DockLinQ Pro Bluetooth 5.0 Adapter Receiver for Bose Sounddock and 30 pin iPod iPhone Music Docking Station(Not for Cars)

I bought this to provide bluetooth connectivity between my phone and my old Bose sound dock. I plugged it in and had it working in a few minutes. The sound is good. It met all my expectations. I'm giving it 5 stars overall but I'm docking it one star because the volume is a little less than the volume from my old Ipod. I'm mainly writing this review to clarify how the connectivity works because it wasn't clear from the description.1) The bluetooth connection with my android phone was fast and worked first time. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. As I suspected, the one downside is that once set up, it will attempt to connect with your phone every time it comes within range. Obviously, this can be a problem if you want to make or receive phone calls in the house or use another bluetooth speaker as I do. To overcome this, on Android 12.0, swipe down to bring up the quick settings menu, press and hold the bluetooth button, and then press disconnect. To reconnect, repeat but press connect.2) The connection with an Echo dot is bluetooth. I tried connecting to my old first generation Echo and it seemed to connect with the DocklinQ sitting next to the Echo as recommended in the instructions. However, when I moved the DocklinQ Pro to another room plugged it in to the sounddock, the Echo used its internal speaker. I don't know if the old Echo couldn't handle the distance or if it wasn't really bluetooth enabled. It wasn't desirable to have the speaker and microphone from the Echo in different rooms anyway so I removed the connection from my Echo using my Alexa App. My primary purpose for this thing was to use the DocklinQ with my phone so I didn't spend any time trying to debug it.

This is great little unit. The updated Bluetooth actually makes my music sound like it is directly connected with a cable. I have this in an old boom box with detachable speakers and a subwoofer. (In a non heated garage) It has a docking port for an old 25 pin iPhone.

Great connectivity. Easy to use. Works well

I received a message from this seller that the sound may be due to electromagnetic interference. They advised to try to turn the phone volume up and the volume on the speaker down - this worked.The product works; however right out of the box once connected via bluetooth, there is a loud buzzing sound. The connectivity randomly disconnects. and requires disconnecting from bluetooth and then reconnecting to continue playing. I do play music most of the day so it does get quite a bit of use. However, I have never had an issue with other similar products.

wow! i bought this particular brand after seeing the great reviews. it was rather simple easy to connect to bluetooth and have it work instantly! i highly recommend it!

I love, love this! Had an old Bose dock speaker than we have not been able to use since upgrading iPhone a few years back. This was due to my Bose dock 2 was not compatible with the Bluetooth! I ordered this product and to my surprise I’m up and running listening to that perfect sound quality that Bose is known for! It’s so easy to pair with your iPhone and you cannot beat the low cost of this device! Now when we are in the pool the music is blaring and we love it!

I have a pretty old bookshelf Sony stereo system with the iPod dock I never used because I never went into the iPod fad. I was contemplating getting rid of it since it did not have bluetooth capability and I am into using the iheart radio app on my phone. Then I ran across this device. I was a little worried because there were quite a number of Sony devices listed that it would not work with, but my stereo is so old it occurred to me it probably wouldn't show up on the lists, so I went ahead and tried it. It works GREAT!!! I am so happy with it. The stereo system stays!!

This Bluetooth adapter is compact and practical, making it an excellent choice for on-the-go use or tight setups. Despite its small size, it offers reliable connectivity, pairing seamlessly with a variety of devices. The sound quality is impressive, delivering clear and consistent audio without noticeable lag or interference. A solid option for anyone looking to upgrade their audio setup with wireless convenience.
