Avantree Lock Wireless Plug & Play Speaker Kit

Audio quality

The Avantree Lock Bluetooth receiver and transmitter combo do nothing other than transmitting and receive audio signals via Bluetooth. There’s no built-in amp that drives any speakers or headphones. The Bluetooth is about 33 feet before it starts breaking up.

Also, you don’t have to use the transmitter and receiver together at once, you apply each of them to different devices. Aside from using the Avantree lock to turn your speakers to wireless, you can also use it to increase the range of your Bluetooth.

Simply connect the transmitter to the receiver through the 3.5mm ports. With your audio source connected to the receiver, the transmitter will connect to your speakers.

This wireless kit does not have adaptive frequency hopping, but interference shouldn’t be a frequent problem since it’s Bluetooth connection only.

Additionally, Bluetooth has a low latency function that enables it to play back your audio without any obvious delay. This means you can enjoy your movies and play action games without any audio syncing issues.

Notable features

The wired input and output options are 3.5mm ports only. For RCA speaker and amp units, a 3.5mm RCA adapter has been added to the box.

Also, there are no controls as such, aside from the power buttons on the transmitter and receiver.

These wireless audio adapters are already portable, but they are easier to use because of the built-in battery. When fully charged, they can run for up to 6 hours. To charge them fully will take about 2.5 hours.

Pros

• Portable design
• Low latency streaming of movies and game sounds.
• The battery option makes it easier to use.

Cons

• Needs an amp or powered speakers to work.

Bottomline: If you have an amp, powered speaker, or low impedance headphones, you should consider the Avantree Lock for your setup.

Amphony 1800 Wireless Speaker Kit – Excellent Surround Sound

Audio quality

The Amphony 1800 is a transmitter-receiver unit that allows you to turn wired speakers into wireless. One of the best uses of this unit is for surround sound. It allows you to include rear speakers to complete your 5.1 setups without having cables clutter or breaking walls to hide the cables.

Speaking of surround sound, anything sent from your AV receiver or other audio source is delivered with accuracy, the connection does not compress the audio. So you can be sure to have the same audio quality from the rear speakers and others.

The Amphony 1800 is also useful for passive speakers. Each of the two receivers gives up to 80W of power. That’s enough to drive your living room speakers to high volumes.

Also, it has the adaptive frequency hopping feature. This enables it to avoid interference from other frequencies.

The wireless connection can travel up to 300 feet in an open space. With walls in-between, it only goes 100 feet. That’s far more than you’ll get with the Avantree Lock. Also, you can use the Amphony 1800 to transmit audio from one room to the receivers in other rooms in the house.

Notable features

This unit comes in 3 parts – one transmitter and two receivers. The transmitter goes in the AV receiver, computer, phone, or another audio source, while each receiver is connected to a speaker.

Pros

• Long wireless range.

Audio quality

The Rocketfish conversion kit is quite useful when connecting rear speakers in your surround sound system. Its sound quality is enough to transmit whatever is coming from your AV receiver or player directly to these speakers.

The RF-WRSK18 uses radio frequency to connect wirelessly from the receiver to the transmitter. To avoid interference, you’ll have to move the receiver around manually. The kit does not have adaptive frequency hopping like the Amphony 1800.

The wireless connection range is a maximum of 100 feet. In reality, you should expect a strong connection for about 50 feet.

Notable features

Audio quality

The BIC audio receiver and transmitter give you quality sound production. If you’re using it in the same room as the audio source, there is very low latency. Your audio and video will sync without any audio delays.

With this wireless speaker conversion kit, you must have an amp. The receiver and transmitter by themselves cannot drive your speakers. So, if your speakers are not powered, or you want more volume from them, you should buy an amp to use with the conversion kit.

When connected you can have up to 80 feet in an open space and 60 feet where there’s some obstruction.

Unlike the Amphony 1800, there’s no adaptive frequency hopping in this unit, but it comes with 4 wireless channels. So you can easily switch in case you have interference on one or two channels.

Notable features

This unit comes with a transmitter and a receiver. The wireless connection can serve as both input and output. It also has RCA input and output. This makes it compatible with most bookshelf speakers without any need for an adapter.

However, if you need an adapter, you already have them added to the box. The package comes with adapters for AV receivers PC, Mac, and your TV.

• Multiple channels to avoid interference.

Cons

Esinkin Wireless Audio Receiver Kit

Audio quality

The Esinkin wireless audio receiver kit does not tamper with your audio, as long as you’re within range. You can use it to make your home speaker, subwoofer or car speaker wireless.

Even though it’s a portable unit, it can be vulnerable to interference where you have a lot of wireless connections going on.

If this will be an issue for you, then go for the Amphony 1800 that has adaptive frequency hopping. You can also consider the BIC America receiver – it has 4 different channels that you can choose from.

The wireless connection uses Bluetooth 4.0 and streams audio over a distance of up to 35 feet in open space. When the space is divided by walls, you have less distance. However, you will enjoy a strong and clear audio connection in your living room, bedroom or car, if you have your audio source in the same space.

Notable features

This kit has just the receiver. There’s no transmitter included. So, it can only receive wireless audio signals. It can’t send. For sending, you must use the RCA wired output.

Speaking of outputs, the only ports included are RCA type. If your amp or speaker uses 3.5mm, a suitable adapter is added to the package. So, your bookshelf speakers, desktop speakers, and even some floorstanding and tower speakers are covered.

Like the BIC receiver, the Esinkin cannot drive passive speakers. You need an external amp for that, especially if you don’t have powered speakers.

On the alternative, you could go for the Amphony 1800 kit. It has enough power for your bookshelf speakers.

Pros

• Compact and portable design
• Simple and easy setup

Cons

• No built-in amp
• Vulnerable to interference

Bottomline: If you don’t have a lot of wireless connections in your home or car, the Esinkin conversion kit will be a good choice to make your system wireless.

Some other conversion kits on this list also transmit the original audio, but you may notice some slight differences if you’re using high-end playback speakers. 1Mii takes audio clarity a step further and gives you audiophile-grade signal reception and transmission.

As a receiver, it only works with powered speakers. To use it with passive speakers or subwoofers, you need to connect through an amp.

If your source audio device has these codecs, you will get audio without any lag. This conversion kit is suitable for online action gaming because of its low latency.

The 1Mii gives you up to 265 feet in an open space and 110 feet when it has to go through walls. That’s the longest range from any kit on this list.

Audio quality

The Dynasty Proaudio conversion kit is another two-piece unit. The transmitter and receiver are separate pieces. The WSA-5TR uses radio frequency as its wireless connection, not Bluetooth.

To prevent interference, this kit uses adaptive frequency hopping. It automatically searches for frequencies that are free of interference to use. This means that even when you have other wireless connections and devices, you shouldn’t have any problem with this one.

Without any solid obstruction, the wireless connection can reach up to 100 feet – if your receiving or transmitting device is top quality.

Notable features

Because it works as both receiver and transmitter, the wireless connection can be either input or output. The WSA-5TR also has RCA ports as wired input and output connections. Also, it has no built-in amp, so you’ll need powered speakers or an external amp to work with the kit.
