I just received this item today, along with a Sony HWS-BTA2W Two-Way Bluetooth Stereo Adapter. I plan to use these for listening to our bedroom TV when my wife wants to sleep. I read the brief instructions and was able to pair the two devices on my first attempt, using the Sony adapter as a transmitter. Audio quality is more than adequate for watching TV, and even rivaled the quality I would expect from a wired connection. After pairing, I was able to walk out of the bedroom and about 12 feet down the hallway (for a total separation of about 20 feet) before the Bluetooth connection was dropped.
