Belkin Hd Bluetooth Music Receiver Review

I bought this B1 Bluetooth Music Receiver for my Audioengine A5+ speakers. Streaming music from my iPhone 6 works seamlessly, was simple to set up, and streams in high quality. I am very happy with this device. It is worth the extra money for sure.

I was looking for a Bluetooth device to play music from my Ipod and Ipad to my older Denon receiver. After looking at the reviews, I picked this one even though it was pricey than others I have looked at. When it arrived, it was well packaged, came with a usb power supply , usb cable, gold plated audio cables and a cloth bag to store the unit. Even though it has a optical digital output, No optical cable was included. I had this for about 3 months now and I can say that I'm really impressed with it and wouldn't hesitate to buy any of their products. I would recommend this to anybody looking for a high quality Bluetooth receiver.

Nice receiver, the Bluetooth works great. I stream radio through my phone and music from an mp3 player. The only minor dislike is the volume nob doesn't turn freely, it's got resistance.

enables me to send my Apple Music from my phone to my older stereo receiver which is pre Bluetooth.

I bought this about a month ago to replace a 34 year old (!) Sony Stereo receiver. The old one had AM-FM receiver capability. This one only has FM Receiver built-in, but it sounds a lot cleaner than the older model. This one has fewer output jacks than my older one, but is more than adequate for my setup (Sony Stereo Cassette Deck - going on 20 years now also !), and a bluetooth Audio-Technica Record Player. This model also contains the regular size headphone jack AND a standard audio output jack on the front for older style cassette players, walkman's, etc. Very unusual feature but useful for me as I still use some of that older gear from time to time. I primarily bought and use this product for its bluetooth capability which works excellently. I have my phone, and computer able to play music to it through bluetooth. I realize bluetooth specs don't carry the full frequency range for a lot of audio musical pieces (such as classical music), but for the everyday average pop music it's just fine. This is a great entry level unit for a person who is not an audio-phile. I also bought this because of Sony durability in its products. This thing is built like a brick. Good design accents, solid metal frame, heavy duty components. I will always buy Sony products - good balance between cost, design, and functionality. Couldn't be happier with this product.

The 5V iFi Power is powering my bluetooth receiver for my vintage amp. Music streamed from my iphone now has an expanded sound stage and a lower noise floor. Sounds great.

Very good Bluetooth receiver.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Belkin Soundform Connect adapter is a nice little tool to convert a non wifi, non airplay device into one that you can stream music over via your phone or other device.  I have an old receiver and amp wired to older but very high quality speakers throughout my house.  Previously I would just play the radio or CDs, which of course no one does anymore!  So I got the Belkin Airplay 2 device and now my older system is so much better!  I simply plugged the Airplay device into my receiver using the digital optical out, which is a great feature not found on many devices like this. Note...the optical cable is not included. I like the small size and quality, and have always been pleased with Belkin products, and would recommend. 

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Belkin adapter is a great alternative to Bluetooth, and for good audio systems, the quality improvement of the Belkin AirPlay2 is clearly noticeable for any genre with wide frequency ranges, nuanced sound stage, and high dynamic ranges. Particularly with my 300B equipped tube amplifier and full-size speakers, this adapter does not suffer from Bluetooth compression that otherwise requires well-implemented DSP algorithms on the receiving end to mitigate...and that can be hit-or miss. The Belkin adapter is a hit.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Belkin True Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds deliver surprisingly rich bass on most types of music, including rock, heavy metal, and even jazz. Plus, they look great and fit comfortably in the ears. The 4-5 hours of playtime (20 hours in the case) is about standard for earbuds, but that's still more listening time than you will need for most situations. The sound quality is not as solid as my Bose headphones, of course, but they're far more convenient to take outside the house. Best brand ever!!!
