HomeSpot Bluetooth Audio Adapter with USB-C, Built-in mic, for Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, PC, Supports Headphones mic, aptX Low Latency, Dual Headphones, in-Game Voice Chat Monster Hunter Theme

EDIT: The company reached out to me about the issue of dual aptX audio. They have given me a workaround for those who have currently brought the Homespot on this date or earlier: March 19, 2019. Ever since the company has given me this workaround, they have told me that they will soon have it fixed so this step won't ever be necessary. Those who are on the same boat as I am, here are the steps to have the dual aptX audio working:1) Paired both headphones (P1 to headphones A, P2 to headphones B) and have dual stream going2) Force headphones A into pairing mode3) Press P1 to reconnect to headphones A4) Both P1 and P2 should be in dual streaming againIf above doesn't solve the dual aptX issue, continue to step 5.5) Force headphones B into pairing mode6) Press P2 to reconnect to headphones B7) Both P1 and P2 should be in dual streaming againI'm going to start off saying that I own both the notorious Genki from the Kickstarter/Indiegogo project and this Homespot bluetooth adapter. I spent a couple weeks using them both equally and I'm going to post an honest review. I have made a longer post on the r/Nintendo page on Reddit if you are interested. However, since you are on this Amazon page looking at reviews, I'll try my best to keep it short and simple. Pictures included.Pros:*Slim form factor. I can plug this adapter in and slip it to a case, in fact, it works well with the Satisfye grip. I can set it down knowing the adapter won't break off at the USB-C connection, unlike Genki that sticks out like a sore thumb.*Works the same as the Genki. Really. It really does. I use a Sony WH-1000XM3 as my main driver, and I have the Sennheiser PXC550. Both of these (if paired and sync'd by itself) work well with the aptX codec. I don't have any bluetooth devices that uses the aptX-LL codec, so I can't vouch for that.*The price. You get the USB-C female to USB-A male adapter, a mic, a small and nifty travel bag, and an extended warranty card. For this price, it's hard to beat compared to Genki (adapter only is $49.99, ouch. want the accessories? Fork over $20.). I don't own the Gulikit nor even looked that way, so I don't know much about it.Cons:*Not part of a con, but kind of glad it's the way it is: inserting the adapter is easy. Removing it out of a USB-C port is like trying to separate something that got glued together. Not saying it's bad, but I have a feeling I might rip out the port with the adapter one day.*The adapter when connected is wobbly. The Genki I can understand why it's the way it is, but this adapter is made to sit flush with the Switch, yet, the adapter has some play. Rather odd.*Not case friendly. Even the thinnest case like Skull&C.O. wouldn't allow such clearance.*This is suffered also by the Genki, but as I stated in the Pro section, when you connect two bluetooth devices that both support the aptX codec, it seems that the adapter cannot handle outputting the audio to both devices. My 1000XM3 would work somewhat fine with occasional choppy audio, but the PXC550 would crash and burn, static, choppy audio, and serious lag.Bottom line, this is just a Genki without the power passthrough, slim form factor, and comes with the essentials besides the stand, which in all honesty, if you picked up a Hori Nintendo Switch stand, you're fine.

The Home spot transmitter works as intended as a Nintendo Switch Bluetooth audio transmitter with no noticable delay and almost flawless audio quality with ATPX LL SUPPORTED DEVICES.The device I use with the HomeSpot is the Fiio BTR3 Bluetooth receiver which support atpx ll and can be connected to any audio device with a aux jack.To test the dual streaming feature of the HomeSpot, I used the previously mentioned Fiio BTR3 and then a Trond BT-DUO which also supports atpx ll and have them plugged to my V-moda m100 headphone to each earcups, the result is that both receivers were noticably in sync of each other and the Fiio BTR3 indicated that it was streaming in atpx ll. This test shows that the HomeSpot can truly stream dual low latency audio to both devices but with slightly more pops and crackles in the audio.The package comes with a small felt patted pouch, headphone jack mic for games that supports in-game chat, a nice metal usbc to usba adapter for the Dock and the HomeSpot itself.The HomeSpot device is well built with no visible screws and gaps in the plastic construction and in my opinion the best design in the market. I also like the device can be reversed to hide the led, the only feature that this doesn't have is pass through charging which I think is a necessary sacrifice for it's slim build.My unit does have a defect were the left button is not as clicky as the right and can sometimes get stuck in the pressed position but it doesn't bother me much.So far the HomeSpot is a solid device for audio streaming for the Nintendo switch if you want a compact design.

I like the relative thinness of this device. I've seen some that are big and hang way down, creating a risk of snapping and putting excessive pressure on the USB-C port. This device sits nice an flush against the bottom of the Switch. It has a slightly rounded lip that hugs the edge of the Switch. It's so thin that I don't even have to remove it when I put the Switch in its carrying case!It's reversible, which is nice if you find the lights on the front distracting. The lights are a simple and clear way to indicate how many headphones are connected and what codec is used. I tested this device with three different wireless headphones, and it worked with all of them. It was able to stream audio to two headphones simultaneously using the AptX codec for both. It has great signal range. It doesn't need a battery or to be recharged; it draws power from the Switch. Because of Bluetooth 5.0 it's low power and doesn't noticeably drain the Switch's battery.I see in the other reviews that older versions of this device include a separate accessory microphone that plugs into the 3.5mm jack. This new version has the mic built-in, so there's one less thing to worry about storing or losing. The mic toggles on and off with a press of a button, with a visual indicator. I tested it in Fortnite and it sounds fantastic: loud and clear.The little pouch it came with is a nice touch. It comes with a small USB-A to USB-C adapter that allows it to be connected to the Switch's dock. I tested, and it works, but keep in mind that the mic is in the device, so unless the dock is right in front of you, you'll need to speak up. I do wish that the adapter had a 90 degree turn, so that the Homespot could be completely out of the way of whatever might be plugged into the dock's second USB port on the side. Also, as thin as the device is, I would like it to be even thinner; perhaps the buttons and lights could go on the bottom rather than in the front to make this happen. Audio sounds great with low latency.
