So I decided to get it! If it was going to give me that much desired Bluetooth functionality for listening to my music files via Bluetooth on my 1950, it was worth getting and if it works on all the other devices I have, then this is going to be an invaluable tool for my arsenal!
So the package finally came and I was impressed when I opened it up. There were two devices inside, a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter was a round device, a little larger than a silver dollar and about 3+ times as thick. It was made from a transparent orange colored plastic and had a chrome disk on the top. The bottom had a silver grey disk that a short cord (about 3 inches) wrapped around and neatly attached in the center of the disk. You plug this cord into the phone-out connector on your devices.

There was an on/off button located on this silver disk and on the side of the transmitter there was a rubber plug concealing a mini USB port for charging. Overall, I really liked the design of the transmitter---very modern and slick looking.

The top edge has an earphone plug and a mic input for use with a phone. The top side has the on/off switch and the bottom side has a rubber plug covering a mini USB charge port. Nicely designed…I hope it works as well as it looks!
A set of stereo ear-plugs came in the package but I think I am going to try this with a nice pair of Panasonic wired headphones that I have. They have great quality and I definitely wanted a great listening experience.
I decided to give the two pieces a charge before I used then. There is a neat USB to mini-USB cable that came with the package. The min-USB end actually had a dual mini’s so you can charge both devices at the same time. I plugged in the devices, went for a cup of coffee and when I returned, the charging lights were off and they were good to go.

So how does it work?
A simple set of directions came printed on the package. To pair the two devices together, press and hold the on/off switch on the transmitter for about 3-5 seconds and then 2 LEDs will start to blink. Now, pressing the receiver’s on/off button, there was a blue light that appeared on the 4 way switch and quickly became a red/blue flashing light. It was almost an instantaneous connection with the flashing stopping and a blue light blinking on the receiver. The transmitter now had a single green LED flashing.

So for the next two hours I was listening to music, bobbing my head, just enjoying life, my music and surfing the net…..what else is there in life? (only kidding)
