Review on 🎧 GuliKit Route Air Bluetooth Adapter: Seamless Wireless Audio for Nintendo Switch, PS4, PC - Connect AirPods, Bluetooth Speakers & Headphones by Alex Cassanova

I was currently using the older Guilikit Route+ bluetooth adapter which was an amazing little device that made it easy to pair my bluetooth headphones with more than just the Nintendo Switch to use, but with various other USB devices. It was great not to be tied to the points with long wires during the train ride. It also had a pass-through port that allowed you to charge your Nintendo Switch while still using the dongle. The only thing I didn't like was that if I decide to place the Switch on a table while gaming, it protrudes from the bottom of the Switch, which puts pressure on the USB port on both the Switch and Route+ , resulting in a slight break moment. However, a newer GuliKit Route Air is emerging that greatly improves on the previous dongle with very few downsides. The new and thinner form factor sits flush with the bottom of the Nintendo Switch and no longer protrudes like it used to. The device itself now has two buttons A and B, which allow you to sync two headsets with one dongle, and 4 status LEDs (showing how many devices you have connected and what Bluetooth protocol they are using). The device comes in a nice plastic case. with a USB-C to USB-A converter so you can connect it to a PC or other USB-enabled device. It also has a plastic piece that the dongle sits on so it protects the USB-C port when it's not plugged in so it doesn't accidentally break if you have it in your pocket or suitcase. Pairing the device is easy, you plug in the dongle and press and hold the A or B button for 4 seconds while the headset is in pairing mode. It then quickly connects and indicates whether it's using SBC, aptX, or low-latency aptX. Unlike the Route+, my headset connects instantly when I unplug the Route Air and plug it back in. On Route+, it sometimes took a few seconds or even a resync of the headset before it connected. I used a pair of Shure SE215-BT2 and connected to Route Air via aptX LL protocol. The sound was great and I didn't notice any lag between the in-game action and the sound. Well, depending on your needs, you might consider this a scam. Unfortunately, the slimmer profile lacks a pass-through USB port, which would have allowed you to controversially use a Bluetooth headset and charge your Nintendo Switch. If you have one of the newer Nintendo Switch devices with better battery life, or a Nintendo Switch Lite, this might not be such a big deal for you. Depending on which case you use with your Nintendo Switch, this device may not fit 100%. I usually use a full sized case with my Switch. As you can see from the picture, I was able to plug in a Nintendo Switch with the dongle plugged in, but that's not the preferred way of using it. It's not the device's fault, just make sure the case you're using has a big enough notch to fit the wider size. You can use an adapter to extend it, but that then defeats the purpose of a low-profile dongle. Overall I am very happy with the quality and ease of use of GuliKit Route Air and will probably not use anything other than GuliKit. updates Route Air with a USB pass-through charging port. It's a shame the Nintendo Switch doesn't support Bluetooth natively, but it's definitely a great solution to this problem.
