HomeSpot JM320, Auracast TV Headphones, Bluetooth 5.3, with BA210 v2 Transmitter for AV Home Theater Projector, TV & Mobile Seamless Switching, LE Audio Low Latency, Gifts for Senior (Basic Pack)

Since Bluetooth SIG released their standards for Auracast (in 2020), I have been looking forward to upgrading the assistive listening system for our small church auditorium. Few devices have been released to market as of 2024. This one showed some potential and I decided to give it a try. The transmitter provides a good range. They claim 300 ft (~100 m) for a broadcast range. This assumes little interference and no obstructions. I was able to pick up the broadcast up to approximately 200 ft (~65 m) from the transmitter, through one interior wall (gypboard) and one exterior wall (stucco). Our intended range is within the building and only half this distance. However, the broadcaster is still a work in progress. Settings cannot be changed through the app. Instead, the factory programmed broadcast name and password must be used. This limitation will make it more difficult to get users connected with their personal devices. Tech support has also stated that connection to hearing aids is not yet supported (but is being worked on). For our purposes, input audio is provided from a headphone output from the sound system. Input level using the RCA or headphone cable is expected to be at a headphone level output. A line level output from an RCA or line out jack would be at a very low volume. (I have not tested the fiber optic audio connection.) The transmitter can also be used as an audio output device when connected via USB-C directly to a computer. I was able to use it this way and found it worked well. For our use, however, the latency (through video streaming software) would not work well for live presentations. The headsets, on the other hand, work very well. I was impressed with the frequency range. For their size (and cost), the headphones offer good bass sound. With volume set correctly at the input source, the headphones were able to provide very good volume levels, even for most hearing-impaired individuals. We have purchased two sets (so that we have a total of four headphones). Connection of the second set of headphones to the broadcaster from the first set was seamless and was completed very quickly. I was initially very concerned about tech support. Their website includes a forum that does not appear to be visited by tech support. Also, links provided for an online user's manual are not current. However, they do respond to the email address listed on their website. Update - April 2025: I’ve been using this system for nearly a year now in a church auditorium setting. We received the version 2 updated transmitter, and members with appropriate hearing aids have been happy with the sound quality. The headphones are still a great success. Overall, these work much better than our previous system, require less maintenance (or batteries), and offer much better sound quality—all in a less expensive package that the old system. My one remaining disappointment: You cannot rename the broadcast. Instead, it is factory set with random numbers. This can make it difficult to identify the correct channel if you use more than one (e.g. translation or neighboring rooms). UPDATED 9/4/2025: The company now offers version 2 of their transmitter, which can be configured through a website through their support page. The configurations allow you to change between standard quality (SQ) and high quality (HQ) audio modes. HQ mode defaults to encrypted, and the encryption can be turned off for public broadcasts. The same configuration page allows the broadcasts to have custom names, instead of using the default random number identifier. These updates are a game changer in allow for use of the product in the public broadcast settings. Users can easily find the stream--and distinguish between multiple streams where separate channels may be useful. They've also begun offering more headphone types and are compatible with several brands of hearing aids. We've been using this system for over a year now and have been thrilled with the improvement over prior technology. It is less expensive, provides better quality audio, and has a better range, than the typical assisted hearing systems.

Owning Jabra Hearing Aids I was looking into Auracast transmitters to connect to TV and Stereo systems. So I jumped the water and bought this bundle with headphones and a MoerDuo as a used device to compare. 1. Setup. The Homespot bundle was easy to setup. It connected immediately to each other and my Pixel 8a. The MoerDuo was a different game. Not only is the MoerLab app crapp, the device needed several attempts to get it connected (important: it only works when device is in RX mode) it is also way more difficult to handle with 2 tap here and 3 taps there. Winner: Homespot 2. Auracast connection. The homespot app QKAudio Connect is easy to understand and shows different Auracast broadcast to choose from. To my surprise (or not!) the connection with Jabra Hearing aids didn't work. After I contacted Homespot support I got immediately answered that a new version (V2) exist which will work with Jabra and they will forward one to me. It arrived from Hongkong after 2 days and connected without problems. The MoerDuo did not connect to Jabra as well, not solution, but did connect to the Homespot Headphones. Winner: Homespot 3. Auracast sound quality. The Homespot broadcast is flawless and worked for me in the house in all rooms. The MoerDuo sound quality was disappointing. It as flat and disrupted with crackings in between even when next to the transmitter. Winner: Homespot 4. Options. The MoerDuo comes with a mic to install in the 3.5mm port and it work fine as a companion mic. The MoerDuo also works as a receiver which I haven't tested. There are no options for the Homespot. Winner: MoerDuo 5. Battery live. Both devices surpassed 10 hours which was my goal. Winner: par 6. Support. Both companies answered support emails within one day. Homespot sent a new device within 3 days. Winner: Homespot So my verdict is clear to buy the Homespot if you want to invest as an early adopter into Auracast. The bundle with Headphones comes priced the same as a MoerDuo is offered and at the moment it works much better in Auracast mode.

This JM320 (BA210 v2) wireless earphone set is comfortable to wear, has good audio quality, and pairs easily with the transmitter module. I'm using it via the USB port on my laptop. Instructions are a bit sketchy as to operating mode and use of the multi-function button (MFB yellow light (private broadcast) vs. blue light (open broadcast)) but earphones seem to pair with either. This item was primarily purchased to experiment and try Auracast and Bluetooth LE developed with the hearing aid industry. All the specs indicate that it it fully compliant with the LC-3 codec...but would not work with my Auracast hearing aids using the QK Assistant 4+ app on my iPhone.

Great sound quality. Easy set up. No lag. Comfortable and seems to be pretty durable. They're a little loose fitting but that's kind of nice if you get the in the proper position. They arrived on 90% charge and have held a good charge so far and we haven't had to charge them yet after about a week of use in the evenings. We got these to drown out the noise from the bar that we live above so we can watch TV or listen to a podcast at night and it does the trick perfectly.

The manufacturer sent me the Broadcaster V2, which worked perfectly. All connections — 3.5 mm TRS, digital SPDIF, and USB-C digital/audio — functioned without any noise. Both Bluetooth and Auracast worked effectively. The broadcaster integrated seamlessly with my hearing aids (Jabra Enhance Pro 30). The headphones are very easy to use, and the sound quality is excellent. Customer service was of a high standard.

Works great to send audio to the two headphones! I am using it to connect to a tv on my patio so that me and my partner can watch tv outside without bothering the neighbours. Sound is in Sync for both of us! Customer service has also been great! Was trying to also connect it to some JBL speakers, and they tried to help. Unfortunately JBL has not properly implemented their auracast, so it won’t work, but that is on JBL not this device.

Les écouteurs se connectent automatiquement à leur appareil. Je les ai branchés avec succès à la télévision via un câble Toslink et au projecteur avec un câble audio. J’espère pouvoir les utiliser pendant très longtemps. J’ai également apprécié l’attention du vendeur, qui a répondu à toutes mes questions. Merci !

Great sound. Easiest set up I have ever had. Light weight with rechargeable batteries.

The setup of these headphones is a bit complicated but once they are setup they work like a charm. I think they are a good purchase..
