What got my attention was the bolting on of the V-Moda saying that this unit was made for it. It isn't. It just works with any headphone with the same connection, but adding V-Moda made me feel that it might sound good.
I was surprised to receive this in just a plastic bag and no packaging or instructions. I checked on Amazon and the instructions have been written out in the description box online instead. So if you don't know a great deal about these devices, they are under the item description on line.
I feel that this receiver is in the middle to lower tier as far as quality goes. It is cheap at £19.99 so could be a cheap alternative to a good Bluetooth headphone or iem. I also have those Sony Bluetooth headphones which are very expensive and a Soundmagic Bluetooth earbud. Both out perform this device with ease. To be honest, I expected that since this is a cheap device but it has two crucial problems unfortunately.
It hangs from your earpiece and I could connect into any headphone with the same plug configuration, so it works with the V-Moda as advertised as well as the Sony A1 and Audio Technica MSR7. The idea of having a portable MSR7 with Bluetooth was very appealing until I found out just how well these headphones pick out faults in the sound chain.
Connection is dead easy and I managed connections to an IPod Touch, an IPad and a Fiio X1 v2. The Fiio connection is dreadful. Works for about six feet but that's the Fiio unit, not the connector. Well, not entirely.
Sound is fine except for very low radio noise which the MSR7 picked out easily. So better headphones are a no no with this device.
I was a bit puzzled by the Fiio only working properly for such a short distance before going intermittent but this was fixed by swapping to the Touch. Better connection but still that radio buzz down very low. It doesn't alter with volume so if you listen at low levels, it becomes more obvious.
The communication distance isn't as good as other devices that I have. This one seems a little insensitive to be honest and the Touch worked just about OK. Swapping to my Sony Bluetooth headphone, I can walk down the garden with the unit indoors. With this, I get to the back door and it starts losing connection; making and breaking. If you keep the player with you though, you'd be fine.
So if you limit yourself to cheaper headphones so that you don't hear its noise so easily, turn up loud and keep the unit with you, it's fine.
I have to remember that it's cheap, but I'm going back to my Soundmagic earbuds. Better connection, less noise, better sound too. But then it costs three times as much.
You pays yer money and makes yer choice I guess.
IMO, those SoundPeat Bluetooth iem's are better!! (And cheaper)
