Love this small gadget
I looked around for a Bluetooth receiver so I could stream my music wirelessly. I saw this receiver pop up last week (without reviews, it was new), and I decided to take a chance. It was much cheaper than the other more popular receivers, and I reasoned that since Bluetooth receivers did only one job, it should work. Well, it works very well!This receiver paired quickly with my iPhone 6S and has had no issues connecting or streaming music. I use it every day after I received it, and it is very convenient for working out. The answer/denial call function also works well, although I mostly use it to listen to music.Overall, I've been very impressed with this little guy. It has performed flawlessly, and I couldn't be happier. I love the freedom of being unplugged, and I can't believe I waited this long to buy a Bluetooth receiver. I would purchase this again in a heartbeat. Would definitely recommend this to a friend.

A pros and cons list for the device
PROS:• Great, careful packaging with a lot of extra parts and pieces.• Good battery life! I like to fall asleep with music playing, and the receiver stays turned on all night while I sleep. It lasts around 3 full nights. That's around 24 hours!• Charges up quickly. I'm not sure about exact times, but after I unboxed mine, it was fully charged in about 3 hours.• A voice talks through the headphones to tell you when it's powering on or battery is low. It's nice to have some feedback.• The (very bright and pretty) LED light behind the control button flashes in different patterns to let you know what's going on with the device (connecting, charging, in use, etc)CONS:• A bit of static white noise is always present in the background. It's easy enough to ignore but bothersome if you're a fan of very high sound quality.• When watching videos, there's a noticeable lag between the video and the audio being transmitted through the device.• The LED light in the control button blinks while the device is on and in use, at about one blink every 3 seconds. While this might not be a concern for some people, I do like so sleep with headphones on, so the blinking is sort of annoying for that. The light is very bright, too, but I just stick the receiver under my pillow while I sleep. I could see the blinking being embarrassing if you're somewhere dark around other people, maybe.• It's loud! The minimum volume setting on my phone is much louder when i'm using the transmitter to listen than when i have my headphones connected directly. Again, this might not be a problem for some people, but I do like to use headphones at night, and I usually want the volume to be pretty quiet.

Great for use with iPhone 7 -- good sound and fully functional controls
This product works great for my iPhone 7! It provides good bluetooth functionality that also allows me to use all of my favorite earbuds that don't hae a lightning connector (and don't get me started about Apple getting rid of the mini-plug port). I can now wear my headphones on the treadmill without the weight of my phone in the pocket of my shorts and without taking the chance of accidentally yanking my phone out of the storage space on the treadmill. I don't notice any appreciable loss of fidelity (though that may not be so obvious given the noisy environment), the battery stays charged long enough for several exercise sessions, and so far it seems quite sturdy. Best of all, the pause/skip/call button works as it should, which is frequently not the case with iPhone accessories. The only negative is that the instructions are virtually inscrutable. I didn't even use if for a couple of months after I purchased it until I had the time and patience to sit down and figure it out, bjt now that I have, it's a great accessory for my iPhone 7 and favorite non-lightning connector earbuds.

... that the more money I spend on a device like this, the better it would be
I bought this product thinking that the more money I spend on a device like this, the better it would be. The sound quality was awesome! It was the perfect product. But for the cost, it wasn't worth it. I only got two months out of it. After that, the Bluetooth party didn't work. It would no longer connect to devices. It wouldn't show up on the device. It would just constantly blink. I am disappointed especially since I tried to contact this company through Amazon and they didn't reply back.

Bluetooth wonder
Convenient and simple to use/ set up, approx 4 hour battery, great sound quality (of course depends on the headphones used). Form factor is wonderful - very small and lite weight, yet multiple carry options. Once set up, will automatically connect to the iPhone. I've been using about two weeks now.Highly recommended

Don't do it
I got this to work two times and have been Fritzing with it and it will not work it says it's Perry and then it shuts off . I thought for the price I get something that would work. I have tried and tried. I missed my 30 day return only because I was waiting for my computer tech who was out of town to look at it and he can't get it to work either.

This was a pretty cool adaptor that let me use my current apple ...
Purchased in July 2017. I tried a number of wireless earbuds but nothing really stayed in my ear. This was a pretty cool adaptor that let me use my current apple buds which fit great for my ears. I really liked it when it worked for the 6 months I had it.Per the other reviews, it will eventually give out... it will no longer pair via Bluetooth anymore.Treat this as a disposable product. I used this product strictly for the gym. Sound was just as loud as wired earbuds. I got my use out of it, but not a long term device. If it lasted a year plus, I may have re-purchased, but 6 months is too short of a run for me.
