OK for TV use - not suitable for demanding music, DJ or presentation (delay and sound quality).
Low latency - well, it will probably be enough for watching TV. Not for demanding use in monitoring. The analogue/digital converter is not the best and changes the sound massively (more bass, missing treble, mushy sound). The delays are too long for vocal or speech monitoring (between 1/3 and 1/2 second). Not recommended for DJs, presenters, etc.
Contra
- Delay despite aptx
- Sound quality
- Recognition of already paired devices
Only conditionally suitable for two Bluetooth headphones
Firstly, this is the newer product with Bluetooth 5.0. Digitec also has the older one in its range which has almost identical features.
I bought this product to control two Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless headphones in parallel via Bluetooth. Since the sound source is a TV set, the aptX-LL feature was particularly important to me.
The connection via the included optical cable and the power supply via the also included USB cable went smoothly. The pairing of the first headphone also worked. However, pairing the second pair of headphones was very tedious. It only worked after a few attempts and only after the device was disconnected from the power supply and switched on again. The instructions are also not entirely correct regarding deleting paired devices. In my case, the specified number of seconds for pressing the buttons had no effect, and if you pressed them for much longer, the LEDs lit up as described when the connection was deleted. However, the device then hung up and I had to disconnect it from the power supply again. After both headphones were paired, they both worked fine. Then came the test to see what would happen if all the devices were switched off and on again, and lo and behold: only one pair of headphones was recognised. The second headphone could not be paired. So I started all over again by deleting the known Bluetooth devices. Again, it took several attempts until both worked. Then everything was switched off again and once again one headphone did not work. In my case, it was always the one on the second channel (B). I also reversed the assignment once. I couldn't get both headphones to work at the same time after switching on.
So this unit does not fulfil the purpose for which I bought it.Pro
- aptX-LL support
- Optical and analogue input
