Best Bluetooth Transmitters in the UK

There's quite a lot to like about this Bluetooth transmitter and receiver. First, there's the ridiculous range of the device that, with the help of an external antenna, transmits and receives the signal up to 164 feet (50 metres) in an open-air line-of-sight kind of scenario and up to 70 feet (21 metres) indoors.

Then, there's the Bypass function that allows the user to turn the Bluetooth ON and OFF using a simple switch. Thanks to this function, you won't have to manually plug and unplug the device itself.

We would also be remiss not to mention the full-work voice prompts, as well as the status/codec LED markers, both of which are there to simplify the already straightforward operation of this Bluetooth gizmo. Furthermore, you can use the model in question to stream stereo sound to a couple of earphones simultaneously, the device providing you with a nice little opportunity to share the audio with the person next to you.

The Mpow Bluetooth 5.0 transmitter is, as the name suggests, a Bluetooth 5.0-capable device. Not only that, it is also capable of low-latency data transmission and much more than simply delivering audio.

Similarly to other products in the same category, this transmitter model from Mpow features a handy button that toggles Bluetooth operation on and off that will be convenient to use in case you need to turn off the power quickly and don’t want to do it on both devices connected to it. Likewise, it has a transmit-receive toggle key that is located on the top side of the housing that enables quick switching between the transmitting and receiving modes.

As a neat little addition to an already great set of features, the kit comes equipped with a 3.5mm cable and a 3.5mm adapter that will be useful in case you need to connect an analogue device to your household Internet of Things or device network. Although it is quite easy to connect the wireless devices directly to the transmitter without actually linking both appliances, it is highly recommended to pair both units beforehand. The reason for this is simple, the AptX low-latency technology only starts working once the transmitter and the receiving device are paired between each other.

On the bright side, however, you can connect two devices to the transmitter at the same time. Thanks to this, it is possible to use two sets of headphones, headsets, or other audio devices that feature Bluetooth capabilities.

The TT-BA07 is a compact Bluetooth transmitter that can also act as a receiver and that makes it quite versatile, especially if you need to pair two of your digital devices but don’t want to use cables. The model has a handy switch on the side of the housing that you can use to set the adapter into transmitter or receiver modes.

When set to the transmitter mode, the adapter will stream any audio that goes through it via Bluetooth, while the receiver mode will make it easier to connect the devices that don’t feature over-the-air connection. Saying that the receiver mode will be convenient for those who have older home stereos or car audio systems will be an understatement.

As for the specifications of the device, it supports the 4.1 version of the Bluetooth protocol. On top of that, in case you don’t own a device that features 4.1 - don’t be discouraged, the transmitter is backwards-compatible with previous versions of the protocol down to the 3.0 and 2.0 versions. Be aware though that the model is not compatible with devices that only feature the 5.0 Bluetooth protocol.

The customers that are really into music will definitely be glad to know that this product features full aptX support. Moreover, the tech has an extremely low latency of just 30-40 ms, depending on the buffering of the media that is played. Such ping offers an exceptional level of sound fidelity along with synchronisation.

The FirstE Tx80 is yet another wireless transmitter that can bring all of your old analogue appliances back to life. What makes it special, though, is that it can do so with little to no adjustment since it can work right out of the box.

First things first, the transmitter relies on a 3.5mm AUX port that is located on the side of the housing, however, it also supports older audio formats, thanks to the addition of the 3.5mm to RCA converter. For your convenience, the kit comes equipped with both AUX and RCA cables so you won’t have to worry about compatibility. It is important to point out that this model, unlike others included on our list, is a transmitter-only model, so you won’t be able to, for example, stream music back to your analogue TV from a mobile gadget.

Moving on, the pairing mode of this particular transmitter is similar to the many other Bluetooth-capable devices. In order to link the required device to the Bluetooth appliance, you will have to turn the pairing mode on by pressing and holding the round button on the top side of the transmitter and have Bluetooth activated beforehand. Once that is done, you will be able to pair a set of headphones, a laptop, or even a computer if it has a Bluetooth module.

The ZIDOO LINWO is a compact Bluetooth transmitter combo model that can work with devices that support Bluetooth 5.0, as well as the older versions of the protocol, all thanks to its backwards compatibility. Nevertheless, Bluetooth support is not the only thing that makes this type of device something you could use on a daily basis, so let’s find out which features do.

To start off, the transmitter works both ways and can be used as a transmitter and a receiver, which makes it one of the most affordable transceivers on the market today. Coupled with the excellent quality of the streamed audio and little to no lag that is produced in the process, you are getting a device that can handle quite a lot of audio data even if it's in high quality.

The thing this transceiver really excels at, though, is when it’s being used as a transmitter for older devices that still utilise an analogue connection. Once connected via the 3.5mm AUX port, the appliance will be able to transmit audio from a DVD player, TV set, laptop or older computer system directly to your audio device of choice, be it a phone, tablet, a Bluetooth speaker, wireless earbuds or headphones. Just like the wireless devices, the transmitter itself has a built-in battery that provides you with up to 8-10 hours of runtime. On top of that, the transmitter won’t interfere with other wireless devices in the room and is capable of pairing with mobile gadgets, which will eliminate the risks involved with connection conflicts.
