August Bluetooth 5.0 Transmitter Receiver MR280

The August MR280 is a compact Bluetooth 5.0 transmitter and receiver that lets you wirelessly send and receive stereo audio from TVs, headphones, speakers, and hi‑fi systems with multipoint and low‑latency support.

Plug the MR280 into your TV, amp, or music player to add modern Bluetooth streaming without changing your equipment. It supports transmitter and receiver modes, low‑latency codecs for synced sound, multipoint pairing to keep two devices ready, and multiple physical inputs (optical, RCA, 3.5mm) so it adapts to legacy and current audio gear. A clear display and a volume control make daily use simple, while USB‑C power ensures compatibility with USB power supplies or mains adapters.

How does the MR280 keep TV audio in sync with wireless headphones?

The MR280 supports low‑latency Bluetooth codecs to reduce audio delay when watching TV or playing games. That keeps dialogue and on‑screen action aligned with sound, particularly when paired with low‑latency headphones or earbuds.

• Bluetooth 5.0 base for improved stability and throughput
• Low‑latency codec support for minimized audio lag
• Optical input option for cleaner digital audio feed
• Quick pairing and multipoint for two simultaneous headsets

Can I use the MR280 with both older RCA equipment and modern digital sources?

Yes — the MR280 includes optical (Toslink), RCA (phono), and 3.5mm aux connections so it plugs into TVs, CD players, turntables, and hi‑fi amps. Choose the optical input for the best digital audio quality; use RCA or 3.5mm when those are your only available outputs.

• Optical port for digital connections and reduced interference
• RCA and 3.5mm for legacy stereos and portable players
• USB‑C power: runs from mains or a powered USB port
• Bypass mode to integrate the MR280 into multi‑component setups

What does multipoint and dual‑mode operation allow me to do?

Multipoint lets the MR280 pair with two Bluetooth devices at once so you can switch between a headset and a speaker without re-pairing. Dual‑mode means it can function either as a transmitter (sending TV audio out) or as a receiver (bringing phone audio into a speaker), giving flexible placement across rooms and devices.

• Transmit TV audio to two headphones simultaneously
• Receive smartphone audio to play through a hi‑fi system
• Simple mode switching for transmitter or receiver use
• Volume control on the unit for quick level adjustments

How easy is setup and what devices will it work with?

Setup is plug‑and‑play: connect the MR280 to power and the audio source, switch to the required mode, and pair it with Bluetooth devices. It works across consoles, TVs, laptops, phones, tablets, headphones, speakers, and amplifiers without the need for drivers.

• Plug‑and‑play with USB, 3.5mm, optical, or RCA connections
• No driver installation required for consoles or smart TVs
• Compatible with PS5, Xbox, Switch, smartphones, and laptops
• Clear screen shows connection mode and pairing status

Who is this for: The August MR280 is for audio users who want to modernize legacy equipment, watch TV privately with wireless headphones, or stream phone music to a hi‑fi system without rewiring. It suits gamers seeking low‑latency wireless sound, households that share two headsets, and anyone who needs a compact, mains‑powered Bluetooth bridge for TVs, stereos, and portable players.
