The connection is simple and quick to set up:
In Windows 8 "Add Bluetooth device" type from the home screen and add "PhilipsBT". Already this is set up as a headset or reproducing apparatus. When this at the playback devices now even as the default device defined (right-click speaker icon in the taskbar -> "Playback Devices" -> right click on "headphones PhilipsBT stereo" -> "Set as Default Device"), the laptop connects at startup automatically with the adapter and are all sounds on the external boxes.
Should he have not, strangely enough, once connected, do the following:
Right-click the speaker icon in the taskbar -> "Playback Devices" -> right click on "headphones PhilipsBT stereo" -> "Connect". Upon successful connection, the sound on the adapter should be reproduced.
With the mobile phone (in my HTC One S), it is almost even simpler:
Search for new Bluetooth devices and add the PhilipsBT. Already this is activated when Bluetooth enabled headset or as output device.
Of course, it should be noted that the Bluetooth adapter on the device can be activated only if it is not already connected to another device. So before can connect eg the laptop with the Philips, first connect to the mobile phone must be disconnected (eg simple mobile phone Bluetooth off)
The recipient's LED indicates a connected device with a brighter glow, as if no device is connected.
One of the key things will probably actually be the sound quality for many - and this reminds me not to negative. Have the adapter connected to an amplifier with two mid-priced 50-watt speakers and notice so far no specific loss - at least purely the sound on.
Somewhat different is the situation in the latency - that is, the delay it takes for the sound via the adapter to the speakers. This is almost exactly 0.4 seconds. This is for example important when playing videos in which thus the image of the sound is a little ahead. With players such as VLC Media Player this can be but in "Tools" -> "Track Synchronization" -> "Soundtrack Syndication" -> Set "s -0.400".
Maybe that helps even one or the other who is angry in retrospect about this feature of the radio transmission.
In order yet to lose a word about workmanship and design, I can the small, pretty, shiny black thing only express praise. It's simple, easy and the little blue status LED is quite unremarkable.
Who is looking for a quick, easy way to connect his Bluetooth-enabled players with the boxes, can safely access my opinion here.

Note from 12:09:13:
According to D. Gah automatic connection does not work with the iPhone when the adapter with Bluetooth enabled approaching. One must here set the device each time as a sound output. However, this would be just as little possible with the adapter from Logitech.
(Thanks to D. Gah for this info)
