Use it as a receiver for your car,
By pa "pa" (uk) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Belkin Bluetooth Music Receiver (Electronics)
Many cars will offer you a built in bluetooth receiver facility for about 200-500 quids. Consider this: the day you sell the car, you lose the receiver. Also before adding a built in bluetooth option in your car, remember that many cars do not have a A2DP receiver, which is what you need for stereo music.So, this is a brilliant cheaper option for your car, provided your car has a 12 v output, and an auxillary input socket - most new Ford, Audi and BMW will have these features. [Some customized stereos have an auxillary/mike in option as well.] You then need a nokia car charger - small pin, and you can connect the bluetooth receiver to your car's speakers and play music through your phone/bluetooth enabled iphone etc. If your phone allows you to channel telephone conversation output to a music receiver then you can also use this as a handsfree setup for your phone. Your mounted phone will have to act as the mike. If your phone does not allow this option, then I am afraid this setup will only work as a music receiver and not work for phone calls. I will agree with other reviewers in that is a neat looking gadget, and considering the price it is a brilliant buy for the casual listener. The quality is tinny and seems to have a hollow echo as mentioned, which is why I quickly gave up using it as a home streaming device, and looked for other ways of using it. I am very satisfied with my bluetooth 'car' music receiver. I hope Belkin pays me when they take inspiration from this idea! The only genuine alternative to this product for use in a car is the motormouth [or motorman??] series of products - which will cost about 60 to 90 quids.

does what it says on the tin! But...,
This review is from: Belkin Bluetooth Music Receiver (Electronics)
...it's not perfect.If you're an audiophile you'll quickly notice the drop-off in sound quality when connected to your A\V Receiver via this kit. I bought it as a cheap solution to working around the house and having my phone handy! the range is limited to around 15ft through walls\ceilings, but it's good enough around my house to allow me to have the phone nearby, rather than on my docking station in the living room. Setup is simply a case of plugging in and pairing your device, it worked first time. Shame about the loss of fidelity.

This review is from: Belkin Bluetooth Music Receiver (Electronics)
I bought the Belkin Bluetooth Music Receiver so that I could stream music from my laptop to my speakers. I move my laptop around a lot and thought this would be useful to sit on the sofa without cables trailing to my audio unit.The device arrived quickly, and is very simple to set up. It's nice and small so can be discretely placed next to your speakers. I had it up and running within 5 minutes however I soon discovered a major problem. The signal suffers major interference from my home wifi network. So much so that it is impossible to listen to if I have the wifi enabled on my computer or have the bluetooth receiver placed near my wireless router (also Belkin). I wanted to stream music from the internet to my speakers but this is completely impossible because of the interference. In short, this device will work well but not if there is other non-bluetooth wireless products in the room. I think that most people now have wireless in their homes whether it comes from them or their neighbours. Therefore I only gave this product three stars. I have since researched the interference and found that Bluetooth is known to heavily interfere with wireless networks. It's a pity I didn't research more beforehand.
