So first it took ages for the Zen Air Blue to pair with my desktop PC (2½m away, Creative BT-W5). I had to move them really close together, then it worked. Sadly, it took the device forever to connect every time I restarted my PC, but connecting my TV was always quick.I found a workaround: When both the TV and the PC were on and I switched the TV off, it connected instantly to my PC. So I started connecting my TV first whenever I want to pair my PC.Sound is amazing, but I wish I could turn the voice off that annnounces codec-switching ("aptx-adaptice", "device disconnected").

The receiver creates good sound but the power cord could be a little longer

It's expensive but I have a high end audio system and sounds perfect with it.

this allowed me to connect my Apple TV 4K with my old school stereo system and get these benefits: - excellent sound (better than the sound bars I had tried). - dual purpose setup: I can turn off the power to the video screen and use the system to stream audio only. - I can connect other devices (phone, etc) directly without using the Apple TV.it usually keeps a reliable connection with the Apple TV. I think that the rare times it disconnects is the fault of the Apple TV, though.I have not yet tried to figure out how to turn off (or lower the volume of) the notification that it has connected to a device, which is a bit loud. on the other hand, the voice uses a New Zealand accent (I think? sorry if I'm wrong, Kiwis. 😬) which I rather like. anyway, this notification happens only when it switches device connection, and so doesn't happen often.it's not cheap but it works really well.

Works very well. The only caveat, for me, is there is too much base, so I adjust it either with an app on my device or the receiver/amp it is connected to.
