If you want a transmitter with some serious range, the latest Bluetooth version, good connectivity options, long battery life and more, then you must be ready to shell out a few more bucks.

This is just the range of the products we selected, which are of good quality. You may decide to go for costlier models with more features, and that will be fine. However, be sure not to go for cheap Bluetooth transmitters in a bid to find affordable products. The cheap products may disappoint you from the very first day.

In this section, we will be looking at a few major points you need to consider to help you choose the Bluetooth transmitter that is best for your needs. If you can successfully look at these factors and articulate how each of them relates to your needs, you will be able to determine what is important to you and what is not. Some of the issues to consider include:

• Bluetooth Version
• Compatibility
• Connectivity
• Range
• Build
• Size
• Battery Life
• Ease of Use

Let’s now try to expound on these.

How important is the Bluetooth version of the Bluetooth transmitter you choose? This is a question many are bound to ask, especially since the new versions likely cost a bit more. We will provide you with a major difference between the major Bluetooth versions so you can decide for yourself how important each is.

• The highest spec of version 1 (v1.2) has a data transfer speed of 720 Kbps.
• Version 2 has a data transfer speed of 2.1 Mbps.
• Version 3 has a data transfer speed of 24 Mbps.
• Version 4 has a transfer speed of 24 Mbps.

The one difference listed above should give you an idea of how important it is to have the latest version whenever possible. Among other things, transfers will be quicker and smoother.

Whenever we talk about Bluetooth, we must as a rule look at compatibility issues. You must confirm that the Bluetooth transmitter you are considering will perform the task you want perfectly. This includes pairing easily and also maximizing the features offered by the transmitter. This will necessarily mean that you must know exactly how you want to use the Bluetooth transmitter before getting it, so you will be sure it can handle the task.

Let’s take an example – you want to connect the transmitter to the audio output of your television so you can watch your movie late at night without disturbing anyone, so you must be sure that you can connect the transmitter easily to the television’s appropriate audio output. You may want to use your equipment’s headphone output, which uses a 3.5mm jack. Your Bluetooth transmitter must have this connection so it can connect to the device. So, you are either connecting via Bluetooth or connecting via cable and transmitting to your Bluetooth headphone via Bluetooth. It’s just a question of understanding your connections before even getting the device, so you are sure it has the necessary connection options.

What’s the range of the transmitter? This is a good questions to answer. Depending on how and where you want to use it, you should confirm that the transmission range is appropriate. If it’s not, you will end up dissatisfied, as you will not get the full service you want.

A Bluetooth transmitter can be a very important device in lots of situations. It is, therefore, something you will likely want to carry around with you. This said, you will likely prefer a compact and solidly built transmitter that you can take with you in your pocket or bag without adding unnecessary weight. If it’s bulky and heavy, you won’t be able to take it around with you easily. So you need something that is small. That is, solid but compactly built.

Power is a major thing for these Bluetooth transmitters. The battery life is critical to its operations and how it serves you. Know how long the battery lasts and how easy it is to charge. Does it require a regular wall charger or a regular USB cable? Can you charge it while using it or does it stop working when it is being charged? These are all questions you should get answers to before deciding on any device.

Finally, you don’t need something that is difficult to configure. The term ‘difficult’ may be relative, depending on how technical you are. That said, decide for yourself how easy it is to use the device. We don’t recommend any device that you consider difficult to use. If the learning curve is too steep for you, consider another model.
