FAQs

What is the Sennheiser BT T100 used for?

The BT T100 is a Bluetooth audio transmitter designed to wirelessly send audio from your home entertainment system (such as a TV or stereo receiver) to your Bluetooth headphones, allowing you to listen without cables and without disturbing others.

Does the BT T100 work with any Bluetooth headphones?

Yes, it is compatible with all Bluetooth-enabled headphones. However, to fully benefit from the lowest audio latency (for perfect sync with video), your headphones should also support Qualcomm aptX Low Latency.

How do I get the best audio sync for TV watching?

For the best audio-visual synchronization, ensure that both the BT T100 and your Bluetooth headphones support the Qualcomm aptX Low Latency codec. This technology is specifically designed to minimize audio delay and prevent lip-sync issues.

What audio input options does the BT T100 have?

The BT T100 provides versatile audio input options, including both a 3.5 mm analog jack input and an optical digital input. Conveniently, both of the necessary connecting cables are included in the box.

How do I power the Sennheiser BT T100?

The BT T100 is powered via a standard USB connection. It comes with a 1.2m USB-A to USB micro-B cable, which you can connect to a USB port on your TV, a USB wall adapter, or any other compatible USB power source.

Can I connect multiple pairs of headphones to the BT T100?

The Sennheiser BT T100 is designed to facilitate a single Bluetooth headphone connection at a time. This ensures optimal performance, especially when utilizing features like aptX Low Latency, and maintains high audio quality.

What is the typical Bluetooth range of the BT T100?

As a Bluetooth Class 1 device, the BT T100 typically offers a robust wireless range of up to 10 meters (approximately 33 feet) or more in open spaces. Actual range can vary depending on environmental factors and physical obstacles.

Troubleshooting

No audio or poor sound quality.
  1. Ensure the BT T100 is correctly connected to a power source and powered on (LED should be lit). 2. Verify that the correct audio input (optical or 3.5 mm) is selected on the BT T100 using its input switch. 3. Check the audio output settings on your source device (TV, stereo) to ensure audio is being sent to the selected output. 4. Confirm your headphones are successfully paired and connected to the BT T100. 5. Adjust volume levels on both the audio source and your headphones.
Audio is out of sync with video (lagging).

The BT T100 supports Qualcomm aptX Low Latency. For optimal lip-sync, ensure your Bluetooth headphones also support aptX Low Latency. If your headphones do not, some latency may be unavoidable, though the BT T100 still works to minimize it compared to standard Bluetooth connections.

Cannot pair headphones with the BT T100.
  1. Ensure your headphones are in pairing mode (refer to their manual). 2. Press the dedicated pairing button on the BT T100. 3. Make sure the headphones are not already connected to another device. 4. Move the headphones closer to the BT T100 during the pairing process. 5. Try restarting both the BT T100 and your headphones.
Connection drops frequently or range is poor.
  1. Ensure there are no major physical obstructions (e.g., thick walls, large metal objects) between the BT T100 and your headphones. 2. Move other wireless devices (e.g., Wi-Fi routers, cordless phones) further away to minimize potential interference. 3. Check the battery levels on your Bluetooth headphones. 4. While the BT T100 is Bluetooth Class 1, offering good range, environmental factors can still impact performance.
LED indicator is not lighting up.
  1. Verify the USB power cable is securely connected to both the BT T100 and a working USB power source. 2. Try a different USB port or power adapter to rule out a faulty power source. 3. Ensure the power source itself is active and supplying power.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhanced Freedom: Enjoy audio from your home system anywhere within range without the limitations of cables.
  • High-Fidelity Sound: Delivers clear, premium sound quality directly to your Bluetooth headphones.
  • Perfect Lip-Sync: aptX Low Latency technology effectively eliminates audio delays, ensuring synchronization with video.
  • Versatile Input Options: Connects to a broad range of devices using either 3.5mm or optical connections.
  • User-Friendly: Features simple one-button pairing and clear LED indicators for ease of use.

Cons

  • External Power Requirement: Requires a USB power source, potentially adding an extra cable to manage in your setup.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Connect to Power: Utilize the provided 1.2m USB-A to USB micro-B cable to connect the BT T100 to a reliable USB power source (e.g., a USB port on your TV, a dedicated USB wall adapter, or a computer). The device will power on automatically upon connection.
  2. Connect to Audio Source:
  • Optical Input: If your audio source (such as a TV or stereo receiver) features an optical digital audio output, use the included optical cable to connect it to the BT T100's optical input.
  • 3.5 mm Input: If your audio source has a 3.5 mm headphone jack or an auxiliary output, connect the included 3.5 mm jack cable from your source to the BT T100's 3.5 mm input.
  1. Select Input: Locate the input switch on the BT T100 and select either `Optical` or `3.5 mm` to match your chosen audio connection.
  2. Pair Headphones:
  • Place your Bluetooth headphones into pairing mode (consult your headphone's user manual for specific instructions).
  • Press the dedicated Bluetooth-Pairing-Taste (pairing button) located on the BT T100. The device's LED will begin to flash, indicating it's in pairing mode.
  • Once a connection is established, the two-color LED will change to a steady color, confirming successful pairing.
  1. Adjust Volume: Verify that the volume levels on both your audio source and your Bluetooth headphones are set appropriately.

Compatibility

  • Audio Sources: The BT T100 is compatible with any audio device that features a 3.5 mm analog audio output or an optical digital audio output. This includes common devices such as TVs, stereo receivers, CD/DVD/Blu-ray players, and computers.
  • Headphones: It operates seamlessly with any Bluetooth-enabled headphones. For optimal performance, especially regarding lip-sync accuracy, it is highly recommended to use headphones that also support Qualcomm aptX Low Latency.

Care

  • Cleaning: To clean the device, gently wipe its surfaces with a soft, dry cloth or a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh or abrasive cleaning agents and solvents, as these can damage the finish.
  • Storage: When not in active use, store the BT T100 in a cool, dry environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to preserve its longevity.
  • Liquid Avoidance: Keep the BT T100 away from water and other liquids to prevent internal damage or malfunction.
