This is quite a small sized bluetooth receiver. It can be used in many scenarios as you get the wires and adapters (3.5mm) needed to attach it to an amplifier or remove completely to plug in your wired headphones to turn them into bluetooth headphones.
Battery life is pretty good and more than enough for long periods away from a charger and it is good that it is USB C socket for this.
So sound quality, it is BT 5.0 which, while not 5.3, is not as bad as you may feel. This receiver does not support HD codecs which could be a negative point. I think it is a shame but this would push the cost up quite a bit. I found the sound quality good and on par with other devices like this.
For the money and the build quality I feel this is not bad value for money but not the best as others are available for a few pounds less
Integrating this adapter into my daily commute transformed my old car stereo into a modern entertainment hub. The setup was straightforward, and the sound quality it delivers is commendably clear. The battery life is impressive, easily lasting through long journeys. While the hands-free calling feature enhances safety, I noticed a minor delay in connectivity on occasion. It’s a small hiccup in an otherwise seamless experience, making old sound systems relevant again.
This is marketed as something to add bluetooth to your car stereo, but you can use this to add bluetooth to anything that accepts a 3.5mm stereo jack (i.e. a headphone style aux cable).
This comes with an aux cable, a mini 3.5mm coupler and a USB-C charging cable. It’s actually really useful having the detachable cable because you can connect it to pretty much anything.
Being battery powered makes it very convenient – you can just plug it straight into the device with the mini coupler.
The sound quality was good but not perfect. I used this to connect my Android tablet to my son’s electronic dum kit and it worked perfectly.
Handy little adapter, with a number of connection possibilities, in my case having an older computer, there is no built in blue tooth connection, so good to be able to add a connection so can stream from my phone.
This adapter cable (approx. 70cm) plugs into the ‘aux in’ port on the control module for my Phillips desktop speakers then connected to the Bluetooth on my phone without any issue and was able to listen to the media content on my phone straight away, while the cable allows the device to be accessible.
The transfer of audio quality was good, no issues there. The auto reconnection to the last connected device works as expected.
The unit is a discrete size, hidden away under my monitor, having the 3.5mm jack to 3.5mm jack cable gives plenty of options for placement, just need to have access to it for charging and turning on / off. Charging is via a USB C port, with a USB A to C cable supplied. There is also a fixed 3.5mm jack to jack connector included.
The volume up / down track up / down button on the device works well, along with the play / pause function of the main button, allowing control via the device only.
The range is not tested very much in my application, being static on a PC; I understand being Bluetooth 5.0 it should have an effective range of about 70ft. I do have some other Bluetooth devices (such as speaker) which are old enough to have older Bluetooth standards, so being so portable the adapter can be used to upgrade other devices to improve the range and quality of connection.
Quality little device, well made and giving new life to older equipment!
SIMOLIO Car Bluetooth AUX Adapter, Wireless Bluetooth Receiver 3.5mm for Home Stereo/Speaker/Wired Headphones, 35H Playtime, Volume Control, Hands Free Calls, Dual Link. Volume and Track Control. 35 Hours of Battery Life and Fast Charging. Dual Connection. Works great.
18.99 at time of review. 5*.
This is a perfectly good bluetooth adapter but it is only a receiver. For the same or lower price you could get an adapter that supports both receiving (i.e. for streaming music from your device to a non-bluetooth system) and transmitting (i.e. listening to music from a non-bluetooth system through bluetooth headphones).
Where this adaptor justifies its higher price is when connected in a car, where a whole set of extra functionality is available.
I hope you found this review useful.
If you have a question, I always try to respond when Amazon forwards them to me.
This adapter is a good accessory to have in a slightly older car it connects via the Aux port and once up and running works very well giving a Bluetooth connection between my car and phone. Really happy I can play my music via it aswell
Great produc
I bought this SIMOLIO Bluetooth 5.0 Receiver to connect my Android phone via bluetooth to my wired skull candy headphones in my ski helmet. No longer need to carry a 2nd device (an old ipod or old phone) just to listen to music while skiing. I also tested it with my wired Bose noise-cancelling headphones and my wired Sony over-the-ear headphones. The SIMOLIO Bluetooth 5.0 Receiver worked perfectly. I have not tested the built-in mic for hands-free call answering, but I don’t really need that functionality. Setup was very simple and button control for +/- volume and prev song/next song was intuitive.
It does not come with a charger, just a USB-C to USB-A charging cable, but I have several USB chargers from other devices that worked just fine. It has a small footprint and is very light. It comes with a 3.5mm AUX audio cable (male to male) which was necessary for my ski helmet. It also comes with a 3.5mm male-to-make connector which can be used in place of the AUX cable if necessary (e.g. connecting a car stereo). For $15 it is well worth it.
