What is the difference between a Bluetooth adapter and a Bluetooth receiver?
A Bluetooth adapter adds Bluetooth functionality to non-Bluetooth devices, allowing them to both send (transmit) and receive audio signals wirelessly, whereas a Bluetooth receiver is designed to only receive and play auido signals wirelessly.
What is Bluetooth?
Bluetooth is a wireless technology that allows connected devices to communicate with each other over short distances. Modern devices like smartphones, headphones, speakers, keyboards, mice, and even cars, all use Bluetooth technology.
Will a Bluetooth adapter reduce sound quality?
The impact of a Bluetooth adapter on sound quality depends on the codecs it uses and its data transfer rates. Adapters with Bluetooth 5.0 or 5.3 technology generally offer better sound, connectivity, range, and lower latency than those with Bluetooth 4.0. So, while a lower version adapter might affect sound quality, a higher version one can actually enhance it.
I recently bought a USB Bluetooth receiver for my smart TV. The receiver (or transmitter? might be the better word)
Essentially, it plugs into my TVs USB port and then an AUX cord connects from the device, to the TV.
As of now, I'm not getting the headphones connected. But if so, I'm curious if this will take all of the audio for the device.
It's fine if the sound doesn't come from my sound bar, but my whole reasoning behind this purchase is that my Smart TV already has Bluetooth, but only one set of headphones can be connected. Me and my lady would love to be able to connect 2 sets, so we can watch horror movies with total immersion.
Any ideas or recommendations would be great!
