Does what it says on the tin - good adapter

I've tried various Bluetooth adapters available from Revain over the past few months; Looking for a Bluetooth solution for my 2015 Honda F6B. This bike has a 12V power connector located next to the 3.5mm input auxiliary cable (plug) - a common location in many vehicles. SOME of these adapters do different things - so here's what I've found out so far: What makes this adapter unique: THIS product allows you to connect your phone via BT to BOTH it (for media streaming and navigation output) as well as to a set BT headset - so I can answer calls directly in the headset (without trying to speak into the phone). Media automatically disappears during a call - really cool. The sound quality is standard for BT - with no noticeable loss of quality. I find the Chinese woman's voice funny - I can't believe that's a problem for some people. Multimedia (sound) output to the car is via a 3.5mm cable connector. THIS other model (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074WQRPFG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) outputs to EITHER the 3.5mm cable port OR the USB port eh is really useful if you're looking for a solution without an AUX cable (3.5mm) - in my particular case it can be placed in the rear trunk (like in many Goldwings) and will connect/input audio via the USB port. Unfortunately, on my bike, the sound from the rear entrance is noticeably cut off, and I've abandoned that approach. THIS model will NOT connect to 2 separate devices. THIS model (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07B4S8SWM/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1) only outputs audio through the 3.5mm cable connector; and only connects to one device (phone). BUT it accepts an SD card with music - it also has buttons for play/call/etc functions but I haven't found any practical use for it. All 3 models work as intended - whatever you try they should work for your particular application (e.g. some cars don't have a 3.5mm aux cable - others don't accept input from the USB port). In my case, I chose the product listed here because the F6B's sound quality is much better when using the AUX-in cable and I can connect BT to a separate headset if I want to. Please keep in mind that I am judging the sound quality on a motorcycle, but in my experience the sound quality (calls, navigation and media streaming) is pretty much the same on all devices, so the discriminator is each model's unique FUNCTIONALITY. - which is quite difficult to understand from product descriptions. Hope that helps!
