Quality little device, well made and giving new life to older equipment
Handy little adapter, with a number of connection possibilities, in my case having an older computer, there is no built in blue tooth connection, so good to be able to add a connection so can stream from my phone.This adapter cable (approx. 70cm) plugs into the ‘aux in’ port on the control module for my Phillips desktop speakers then connected to the Bluetooth on my phone without any issue and was able to listen to the media content on my phone straight away, while the cable allows the device to be accessible.The transfer of audio quality was good, no issues there. The auto reconnection to the last connected device works as expected.The unit is a discrete size, hidden away under my monitor, having the 3.5mm jack to 3.5mm jack cable gives plenty of options for placement, just need to have access to it for charging and turning on / off. Charging is via a USB C port, with a USB A to C cable supplied. There is also a fixed 3.5mm jack to jack connector included.The volume up / down track up / down button on the device works well, along with the play / pause function of the main button, allowing control via the device only.The range is not tested very much in my application, being static on a PC; I understand being Bluetooth 5.0 it should have an effective range of about 70ft. I do have some other Bluetooth devices (such as speaker) which are old enough to have older Bluetooth standards, so being so portable the adapter can be used to upgrade other devices to improve the range and quality of connection.Quality little device, well made and giving new life to older equipment!

I cannot Get It To Work
I have a Honda and no matter what I do I cannot get this antenna to work. The Honda system states that the device is not supported. I have examined the insufficient instructions, but they are no help in this situation. it is not an old Honda, but it simply will not connect. I cannot get this product to work and therefore I cannot recommend it.

Very versatile Bluetooth receiver to give life to non wireless equipment
This is quite a small sized bluetooth receiver. It can be used in many scenarios as you get the wires and adapters (3.5mm) needed to attach it to an amplifier or remove completely to plug in your wired headphones to turn them into bluetooth headphones.Battery life is pretty good and more than enough for long periods away from a charger and it is good that it is USB C socket for this.So sound quality, it is BT 5.0 which, while not 5.3, is not as bad as you may feel. This receiver does not support HD codecs which could be a negative point. I think it is a shame but this would push the cost up quite a bit. I found the sound quality good and on par with other devices like this.For the money and the build quality I feel this is not bad value for money but not the best as others are available for a few pounds less,

Very convenient and easy to use bluetooth adapter
This is marketed as something to add bluetooth to your car stereo, but you can use this to add bluetooth to anything that accepts a 3.5mm stereo jack (i.e. a headphone style aux cable).This comes with an aux cable, a mini 3.5mm coupler and a USB-C charging cable. It's actually really useful having the detachable cable because you can connect it to pretty much anything.Being battery powered makes it very convenient - you can just plug it straight into the device with the mini coupler.The sound quality was good but not perfect. I used this to connect my Android tablet to my son's electronic dum kit and it worked perfectly.

Great Bluetooth adapter
This adapter is a good accessory to have in a slightly older car it connects via the Aux port and once up and running works very well giving a Bluetooth connection between my car and phone. Really happy I can play my music via it aswellGreat product

Expensive for just a receiver if connecting to an older audio system.
This is a perfectly good bluetooth adapter but it is only a receiver. For the same or lower price you could get an adapter that supports both receiving (i.e. for streaming music from your device to a non-bluetooth system) and transmitting (i.e. listening to music from a non-bluetooth system through bluetooth headphones).Where this adaptor justifies its higher price is when connected in a car, where a whole set of extra functionality is available.I hope you found this review useful.If you have a question, I always try to respond when Amazon forwards them to me.

Sound is good, but functionality is problematic
I use one of these in my car to connect my phone to the car stereo, since my car is too old to have Bluetooth. I have one and picked this up as a spare.Pros- First things first - Good clear sound. No complaints there. Connections and cables are good.- Siri is accessible with a medium long press on the multifunction button. But this is not mentioned in the manual- the manual is printed at a readable size - seriously! So many things come with a manual that is printed too small for any normal person to read. Well done.- While there is there is no battery level indicator, there is a low-battery prompt every 5 minutes if the battery is low. The manufacturer says the battery can last about 35 hours, which is longer than my other Bluetooth receiver.Cons- item is made for left-hand drive cars. It faces away from UK drivers. Not a massive problem, but it means that the light is facing away, useless you rotate the device, which then puts the buttons upsidedown.- Rewind doesn't skip back a track only to the beginning of a track.- The light is a little hard to see, so I often forget to switch it off when I'm getting out of the car. Althogh there is an auto-off function, my phone often still stays connected since the car is parked outside. THis means I can miss calls/messages since the sound is redirected to the car. It just means I need to be sure that it is off or disconnected.- the other one I have has a dedicated Siri button—this would be useful. I tend to use mine to ask questions or make notes on stuff I'm listening to when I'm driving.- There is nothing visual to indicate the battery level. (my other one does)
