Rating  - Sony Bluetooth Wireless Transmiter for iPod
The Sony transmitter allows you to transmit ipod music from the comfort of your easy chair to a stereo system in the same room. If you use it on an older audio system, one that is not Bluetooth, then you need a Sony bluetooth wireless receiver on the stereo system as well. Both can be purchased through Amazon. For me, the beauty of the transmitter is that I can have the iPod right beside me at all times to benefit from its screen information, album artwork, artist, title, rating, progress bar, etc. Before the transmitter, I tried attaching the iPod directly to the stereo (headphone out to RCA in), but by not having the iPod in hand was a great loss, I felt. The transmitter does not transmit the iPod's volume control signal, so you must have remote volume control on your stereo's remote if that feature is needed.
Rating  - Sony Wireless X-mitter.
The wireless transmitter works great with my iPod and Jabra headphones. The transmitter uses a lot of power from the iPod battery. Overall it is a good product
Rating - Best A2DP solution for iPhone - other than having it built-in
I've been using this adapter for less than a week now, but I have to say that this is by far the best stereo bluetooth solution I've used with my iPhone (come on, Apple - what's the holdup with native A2DP?). I've tried out numerous other adapters, and have been underwhelmed with most of them. Previous offerings have been so poor that I've returned a large number of them after less than a day of use.
Before I bought the Sony, I had been using TEN technology's naviPlay adapter (no longer manufactured). Although good compared to many of the others I've used, its sheer bulk and the need to constantly charge it (with it sometimes "forgetting" that it had been charged) made it a far-from-perfect solution.
Sony's offering, on the other hand, is about as close to perfect as you can get. It's small, fits in the iPhone's docking port securely (my naviPlay didn't always keep a good connection), and uses the iPhone's battery for power. Of course, using the iPhone's battery raises concerns about having to charge the phone more. So far, I've been able to use my 1st generation iPhone and the adapter all day, without having to recharge. It was ridiculously easy to pair with my Motorola S9, and the range is actually better than the self-powered naviPlay. As is the case with other solutions, there is some occasional dropout when outdoors. This is more a limitation of A2DP, and not the device itself. Its black color makes it very unobtrusive, and its small profile makes it easy to use with a number of different case solutions (something I could not achieve with the naviPlay).
All in all, until Apple finally decides to enable A2DP natively, this is the best stereo bluetooth solution out there for the iPhone.
