Harman Kardon BTA 10

This is a great item for the price. I have an old receiver with some old speakers but I hate having all of the commercials on the radio. This Harman Kardon allows me to listen to my music from my phone and no commercials. Thank you

Pros: Music you want to listen all of the time

Cons: No commercials

Easy set up works great.

Pros:

Cons:

Exactly what I needed, converted my existing system instead without having to buy a new receiver, it's for a back room, mostly just play and fun, now I can put the money towards the main system

Pros: Inexpensive way o convert a old system, and dont need internet to connect another source like a play station for your YouTube music and such

Cons: No con honestly, jas great range as well

Works perfectly and it was simple to install.

Pros: Easy to install

Cons: None

What a great sounding Bluetooth adapter when using Audioquest Evergreen inteconnect. The sound from Apple Music on it is astounding. Auto pairing with my iPhone is very fast. True Hi-fi at a steal of a price.

Pros: Near CD quality sound,absolutely great price.

Cons: None

Works great and is easy to install and pair. I would give it 5 stars if it had a power switch. I unplug the power cord when not is use. I don't have a 110 v switched receptacle on my AVR available for that purpose.

Pros: Save LOTS of Money!! if all you want to do is add bluetooth capability to an existing system. i was looking at $1500 dollars to replace my current AVR

Cons:

Product did not produce volume or Quality sound. Will be returned.

Pros: None

Cons: Product did not produce quality sound.

Installed on my home stereo. Easiest install ever. Music sounds much better thru big speakers than the Bluetooth can I was using prior. Great addition.

Pros:

Cons:

Harman Kardon BTA 10

Pros: Easy install and synch!

Cons:

Pros: Easy to install Quality sound Distance to control Profile and look blends well into cabin

Cons: None identified yet

Works great! Easy to set up!

Pros:

Cons:

Easy to set up and use. Universal connectivity with different apps.

Pros: Very easy set up.

Cons: A bit more expensive than some of the competitors.

Super product. Easy hook up and immediate connection. Buy it.

Pros:

Cons:

Having lost patience with Apple's lack of reliable/affordable/practical streaming devices, this item saved me from having to buy a different receiver for my otherwise analog system. It's easy to setup and the sound is great (Tidal's HiFi tracks sound that way). The only downside is that sometimes the device falls "asleep" and you have to fiddle around a bit to wake it up. That said: Well worth the modest investment.

Pros:

Cons:

Works great, just as supposed to. Have it connected to my main 2 channel system. Would highly recommend.

Pros: Every aspect

Cons: None

Works great with my perfectly fine older receiver and speakers. Now streaming all my favorites from Spotify and Pandora. Very easy setup.

Pros:

Cons:

Works great with my 1978 toshiba receiver and JBL studio monitors from the same time period. As always Leia I think was her name did a great service job with me and my order. Love crutchfield! Thank you, Stuart

Pros:

Cons:

Very nice and easy to use BT for an older amp.

Pros: very easy to use

Cons: None

Easy setup, clear signal.

Pros: Easy setup, consistent

Cons: None yet

They work great! I have three of them so I can stream music in my garage my basement and my workplace. No wires no hassle.

Pros: Works great, good sound quality

Cons: None

This adapter works exactly as designed, very simple to install and use. The only drawback is since it uses an RCA connection it's an analog signal and it sounds like analog but it's not a big deal, it still does what I needed it to do.

Pros: Works as designed.

Cons: Not digital.

Brought my 20 year receiver into the 21st century!

Pros: Works great....simple installation

Cons: None

Excellent, easy to use Bluetooth unit that instantly connects and is virtually fool-proof

Pros: Perfect

Cons: None

I ordered this receiver without talking to your sales staff. It turns out I didn't understand the great difference in quality in Bluetooth receivers. After taking with Customer Service I returned this product & got a receiver I'm very happy with.

Pros:

Cons:

Works perfectly!!

Pros:

Cons:

Great device! Works as advertised and extremely easy to set up.

Pros:

Cons:

Works great, affordable. Need an on off switch, have to unplug and plug in to activate.

Pros: Cost, works as should, easy to set up

Cons: Have to unplug and plug in to turn on after sitting idle.

Great unit - I have had it working for a few weeks. Easy set-up. I drive it through my vintage 70's Marantz amp to my home stereo system - pairing it with my iPhone so I can use iTunes and my playlists and I also pair it with Amazon Echo Dot, so I can ask Alexa to play music via Pandora, Spotify or Amazon Music. Unit is much smaller than I thought. About the size of a book of matches - a good thing. It sits nicely beside my turntable with its blue light glowing. Quality of music produced through Marantz and Bose system is very good. No connection issues, no buffering, no skips so far. Harmon Bluetooth unit is located only 18 inches from the Echo Dot and I've paired and engaged the Harmon unit via my iPhone from far more than the advertised 30 foot range. In fact, in the backyard - changing music selection via my iPhone to my outdoor speakers (about 50-60 feet and through walls / glass).

Pros:

Cons:

Great product, easy set up and use. would recommend to a friend

Pros:

Cons:

The distance for Bluetooth receiving is quite impressive. But the sound is rather muffled. Almost no treble at all.

Pros: Great distance

Cons: Sound quality is poor.

I have a seldom used, but great quality, receiver and speakers bought when CDs were the cutting edge. It was largely replaced by portable Bluetooth speakers. I saw the BTA 10 and it looked like just what I needed. My system has never sounded better! Setup was easy and it works great. I highly recommend it to "update" your sound system!

Pros: Easy setup. Great sound. Price.

Cons: None.

It's a lot smaller than I expected but that makes it hardly noticeable. It was very easy to setup. Bought it so my 91 year old mom can listen to her classical music station from her iPad thru her stereo system. Before this she was plugging in a connection manually but all the in and out created a faulty connection. This seems (so far so good - it's only been about a week) to work like a charm. She loves it!

Pros:

Cons:

This was extremely easy to setup. The sound quality is great. We have built in speakers in our great room and we were blown away by the sound. We have a top of the line older Yamaha receiver and it just paired with it so easily. I would highly recommend this product.

Pros: Easy setup, sound quality is excellent. The unit is very small and fits in any space

Cons: None that I could think of

Compact enough to hide and make folks wonder how you can play music wirelessly on an old music system. Excited to have found such a piece of equipment.

Pros: Found a way to play my music from my ipad

Cons: Need a better Bluetooth range.

Hooked it up to my old receiver and now play music from my Amazon account. Good sound quality

Pros:

Cons:

Simple, straight forward device that has allowed us to stream music to a very nice, albeit somewhat older Yamaha receiver . Less than 5 minutes to install and put in service.

Pros:

Cons:

I'm amazed at how quickly this thing setup. Less than 5 minutes and I was playing tunes from some spare Logitech speakers. Plug anything into this and it becomes Bluetooth wireless. Incredible, wish I would have found this earlier. Perfect connection and the sound is great. I'm going to buy one for my office. I purchased this to make my Klipsch home system wireless so I could stop plugging my phone into it every time I wanted to listen to music.

Pros: Small size and ease of connection.

Cons: none

The concept is fantastic. Only beef compared to direct line to my I6Plus is the volume output is 50% less to Bluetooth. I've told friends about this and they've never heard of it ! May want to get the word out . A lot of stereophiles out there and the quality is 100% !

Pros: Works with all types of old and none Bluetooth units .

Cons: Considerable volume loss as to DL ( direct line )

Works ok but I do have to keep unplugging it to get it to connect. I have not contacted CS yet.

Pros:

Cons:

I have tried a couple other brands of Bluetooth adaptors and those are long gone. I now own 2 of the Harman/Kardan HK BRA-10 adaptors and they work flawlessly. Thanks Crutchfield ??

Pros:

Cons:

Came in earlier than the expected date and works perfectly

Pros:

Cons:

The Harman/Kardon BTA 10 has superb sound quality. I wasn't expecting the unit to outperform my hardwired d/a converter, but it easily spanked the other. Highs were silky smooth, midrange was extremely transparent. The unit was punchy and dynamic and had an analog like detail and resolution with noticeably better imaging than the rival. I suspect that those who may have reported connectivity issues are using an outdated, less premiere source device. I had no connection problems and suspect another possibility to be the culprit for those experiencing difficulties. I think I'm going to have to order another one!

Pros: Grrrreat Sound, small footprint.

Cons: I'm a little dissapointed that HK is in some Balboa, CA bamboozle deal instead of Woodbury, NY

Turned my big JBL speakers WiFi ..????

Pros:

Cons:

This product did exactly what I wanted it to and that was to use my old but very good Yamaha amp with nice speakers already in place. Installation was a snap using a Youtube video and was done in less than ten minutes. The best advice I read regarding usage was to make sure your source (iphone, ipad, etc.) volume is low. Use the amp to increase volume. I you have your source volume too high you will get distortion. Lane from Crutchfield was excellent help in getting me just the product I needed. Thanks Lane!

Pros:

Cons:

Great product and well priced. Super easy to set up and good sound quality. Loses one star because it does lose connectivity a bit too often. Crutchfield staff are awesome!

Pros: Easy set up, good sound quality. well priced.

Cons: Loses connection, even when close to source, several times a week.

I have an older Bose surround sound system in my 4 season room and i like to use Alexa to connect to my Prime or Pandora music stations. I was easily able to connect the RCA cables included in the product package. Alexa had a bit of a problem locating the blue tooth signal but suggested to go to my Alexa app on my cell phone to force recognition of the new blue tooth device. This worked and Alexa was able to connect. I noticed some skipping in the connection and told Alexa to stop music and then to reconnect. I had to do that a couple of more times, but now the connection is skip free each time I connect.

Pros:

Cons:

Awesome product, I assure you this is easy to use it does everything for you in bluetooth stearming. And the customer service really knows what to offer a solution in what you need for your audio needs.

Pros: All pros

Cons: No cons

Awesome device. Smart, superb sound and flawless connectivity. I think I'll purchase another pretty soon. I set it up with a pair of Mackie S5 Studio Monitors very satisfied, rich fat sound.

Pros:

Cons:

Definitely NOT up to Harmon Kardon quality. Or at least not MY expectations from HK. It loses my devices frequently. I unplug the power and sometimes that works, sometimes it doesn't. About 50/50. Today it said I didn't have the right PIN. I've never entered a PIN and have no idea what they're talking about and it never would pair today with either my phone or iPad. The manual is a joke. Was it worth the money? Absolutely not.

Pros: Small.

Cons: Difficulty pairing. Poor manual. Extremely finicky.

Works great. Does exactly what I needed

Pros:

Cons:

the product works great when the Bluetooth is operating right , but sometimes it looses connectivity and stop playing , I'm using a MacBook Pro ,and the distance between computer and BTA10 is only 4 feet.

Pros: the product works great when the Bluetooth is operating right. Hooked it up to my 10 year old Yamaha system. I'm using a MacBook Pro ,and the distance between computer and BTA10 is only 4 feet, thru a glass window

Cons: sometimes it looses connectivity and stop playing ,

Love that I can play my phone apps through my stereo sounds great

Pros: Turns any non Bluetooth boom box or stereo to Bluetooth

Cons: none

Great

Pros: Discreet, big sound

Cons: Not much to say

Nice product

Pros:

Cons:

Great product. Hooked it up to my 30 year old HK system and just like that and now playing music from my phone.

Pros:

Cons:

Excellent adapter, work perfect in my stereo receiver.

Pros:

Cons:

quick and easy install and operates as advertised. Going to buy another one.

Pros:

Cons:

My 2-yr old Sony receiver does not have bluetooth connectivity but my Samsung S8 does & it has the Spotify app----it was a perfect match! Now I can listen to all my favorite music through my home stereo system via my smartphone.

Pros: -easy to set up -audio quality almost matches CD quality

Cons: -sometimes phone can't "find" the harmon kardon unit at first try

It works great! There are issues with Windows 10. Recommend anyone having issues, update audio driver/Bluetooth software on your computer, original factory installed software is the problem.

Pros: Small, cute, can be hidden easily, works great.

Cons: Computer software/hardware (Windows 10) issues connecting to the unit. You need to update drivers, get updates from PC manufacturer; HP in my instance. After updates are installed it worked great!

Love it! I am now able to enjoy all the music I access in/through my smartphone through my current audio system. Worth the price!

Pros: quick & easy way to equip older audio gear with blue tooth capability

Cons: none that I have run into

Product works great!

Pros:

Cons:

I have a 10 year old Denon receiver and somewhat newer Boston Acoustics speakers. Started to get a little frustrated lately that they were basically just collecting dust since we stream everything now on tablets. Bought this and hooked it up today. Very easy to set up. First test with my iPhone. Noticed major bass distortion on the newer music. Made some bass/treble adjustments. Older tracks, like The Temptations, sounded ok but not great. Then my 26 year old son walked in, immediately knew the problem. Your phone, tablet, etc. volume must be set no higher than at one. That's what causes the distortion. Another thing, you have to 'forget this device' on all devices before trying to connect again. It can only work on one device and, because it is continuously looking for a signal, i.e. there is no "pair mode", you have to pair again with another device. A bit inconvenient but worth it as opposed to buying a new receiver.

Pros:

Cons:

If you enjoy doing a new setup and new connection every time you want to listen to music, this product. If you prefer to enjoy your music without hassles, keep shopping.

Pros:

Cons:

It may seem a bit pricy, but connectivity is super fast and the sound quality is equal to my CD player that's connected to the same receiver . Very good.

Pros: Connectivity, sound quality

Cons:

This unit is incompatible with Windows 10. Neither Harman Kardon or Microsoft offer driver support. This item is essentially an obsolete technology.

Pros: Works great with some products.

Cons: Doesn't work with Windows 10.

Easy set-up and great sound.

Pros:

Cons:

I have a Mitsubishi DA-R8 stereo receiver I purchased in 1983 and my FM stations would no longer work AM stations are fine. The Harman Kardon BTA10 was easy to install and works great. I can listen to all my music via Bluetooth and have great stereo sound.

Pros:

Cons:

Easy to hook up and it works great.

Pros:

Cons:

So right out of the box, this device is simple to plug and connect. I was pretty excited for this item as I'm using a McIntosh MA7200 receiver. As soon as I started playing music through my phone into my Martin Logan speakers, I got to say, the sound was uninspiring as I would have to crank the volume knob up to almost full to get some decent sound. Switching from bluetooth then into CD makes me appreciate why we have CD's. The sound quality cannot compare. To me, I feel like it was a waste to purchase this item as I have only used it once and haven't touched it again.

Pros:

Cons:

Purchases from Crutchfield can be returned or exchanged within 60 days of the purchase.

Of every Bluetooth adaptor we have used over the last few years , this unit is the best sound, small size and the easiest to pair. This unit is hands down a winner. It needs to be adapted for 12 volt auto use but that is our specialty. Highly recommended !

Pros: Pairing is simple with no code or button taps needed

Cons: Needs a 12 volt car adaptor included, it was designed for home use but that limits its true potential.

Great customer service and a wonderful recommendation

Pros:

Cons:

Works great so far. Only had it a week, but was easy to connect to my receiver and phone bluetooth.

Pros:

Cons:

Works as described; good range; using outside with an Onkyo stereo receiver approx. 40 feet from patio area; have used with several devices......ipod Touch, Galaxy phone, Kindle, iphone. No connection issues. Thanks Wes!

Pros: Good range; easy setup;

Cons:

When I bought the receiver, I could not imagine that I would ever need Bluetooth, so I chose one without. Then, some months later, I decided I did need Bluetooth, so I got online with a Crutchfield adviser and got a recommendation for this device. Easy setup. It works with any unused input in the receiver. This tiny device works as advertised and gave my receiver additional functionality.

Pros: Very easy installation. Small and unobtrusive. Flexible - works with any unused input in the receiver.

Cons: Pricey compared with other products on the market.

Easy set up, works nice

Pros:

Cons:

I am over 60 and wanted to use my XM on my old amp in my new shop. This is a great item I can now listen to my XM in the shop off my I pad. Which is hooked up to my internet works great Highly recommend this for those who want to use the good old school products.

Pros: All good so far easy setup

Cons: Wish I did not have to login every time I take the I-pad out and lose connection. Really no big deal but would take one step out from connecting.

HK BTA 10 was easy to set up on my old stereo system but takes a few times to connect to bluetooth. The sound is also not great quality or sometimes very faint so I have to disconnect and reconnect too often. Product works but not very well!

Pros: Easy to set up

Cons: Not good sound and bluetooth connection issues

The product will not sync with my Sony headphones, I have other devices that do. Have checked and rechecked inputs and they are fine.

Pros:

Cons:

I bought two of these, one for my Bose system, and the other is for my Denon amplifier, they all work great, just like it's description. I am very happy for what I bought. Also bought from the right company Great Crutchfield.

Pros:

Cons:

Easy to setup, good range. Modernizes an old stereo by adding the ability to stream digital music through Bluetooth. Sound quality is excellent!

Pros:

Cons:

Dead easy to set up. I am using this primarily in conjunction with a SanDisk SportClip Plus MP3 player while working out. As soon as I initiate a Bluetooth connection from the player to the BTA 10, the reciever comes right on from power save mode and is almost instantly connected to the player. The blue LED that indicates the connection is housed under some sort of diffusing case, so it is not a glaring pin source but rather a soft glow.

Pros: Simple setup, unobtrusive, responsive

Cons:

This is a great little device. I have an older NAD integrated amp which still runs like a charm. Of course it can't stream music. The BTA 10 was a simple, inexpensive way to add wireless capability to a solid sounding amp. My iPad instantly recognizes the unit and has never dropped, stuttered or otherwise failed to stream properly. Highly recommend.

Pros: Ease of use Reasonable sound quality

Cons:

I bought this to stream my Spotify account from an old iphone used only for that purpose to my Pioneer surround sound receiver. As other reviewers said - the device needed to be very close to the BTA10 for good reception/transmission. Not a problem since it was used only for that. However, I only have had this unit 13 months and it has already conked out. Just stopped working in mid play and has never worked again. I tried a power reset. Took the app off my phone and reinstalled - it lights up but does nothing else. I only used it about every other weekend - so it is not like I had an enormous amount of hours on it. Truly disappointed at this price point.

Pros: Was easy to hook up

Cons: Had to be close by the sending device and broke way too soon

Excellent product! I put this Bluetooth adapter in my pole barn and it reaches to about 60 feet. Also great shipping and great company.

Pros: Excellent distance Perfect

Cons: None yet

This product actually works but the output is highly distorted in the bass. The sound was so bad I was worried that the speakers (high end Bang and Olfason) were going bad. This guy might be ok to power some computer speakers but I would not trust it for high fidelity.

Pros: works

Cons: awful sound

Size wise is smaller than I expected and its discreet, but best of all it serves its purpose!

Pros:

Cons:

Thank you Crutchfield! Your phone rep guided me to exactly the right product, it was easy to install and sounds wonderful. I can now use Bluetooth to play iTunes from my phone through the house speaker system! The easy and quality is fabulous!

Pros:

Cons:

This product does everything it was advertised to accomplish. Shipping was very fast.

Pros: Easy to set up.

Cons: A very minor reduction in sound quality.

Product was easy to install and works seamlessly with my Bose 3-2-1 stereo. I used it to stream radio content from my Apple iPad to my Bose for expanded content and better sound of that content. Before making my purchase I consulted with a Crutchfield specialist and the advise given was totally accurate (thank you, Paul). The actual device is very small and can sit right on top of the Bose without issue.

Pros: It works! Little if any distortion so delivers great sound. Easy to install. Very small so almost unnoticeable. Inexpensive.

Cons: None.

Easy to use, good sound, but not a whole-house solution and a little buggy

Pros: Very simple setup, cool blue light

Cons: Doesn't easily handoff between devices. Short range, not a good solution for multi-room systems. Hangs and requires occasional power cycling

Works GREAT with my old but favorite Harmon Kardon HK3400 receiver and new ipod touch (6th generation). The two units connected via Bluetooth seamlessly and the music quality from my old but favorite large Sony speakers is awesome. Initially tried connecting the HK BTA 10 into the "phono" audio jacks (there are no "aux" jacks on my receiver) but music quality was poor. Then tried connecting to the "CD" audio jacks on receiver and that worked perfectly.

Pros: Easy install, seamless functioning and excellent quality of music

Cons: May need to try a few audio jacks on receiver to find the one that works best and delivers awesome music quality

This was a great purchase. I wish I would have bought one of these long ago.

Pros: Easy to hook up and use.

Cons: none

Good product. Great service from Crutchfield. I will highly recommend them to anyone who wants top rated products at a decent price coupled with excellent customer service.

Pros:

Cons:

it was not hard to hook up it was easy and I was Listening to the sounds Thank you very much .

Pros:

Cons:

Works well. Easy to set up. Working with a System76 Ubuntu 16.04 Linux laptop.

Pros: Easy to set up.

Cons: None

Connected to my Yamaha integrated amp. Turned on Bluetooth on my apple iPhone and the connection was made. Super simple even for a non techy. Sounds great. No problems. I love it.

Pros: Easy to use. Sounds great.

Cons:

I just installed this - it was easy to install, is easy to use, and works perfectly! I wish I had purchased one of these a long time ago! We use this to connect our phones, laptops, and tablets to our Sony stereo. This is great!

Pros: Very easy connection Sounds good Very affordable Easy to use

Cons:

the best thing I ever parched It works great. Vintage stereo with no remote & now I con control everything from my phone. LOVE IT!

Pros:

Cons:

Ease of use and clear sound but some connectivity issues at moderate distances

Pros:

Cons:

Easy installation, great sound quality, good range.

Pros: Works great

Cons: None

Great product for my "old school" system merging with new tech. Love It!!

Pros: Compact and easy to set-up

Cons: None

Great sound and easy to use.

Pros:

Cons:

Works great, simple to set up and use. It's range a bit limited but I have a solid concrete floors walls ceilings so that may be the reason. But really not a big issue.

Pros: Easy, quick and pretty much idiot proof

Cons: Range is a little less than expected

Product works great. An on and off switch would be nice.

Pros: Works Great

Cons: No on and Off

Some occasional skipping/popping which I have not experienced with other Bluetooth receivers, even at close range. Does not make the unit unusable, but it is an annoyance.

Pros:

Cons:

Love it it was easy to set up

Pros:

Cons:

Just hooked one up to the Bose Acoustic Wave in the middle of my warehouse. Getting 50 feet range with no discernible sound degradation. Woo Hoo!

Pros: Better range than expected.

Cons: Might be spending more time at work.

Received in mail and straight to my Yamaha S501 amp I went to hook up. The hook up is easy just decide where you want to hook it LINE 1 etc. I picked the CD. Will be honest in telling you at first I thought it was not going to work. The reason is I was looking for it under Wi-Fi not BLUETOOTH( LOL-embarrassing myself) you want to listen to streaming music this is a must! It sounds great and hooks up fast...if u know where to look! Bah Ha Ha

Pros: Hooks up easy and sound is great! Just what you need to use your AMP etc. to stream music.

Cons: I wish they could have made the wires a little longer for placing purposes.

Unlike everything else I have bought from Crutchfield, this bluetooth adapter from Harmon/Kardon proved to be unsatisfactory twice. The first one I received paired fairly well but the only way to get it to play without stopping and starting over and over was to move my streaming device within three feet of the adapter. Crutchfield quickly replaced the defective unit with another one just like it. However, this one would not pair with my phone or my laptop both of which are by Apple. Now I'm looking for another brand to try. If you try Harmon/Kardon I hope you have better luck than I did.

Pros: None

Cons: One would not pair with iphone or Macbook Pro and the other would only work properly when the streaming device was within three feet. High price, too.

I received the product a few days after ordering. It works great and was very easy to connect. I powered everything up and paired it in seconds and started listening to music.

Pros:

Cons:

so this little gizmo does exactly what it says it'll do and that is to stream audio to your audio system. harmon/kardon are to be congratulated on this device. paired easily enough to an older phone and ipad mini which, in turn, is hooked up to an older Cambridge desktop stereo system. tunes come thru sounding great, given what I'm working with, and so far not a single drop. while I'm not in any hurry to drop my cd collection I do appreciated the flexibility this device adds to the workplace soundscape. and should I even be in a generous mood I may allow a coworker to pair with this gizmo. but that's not likely.

Pros:

Cons:

Works very well. Great way to add Bluetooth to anything with the proper inputs.

Pros:

Cons:

Great product! I plugged it in, connected it to my receiver, set up the WiFi on my iPhone and had access to my complete music library. Fantastic!

Pros:

Cons:

I was excited to get it, to turn my HK receiver Bluetooth.........however, I was slightly disappointed....the BTA10 works relatively fine as advertised, if you plan on keeping your phone/iPad/tablet close to it....my max distance is just about 10 ft.....also, the volume is very low, so I have to crank receiver to -17dB to get it at about good listening level.

Pros: - Works as advertised

Cons: - Low Volume - Limited distance

Great and Clear Sound!

Pros:

Cons:

Works great.

Pros: Great quality sound

Cons: Wish distance was a tad longer range. But still great!

This works great. The sound quality is excellent.

Pros: Very easy to set up an connect Sound quality is very good

Cons: None so far

We have a Bose Wave and the Bose Bluetooth adapter stoped working.This is the perfect replacement for half the price, sound quality is perfect.

Pros:

Cons:

I had to place my phone directly in front to connect. Not a good connection rom even 5 feet away. I'd be better of with a straight av input from phone to my jukebox.

Pros:

Cons: Weak connection

This Bluetooth receiver is awesome!!! Worth every dime, music is clear, hooked it to my stereo in garage since it won't get fm radio stations and sick of making cds, just hookup cell phone thru Bluetooth and play my music, going to order another for my other stereo. GOOD BYE CD's!!!!

Pros: Small in size

Cons: Wish I didn't buy it sooner

I have an older but high end stereo system. Until now my listening was limited to CDs and LPs. The Harman Kardon BTA 10 has expanded my listening library to anything on the internet. The fidelity is good and volume is adequate if the phone volume is turned up to the max which allows control through the preamplifier. The set up took 2 minutes and it performs as advertised. It is certainly a welcome addition to what my kids call an antique!

Pros: Very easy set up. Good fidelity.

Cons: None at this point.

Use this Bluetooth adapter to be able to listen to my music list on my Yamaha 1020 receiver. Installation was a snap and my phone was able to recognize the Bluetooth device and hook it up to my phone without a problem. The sound is fabulous and I am more than happy with this purchase and would highly recommend it for anybody who wants to get Bluetooth to an old-type stereo.

Pros:

Cons:

I have two very nice sounding older stereo receivers, but they do not have Bluetooth. This device solves that problem. It is very easy to hook up, and I do not notice any loss of sound quality while sending a signal from my iphone. To my ears it sounds better than a hardwire analog connection from my phone to the receiver.

Pros: Saves you from having to get a new receiver with Bluetooth.

Cons: It is so small you will need to take care not to misplace it if you move it around.

Works like a champ! My 11 year old son opened the box and had it installed before I even got home!

Pros:

Cons:

Harman Kardon quality all the way. Plug in and go...simple as that. All the cables included to connect the HK BTA 10 to my 1975 Marantz amp.

Pros:

Cons:

It is much smaller than I expected, but the size has nothing to do the performance. I connected Harman Kardon BTA 10 to one of audio inputs of Yamaha RX-770 stereo receiver via RAC plugs. With this setup, I can listen to the music on my iPhone through large speakers connected to RX-770. I also connect my MacBook to listen Pandora music. It is working well as expected - very easy to connect to iPhone and MacBook via bluetooth, and the audio quality is fine.

Pros: inexpensive, high quality sound, easy to setup, very small size

Cons: None

Amazingly easy to setup! Took 15 minutes. A little time to connect amplifier to determine the mode, plugged in dvd. Works perfectly. I was surprised how small the unit is only 1 1/2" x 1 1/2"x 5/8"!

Pros:

Cons:

PRODUCT IS SMALL AND EASY TO HOOK UP AND DOES A GREAT JOB

Pros:

Performs as expected. I have it connected to my Bose Lifestyle system which is not Bluetooth enabled. It streams from my Amazon Echo Dot, phone and iPad very well. It allows me to take full advantage of the Bose sound. Easy to connect and set up. Disconnects easily as well.

Pros: Easy connection and syncs quickly. Great sound.

Cons: None so far

This little BT receiver is fantastic! I wish I wasn't a cheap person sometimes. I would have saved money by buying this one first. I saw this one a while back when looking for BT receivers to hook up to my system. I didn't want to spend the extra money for it so I bought a cheap one. It was the rechargeable receiver. That lasted just a few weeks and the battery wouldn't charge. I bought a second one. That one wouldn't keep connected. Well here I am 100+ in to BT receivers. I can be on the back porch and I have no reception issues. The range is much better than the battery powered receivers. I'm no audio junkie, but the sound is just as clear as my record player and just as clear as when I had my tablet hook directly to my receiver. It came with all the cables needed and set up was super quick and easy. My setup is pictured below. Marantz 2238B receiver, Marantz 6110 record player, a pair of Marantz Imperial 7 speakers and a pair of Technics SB CR77. All are now pushed by a AudioSource AMP310VS. Absolutely LOVE this bluetooth receiver.

Pros: AC powered not DC Small Clear sound Easy set up Comes with everything you need to hook it up

Cons: NONE!

Works great! Connected it to Bose Lifestyle 28. Can stream audio from my phone and from my computer.

Pros:

Cons:

Works as advertised! I am very pleased with this purchase.

Pros:

Cons:

No more CD player, No more record player, No more tape player. But my high quality amplifier and speakers remain the same. All music is now copied from my computer to an iPod and blue toothed into the BTA 10. Setup now takes up a lot less room. Sound quality is outstanding and selecting music is much more efficient.

Pros:

Cons:

Great item! Easy to pair to my iPad and use with my Bose wave music system. Just what I was looking for. Sound is terrific!!

Pros:

Cons:

The Harman Kardon BTA 10 works every time and it was a piece of cake to install, just two connections and sync your phone. I bought the unit for the cycle studio at the gym, everyone is happy. The sound is no different streaming through the BTA as it is hardwire connected. Couldn't be happier. Oh yea, I ordered and had the device the very next day with free shipping. Crutchfield still dispenses the "WOW FACTOR" on a regular basis...

Pros: Great sound, easy connections.

Cons: none

The unit works well, now that I know how to use it correctly. There were no instructions or information as to how the unit should be plugged in or operates. For example, it shuts off after not being used for 10 minutes. When I called to ask for help, I mentioned to the rep on the phone that the lack of FAQs or helpful info was irritating - his response was "yeah, I agree". I have called 2 times to get help on troubleshooting - (I am not someone who knows about stereo stuff anyway) and both times I was helped satisfactorily. The service was good, perhaps they can ask the manufacturer to provide more detail for the "stereo knowledge impaired", like me!

Pros:

Cons:

Works Great up to about 25 feet

Pros:

Cons:

Works like a charm. It makes an old receiver modern with this gadget. It is worth to own one..........

Pros: Makes old receiver modern.....

Cons: None

I have a couple of older stereo receivers that I've had for a few years that I haven't been using since I upgraded to a new home theatre receiver for tv and movies and they still work great. The problem with them is they don't have newer technology like Bluetooth etc. I wished I could use them in my game room to play music off my iPhone or iPad, but without Bluetooth I couldn't do it. I didn't know about the Bluetooth adapters that we're on the market until I did a search and found out they were available. I ordered the BTA-10 from Crutchfield and it works great and opens up a new way to use my older stereo receivers.

Pros: I can now play my digital music from my iPhone and iPad on my old stereo receiver.

Cons: None so far.

Added to a old sony surround system. Easy to hook up and works great.

Pros:

Cons:

Could not be any easier to install and use, works great, no worries! Great price as well and ordering from Crutchfield is always a breeze.

Pros: Useful, cheap solution to connecting home stereo to digital music devices.

Cons: None.

Awesome product! I'm now able to play my music from my other devices. Really satisfied with the distance that the Bluetooth provides as well. I'm going to order another one next week.

Pros: Sleek, attractive and provides great distance between the device and your music source. Product is small enough to hide if you don't want it seen.

Cons: Unable to find any.

Love it. No more aux cord!!!

Easy to install. Worked on all mu devices without issue.
