Review on πŸ”Š NFC-Enabled Bluetooth Audio Receiver for Sound System by HomeSpot by Andrew Dickens

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great I wish I had bought

$26 and change and it's a steal. First, you get a USB power adapter and a power cord. You will then be provided with a stereo RCA to 3.5mm patch cable, as well as a 3.5mm stereo patch cable to jack, allowing you to connect a Bluetooth receiver regardless of the type of input on your receiver or other device be able. Delivery Delivery with cable, stereo patch cable, all very good quality, no complaints. Then there's the USB receiver itself: a nice little bit of work that's about 1 inch and 1/2 square and about 1/2 inch, just really nice work, nice glossy black, and it just feels like quality when you hold it hand. Plug in the USB power cable, plug in the patch cable to connect it to the receiver, take any device - tablet, smartphone, kindle, etc. - you want to pair the receiver with, enable Bluetooth pairing on your device and press the pairing button on the receiver, wait 2 or 3 seconds and you're done. It is really that easy. According to the description, it should be paired with eight devices. I've already paired it with my Kindle HDX Fire and fourth generation iPod touch, very easy. I found a small catch: while this Bluetooth receiver can pair with eight different devices, it can only actively pair with one device at a time. This means that if you have a paired Kindle, for example, and you want to pair it with an iPod, you must first disable the pairing between the Kindle and the Bluetooth receiver before you can pair it with the iPod. If you want to switch back to Kindle, you must unpair your iPod and Bluetooth receiver before you can pair your Bluetooth receiver and Kindle again. Your individual devices like Kindle and iPod will remember the Bluetooth receiver and the Bluetooth receiver will remember your various devices, but you must remember to turn off Bluetooth pairing from one device before connecting another device. It's a little frustrating because sometimes if you get it wrong you have to go back and go through the whole pairing process to turn your device back on. What I do is when I'm done using the bluetooth receiver with, say, my kindle, I just go in and out of the bluetooth receiver on my kindle, that way I just go to when I want to use my iPod with the Bluetooth receiver Bluetooth settings in my iPod and then connect to the receiver and when I'm done with the iPod I disconnect the receiver in my iPod to let the receiver connect freely with my iPod or my Kindle, whichever I choose. continue to use. I have no doubt that it's just as easy to pair with my other Bluetooth-enabled devices. I just have to remember that every device I use needs to unpair it from the Bluetooth receiver when I'm done using it with the Bluetooth receiver so that it can freely connect to the device I use as want to use next. I have no experience with other similar bluetooth receivers but I think it will probably be something common for these devices. If you're spending a hundred dollars or more on a really complex device, you might not need to unplug one device before you can plug in another, but I don't want to spend money trying to find out. I can live with remembering to disable one before using the other. Like I said, I kick myself in the butt for not buying something like this sooner. If I had known about them beforehand, I would have bought them.
