I know the title of my review sounds a little over the top, but its totally true. I got this item because I was a bit frustrated that the Nook Color didn't have an activated bluetooth ability. The hardware appears to be there, but it was added because in mass production its cheaper for them to have purchased a wireless chip that had both wireless and bluetooth, than it would have been to get one with just wireless. So they got that chip, and did nothing with it. That is one reason the Nookcolor won't get 5 stars from me. NookTablet repeated the mistake despite people wanting bluetooth, so in my opinion they would get perhaps 3 stars to start, but that isn't the point.
The Bluebridge mini-jack allowed me to have bluetooth audio on whatever device I wished. I also own a Sony PSP and an XMradio. At work I have begun listening to audiobooks, podcasts, talks, speeches, etc. I mean like 6-8 hours per day. I use Motorola Stereo bluetooth headphones for all this (S305). I then can watch movies on the nook without disturbing my wife while she tries to sleep, or can listen to XM radio to hear news or talkshows that other employees don't wish to listen to. I feel like time that had previously not been mine (due to work, or other restrictions i.e. quiet time), is now being spent learning and experiencing things I just didn't have time for before. In just a few weeks I feel like I have been subjected to more learning than in a year of high school, and have been kept up to date with current events, and watched movies I have been wanting to see.
I feel like I have a new life. When you think about the fact that the average person wastes 8 hrs per day at work (I unfortunately spend 12-15) that is nearly 1/3 of their life that isn't their own. Perhaps waste isn't the best word, but in this context, I simply mean to illustrate that they have given up the chance to do something of their own choice. The Bluebridge device can give you a little piece of that back. While many jobs frown on headphones, most don't have so much of an issue with bluetooth earpieces or even stereo headsets.. They are wireless after all. My Motorola S305 set actually sound better than my Sony studio headphones.
This device is convenient, portable, and can be used with anything that has an 1/8" stereo output jack. Its hard to describe in text how awesome a device this actually is. Its not just like having a walkman without wires. You can set the device down and walk away nearly 30 feet. It just gives you so many options in terms of various devices and situations in which you can use them. I may attempt a language CD next. I try to tell anyone who is interested how amazing it is, and many people do ask when they see headphones with no cord. The best thing is that its extremely inexpensive for what you get out of it. All I can say is, if you are considering it at all, make the move and you won't regret it. You will be amazed how many uses you come up with for the convenience of using this with wireless bluetooth headphones or earpieces. I stress that again just because its easy to forget just how much freedom his gives you. Bluetooth is great with phones, but thats nothing compared to using it for pleasure.
The device is durable and well constructed. The pivot of the jack allows it to be used with just about anything. The company has fantastic customer service as well! They are helpful, friendly, and stand behind their product. In the end, I love this product, and can't say enough good things about it.
