4.0 out of 5 stars A bluetooth stereo gateway (sink) that works, August 13, 2008

By	P. Keezer "paula_ke" (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This bluetooth stereo receiver works as advertised. Good quality sound with no pitch changes like the DC800. Pairs up fast. Only has one button and a two color LED, Truely a minimal gateway from your bluetooth source to your stereo. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because it does not come with a power supply. It runs from usb cable power and it has no battery. I had to go out and buy the right usb cable and the a wall usb wall plug to run the device. I also had to upgrade the stereo cable as the stock cable was not a high enough quality and picked up ac hum.

update: This product did not contain a charger as advertised. The device must remain on or it will lose its pairing information.

However, the basic unit is bomb proof.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works as stated, December 24, 2008

By	T. Black - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have owned this gateway for about 2 months. The gateway is used in my office to connect to my blackberry so I can listen to music without tripping over another cord. The gateway paired instantly with my BB. It is easy to use, control, and connect. The sound has been very good. I have not noticed any of the rattling or other sound distortions noted by another reviewer. As a gateway for a BB (not a high def audio solution) it is perfect. I have no complaints about ease of use, cost, set up, or audio quality and would highly recommend it to someone looking to simplify their life.

3.0 out of 5 stars It needs to be plugged in!, February 28, 2009

By	drewnamis (CA, United States) - See all my reviews

I picked this up because I wanted to have a way to connect my cell phone to my car radio, but you need to have it always plugged into a usb source. I figured that it "charged" like a cell phone, but no it doesn't. However, the audio quality is impressive; I got it to pair with both my Sprint Touch Pro, and my MacBook.
