![Syncwire Bluetooth 5.3 FM Transmitter Car Adapter 54W (PD 36W & 18W) [Stronger Dual Mics] [Light Switch] [HiFi Bass Sound] [F](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71KGKQtkDRL._AC_UL160_SR160,160_.jpg)
This was an easy and cheap way to send music all through my house. Now I can walk through the house with the same music (usually a baseball game) on all the various stereos, alarm clocks, etc. in the house with no lag between them. Compared to setting up $100 per unit AirPlay or other receivers, this has been great. I even got out my old walkman for listening in the back yard and it's fine. The quality is not "hiss free CD quality" but it sure beats running wires to each room, or a herd of $40 apps to send sound from your computer to your phones and old iPods. We already know how to do that - it's called radio.
I do wish it were legal to use the longer antenna. Oh well. It took about 15 minutes to adjust the sound output from my computer to the right level. The sound is quite passable. Some radio receivers are really awful. My alarm clock (iHome) is actually excellent, but my cheap-o iPod/FM receiver is terrible, and it has ultra-fine-tuning FM ability, which might be the problem. My ancient Sony AM/FM alarm clock with analog tuning is great. My Sony digital walkman is decent. It seems that a wider receive range from an analog tuner picks up better, but the digitals are passable even then. You do still get noise from other devices, typical of FM. In my bathroom I have to put the radio up a little higher to get around a noise spot. This isn't the fault of the transmitter, and is quite easy to deal with.
Pricing a higher fidelity (near CD quality, wired-in, whatever) solution tends to run very expensive very quickly - either needing to buy multiple small units and speakers for various rooms, or a new stereo with wires run to multiple separate rooms, with speakers. Sending audio directly from a computer to an iOS/Android device runs around 4-40 dollars per device, and still, no power, no speakers. They may offer more control, higher quality sound, and so on, but I was not after a whole-house single audio system. I just wanted to be able to hear the same game in the garage as in the kitchen and office. With one purchase I was able to do that, and no apps, no wiring, no drywall repairs, and far less maintenance.

Best one I have tried thus far: You'll need a compressor.
The good: It is easy to set frequency and audio input level. The signal is relatively clean, the unit doesn't seem to cause much interference and broadcast badly on the frequency harmonics. This is very good when compared to the cheaper dirty Chinese transmitters that splatter all over the band. The bad: The unit under deviates within the legal FM bandpass so it is impossible to achieve good volume on the receiver before clipping or distortion. If I were able to increase the FM deviation the problem would be resolved, however, there does not appear to be a way to do this. My second criticism is one that I understand being restricted by FCC regulation, however, I will still state that the signal is weak. For those using this product, ditch the telescoping antenna and use the wire antenna they include in the box. Try to run the wire antenna as straight vertical as possible and away from other metal structures. Using the wire antenna will dramatically improve your transmitter broadcast range.It is not necessary to use batteries to eliminate AC line noise as some others have suggested. I was able to eliminate said noise via use of a Ferrite on the adapter line.Update: I have been able to greatly increase the audio level (loudness) by utilizing an audio processing compressor between the audio source and the transmitter. I would say that I am much more near the loudness level of broadcast stations with mitigated or unnoticeable distortion levels. Those big FM stations use compression to get what has come to be known as "The Sound of Radio" and relates to something known as "The Loudness War." Either way, I purchased audio processing hardware to compress the audio and recreate that big radio sound. At this point I am much happier with the product.As a side note, if your audio source is a PC you can accomplish the kind of compression that radio stations do with software. There is an addon to PulseAudio on Linux that does the job. There are Windows solutions also. I won't mention product names here as I am not sure the Amazon guidelines.Recommended reading: Do an online search for "Audio Compression Options for FM Broadcast" and you should be able to glean what you need to do and know in order to give you much better sound with this transmitter!
