a Bluetooth adapter for the price of a
0:01
sandwich let's have a look Dave Taylor
0:11
here and I'm looking at this this tiny
0:13
little guy is the nough lacks a
0:15
bluetooth receiver and it's really nice
0:17
it's a really simple device and what it
0:19
does is it gives you Bluetooth
0:21
capabilities for devices that don't
0:24
normally have them for example your car
0:26
for example wired headphones that you
0:29
really wish you could use wirelessly now
0:31
I'm not recommending you chop the wire
0:33
off but you can plug this in and now you
0:36
don't have to be actually connected to
0:38
the music source as long as it can send
0:40
in bluetooth we're gonna actually also
0:43
have this JBL pulse 3 speaker now this
0:47
actually has bluetooth but we're gonna
0:49
sidestep its bluetooth and use this
0:51
instead so this is a nicely designed
0:54
little unit and what I like about it is
0:56
that it's actually made out of aluminum
0:57
it's not made out of plastic a lot of
0:59
these are plastic this one actually has
1:01
a much better feel to it and on one side
1:05
you can see here that it has the micro
1:08
USB in for charging we'll get back to
1:11
charging in a second it has a slider for
1:13
on/off what a win I really like when you
1:16
can't accidentally turn a unit on that's
1:19
a good design and then it has the micro
1:21
SD or TF card so you can actually put
1:24
content onto a micro SD card put it in
1:27
this unit and then use this without even
1:30
having a bluetooth source and then this
1:31
becomes the source you can put up to 32
1:34
gig on a 32 gig SD card micro SD card
1:39
into this and that works out great
1:40
because that's a ton of music or a lot
1:43
of audiobooks so take this with and you
1:46
are ready to rock and roll even if you
1:47
don't have a phone even if you don't
1:49
have anything other than a pair of
1:50
headphones you can use this to listen to
1:53
audiobooks whatever then on the front it
1:55
has volume up and down and then it has a
1:58
multi-function button and that button
1:59
gives you pause and play if it's music
2:03
or you can answer or hang up a phone
2:05
call so yeah you can take phone calls
2:07
with this too because I don't know where
2:09
but somewhere hidden in here is
2:11
apparently some sort of a
2:13
so you can use this with a device that
2:16
gives you actual audio out that's pretty
2:19
important and then you could use this
2:21
for phone calls so it gives you
2:23
hands-free in your car though
2:25
I would test that before being really
2:27
confident it's gonna sound good because
2:29
cars are noisy environments but on the
2:31
other side line out and it comes with
2:33
this really slick little 3.5 millimeter
2:36
to 3.5 millimeter adapter but enough
2:39
talk let's actually turn this thing on
2:41
and I'm gonna go on to my phone loops
2:45
I'm gonna go onto my phone and it'll
2:46
automatically actually pair because it's
2:50
seen it before let's see so it looks
2:53
like it's connected and it is hopefully
2:57
flashing to tell me that it's live and
3:00
let's go ahead and well we'll start by
3:02
just trying it with headphones so here I
3:05
have these handy what are these buyer
3:07
dynamics and I'm just going to put them
3:09
on and I have this and I have my phone
3:13
connected to it so we're just gonna go
3:15
and I'm gonna push play and very nice so
3:19
I have music and this is why it's loud
3:24
actually this is all I've done to take
3:26
these regular old wired headphones and
3:29
turn them into bluetooth headphones
3:30
again you still have the wire but just
3:32
tuck this in your pocket you're good to
3:34
go but that's less exciting for you I
3:38
know you can't hear what's on my
3:39
headphones
3:40
so let's actually plug this in to the
3:43
JBL unit and with any luck this will
3:47
work - there we go and so now this is
3:52
super easy because you can see it's just
3:54
plugged right into the back and I can
3:56
actually use the volume controls on this
3:58
but it's bluetooth so
4:01
I could do that doesn't seem to be
4:05
working but I can also adjust it on my
4:07
phone so it's pretty loud
4:10
[Music]
4:14
so we'll pause that that is pretty loud
4:18
so little disappointed that it doesn't
4:21
actually transfer the volume controls
4:23
off of the device but that's because
4:25
it's really a pretty simple little unit
4:28
it's just designed to push out audio
4:30
it's not really looking for the unit
4:32
it's plugged into to give it any data so
4:35
it doesn't really understand that this
4:37
speaker actually has volume control so
4:39
it goes not a huge crisis when this has
4:42
volume control and then of course your
4:44
Bluetooth source has volume control too
4:46
so I kind of say I really like it has a
4:50
nice range I find that in my
4:52
experimentation it hasn't had any issues
4:55
with interruptions or static or you know
4:58
sometimes you get the signal gets weak
4:59
or seems to break down a bit this does
5:02
pretty well and I've had my phone 15 20
5:04
feet away and even behind a wall still
5:07
works fine you know could you have your
5:10
phone just inside the house on a
5:12
windowsill and have this outside and be
5:14
able to be listening to music with this
5:16
is the Bluetooth receiver yes that'll
5:19
work fine can you be a quarter-mile away
5:21
no of course come on it's bluetooth
5:24
bluetooth does not work that far maybe
5:26
someday but boy imagine if that's the
5:29
case when you go to pair something with
5:31
bluetooth imagine how many devices are
5:32
gonna show up it's gonna be crazy but
5:35
let's stay focused on the here and now
5:37
so this is the no lacks a bluetooth
5:40
receiver and let me tell you a little
5:41
bit more about it so number one it has a
5:44
400 milliamp battery in it which is
5:46
pretty modest but it doesn't need much
5:48
power so that gives you 18 hours of
5:51
playtime or a couple of hundred hours of
5:53
standby time as with any device if
5:55
you're gonna leave it off for a long
5:57
period of time and then you want to use
5:59
it it's probably not a bad idea to
6:01
charge it real quick beforehand so if
6:03
you have that option
6:05
that's great as I said it's a aluminum
6:08
stainless sort of finish very attractive
6:11
has a nice feel to it's incredibly light
6:13
it feels basically about as heavy as
6:15
maybe a full book of matches it's really
6:19
light and there is some visual
6:22
indication on the multifunction switch
6:24
of what mode you're in and
6:26
it's trying to pair or not really like
6:29
the sliding on/off switch it does come
6:32
with a 3.5 millimeter mini adapter but
6:34
of course if you have a longer aux cord
6:36
that'll work just fine too and as I
6:39
showed with the headphones though I
6:41
recognize you couldn't hear it that
6:43
worked fine too so super easy if you
6:45
have favorite headphones in which they
6:47
worked wirelessly this solves that
6:49
problem finally it also comes with super
6:53
exciting micro USB cord how many of
6:56
those do we have now
6:58
anyway so that's really all I have to
7:01
say about this but hey you are
7:03
appreciative of this video hope
7:05
hopefully this is fun and interesting
7:07
