Fiio X1 Bluetooth Adapter

I'm using this mostly as a phone headset with a Fiio bluetooth adapter, for work teleconferences, but I also use it to listen to tunes. It works far better than it should for music, and it's comfortable. Very nice.

I received the Marshall Acton III a couple of weeks ago and I'm as happy as can be. Ordering and shipping was a breeze as it always is with B&H. The Acton was ready to go out of the box. My player (Fiio) found Acton's bluetooth right away and the bluetooth connection to my Fiio was almost instant and is stable over 25 feet. I have not tried to go any further yet. If you don't have bluetooth, you are able to plug in a cable with a 3.5mm jack. (not provided) I'm playing everything from the 30's to today's music on it and yes, sometimes I need to adjust the bass due to the age/recording of the song. In general, (my opinion) the Acton III is a little more bass heavy then some other players but sounds clear and undistorted even at high volume. Adjusting the bass is easy and done via the knob on top or your music player software. It also has a knob for treble, and some other features. If you don't need to entertain the whole block, the Acton III has plenty of power for a good size backyard party. I also have a Klipsch The One II and in comparison, I would say the Klipsch sounds a little bit more balanced. Nevertheless, I have absolutely no regrets buying the Acton III and it is a perfect and cool looking addition to my back porch. Yes, it needs a power source (outlet) but that is no downside for me. I would buy it again.

This adapter is an excellent way to add an Arca-Swiss type quick-release setup to a support that doesn't have one. The skeleton structure really does cut down the weight some, versus the something like the Desmond DBA-2 (which I also have). I am using the DAC-X1 to add a QR to a universal L-bracket I have (used as a quick setup for vertical shots). One other reviewer commented about having trouble with the 1/4 bushing that comes with it. I also had the same toruble - it is the longest bushing I have ever seen (for example, much longer than the one that came with the DBA-2). It seems that Desmond is including a bushing that will not work properly with the DAC-X1 adapter. I would advise anyone who buys this to also buy a regular bushing adapter - a regular one, like you often get with tripod heads, will work perfectly.

You may want to consider a Bluetooth adapter for your headphones rather than this. They are harder to loose and more convenient.

Very useful adapter for laptop w/o Bluetooth. Easy to install, and works great.

An absolute must have for my Panasonic HC-X1.

Having a bluetooth adapter on my PC has made things so much easier. Amazing price. Works wonderful.

Purchased a Bluetooth adapter just to see what all the fuss was about ..Sent a few files to my computer.. Could have done this through Email :-) Only con i found is when I paired this with my Bluetooth headphones, my wifi connection would become choppy..

Shapes and softens the output from the Timpani 1 x1.

Was glad I went with this over the X1. Seems very intuitive.
