Reviews around way (4.38 of 5)

  • I would recommend this as a simple way to add speakers or headphones to a computer that has a damaged or missing sound card.
  • Matter fact,this is a more stable way to use a headphone setup anyway!
  • Will remove review if I ever get a refund but the product is horrible either way.
  • My headphone jack was getting worn out and this was an inexpensive and easy way to "fix" the problem
  • Originally that wasn't an issue, until I bought a monitor with no built in speakers, and learned the hard way that Windows 8.1 doesn't like to play more than one sound source at a time through a Bluetooth speaker

  • Nice little device that can bypass a LOT of headaches in certain situations.
  • The device really did work right out of the box, once I went into OS X's sound settings

Reviews around static (3.37 of 5)

  • Most of the time I can't hear anything, but if I scream into the mic I can hear a faint static
  • After testing them side-by-side, with the same mic and same input levels on my computer, I found that the Plugable adapter doesn't record nearly as well as the SYBA adapter.
  • No delay or static.
  • this adapter causes very loud static which makes it impossible to hear the audio and the worst part about it, it's intermittent (but very frequent.)I would give 5 negative stars if that was an option
  • It works exactly as it should, with no sound popping, or distortion

Reviews around bite (1.00 of 5)

  • However, the usb is a bit small, and therefore a bit flimsy
  • Fit is a bit more problematic, and will vary dependent upon both device and earbuds/headphones
  • Only complaint is its a bit big for the raspberry pi slots to have another usb next to it due to the width.
