Bluetooth Audio Receiver Xiaomi Review

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great little Bluetooth adapter to connect to my audio system. Although my receiver has built-in Bluetooth, it is very finicky to connect to. This unit solved the problem. I like that it has an optical cable connector to make the connection to my receiver.

I use the Aluratek ABC02F Universal Bluetooth Audio Receiver and Transmitter connected to the Optical Audio output on my Sony TV. It pairs with a set of Sony Bluetooth earbuds to provide a separate channel for audio for my aging ears while the TV's audio continues to function independently for the rest of the family. The optical connection to the TV was simple and the ABC02F paired quickly and easily to the Sony Earbuds. The ABC02F is plugged into a USB port on the TV and is always on so the earbuds are reconnected within the time it takes to remove them from their charger/case and insert them into the ear.

I was using an inexpensive receiver and did not know I was missing so much in the Audio Spectrum. Now everything is top notch! The answer to my Bluetooth Problems.

Interface is simple and basic. Advanced settings are not available in the OSD so you have to use the receiver's. Audio over Bluetooth is good but is not recommended if you care about sound quality (default codec is SBC, AAC if you pair from the phone directly) . You can manually config your audio setup but configurations are not that advanced. Build quality is excellent, didn't expect the price.

I used this box to interface an on-stage Bluetooth audio receiver to the sound system at a week-long conference. It worked great and didn't have any issues!

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.

Very good Bluetooth receiver.

Great sounding receiver ....AWESOME with my Bluetooth

I bought this receiver for the Bluetooth connectivity. I am now able to play my iTunes songs from the iTunes cloud through my iPhone and the new Receiver to our inside and / or outside speakers - all from my lounge chair. I am handicapped, so this is of great help to me.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently received a new compact audio receiver to try out at home. Here is now my review of the Pyle Home PTA24BT audio source amplifier. This device is quite compact in size. Although I have to say, the audio was great! You need to provide your own speakers though. This amplifier contains modern features such as Bluetooth Connectivity, for wireless music streaming, so that you can play content from your smartphone, or your computer. The device has multiple inputs, such as MP3 player, USB, micro SD connections. It also has a built-in Radio, though it’s FM only. There is one particular function that can be very useful. The “Talk-Over Function”. This is where you can activate the MIC talk-over function to temporarily pause the audio so you can make announcements or get people’s attention. I can see a lot of equalization controls, which is expected in these kind of devices. When I look at how the device actually looks, I wonder, is this something pleasing to see? I think so, the design is stylish, it’s sleek and minimalist, it would blend well in the background of a living room, an office, or entertainment area. Now, how does it actually sound? Well it is powerful in its output. It is 250-watt, so that is impressive, for the size. It’s important to notice that this receiver is “Karaoke Ready”, if you get a microphone (standard connection) you will take advantage of this. To finalize my review, I’ll say that this amplifier is reliable, and it has powerful performance. I have already chosen what area of my house it will be utilized.
