Belkin has expanded their range of Bluetooth products with a new Bluetooth Music Receiver. This cute black round gadget uses Bluetooth v2.0 to give you reliable, high-quality sound. The owners of iPod Touch, the iPhones, and any other A2DP-enabled cellphone or media player can use this Receiver for streaming music to the home stereo system, or even car system.
Recently I've came across a rather new device - Voiis Stereo, which is a wireless music gateway manufactured by Mobile Action Technology, Inc. Now I want to share with you my thoughts about this gadget.
Voiis Stereo is a two-way gateway (it operates bi-directionally), and after the first sight it reminded of Motorola DC800 that I've tested some time ago. Still, Voiis is not so clumsy!
Appearance
Well, at ones I was a little bit surprised with its size. In photo it seemed to be bigger. Though, some users complain that it is too big. But you should take into account that this gadget is intended for home usage and shouldn't be pocket-sized. With its beautiful design it will perfectly blend with the interior and add style to your room. Moreover (and very important) its size gives more technical possibilities to increase the connection stability and the range, which is stated to be 100 m.
The device has white casing, but its front side is black with Voiis logo. You will see only one Function button of the same black colour and three LEDs: one for the Music Transmit, one light for the Music Receive, and the Bluetooth indicator. On the back of the Voiis Stereo you will find a 3.5mm line-in and 3.5mm out jacks, Mini USB and Power connector. Thanks that you can manage without wall outlet.
Not so long ago the owners of older iPhones felt rather disappointed and frustrated. I'll say! Thelong awaited update for iPhone brought A2DP only for the newest Apple devices.
But now their day has come! I'm happy to introduce a brand new software called A2DP Enabler for iPhone 2G (original iPhone).
Now every iPhone owner can enjoy A2DP and use Bluetooth Stereo headsets for music listening. All you need is the original jailbroken iPhone with firmware 3.0 or better.
You can read more about A2DP Enabler in the blog of Dmytro, the creator of the thing that previously was stated to be impossible.
By the way, pay attention to the range of your headset. Since iPhone BT module has quite weak RF signal, the owners of headphones with not very wide range may hear sound dropouts and stuttering. Our tests revealed the headsets with the very good range. These are Motorola S9 and Samsung SBH100 with 11 m, and Plantronics P590 with 12 m. So please write down your impression considering the new software, and recommend your own headset (or say what headset causes problems).
A2DP Enabler is available from apt.dmytro.me repository.
