The tiny GET has been an impressive performer. From my Sennheiser Momentum Wireless and Audeze LCD-X Headphones, sound has been truly powerful and glorious. Apt-X BT performance has also been flawless, better than what I had originally expected, with now dropouts. BT performance is better than when the Momentum was used in the wireless mode. BT audio quality is much improved from that directly out of my iPods and Hidizs music players. Highly recommend this tiny headphone amplifier.
I wouldn't call this a hi-fi headphone amplifier as it has a noise to the amp which is there rather you are charging it or not. I bought this hoping `hi-fi` meant no noise in the amplifier as I am a hi-fi audio fan, however it was very disappointing. I ended up buying a FiiO Bluetooth Receiver which ended up being WAY better than anything else I tried. I highly recommend the FiiO BTR line for anyone looking for a Hi-Fi bluetooth audio amp.
Total piece of garbage... Bad quality... Dont know why anyone might give a good review on this... Huge distortion...sound quality is bad through the bluetooth... Yes it makes the noise level higher but whats that worth if the quality of the sound is bad
For the price I paid of $130 it should be way better. The power on button is too big and too sensitive. More than one time have I put the device in my pocket while not using it, only to find out it had turned on by virtue of me just moving around. That’s not great design in my opinion. It paired well with my phone and subsequently I would connect to it easily as instantly. The range is middling to poor. Just carrying my phone on my back pocket would cause the device to stutter and the audio would go away entirely and come back only when I moved my phone to the front. The playback quality was good and it can play quite loud. Also, battery life is pretty good. I still haven’t used it when making phone calls, so I cannot speak as to voice quality during a call. However, for the price, I feel that the range should be far better than it is, and that it would be better designed so that daily activities don’t power on the device when you did not intend it. If this thing was half the price, I’d be okay with these shortcomings. But for $130, it should be way better than this.
This Amp/Bluetooth device has brought my shure se535’s to life! The Bluetooth signal is way stronger then either my shure or Weston solutions. And the only one able to stream ACC. Connects reliably and fast. No drop outs so far. I’ve had it for a few months. If your monitors are sensitive you’ll want the Low impedance adapter. The only complaint I have is there is no feedback on battery charge remaining. This could possibly be fixed with a future firmware upgrade. The mic is very effective for calls. I love thing!
It's very small and works great. Sound is really good when using aptX HD and loud. When this device was first released, it was selling for over $100 but this was over two years ago. Back then it was worth it because there were very few devices like it that supported aptX HD. Nowadays there are better alternatives but this model is still smaller than other devices which means I could clip it directly onto my headphones without the need to put it into my shirt or pants pocket.

I hopped on the GET bandwagon while in the startup phase. I have not been disappointed in the least. The GET gets amazing battery life and is compatible with every pair of headphones I've thrown at it. From Beats Pro, to RHA and beyond. I even use it to pump music into the auxiliary audio input on my work van that doesn't have Bluetooth connectivity. Worth every penny that I spent on it, and more.
One month update: I stand by my previous statements in construction and use of this product. However the hiss others have reviewed has become noticeable for me at low volume. While apparently there are ways to mitigate this I feel it should not be necessary to do this for a product whose primary purpose is sound quality.
I have since tried another product and while I am not as happy with the construction it does perform as well as the Get with no hiss.
The device is solid and well constructed. It is small enough to fit in any pocket or clip to yourself with the included clip. The clip is removable if you prefer a sleeker unit that fit more comfortably in the pocket. Pairing was simple. The three-button control system works well.
I would have preferred the volume wheel to be a little less sensitive and perhaps an "infinite" wheel instead of having a hard high/low position.
I have used the GET in the quiet of the night, during lunch in a busy food court, and also while riding my lawn power. I have never had a drop in signal. Although my phone was never more than 10 ft. in my typical uses. The battery last as advertised and charges reasonably quick from a proper source.
I'll preface this by saying I am not an audiophile. I know what sounds good to me though. And I have built a collection of several earphones/earbuds that I enjoy the sound from. After moving to a phone with no audio jack, I grew tired of the dongle. And as long as I was going to need to remember another accessory I figured why not make them all wireless with a Bluetooth adapter.
I do notice a difference in listening to my earphones through my apple made dongle and the GET. It sounds better and more rich to me. Again I am no expert, but the sounds are more full and seem to take up more virtual space in my head when listening if that makes any sense.
