excellent piece of kit! does what it says! connected no problem via my amp and phone and sound it great…very happy with it and powered via my amp usb socket, so no need to plug into the wall!
This is a very good product which is easy to set up and produces a high quality sound. I really like how small it is and it can be hidden from view if required.
It’s very small but it works. I would have preferred if they had provided a phono to phono cable, but they include a USB power cable and a plug in one. Otherwise, it works really well and the sound quality is great for the money.
This is a wonderful little device. This is exactly what was required for my needs. Very easy to install and the sound quality is excellent. I have recommended to others.great service
The fact you can plug it into the mains or through USB offers more options, plus the great ease I had in connecting all of my devices to it was a huge plus. The connection remains stable too. Sound quality is fine for me. I dare say there are better options at a higher price, but personally I am satisfied with it. The bass kicks, the highs snap etc. The one thing I feel I must mention is that I did have to raise the volume a little more than I would usually to get the level I wanted. But this is not a big deal for me. My amp can go quite high.
In summary: It’s compact, easy to connect to with a stable connection and has a more than decent sound quality. The price? Well as I said, I got it on sale, so in the end it’s more about how much you’re prepared to pay for it.
Wanted to add Bluetooth capability to my smart car as had a longer journey to do in it that usual but didn’t want to fork out hundreds plus fitting for an upgrade tok the factory fitted one.
I first installed an AUX cable to the back of the stereo then plugged this in. With a double USB adaptor for the 12v socket in the car I can both charge my phone and power this unit. The sound is great and as a bonus I now have satnav and music playable at once while the unit and cable are mostly housed in the glove box so not too many dangling wires. Fully recommend this brand.. No idea why you would want to pay for the more expensive brand which seems to be just the same product.
This gadget was horribly disappointing out of the box. I connected the 3.5 JAK output to the Aux In sockets on the back of my ancient Cambridge Audio amp and it was all just straight up awful….sort of okay in mid range but the vocals sounded like the singer was under a blanket and the bass player was next door or maybe on a bus.
So I bought a pair of Amazon Basic RCA cables and everything is absolutely peachy. Sounds better than my expensive 90’s CD player ever did.
If you’re after hauling your old system onto planet Spotify this is definitely for you. Bass and clarity to die for. Buy one.
Brilliant bit of kit for the money. What it lacks in size it makes up in performance. I have decent hifi equipment so was a bit sceptical but no worries at all. Connected to my Samsung Galaxy and tested everywhere, 20 metres to bottom of my garden, upstairs with all doors closed, no drop out at all. Excellent sound quality too even with the RCA cable provided. Highly recommended
Occasional dropouts in sound were noticed but most likely were caused by the PC not the receiver. Overall it’s impressive and very straightforward to use.
However, this is brilliant, easy to install and set up along with a great sound quality as well.
As will all these kind of electrical items the cabling is very basic and does the bare minimum required.
I have mine set up into a mid nineties Technics amp and it works really well, I would recommend getting yourself some good quality rca cables
as this makes a massive difference to the sound quality. Well worth the 30 investment but do spend the same amount on your input cables
I’ve tried having the phone all over my 4 bed house, with no loss or degradation of signal,
Whether my hi-fi is odd I don’t know, but the difference in volume and sound quality with different leads is a game changer.
I’m also happy that there are no batteries to wear out rendering it useless as happened with my previous Bluetooth unit.
Yes, I would happily recommend this with the cable warning in mind.
We have a few conventional hifi systems in the house, and are using this on our kitchen system (NAD 310 amp, Mordaunt Short Avant speakers) to hook up blue tooth devices. I use an Audioengine B1 on another system (Cyrus 8DAC, Monitor Audio Bronze 2) and, although the B1 has very positive reviews for its sound quality (and I’ve been quite happy using it for more than two years now) I’m not sure this cheap alternative isn’t actually more or less every bit as good. The Esinkin adapter and the one from Logitech appear to be clones, so given my comparison of its audio qualities compared with the B1, I’d say it was a no-brainier to opt for the Esinkin as long as it is cheaper than the Logitech.
My only minor criticism, which I see is voiced in other reviews, is that this device is somewhat over-keen to connect with the first device which it detects. I simply connect it to its power supply at the same time as I connect it to a device and I can’t say that connection is anything other than an occasional and insignificant problem. Having paid under 20 for it, simply I don’t consider this an issue. Mainly I use it to play an Echo device through the kitchen system, which sounds a little redundant given that the Echo has a line-output, but for various reasons the Echo is in a different part of the room from the hifi and it is neither practical nor sightly to run a long lead between the two. The Esinkin also gets used on occasion with phones and tablets and, excepting the slight issue involving its keenness to connect with other devices, it works flawlessly.
I haven’t tried the Esinkin through my main, and very revealing, system (Rega Elex-R, B&W 705S2), although I have tried the Audioengine B1. I think that in this system the B1 sounds extremely inferior compared to analogue sources (so I don’t use it in this system). I can’t quite imagine the Esinkin would fare any better. However, there is no need to use either the Audioengine or Esinkin on this system as I have linked it up with the line-out of a 3rd gen Echo Dot. On all sources through the Dot (internet radio, Amazon Music HD and Ultra HD, and using the Dot as a blue tooth device), the sound quality is at the very least acceptable and at best as good as CD (and better than DAB).
So, in summary: if you want to blue tooth enable a conventional hifi system, then use an Echo or Echo Dot (or presumably some other similarly purposed and quality device), but if you’re averse to Alexa’s dulcet tones, Amazon’s hegemony, or if you can’t plug an Echo or similar device in via line level, then the little Esinkin device provides an excellent, inexpensive solution.
