An $80.00 value for only $5.95. Every once in a while the King comes up with an idea that almost leads to mutiny. This is one of those times. The Royal Court was discussing how much to price the WBT210 which retails between $70.00 and $80.00 (plus shipping). The King said "$12.95". The Royal Court was outraged. "Don't you know that this receives Bluetooth wireless audio utilizing your favorite headphone and has built in support for answering calls from most Bluetooth enabled phones," The Queen exclaimed. The King was not moved. "Not only that," The King countered " the receiver works with most bluetooth enabled transmitters or bluetooth enabled PC, MP3 player or cellular phone with digital quality stereo sound, and, has up to a 30ft range." The King would not budge, and, well, he is the King. So now you could create a personal area network using a universal wireless technology that delivers secure point to point connections between bluetooth enabled devices up to 30 feet. Additionally, you never have to miss another call because you are listening to your portable audio devices! The WBT210 automatically switches to telephone for incoming calls. It comes with a rechargeable battery and includes an AC adapter and USB adapter for charging. An $80.00 value for the low THING FLING price of $5.95. Item is brand new in unopened packaging. Packages may be slightly ripped.

This seems very interesting, but could you tell me this - what are some practical applications? Thanks.

Uh, like when you use your cellphone to listen to music, and you are doing it wirelessly, and a call comes in, you can answer. Or using your pc as a musicplayer and you get a Skype-call, you can answer (I think). All of this and you're not connected to your device, so you can get up and walk away, no cables to drag your device to the ground. I do wonder about the audio quality though, because I cannot stand using a Bluetooth headset. No one can hear me! Any personal opinions of actual users?

does anyone [that includes you flingers who admin this site] know if you can pair two receivers to one transmitter, so that two can share the fun [and music] together?
I can't seem to find a manual online, what is the pairing proceedure.
May thanks, dB

Thanks. i personally bought this because i wanted to wirelessly use the noise canceling earphones i previously purchased on thingfling. i already have a transmitter that came with an uncomfortable bluetooth headset, so i only needed the receiver. also, my cellphone doesn't have a standard audio output jack, so unless i use bluetooth, i'm forced to use the cheap earphones that came with my phone or to fork over more dough to buy nice earphones that connect to usbext. i already have nice earphones from thingfling, so this bluetooth receiver can act as a bridge between my cell and my existing earphones. mediaocker wrote:does anyone [that includes you flingers who admin this site] know if you can pair two receivers to one transmitter, so that two can share the fun [and music] together?

May thanks, dB i believe bluetooth 1.x can only support 1 connection at a time. some "smarter" ones (i.e., better programmed) can switch between multiple connections, but can't maintain simultaneous connections. bluetooth 2.0 supports up to 6 simultaneous connections at time. this is important for my cellphone so that i don't lose connection to my gps receiver when i get a call that's directed to my headset. most devices are 1.1 or 1.2. it doesn't matter if this receiver is 1.x as long as the transmitter you get is 2.0. you would pair it using the device's normal procedure.

I'm disappointed that thingfling doesn't say the lowest price you can find this at like they normally do. It sells for $17.49 at Amazon and the reviews are less than inspiring. Save your money. http://www.amazon.com/Je...ansmitter/dp/B000CMS7II

I apologize that the link above is for the wrong item. Its for the sending unit while this is the receiving. The reviews however should still be relevant.

So i figurer this would allow me to hook my bluetooth enabled phone/computer to my stereo. Isn't the half of the combo yall were selling a while back? I already got the USB bluetooth for my computer several months ago when it was offered, so the combination was another USB bluetooth that I didn't need.
How does it work when I get a call when I'm using it with the phone?
Ring tone (SB techno) blares through the stereo's speakers. I hit the button to answer said call. How can they hear me talking? If there is indeed a mic on the unit or it defaults to the phone mic how would feedback be prevented? Is this just the bluetooth version of the wired thing I recently got for my phone: Made to clip on the lapel and has a mic, then you plug in head phones.
*wonders if he will wake up in time to purchase if there is a satisfactory answer.*

Hmmm edit button doesn't work.
So reply it is...
Upon further inspection it says real big on the package it has a mic. Silly unobservant me. The feedback question still stands.
I can't seem to find what I thought I had seen was a combo of the usb bluetooth receiver/transmitter and the stereo receiver in the past forum descriptions. Maybe I was dreaming.
