Wireless Car Bluetooth Aux Audio Receiver Adapter

Too old a car for Bluetooth , so aux jack needed a cable. B&H delivers…and FAST.

[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 needed a replacement CD player for my aging (and starting to fail) 5 Disc Carousel CD player that I purchased several decades ago.  After researching various models of similar build and price point I decided on the Tascam CD-200BT.  B&H Photo processed and shipped my order promptly.  After installation of this unit to my hi-fi system I can say the Tascam CD-200BT does not disappoint with its solid build quality and simplicity of operation. The audio playback performance of this unit, both in CD and Bluetooth operation, has been excellent in my evaluations so far.  The Bluetooth receiver pairs up effortlessly with the devices I have linked.  I particularly like that this unit can store in its memory up to 8 Bluetooth devices without having to redo the whole pairing process when switching back and forth with other Bluetooth devices that have been previously paired in the unit’s memory.  The fact that this model has a Bluetooth receiver was an added bonus for me as this saved the additional expense of adding a separate Bluetooth receiver to my hi-fi system that I was also planning to add.  By not needing a separate Bluetooth receiver this saves having to use another AUX input on one’s hi-fi system AND with the CD-200BT unit having its own AUX input as well this in essence adds an additional AUX input function available for one’s hi-fi system.  With Tascam’s reputation for professional grade audio products this unit should serve me well for some time.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have an older car that doesn’t have Bluetooth but only an aux outlet. I am able to use this to connect my aux cord to my phone so I can play music. This is nice for us without newer cars with Bluetooth. Also if you don’t have wireless headphones you can plug in since apple doesn’t have the connector anymore.

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.

One of the best Wireless Audio System I ever tried. The audio is very clean, even when the signal is at 70/100m. Also it doesn't lose signal when there's interference between the transmitter and the receiver, like I experienced on another brands. The case that comes with the mics will charge Wirelessly both the mics and the receiver (like the apple airpods) which honestly is one of my favourite things about the Lark 150, as a run&gun filmmaker I'm always on the move and knowing that my mics are always charged is essential for my work. The audio quality is crisp and clear and with the recent firmware update it just got even better.

I first got one of these for my laptop at work when I started having an entrapped ulnar nerve and wanted a more ergonomic workstation. At first, I tried a Microsoft bluetooth mouse which cost more and would constantly disconnect and require setting up so I did a little research and got the M310. One reason I wanted bluetooth was because the last time I bought a wireless mouse/keyboard (also from Logitech), the receiver was huge and had to be hidden. It also had very low range. To my surprise, the nano receiver with the new M310 is really small - nano if you will, but has much more range than the old style wireless mice. Just for giggles, I was trying it across the room and it still worked. I just leave the nano receiver in the USB port of my laptop all the time and it still fits in my bag. While I was going through painful cortisone injections which did little to help my gimp wrist, I was also happy to use this mouse on either left or right hand as it works both ways (giggity). It's really an elegant design. It's also very light, uses only one AA battery, and battery life is about a year. I liked it so much that now that my wrist is better due to stretching exercises I found on youtube from doctors (which may or may not be legit), I got one for my desktop workstation too which up till then had a wired mouse. It's time to evolve. I'm curious whether the receiver/mouse pairings can be updated in case one or the other is lost.

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!
