    Cons:
    LEDs shine a very bright blue light, it might be better to make them less bright. Comes with a very short optical cord, about ...

    Involvement:General (knows how to use it) - Ownership:more than 1 month

    Pros:
    This converter is small and difficult to find in other stores. So I was very happy when I found it. To bad is does not work properly and you have to buy an european plug seperately. It is easy to connect

    Cons:
    The blue leds could've been less bright.
