TUNAI Wand aptX Low Latency Long Range Bluetooth Transmitter

Bringing Bluetooth to old tech

Tunai Wand testing

This isn’t going to be testing in the traditional sense for an audio review. Generally, there are a few games we’d test, specific movies and songs. However, being a Bluetooth Transmitter, none of that matters. What matters in the case of the Tunai Wand is the actual connection, as well as the latency. So, we connected the Tunai Wand to a few older devices, all of which lacked Bluetooth as a feature.

The first of the devices was an old Denon 5.1 surround sound receiver, the Denon AVRT-E300. This receiver was set up to an old Samsung 7500 series smart tv. We hooked up the Tunai Wand through the optical S/PDIF port on the receiver. Using the Tunai Wand, we hooked up both my Bose QuietComfort 35 headphones, as well as my wife’s JBL Live 650 BT headphones to our receiver. We watched several hours of TV, plus a few movies. The Qualcomm aptX low latency allowed for near-perfect audio sync. We also hooked the Tunai Wand up to the TV in our bedroom. Which is where it now lives.

Next, I plugged the Tunai Wand into my testbench via the 3.5mm auxiliary port. This was by far my personal favorite use case for the Tunai Wand. The Qualcomm aptX low latency worked flawlessly. I’d say a good 90% of the content I take in is through my computers via YouTube. While I’m working, I have headphones on, watching or at least listening to YouTube videos. While watching videos or gaming, the audio sync was excellent through the Tunai Wand.
