Does its job

This device has one purpose, to receive a Bluetooth audio signal and pass it to 1/4 inch outputs, and it fulfills this purpose without hassle or ceremony. Pros: easy to use since it has just one obvious button; the color blue reminds people that it's related to Bluetooth; plug and play, no hassles. Cons: the Bluetooth name of this device is "BT4.0" which in my opinion is not obviously associated to this device. I would have expected "Fun Generation BT" or something like that. I hardly believe you can customize the name either. The build quality is also simple and cheap, but gladly it's sturdy.

Nett

Nett und klein, für mal eben schnell Musik absolut ausreichend.

Verarbeitung ist okay, ein Plastik Gehäuse halt.

Das Steckernetzteil was ich dazu bekommen habe hat keinen L-Förmigen Stecker auf Seite des Bluetooth Empfängers, lässt sich also nicht unter die Plastiknase drehen, und so "zuschließen". Die ursprünglichen Netzteile waren wohl mal andere.

Aber das ist eigentlich auch nur etwas kosmetisches, und daher gebe ich, grade auch weil es nur 39 € kostet, 5/5 Sternen.

Does the job well

Needed for a pair of Bluetooth-less speakers, gets the job done.

Quality, as expected over bluetooth, but for the convenience of having my speakers working with my phone, it is worthy.

Not the advertised range

I bought it to receive audio from a laptop or cellphone and what not. The range is very poor, it starts to interrupt at around 5 meters of distance. Also it outputs a pop every time it's powered on or off. Not super high quality. Otherwise the sound is good and it does what it's supposed to do.

Works Great

Great Bluetooth coverage, at least 10m. Stereo sound and easy pairing. Magnetic base is great too. Would recommend.

Very reliable

I have been using this Bluetooth receiver for more than 9 months and it's very reliable. I don't have any disconnection or sound quality issue. I strongly recommend it.

Does what it says on the tin and does it quite well

There is not much to add to the previous reviews.

Only thing I wish it had were the buttons or a knob for adjusting the volume. Also the working distance could have been a bit longer, but considering the price I really cannot complain.

Also I was a bit worried about the Bluetooth latency, considering it works still with version 4.0. Fortunately it was surprisingly low, so no problems in that department either.

Bluetooth in church

I purchased one of these bluetooth units for a church I attend for use in a simple ipad controlled system. I wanted a device that had balanced Jack outputs and was easy to pair devices with. The Fun Generation BT receiver matched the requirements but was also very cheap. I was very skeptical on how effective and good it would be. I have been rather pleased with the unit. I feel that the bluettoth distance in line of sight is on the shorter side (10-15m) and really needs to be line of sight once over 10m.

The audio quality seems good considering it is beening send over bluetooth. Users find it easy to pair and operate. Construstion wise it is plastic but we have had no issues and seems well built.

Bun, pentru pretul platit

Conectare facila, intuitiv. Sunet rezonabil. Nu e premium, e clar, dar poate fi folosit!

Perfect for increasing the versatility of any system.

Over the years I have bought the TP-Link HA100 multiple times, because they are extremely versatile in their use. I have handed these little gadgets out to friends because I even kept some spare! While browsing for an audio interface this gadget caught my eye, because it fulfills the same purpose but with balanced stereo output and a more sturdy build quality.

Having now used it for a couple of weeks I can recommend these gadgets for any system that has balanced stereo inputs. The magnets are very strong so I can stick it on the bottom of a metal desk element, out of sight. Once paired, connection is lightning quick, and it automatically reconnects when powering up. Only con is that is its a pretty ugly case and looks cheap.

does the job

may look like a low-quality product from the store page, but very small, sturdy and pretty consistent with the performance. Use it all the time, haven't had issues for a month now.

good price

Good device but the signal range is really poor. i guess maybe 8 10 meters. without stuff between.

Great little add on

Was looking for a more easy way to play music before going live and went for this product. It does what it needs to without breaking the bank.

Pro:

ease of use

price

Cons:

average sound quality

reliable range about 10m

Can't complain for the package that you get. It does the job. I would recommand for playing casual songs before a rig when you are not fussed about the best possible quality.

Simple and functional

I got this thing to have a quick backup sound source in hobby grade live situations when background music is needed but DJ hardware or other "proper" sound source isn't set up, and it does its job great for that purpose. The single-button user interface is perfect for this application.

Soundwise I don't have anything to complain about. Bluetooth alone is likely more limiting than the rest of the device.

The magnet attachment on the bottom allows the unit to be slapped onto any flat steel surface. I usually have it on the side of my mixer and connected with short 0.5 m TRS cables. It's compact and even has balanced line outputs. The plastic housing feels solid and doesn't squeak or twist.

The only thing I don't like is the wall wart style external power supply, but at this price it's expected and allowed. At least it has the German TÜV GS certification along with the CE mark, so I'll expect it to fail safely if (and when) it does.
