FriencityBluetooth 5.4 Receiver for Speaker, Bluetooth Audio Receiver Adapter for Car Stereo Home Stereo Amp Wired Headphones, Hi-Fi Music Wireless AUX Adapter with 3.5mm RCA Jack, 20H Playtime

was easy to connect and turned a good pair of headphones into a bluetooth pair

Basically a means to make my wired headphones optionally wireless - which I only occasionally want - so didn't want to buy dedicated BT/wi fi headphones. My upper range isn't so good now but it all sounds fine to me. No problems connecting etc. All good.

--------< Short Review >--------4/5Paid: £18.98 - GBP+ ProsGood features, easy controls, works well, small size & weight.- ConsA couple of minor problems. Don't impct normal usability.= ConclusionHappy with purchase. Would buy again.--------< Long Review >-------- I bought this bluetooth receiver for £15.99 + £2.99 delivery (total £18.98), about two weeks ago now. It works very well. I only have 4 very small complaints with its use and design.In order of most-least annoying, they are: 1 - Device Sleep - Moderate annoyance - The sleep timer is great for saving a couple minutes of battery but it activates to quickly. When listening to audiobooks, the chapter number and title are warped by the volume rising quickly as the device wakes up after the few seconds of silence during the track change allows it to fall asleep. 2 - Min volume - Moderate annoyance - The receiver doesn't support the minimum volume setting of my iPhone SE3. Testing shows it can support a volume of 12% or more. The lowest iPhone volumes are 6% and 13%. This can leave it slightly too loud in very quiet environments, eg. At night or in a library. 3 - Max volume - Minor annoyance - Like most bluetooth devices, it has a verbal indication that you have reached maximum volume, there are also callouts for new connections and power on/off. The volume callout lasts several seconds and can trigger more than once if you're tapping quickly, 2-3 times, meaning you can miss ~15 seconds of your music, phonecall, or book. Also, in general, they are very loud. I connect my phone before plugging in my headphones. 4 - Charging - Minor annoyance - The charge light is quite strange. The blue power indicator light is lit as normal but with a rapid red flicking competing on the same indicator. Also, the device will turn on and cannot be powered off while charging. I originally purchased this device to save my phones lightning port from breaking when using a headphone adaptor in my pocket while walking. It succeeds excellently at this. The product has good integrated controls for pause/play, skip and volume. I love the simple phonecall pickup and presence of a microphone on the device, in cold or wet weather my phone can remain in a pocket, I can keep gloves on, and the device is small enough to hold in the same hand as an umbrella or shopping bag. If I'd known about the small issues I might have searched a little longer for a more expensive model that didn't have these issues. If an equivalent quality/features device without these issues is sold, I can't find one. With that said, overall, I'm very happy with my purchase for the price I paid (£18.98) and will continue to use it for a long time yet.

It’s a hassle having to charge it when it dies, I bought a better one that plugs in your lighter. And can charge phones etc from it

Terrible sound quality, you get what you pay for.

Great product would defo recommend only downful little quiet and can only have one phone connected at a time

Bought this recently to put in use a small hoard of old wired phone earphones that all got abandoned since the phones stopped using 3.5 mm audio connectors. Technically, it can act as a BT bridge between any two devices one of which having BT and the other 3.5 mm jack, both ways.Another great use for me is that I can now hook up those same old wired earphones to watch movies and series using Bluetooth connection on my old laptop plugged into the TV while the wife is sleeping (small place, thin walls).It's a great gadget, has its own volume, call and next/previous track controls, and battery seems to be good for solid 8-10 hours, at the minimum, with the wired earphones I'm using. Try that with BT earbuds for a full season of any show... Without this puppy, you'll be done by episode 3.Only theoretical downside is that it might be easy to lose track of when unplugged as it is pretty small.Nice toy, it will be used a lot.

Good value, good performance, and good battery life. I have an older stereo with an Aux In. Works really well and plays nice with multiple devices.

It's compact and lightweight. Works ok so far.

I owned a prior version of this from the seller. I replaced it with this product which is about 1/3 the size of the former. It works well. The bluetooth connection is fast and easy. This has only a 3.5 mm jack output (no RCA jacks) which is fine for my needs. Unfortunately the product failed within a few weeks but the vendor stood behind it and has replaced it. I'm happy with the product and the vendor.

Getting some crackling while in use but overall good value. I just change the song and it works.
