HomeSpot Bluetooth Audio Transmitter Adapter for Nintendo Switch HS3-NS001-RB-V2

This product blew my mind. If you're on the fence, just grab it. It allows you to connect up to 2 pairs of audio devices, and it works beautifully with my wireless earbuds (they only take up 1 of the 2 connections!). The wow-factor lies is in its tight and compact form, as well as how it can be used with other devices with a USB A/USB C port. I for example, currently have it plugged into my laptop, and it sits nice and flush against the edge, barely protruding more than the nano receiver for my mouse. Essentially, buy this, and you can easily set up a dual headphone/earbud combo enabling you to cleanly share the device audio with a friend. Definitely recommended. (Yes, my laptop has bluetooth, but it's definitely way quicker to just plug in the adapter and push the button to pair extra audio devices.)

Pros - Works with a variety of Bluetooth codecs. But you should only use aptX LL. - Small and practically weightless, easy to take along with you. - Comes with a carry case for the dongle and the adapter. - Very easy to use. Ready to go in a few seconds. - Clear LEDs indicators that you can hide by connecting it backwards if you prefer. - Comes in different colours. - Great quality audio with support up to Bluetooth 5.0 (compatible with my 4.2 headphones), but... Cons - ...it's still Bluetooth quality. Majority of users should be happy, but absolute hardcore audiophiles may have some issues with it. - Very tiny rattling sound due to the buttons being a tiny bit loose if you shake it very hard... and hold it close to your ear (Why are you shaking it?). You won't notice it while you're using it, though. - The HOMESPOT Logo on it looks like it says HOUESPOT or HOWESPOT. Yep, that's really all I can think of. Couldn't be happier with this product! Fits neatly at the bottom and doesn't get in the way or add any noticeable weight to the Switch. It's also not so small that you will struggle take it off. LEDs clearly display when your device is connected. I haven't been able to test it, but it can also pair with a second headset. It's easy to pair; just follow the included instructions and you'll be set to go in no time. Sound quality is great, though keep in mind it's Bluetooth Audio; don't expect studio grade quality. It has an internal mic, but I have not had the chance to use it. The build is nice and solid overall. You'll have to try hard to bend or break the case. There is a tiny rattle sound when you shake it. It seems there is a tiny bit of space between the buttons and the casing, but you need to shake it very hard and hold it somewhat close to your ear to hear it. When it's attached to your Switch, you'd have to shake the whole thing quite violently to hear it. You won't feel the rattle when it's attached. I've played in quiet areas and on trains and I did not notice this at all. I only noticed it while I was taking pictures of it for this review. If the LEDs bother you, you can just plug it in backwards. It comes with a soft little carry case that closes with Velcro. It also comes with a USB-A adapter so you can plug it into your Switch dock for Bluetooth audio on the TV, or if you want to plug it into some other device like your computer, compatible sound system etc. You won't be able to use the kickstand when it's attached because the unit causes the switch to become unbalanced. But if you have some other third party stand, you *might* be able to use it depending on which one you have. I have the Hori Multiport USB Stand and it works on that when connected to one of the USB slots. Just make sure your headphones, earbuds etc. supports the aptX Low Latency Bluetooth Codec (aptX LL) so there is no sound latency between what is displayed and when you hear the audio. Some people are okay with the latency that comes from standard aptX, but for me it's very distracting. I currently use the HyperX Could Mix, and I experience zero latency. (Side note: aptX LL still has latency between 30-40ms, but you won't be able to notice it. Whereas standard aptX has 60-80ms which has very noticeable latency for me. AAC has 90-150ms and SBC has 170-270, which everyone will notice and only find it useful for music where there is no video to sync to). I've seen some people claim that their AirPods work without latency, but I can't test that for myself. I do have the Samsung Galaxy Buds (2019) and they had very noticeable lag for me. Overall, I would recommend this product to anyone provided you equipment supports aptX LL (but won't LL be needed if you're just using it purely for music). It works perfectly, and has and does everything you would want from such a product. I don't think there is any reason to try anything else.

Works with my AirPods

Great product! Why Nintendo didn't include bluetooth in the switch is a mystery to me, probably so they can sell an updated version later... Things I liked: - Well built - Intuitive connection and interface (two buttons only) - Ability to pair two headphones - Multiple codecs supported - Ability to connect to Switch dock and stream to headphone (allows me to play on the TV AND let the babies sleep) - Accessories included are top notch (usb-c to usb-a adapter, microphone, small carrying case) - Better price and quality compared to similar products - Incredible customer service, responded right away to my inquiries Things that could improve: - Documentation - more troubleshooting steps or ideas in documentation - Website needs to include documentation and support for device - A little bit of wobble when attached to Switch (still very secure) - No usb-c passthrough (this would make the adapter a lot bulkier and isn't really feasible but I would like to be able to charge my switch at the same time) I use Bose QC35, my headphones had a little audio lag but that was due to the codec used by my headphones, if you have Bose QC35 don't buy a new pair they'll work just fine but if you are looking for headphones for this adapter choose something that supports a lower latency codec. Also, if you are having trouble with the Switch recognizing the adapter try restarting the switch with the adapter connected.

Das Produkt ist wirklich super verarbeitet und optisch passend zur Switch. Die Kopplung mit meinem Bose QC35 war super einfach und hat auf Anhieb ohne Probleme geklappt. Qualität der Übertragung ist wirklich super. Klasse ist auch, das ein kleiner USB Adapter direkt mitgeliefert wird, dass das Bluetoothmodul auch an der Dockingstation im TV Modus verwendet werden kann. Mit im Lieferumfang ist auch noch ein kleines Täschchen, damit der Adapter geschützt transportiert werden kann. Das Produkt ist wirklich jeden Cent wert.
