Samsung advertises audio streaming from the Galaxy Tab to a compatible HDTV as a "Feature" of the powered HDMI cable (see http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/galaxy-tab-accessories/EPL-3PHPBEGSTA-features).
There has been no satisfactory response to similar questions posted to-date by other people about no sound when using the powered HDMI adapter. Connecting a separate audio cord from the Note 10.1's headphone jack into the amp or TV in addition to the HDMI should be unnecessary with a HDMI connector capable of both video and audio.
We would like the advertised audio to go with the video when using Samsung's HDMI adapter.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color
Cons: Did not meet expectations, no audio
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Too many cords
on March 27, 2013

This product was very disappointing and I will be returning it tomorrow. At first I thought it was excellent that I could still plug into my charger if my batteries were low. Then when I got home I soon found out that the adapter will not work unless it is plugged into the charger. The end result is a lot of cables everywhere and not a user friendly experience.
Cons: Did not meet expectations, requires use of charger

Borderline Useless

Would be a good product if it could charge the Tab while connected. Instead of being enjoyable to use it becomes a hassle. I want to plug it in, listen to some music and then forget about it until the morning and then have the tab charged up and ready for the day. Impossible with this design.
Cons: Did not meet expectations, poor design

This product works 50% of the time

Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. Does not read the hdmi cable on the tv source. Wondered if my product was damaged. Very picky electronic. Must have the wire to the tablet straight, no kinks. Also, need to always have the tablet plugged into electrical outlet to work. Like I said, good product when it works. Not good, when it doesn't work.
Pros: mirrors my screen
Cons: Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
