GOgroove BlueGATE Portable Bluetooth Receiver 3.5mm AUX Wireless Audio Adapter with 14 Hour Music Streaming for Wired Stereo Speaker Sound Systems, Phones, Tablets, Aux Bluetooth Adapter for Car

the thing that cough my eye for this BT Receiver was the price and the size, I've had it for a couple of weeks and its working properly and as intended. . .i just want to point out one thing, i read in some reviews that this BT Receiver had to be paired every single time you turn it ON, i have to say that it is not true,To pair the device for the first time you have to press the power button for 7 seconds until you see the blue and red lights blinking, then you can head to your device Bluetooth settings (i've used it with an Ipod Touch 4g, Samsung Galaxy S3 & Windows 8 PC) it should appear in your options, if asked for pin just put 0000 and done.I use this BT Receiver with my Ipod Touch mostly, so after i use it, i turn the Bluetooth off on my ipod, when i want to use it again here is what i do,,,turn my Ipod's bluetooth and the BT Receiver ON, i dont have to do anything else, they pair on their own,to achieve this, you have to PRESS the power button ONLY until you see the first blue light ( press for about 5 secs) and let go of the power button. If you keep holding power you will get the BT Receiver to go into discovery mode, (blue and red blinking lights) prompting you to pair the device again,Pros;-Good Price-Small size-Easy to use-Has a good range with no obstructions-Good Battery Life (i've used it for 7 consecutive hours with battery left and more than 11 cummulative hrs)-Works while charging (will turn off after plugging it in (if On)you just have to turn it back on and let it re-pair by itself (will keep a constant red light with the flashing blue)Cons:-The building materials feel a little fragile, especially the power button and the 3.5mm cable coming out of this device which is thinner that what some would expect (about the thickness of ipod's earphones)-Losses considerable amount of communication after going through some obstacles like a door or a wall-Paired it with two PCs and with one of the them the audio had some lag about a sec or two, (really bad when watching videos, but could of been the BT on the PC that was at fault but just letting you know)-The usb cable is not a standard usb to micro/mini-usb cable, so if you lose your charging cable you may be out of luckOver alli think that this is a good purchase and good device,i have used this on my car and its excellent, also good in my house as long as i dont keep going to different roomsi would recommend it to my friends...

I have now used the receiver for several weeks and am very pleased. I bought it to supply Bluetooth audio from my Motorola Droid X2 phone to an AM/FM radio/CD player in my boat. It easily paired to the phone and worked perfectly. I also tried it in my shop to feed a different audio player and found I could get about 45 ft away before reception became a problem - although this is probably more dependent on the output of the phone rather than the receiver.I also used the receiver to feed direct to head phones. I had my phone serving as a media player sending movies via HDMI cable to a 19" TV. To keep from disturbing others I did not want to use the TV's speakers. With the phone paired to the receiver the movie's video went to the TV and the audio was sent to the receiver/headphones. The headphones DO need to have a volume control as without it the sound is very loud and needs reduction. I also had read some Bluetooth devices cause a delay in the sound that makes the audio out of sync with the video but was pleased to find it was not a problem with the Bluegate.In a related topic, because it worked so well I also purchased one of their transmitters - Bluesense TRM. It too easily paired with the receiver. In the boat I now could plug the transmitter in to my old Creative Zen MP3 player or my wife's Ipod and wirelessly send the audio to the radio. This was much more convenient than messing with the wires and we could place the MP3 players anywhere we wanted.I also tried plugging the transmitter directly in to the headphone jack on my TV when not using the phone as a player. Then used the receiver with headphones (with volume control) plugged in and it created a wireless system for listening to the audio when watching. Worked well with no sound lag - perfect audio sync.Yes, the on/off button is small but I can live with it. Yes, it would be nice if the charger cable was a std USB mirco but the included cable gets the job done. They both do auto shutoff when you forget to turn them off manually and battery life seems totally workable. Overall I am very pleased.
