It could be better. Best in Bluetooth Car Kits

That's why I bought this bluetooth receiver from a brick and mortar store because it was a lot cheaper than it was is sold in Revan. I needed a way to use my wired/bluetooth/wireless headphones and this is one of the bluetooth receivers I found. Although). It fully charges in less than 2 hours and takes 4-5 hours to charge. It may not be much or long enough, but given the fsctor's small size and the size of its internal battery, it's understandable that it won't hold enough charge for a day or two. Pairing with your device can be difficult, you must read and follow the instructions for smooth pairing. My Samsung Galaxy S7 paired with this Bluetooth receiver with no problems, but it took me a few tries to pair it with my Revain Fire TV. Sound quality is acceptable and probably better than most actual Bluetooth headphones. The Bluetooth receiver does not have its own volume control, so you must use the volume control on your audio source to adjust the volume. I've never had any interruptions during use, but I've found that if you grip the device firmly with both hands, the sound mutes (but doesn't turn off). I noticed these weird issues when I fell asleep while listening to music and slept on the device and the sound stopped working, but when I turned around and the device was in sight the sound returned. So I tested how effective the reception is and I had no problems using it from another room with walls in between. But reception degrades/disappears when I squeeze it with both hands or hold it between my neck and chin and cover it with my hands (I just checked for fun). Probably I'm not that transparent (laughs) and the signal doesn't go through me. Alternatively, you can use the device while it's charging, although there's a trick to doing this. The Bluetooth receiver also has a built-in microphone if you want to use it with wired headphones (but I've never had a chance to test it to see how good it is). It features a 3.5mm audio output and comes with a USB micro-B cable and a short audio cable. All in all, this is a decent Bluetooth receiver when you have it on sale for $19. But I need a receiver that will last over 4 hours on a full charge and I love the volume control.

Pros
  • Works with any smartphone, tablet or USB device capable of transmitting Bluetooth Stereo Protocol (A2DP)
Cons
  • Expensive
