PC Magazine reviews the Sony TMR-BT10 Portable Stereo Transmitter which “will turn an Apple iPod or any music player with a headphone jack into a wireless device that can transmit to Bluetooth-enabled headphones and speakers” ‘The TMR-BT10 is lightweight and fits in your pocket easily. It uses the headphone jack on your MP3 player or computer and sends sound to any Bluetooth-receiving device it's paired with. Pairing takes less than 10 seconds—just hold down the power button while the product you wish to pair the transmitter with (say, a Bluetooth headset) is nearby. Within moments, music from your MP3 player or computer can be heard wirelessly through your Bluetooth speakers or headphones.

The problem with stereo Bluetooth transmission for music in the past has been a simple one: It worked abysmally. Combining terrible sound quality with drop-out issues, Bluetooth gave consumers little reason to rock out wirelessly. Sony rep Andrew Bubala told me at CES, however, that the company aims to change the perception of Bluetooth as a useless medium for musical audio.’
