Background: I listen to music at the gym for 45-120min, 6 days a week. I bought a Vaas Morph (probably a brand you've never heard of) shaped exactly like this 4.5 years ago because I got sick of having my iPhone strapped to my upper arm, and my gym bag is always somewhat nearby. I liked it so much that I bought a 2nd so I could carry both and then swap between the two when a battery died. Fast forward 2 years and one of them died. I tried to find another to no avail. I bought an Avantree Clipper and a Noisehush that is once again shaped just like these. The Clipper sounded far and away better than any of the ones shaped like this, but it was rather delicate and the clip broke within 6 months, followed by the whole thing exploding (possibly a weight dropped on it) a month or so later.The noisehush just stopped working last week.So I figured I'd try one of these.Looking at the listing it's not initially apparent that the black one of these differs not only in color, but also the "guts." It has a better BT chip (one that supports AAC, which is kinda rare) and a slightly larger battery.Now, I've only had this for a week, so I have no idea about longevity. If/when this dies I'll update the review to reflect that - assuming it's still available. But for now, just know that its initial charge has lasted a week (roughly 8.5 hours) thus far (more than any of my other ones last) and its sound is at least on par with the Clipper, if not better. (Meaning it's the best one of these I've ever used as far as sound quality goes.)Now, it's no W1/Airpod experience when it comes to BT connectivity. If I wander more than 20ft from my bag containing my iPhone X (in a VERY electronically noisy environment with LOTS of people using BT headsets) it will stutter - frankly worse than some of the other ones I've used - and takes longer to re-connect and start playing again. But once I'm back within 10 ft or so, it's been rock solid. Also, it seems to have an issue between songs slightly cutting off the first second or so. I don't know why that is, but it does tend to happen. I've grown used to it now however.Regardless, chances are good I will buy another one of these if this holds up for another month or so (or sooner if my old Morph dies sooner.) It just sounds soooo much better than the others.Other tidbits: The headphone jack is on the opposite side from the other 3 shaped like this that I've owned. Just something to adapt to I suppose.I've used the older ones with 2 different sets of Skullcandy Fix headphones, both of which have since died. My current set is a Westone Beta (High Adventure.)I prefer this setup to the now-pervasive behind the neck all-in-one BT headphones. Specifically the cable bothers me on squats and bench.Edit (Dec 2019): I bought a 2nd one of these shortly after I wrote the above (partially because it went on sale.) So I've been using both (in rotation so one is always fully charged) since then. I am clearly not overly careful with my gym bag because I broke one of these at some point. It's still fully functional as I just broke the bottom 1/3 of one of the clips. This means it simply doesn't stay clipped to my shirt as well and I have to be a bit more careful with its placement as the edges are sharp. But honestly I don't think about it much.I now store them in a hard case when I'm not using them to hopefully prevent further damage like this.At this point battery life still seems to be what I would hope for. Sound is the same as well. I will say that the low battery warning and the point where it powers off tend to be identical - meaning it just shuts off with no warning. I'm not sure if that's better or worse than the loud annoying beeps that would go off for 5+ minutes before shutoff that other brands tended to have. It's just different.But honestly, beyond that, zero complaints. The things just blend into the background of my workouts - which is exactly what I want. Even if they died tomorrow I'd consider it money well spent and buy two more.

I bought this to work with my Bose noise cancelling earbuds for long flights. (Apple has decided we don't need an earbud plug on our phones) The item works as described but I chose this particular item over the Bluetooth 4.1 versions hoping to get more battery life from them as Version 5.0 is supposed to consume less energy. What I received was not a 5.0 version according to the paperwork that came with it. There are other, cheaper, 4.1 version devices on sale here on Amazon. It's too much hassle to return them ( I bought 2) but I do not care for being mislead on the advertising so I gave it 1 star, more against the merchant than the product itself.

A nice bluetooth receiver. It has its pros and cons, though.Pros:1. Easy to use, just use the center button to turn it off and on, or to pause and play. When it's on, jut push the button till the light blinks to put in pairing mode while your transmitting device is "scanning."2. Instead of the usual double beep, when it pairs the device actually announces in a recorded voice when it's paired.3. I have used it now for a month and it has worked well with Kindle Oasis, Kindle Fire HD10, and my Dell laptop. I use it for long periods listening to audio books and music.4. It will NOT receive when it is charging. So when I sit at my desk, I can't plug it in to charge while I'm using it. Annoying.5. The clip is tight. The edge of a crew necked T shirt is almost too thick for the clip. It does work okay on the edge of a blouse or dress shirt or thinner material.You cannot use the clip on something like a sweatshirt, I used a big safety pin and then hooked the clip into the safety pin . . . annoying, but a solution as my shirt did not have a pocket.6. Volume buttons work fine, jump ahead and back work just like the buttons on the Audible and audio play buttons. I especially appreciate being able to pause and play.6. The microphone works well enough for Alexa on the kindle fire hd 10.Even though sound quality is excellent, I gave it four stars because it quits when I plug it in to charge and the clip is just too tight to make it my go-to receiver.Updated: Does pair with my Kindle Oasis, but will NOT pair with my Kindle Fire HD10 (from 2018). After calling Amazon and going through their trouble shooting . . . still wouldn't pair. (Although my other bluetooth headphones and bluetooth speakers pair fine).After being used a couple of hours a day to listen to audiobooks on my Kindle Oasis, the devices quit lasting more than about 20 minutes. Then suddenly it would just disconnect. Today, it has refused to connect at all. It is going into the electronics recycling bin.

I bought this to use with my Samsung TV and a headphone splitter so my wife and I could both listen to the TV. I have a pair of Bluetooth headphones that work great with the TV so can't blame the TV but this device seems to have very poor range. Even sitting in front of the TV only maybe 10 feet away you can tell it's dropping packets. The audio gets crackly/poppy sometimes. And if I walk with it to the kitchen which is the room behind the TV it drops out altogether whereas I can wear the Bluetooth headset into the garage and still get some reception. So not working well for me.

this bluetooth receiver works very well it was late ariving but now i have it it is the best receiver i have ever boughti have had three other divices in the past as i use bluetooth headphones a lot this is one of a few that you can charge at the same time as useing it is worth the wait i would recomend this over the other as it seems to be a lot more of a professional item than all the rest i have used

Was using this for a while and noticed no problems, worked great, decent battery life, but that was with earbuds.Plugging in better quality headphones reveals a TON of noise, which gets worse when sound is being streamed. You can't hear it during loud passages, but it's truly horribly during soft dialog or quiet passages. Almost unusable during phone calls, the noise levels are so much worse. Have tried a different brand with the same headphones and ZERO noise.Avoid
