Amazing functionality. I got these to watch and listen to my living room TV when there is a lot of noisy visitors in the house. It works great and I can listen to my shows with no problem now. I am a little hearing impaired so I had to increase the volume of my TV before but that is not the case anymore.The only reason why I deducted one star is because I can still hear the noises coming from the kitchen when my kid is talking to other kids. It is not too inconvenient as I can still hear my show higher than the muffled voices but it is still a little distracting.

The HomeSpot JY300 Neckband Earphones and Auracast Audio Broadcaster kit arrived well packaged with everything you need. The broadcaster, neckband earphones, a power adapter for the broadcaster with USB cable, a charging cable for the earphones, various sized ear tips for the earphones, 3 different audio connection cables including an optical cable, and of course a manual.There’s also a more thorough manual online.After charging the headphones, setup and pairing was easy with the Broadcaster. I love it when technology just seems to work without a hassle. The headphones have a nice crisp high end and a decent bass, which isn’t over the top. The sound isn’t quite as good as my over the ear headphones but better than most of my other ear buds. The headphones also easily paired to my phone with no issues.The broadcaster does indeed send a powerful signal with its Auracast technology, and I could stay connected at the far end of the house. Auracast is the new Bluetooth technology that allows for multiple simultaneous connections and a wider broadcast range, with next to no latency. You can have an open broadcast where anyone with Auracast enabled headphones can join in if they are in range or set the broadcaster to private where it’s just you allowed to listen.We have a home gym and I like to watch one of our streaming services when I workout. I need the volume up so I can hear the show over the noise from the stationary bike or treadmill, but if my wife is trying to read or work etc it’s kind of annoying for her to listen to whatever is on the Television, so headphones are ideal for when she is home.That brings me to my only quibble so far with this system. I can hear a bit of interference from the motor when I am on the treadmill. It’s only really noticeable when there is a quiet moment in whatever I am watching, and it’s just a faint bit of static. The issue could be with the inexpensive treadmill we have or something else specific to our setup although I haven’t noticed this with the Bluetooth speaker I sometimes use.

I mostly like this "HomeSpot JY300 Neckband Earphones and Auracast Audio Broadcaster".This tech has been a long time coming ("broadcast" Bluetooth) but now that it's here I couldn't be happier! Auracast is part of the Bluetooth 5.2 standard and essentially is multi-user Bluetooth. That means anyone with an Auracast-compliant set of earphones/headphones can listen to a high quality (Bluetooth quality) audio stream. You could be quietly watching a movie with private audio at home with your partner or sitting in a theatre with 500+ people all wearing Auracast headphones and listening to the same high-quality broadcast - with the rest of the world not hearing a thing. You just need a single broadcaster device and as many Auracast earphones/headphones as you have people needing to listen to the same stream. I found the same earphones sold separately here on Amazon along with a bunch of other manufacturers, too.This HomeSpot Auracast broadcaster/earphone combo works great. Here's what I liked:-easy setup and easy to use touch controls (the raised buttons in different shapes make it easy to pause/skip, etc.)-MASSIVE signal range (even the worst case scenarios allowed crystal clear audio reception everywhere inside and outside my house)-SPDIF optical support alongside standard 3.5mm/RCA inputs-lots of accessories included (different ear bud sizes, wire clips, USB A power adapter, USB C to A power/charging cables)-great audio quality (just like the Bluetooth streams you are using today)-both the broadcaster AND earphones support PD (USB C) power sources if you don't want to use the included USB A brick and power cables-you can flip between private (encrypted) and broadcast (shared) audio modes with the press of a button-the QKAudio app (tested on Android) works well and is easy to navigate and use-they included a desktop headphone hanger complete with a foam adhesive stripHere's what I didn't like:-everything has a basic quality vibe to it, especially the broadcaster (headphones are better)-the earbuds aren't comfortable, at least for me (I'm an over-ear type of listener)-the design of the broadcaster is a bit crappy - the LEDs are hard to see and are only visible directly from the front of the unit. The Bluetooth multi-function button (MFB) is located between the power and audio input jacks, so it's very difficult to press when the device is in use.Overall I am happy with this Auracast system. I think it's totally cool that you can now share high quality Bluetooth audio streams with MANY friends and family members - all without disturbing others.Recommended!

I often watch TV when I am working out. The problem is the TV sound disturbs others especially since we have a shift worker living here.This audio Auracast compatible broadcaster with neckband earphones is the perfect solution for transmitting sound from any device, wirelessly to the neckband earphones.The broadcaster arrived well-packaged. It includes the broadcaster, one set of neckband earphones, a power cable for the broadcaster, a charging cable for the earphones, a power adapter, several ear tips for the earphones, a user manual, and 3 different audio connection cables. They also include as a gift a holder for the earphones that has tape on it so you can attach it anywhere.Once connected the broadcaster will broadcast the sound up to 100 feet to the neckband earphones. It uses Auracast technology. Auracast technology is a new Bluetooth technology that allows audio to be broadcasted to an unlimited number of devices at the same time, unlike normal Bluetooth that usually only transmits to 1 or 2 devices max.I used the 1/8 inch audio cable to connect this to the audio out on the TV and it worked flawlessly.The quality of the sound is amazing! Some of the best I have heard. The earphones have several buttons that allow you to control the volume and turn the earphones off.The broadcaster also has normal Bluetooth mode so you can use it to connect to any Bluetooth earphones or headphones. This is ideal if you want to use earphones that are not Auracast compatible. You select this mode by tapping the button on the broadcaster 3 times. I tried this with some earphones that I have and it paired perfectly. The distance when using the normal Bluetooth mode is not as far as the Auracast mode which connects to the supplied earphones.You can connect multiple Auracast earphones to the broadcaster. Extra JY300 earphones are just under $60 and readily available but any Auracast compatible headphones and ear phones will work.There is a dedicated app you can download as well if you want to play back different Auracast broadcasts. A button on the earphones lets you navigate through and saved broadcasts you may have.I am very happy with these earphones with the broadcaster. They are ideal when you want to listen to TV or any other audio source without disturbing others. The Auracast feature is great for connecting multiple devices and is a huge upgrade from normal Bluetooth. I do recommend it.

I like that this is able to function with the broadcast device, or as a pure bluetooth headset. I can use this at home and easily switch and take it outside.Connecting this via the broadcast method was easy. It is powered by usb, and all the cables for connection are supplied. I first tested this on my pc with the 3.5mm cable, and there was a constant static noise coming through with the Auracast setting. It was like a minor buzz where it didn't even matter if there was audio coming through. It wasn't overpowering, but enough to be annoying. I then plugged it into my tablet with the same cable, but the noise persisted. After switching to broadcast via bluetooth mode, there was no static and it worked fine.When using it as a standalone bluetooth device, there wasn't any static as well.The headset works well. In most earbuds sets, they don't work unless both buds are put in. It doesn't do that here, so I can listen with just one ear.The earbuds are comfortable. It felt secure, and the default gel pieces formed a solid seal around the ear. Even though these are not noise cancelling, it does a passable job blocking out external noises.The battery life is impressive. This doesn't have a case to recharge them, but it's been fine. I wear them for a few hours everyday and it has lasted throughout the week. It charges via usb with a port on the side. It is really hard to open the cover though. The nib is too small to grip onto and needs fingernails to pinch them open.Overall I am happy with this. It is easy to set up, and the bluetooth mode works well. If you want to watch tv without disrupting others, then this is a good product to get.Four stars.

The HomeSpot JY300 Neckband Headphones + BA210 Auracast Transmitter Bundle has upgraded how I enjoy movies and shows, especially late at night. No more battling with the volume while everyone else in the house is around or dealing with laggy Bluetooth connections. This setup works.The sound quality is crisp and rich, thanks to aptX Lossless and LC3 support, and it feels like I’m getting the whole audio experience without any wires holding me back. The neckband design is also super comfy, which surprised me! I can wear it for hours without that ear fatigue you sometimes get from over-ear headphones.The bundle comes with everything you need: optical, RCA, and 3.5mm input support, which made setup a breeze with my older TV. And the 40-hour battery life? Unreal. I’ve charged it once in over a week of use.If you're someone who needs a wireless audio solution for your TV or home setup but don’t want to sacrifice sound quality, this bundle is 100% worth it.

I never thought I would need a product like this, but if you are in a room with a television and other people don’t want to listen or are trying to sleep, then this will allow you to mute your television while also being able to listen to it through the headphones. The package comes with multiple adapters but I hooked up the transmitter to the optical cable and linked the headset to the transmitter. Once that was completed I could hear the tv through my headset while also hearing the tv speakers. Once I muted the tv, I could still hear the sound through my headphones without disturbing others in the room. I would recommend if you have family members that work different hours or would like to enjoy listening to the tv without disturbing others.

I got this bundle so I could watch TV with headphones on without disturbing anyone else, and overall, I’m really happy with it. Setup was relatively easy—even though it looked a little intimidating at first, the instructions were clear and helpful. I was impressed that they included three different types of auxiliary cords (optical, RCA, and 3.5 mm), so it can connect to a wide range of devices depending on what your TV or computer supports.The headphones are lightweight and surprisingly comfortable. I have ear piercings that usually make earbuds uncomfortable, but these didn’t bother me at all—even after wearing them for three hours straight. The wireless range is excellent—I was able to walk outside my apartment and still hear the TV clearly. No issues with audio lag or syncing either, which is a huge plus.The buttons on the neckband are easy enough to use, though I found the power button placement a little unintuitive. I kept expecting the round button to turn it on, but it’s actually the triangle-shaped play button. Once I got used to it, it was fine.The sound quality is decent, but not quite as rich or crisp as I hoped—totally usable for everyday TV watching, but it’s the one thing keeping this from being a 5-star product for me.As for the price, I’ve never used a setup like this before, so I don’t have much to compare it to. At $75, it feels a bit expensive—I think I’d be more comfortable with a $60 price point. That said, I can’t yet speak to durability since I haven’t had it long enough to know how well it holds up.Overall, this is a solid 4 out of 5—comfortable, easy to use, and great for its intended purpose.

I was looking for a high-quality wireless audio solution, especially one that could provide the best possible sound quality and potentially broadcast to multiple devices simultaneously. This HomeSpot bundle, combining their JY300 neckband headphones and BA210 Auracast transmitter, is incredibly feature-rich and delivered on all fronts.First, the headphones. The JY300 are neckband style, which I find comfortable for long listening sessions. They support advanced audio codecs like aptX Lossless and LC3, which promise extremely high-fidelity audio wirelessly. The sound quality is genuinely impressive, clear and detailed. With a 40-hour battery life, they last ages on a single charge.The BA210 transmitter is the real standout feature here, especially the Auracast support (which is a new broadcasting audio standard). It can connect to various audio sources via Optical, RCA, or 3.5mm inputs, making it compatible with TVs, stereos, or other devices. It can transmit using aptX Lossless/LC3 to the headphones for the best quality. The Auracast functionality is cool because it means you could potentially broadcast audio to multiple compatible Auracast devices simultaneously (like a silent TV audio setup where multiple people listen with their own headphones). This bundle gives you both a high-quality listening device and a versatile transmitter capable of cutting-edge audio tech. If you're an audiophile or someone who wants a high-fidelity wireless setup with broadcasting capabilities, this bundle is a powerful and future-proof option.

Like it for when im doing chores or cooking in the other room when watching tv. The set up was easy enough by plugging it into my amazon fire tv. The sound quality was good. I wouldve prefered an earpiece that hooks around the ear. A bit on the pricey side.
