I do have this product. But how do you tell the difference between bluetooth-only and wifi/bluetooth combination of that product? Will it also work on the latest smartphones, such as the Samsung Galaxy S4? Why can't it work with a Y-cable splitter?

I have the bluetooth only model. The lighted symbol on the end box is different on bluetooth and the wifi. I run mine with the captivate S and the Torque app

It is working good with my S3 bluetooth. Search bluetooth device on S3 after you push the button for two seconds on the top on speaker. If it doesn't work, probabily either your phone or speaker is defective.

Hi Aimee -- Brett is correct that with Bluetooth, it's one receiver to one transmitter. Perhaps down the road the technology will change, but for now you could use a splitter along with the included 3.5mm audio cable we include. You'd then have the advantage of being untangled in most cases but also have the option for a wired set up. Thank you.

Mine doesn't work either.It only works i guess on AD2P enabled devices.It doesn't work on amps like the Fiio E-11,TV'S or other non bluetooth enabled devices.Probably won't on iPods iPads etc.

Unfortunately I was unable to get it to pair with any of my devices. Not sure if I got a faulty one or some other error. I bought aBelkin F8Z492TTP Bluetooth Music Receiver on Amazon. Are any of your devices able to recognize it's trying to pair with your respective device? Because none of mine could find the darn thing.

I think the product description has not been updated.I have the iPad Mini and it works! In fact, it should work with every iOS device with Bluetooth.

This IS NOT a Bluetooth device. In fact the description made no mention of such in the description posted on their site. This is strictly a hdmi to hdmi device only. It does have a USB port to connect wireless devices, but that is it. I have multiple tablets/smartphones from Android to iOS. This device was an impulse buy..what a waiste of money! I used it one time only. I spend most of my time on my iPad, Samsung Galaxy Note, or ps3. There is no Amazon Prime app for ANY Android device. So if you are a Prime member...iOS and ps3 are the only options to view Amazon Prime movies/shows. I will sell the Minix to anyone who wants it for twenty bucks...let me know.

I work for a cell phone company and sell the Samsung S4 on a near daily basis. Are you looking to connect the S4 to a computer via the Bluetooth adapter? It really depends on how you plan on using the S4 with the Bluetooth adapter and to which device the Bluetooth adapter is connecting the S4 if it will "work" or not. For example, if you are looking to stream video from the s4 to a computer or a TV with a USB input, no, that will not work. However, Bluetooth is Bluetooth. The phone will have the ability to connect to the USB Bluetooth adapter. But it may or may not work for your purpose. It is a vague answer but so was your question. My suggestion is to just buy the adapter and find out, it is the only way you will know for sure and the USB adapter isn't very expensive so the risk is low. No one here will be able to give you a definitive answer.

I see nothing about bluetooth support. It has audio out phono jacks (red and white), an earphone jack, and a USB port. I does take songs in from Windows Media, but I'm presuming that's part of the WiFi (802.11n) capability. I don't even know if (but doubt that) hooking a bluetooth transmitter to the the USB port work outbound since USB in doesn't necessary mean USB out. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

I doubt it, unless you use a splitter. I have NEVER gotten the Bluetooth to work on this unit, and I don't think Bluetooth works like that. You can hook them up in sequence.

Hello Bill, The wifi on my device works but it does take a bit to connect, most of the time the slow connection is due to the wifi signal I am trying to use. I have noticed issues when using both wifi and Bluetooth at the same time. First, I was using a mini Bluetooth keyboard/mouse device combo but soon realized that it was better to use the on screen keyboard with a wireless mouse (with dongle) or wired mouse. I am guessing the Bluetooth/Wireless card might have difficulty running both at the same time. Also, if you are using the built in wifi connection setting on the device, try using a third party wifi connection app; if you are using a third party app, try using the built in setting.

It works with my Galaxy S3 running CyanogenMod 11 (so I have Bluetooth LE support). Many, probably most, Android phones do not support LE either because it's not in the hardware or it's running a version of Android earlier than 4.3

"Get two bluetooth transmitters. Pair one transmitter to one speaker and the other transmitter to the second speaker. Plug the 3.5 splitter to your source (phone) and then plug both transmitters to the splitter"What Jorge said should work, since he says use 2 transmitters. Each transmitter will connect to one speaker. The phone/tablet won't be handling the bluetooth connection since it is only outputting via headphone jack. It just won't be surround sound. Stereo sound will go to *each* individual speaker. Won't even be true stereo since both L & R channels go to one speaker, but it will sound pretty much as good as stereo.

Does anyone with an iPhone have experience with using this product? I, like the original questioner, need this device just for media/music. My car's Bluetooth is set up for Phone calling/receiving. Apple iPhone does not allow you to set up "Phone only" and "Media only" profiles for Bluetooth like Android does. I'm curious to hear from someone who has used this and owns an iPhone.

Bluetooth only pairs with one device...no threesomes. That is why it called "paring".
