A receiver and transmitter of audio signals in one device, and in a compact form factor – you might say – impossible. Chinese manufacturers know how to surprise – meet: TX3 USB Bluetooth 5.0 Transmitter. Two-way data exchange, support for modern standards, a luxurious package, and a funny price. What else does a buyer need, dreaming of getting rid of wires in the room or car forever.
TX3 USB Bluetooth 5.0 Transmitter: overview
Externally, it looks like a regular USB drive, complemented by a 3.5mm Jack output and an LED indicator. The kit includes a protective cap for the USB connector, but the quality of the execution is mediocre. The cap is easy to lose when stored separately from the connected receiver.
It’s very good that the package includes an audio cable for connecting to speakers or audio equipment. Yes, the user will not see gold-plated contacts or ferrite filters, but it’s nice that the cable is simply present. If you enjoy using the gadget, you can always buy a high-quality wire.
The LED indicator is also well implemented. Besides blinking frequency, the LED color can change. Red – transmitter mode, blue – receiver mode. There is also an instruction manual. However, the languages are a bit limited – Chinese and English. But with a handy Google Translate, you can quickly get the desired result.
How does the TX3 USB Bluetooth 5.0 Transmitter work
Again, everything is clearly and accessibly described in the manual. Just open it and spend 15 minutes reading. To summarize:
- Transmitter mode. A cable is connected to the 3.5mm port, included in the kit. The other end of the cable is inserted into the audio output of the audio device (signal source). TX3 USB Bluetooth 5.0 Transmitter receives the audio signal via the cable and transmits it wirelessly on Bluetooth 5.0 frequency. You just need to connect headphones, speakers, or other devices with built-in speakers to the “blue tooth”.
- Receiver mode. The 3.5mm cable is connected at one end to the gadget, and at the other end to the speaker system through the appropriate input. The signal source (phone, TV, etc.) connects via Bluetooth.
You will still need to study the manual, as it clearly states the switching algorithm. This can be considered the weakest point of the TX3 USB Bluetooth 5.0 Transmitter. All these operations are performed with just one button. The manufacturer claims a Bluetooth range of 10 meters.
At a price of 6 US dollars, the gadget is quite good. Don’t expect a “wow” effect. But, to understand whether such a receiver-transmitter in a higher quality version is needed for you, a trial is enough. Many buyers ask if the gadget can be used as a USB flash drive. The answer is no, it cannot, as the module does not have built-in memory for data storage. By the way, you can buy the TX3 USB Bluetooth 5.0 Transmitter here.
