panel. It displays the mode it is in (either TX or RX - which is Transmit to your headphones or speakers, OR Receive audio via bluetooth. I didn't know that until I got this. ) It tells you in TX mode which is the source of input you send to your headphones. There is a lighted large blue knob on front which when you turn it will turn up the volume from 0 to 16. If you push on the volume knob it will search and connect again (which is what I have to do when it doesn't fully work - it connects and shows the name of the headphones in the display but I cannot hear anything. This is an annoyance but if you can accept an extra button push to get it to connect again, it will then work very well.) The capability to send a strong signal further than my other bluetooth gadgets is nice. This claims to broadcast from 10m to 30m, which is around thirty-some feet up to almost 100 feet - which is great for bluetooth. If you're indoors and you are going from one room to another, then your mileage may vary but this thing does broadcast a nice strong signal! One thing to keep in mind: this bluetooth adapter has to be plugged into a charger - it will not work on battery only. I have another bluetooth TX gadget I use with my iPod Classic to play music while I'm working outdoors which has a decent battery life0 no projecting antennae. This Soomfon bluetooth TX/RX adapter is for plugged in stationary use. All that said, I totally recommend it for uses similar to mine. I would buy it again.

Purchased this device to transmit audio from a Bluetoothless Samsung TV with only an optical audio out port. I was able to get the device to see & connect to my bluetooth devices (speaker, earbuds), however no audio would transmit to the bluetooth devices. I wrote to Soomfon explaining what I was trying to do & why, along with photos showing that the settings were all aligned with the instructions sent with the device. To be clear the product headline includes the words "Bluetooth 5.3 Transmitter...Optical," & it arrived with an optical audio cable & ports, so the device is meant to be able to do what I need it to do. They replied suggesting that (a) I try hooking up the optical audio to my computer (I have used computers since before there was a Mac & have never seen one w/ an optical audio port & regardless that would not address the issue. I was very clear: I need their device to connect to a TV. The other recommendation in their reply was to (b) use the AUX port, even though in my request for help I wrote, "This TV has only an optical audio out port, no other audio out ports." I replied restating the issue & explaining why their recommendations are not relevant to my situation. This time I did not hear back. I waited a week, replied again seeking help, still no reply. To recap: device did not do what it is designed to do. Customer service replied once with multiple suggestions that were not relevant to my issue. After a follow-up request for help was ignored, I boxed the device back up & returned it for a refund.

SOOMFON Bluetooth 5.3 Transmitter Receiver for TV to 2 Headphones Works great. Easy to use, connected to Bluetooth audio devices easily. The built in display makes it easy to use. No issues so far.

a little complicated but i was able to set up my old samsung non-smart tv (with an amazon fire stick) so that i could use a variety of wireless headsets and earbuds. it did eventually disconnect and i had to go through the whole set up process again. the latest fire stick upgrade (or maybe my newest earbuds) now work ok without this adapter but i may go back to using it because it allows multiple devices. i'm in my 60s with pretty good tech skills.

I really like the design and ease of use but when streaming music from my phone to the stereo it cuts out for about 5 - 10 seconds 3-4 times per hour. When this happens, I am not using the phone, it is just sitting there playing music while I am doing other things. Not a deal breaker but does get annoying. **UPDATE** Their customer service reached out after leaving this review to make my issue right. Much appreciated!

My VIZIO smart tv doesn't have Bluetooth built into it, so i got this crazy idea to figure out how to get bluetooth, so I came across this nifty invention, and since it wasn't purchased, bought, or found from Best Buy (the Masters of Technology, I'm sorry not sorry haha) I was worried that this was a fake trap and wouldn't work. Needless to say, when the shipment arrived in fast timing and arrival, I was wrong and I was so happy. I live the latency, connectivity, Bluetooth connectivity, works well, easy to use/ease of use, the volume control knobs and features, touch screen, just the whole cute adorable thing, qnd I'm do happy now, because my VIZIO tv now have Bluetooth when I turn this on, and I can connect to my Skullcandy Hesh EVO, Bluetooth headphones. My Optimum tv Google box, my streaming apps (Netflix, and etc) all have Bluetooth through my headphones pairing to this cool invention. My only complaint is that I have to mute the tv so that it doesn't echoes through both tv and my headphones, but that's ok, I don't mind. I'm just happy that I have Bluetooth working now, because my tv doesn't have it built-in. And my next complaint I that when my DVD player is on playing a DVD, the headphones only plays in one speaker of my headphones only. But, that's ok too.

Werkt bij mij perfect zonder problemen met Bluetooth koppelen.

Funciona muy bien, fácil, intuitivo, rápido, si trae instructivo en español. Manda buena calidad de sonido y se puede subir el volumen. Se pueden conectar 2 dispositivos a la vez sin perder calidad o volumen. Buen producto

Das Gerät funktioniert einwandfrei und tut was es soll. Die Bedienung ist relativ einfach. Für den besten Klang empfehle ich den digitalen Eingang. Aux hatte bei uns Störgeräusche verursacht, was aber auch an dem mitgelieferten Kabel selbst liegen kann.

Wszystkie możliwości tak jak w opisie.

Perfect synchronization, easy setup, and flawless performance! I am absolutely thrilled with this SO compact OMFON Bluetooth transmitter! I originally bought it for my TV because it didn't have built-in Bluetooth capability. This little device completely saved me from having to buy a brand new TV costing hundreds of pounds! The experience with it has been flawless. It was super easy to set up right out of the box and connected perfectly to my Sony headphones. The absolute best part is that there is zero audio lag, which means the lip-sync and audio synchronization with the TV are perfectly spot-on. I also love the fact that I can seamlessly control the volume directly up or down using my headphones themselves—a huge bonus convenience! It’s incredibly versatile too. It effortlessly paired and connected with my Pixel Buds without a single issue. This device is an amazing find—super well-made, sturdy, and packs incredibly premium performance at such a good price point. If you want to upgrade an older TV without breaking the bank, don't hesitate. Highly recommended!
