Man, apreciate your work, you covered all types of bluetooth audio devices.

[@breakerbroke23]

Thank you:)

[@michaelb2685]

Very informative video...Thanks for putting this information out there.

[@evandickinson6393]

Thank you so much for this! At my work I provide AV solutions for corporate/internal events....and as the smartphone makers move away from a 3.5mm jack I'm looking for a robust bluetooth receiver so clients can still bump their cocktail hour playlists through our system. With some of the knowledgeable you've bestowed i've sent a nice list of possible units to my boss for approval. One thing I really appreciate in the majority of these models is the inclusion of RCA, it makes it much easier to run directly into our soundboard, or even through a DA first (converting to XLR). Gonna see what else your channel has to offer, I really appreciate your POV and commentary

[@breakerbroke23]

If you wouldn't mind, could you let me know what device corporate decided to buy and how it is being used. Thank You.

[@Mac_Daffy]

So great finding someone on the internet that is so much into bluetooth. This helped a lot, thanks!

[@breakerbroke23]

Thank you very much :)

[@rolandgarcia7886]

Hey nice to see someone covering this topic . I have the blu that same one you have with Aptx-HD I grabbed the other 1 recently with LDAC. I'm looking into another one 5.3 LC3 Bluetooth codec.

[@christophersteer505]

Very enlightening, and very well presented, thankyou, RS London Boy.

[@AudioElectronicsChicago]

I like the red one at the end of the video, not sure how good it operates comported to the others but it looks cool and different

[@breakerbroke23]

I like the "little red box" It works well. Thanks for your support.

[@capitanlevi203]

Can I connect the fiio BTA30 pro to a speaker from the RCA output to a 3.5 input speaker with the appropriate cable?

[@TemperTemper...]

I have an audioengine B1 and couldn't be happier..Better than CD sound is what my ears tell me.

[@deputy3690]

Another informative video! Can you tell me if the built in DAC inside the ifi zen v2 is as good as a Schiit Modi external DAC?

[@breakerbroke23]

They do not sound exactly the same but the iFi is killer:)

[@rolandgarcia7886]

My 2021 LG smart TV comes with Aptx-LL and can do Bluetooth surround

[@justincredible4894]

I’m looking at getting a receiver and transmitter. What are a few current options?

[@Khadjs1804]

Is there a Bluetooth device that can transmit and receive signals at the same time (full duplex)? Here is the scenario, I have a Bluetooth headset with a mic and need to connect to my analog audio mixer wirelessly. I want to hear (monitor) the audio and at the same time I want to connect the mic to one of the channels. TIA

[@erosbey590]

Need ur help big time please anyone :)))) I have an Mac Mini 2014 that runs 4.0 bluetooth ,, Got 5 Bluetooth speaks { Amazon Alexis) when i connect the 5 Alexis as a multi group using on mac mini to listen to my music on iTunes the sound gets distorted , because they cant reach each other and that i got to much distribution im guessing :( ,,,,, basically what can i do or add to make my mac mini bluetooth give out more increased power to 5 bluetooth devices ... i need to cover 150-200 ft and some wall are thick :( ... any recommendations anything :))??? thank you soooo much for your time

[@alxdukextars2620]

excellent channel! I love vintage audio. I'm about to upgrade my bluetooth! (You have many devices) I think I will buy Avantree it seems solid and of quality. I have a Taotronic, but I have seen this brand removed from the Amazon store for lying and cheating ... so now I am suspicious that it supports APTX as I was assured. I have read that many bluetooth receivers do not support APTX in RX mode. This is what matters most to me about a device like every music and audio lover

[@MayankJairaj]

Noob question but are all the USB Bluetooth adapters built the same? (If I want to power something from a pc to my bluetooth speakers) I don't even know if this is the right place to ask for them. Also does that dongle have the features like aptx hd, aptx ll, aptx tws+ or is it independent of that?

[@erikclingerman5602]

Please Help.. I have just bought a theater blue recliner this recliner connect too my iPhone 12 very easy but I have a lg smart tv and I can get it too detected it at all? What do I need too do?

[@breakerbroke23]

I have never used the recliner however I have an older LG TV. My TV can be a PIA to pair with certain devices... Try this. Turn off the chairs Bluetooth (BT) or cut power from chair, put the TV into BT pairing, turn chair on and wait for the TV to see the chair. The pairing may take up to 45 seconds.... be patient. When you see the chair on TV then click on the chair. If you get nowhere then call the chair manufactures tech support. Good luck and cheers

[@kewlbug]

From what I've read the Fiio is a very capable unit and dac. Just not as robust as the iFi it looks like.

[@bobcityrocker]

Hey BB23, a friend said "of course you can play your iPhone through your older A/V receiver, you need this and ordered it for me, an Esinkin". My question to you is would I benefit from ordering a Mypin? I'm not into using it enough to justify paying for a BluDento or anything in it's price range. But I wouldn't mind upgrading somewhat from the Esinkin. I do have toslink connection on my A/V rec if it's an upgrade from RCAs.

[@NormaNegrete]

How can I make my cordless phones bluetooth to my earpods? I purchased the WIRELESS RECEIVER AND TRANSMITTER Model DWR21 but it does not work I get the sound out but I cannot get my voice through. I can send you a picture of what I have. Thank you !

[@breakerbroke23]

Not sure what you are trying to do.

[@lindalowe8341]

I have a question concerning dryer plugs/wiring. I live in a mobile home and I bought a used dryer. My old dryer was a 2007 model. It's wired with the 4 wire but the white one that u said just ties into neutral up where u cant see it. Anyways, I took the wire with plug off my old dryer and when I went to hook it up to the one I bought (used) it has the old 3 with ground to chassis. Big Sticker warning about shock etc.. which I understand and want to avoid taking that risk. Soooo, does this require a trip to Lowes for a 4 wire kit and a new outlet too? If u have the time I would appreciate any answer. Thank u.

[@breakerbroke23]

If your home is older and does not have 4 wire wiring at the wall plug then you will have to stick to 3 wire. IMHO if you are not sure, call an Electrician. Not a Handyman

[@lindalowe8341]

@@breakerbroke23 , yeah thank you. That was one of my concerns because my double wide is an '98 and I was concerned about the wiring in the wall. I'm just a widow who just lost my son and I work but last time I called an electrician it was over $200.00. I know about electricity and I just wanted to do the right thing Plus I've been a ground for just 110 and it was NO FUN!! ( Motorhome with a screw through a wire) touched the door!! DON'T want to be one for more power!! Thanks for answering, I'll call the place I bought it on Monday and probably just hook it up the old way with the ground to the chassis of the dryer. 😜

[@breakerbroke23]

Your MH is probably new enough to have modern wiring, so if it is 4 prong wiring, I would not change if that is the case, the real chassis ground is the safest way to go. It is the 3 wire that could be potentially dangerous.

[@stanmanmedia]

Great video. Thanks!! Maybe someone can help me. I need a simple bluetooth transceiver to bluetooth full-duplex connect to my android phone so that I can make phone calls through my audio interface without physically connecting my phone to the interface, but by using the bluetooth device that I describe. So the bluetooth interface must have analog in and outs, the analog in will be sent back to the smartphone as "mic in" and the analog out will be the sound being passed from my phone to the bluetooth device back to my audio interface. I read that it must work in TDD mode, but not sure about that. Most of the whiz-bang bluetooth devices have send/receive switches, but for the sake of phone call I need it to work like an BT earbud that one uses commonly, but with ports for the phone mic and sound. BlueDriver M3 does it, but not crazy about the product. Does anyone know how to do this easily and inexpensively?

[@breakerbroke23]

IDK. If I understand correctly you would need a device that has both balanced and unbalanced in/out options as well. As far as I know, that product doesn't exist. I still don't understand what the overall intent is.

[@stanmanmedia]

@@breakerbroke23 I'm trying to get a device that simultaneously transmits and receives, duplex transceiver that has ports for external mic input and audio output that sits between my audio interface and smartphone that I Bluetooth connect to my smartphone (just like an earbud) but that allows me to tie the smartphone into my audion interface for wireless Bluetooth phone calls. I know how to do it hard wired with an attenuator, and made a video on that. I don't know why there is not a fairly inexpensive device that is seen by the smartphone as something resembling Bluetooth earbuds with mic, but the device instead of being a Bluetooth headset is a device with ports for sound and mic. I know it's easy to build, but I don't want to do it. I'd prefer to buy the device, without spending $700 for a Rode Procaster II. I have all kinds of interfaces and just need the Bluetooth adapter that does that one function in the Ride Podcaster II. Hate spending that much for one little function.

[@user-lk1rf1fe5x]

As a result, which DAC in your opinion is better in sound: SMSL SA300 or iFi Audio Zen Blue V2??? Both have 2RCA output. Many thanks!

[@breakerbroke23]

The SMSL is a whole different device, because it has a amplifier built in. Have not done a A&B comp with these two devices. I would "assume" the Zen would be better because it was engineered to be a Hi End BT receiver. The SMSL I would think put their energy towards being a stereo amp with BT. I do very much like my Zen(s). Cheers.

[@user-lk1rf1fe5x]

@@breakerbroke23 Thank you very much!

[@hrbarrow]

Nice video. I'm looking for something that must be out there. I want to connect a Bluetooth headset with a microphone to an intercom tupe system that has open comms. Two people can talk one on a Bluetooth headset connected to a Bluetooth sender receiver. The sender receiver is connected by a jack to the intercom box and the other person has a wired connection to his earphones and microphone.

[@breakerbroke23]

IDK of a system that will do what you want, maybe look at a wireless mic system and adapt to that. www.samsontech.com/samson/products/wireless-systems/stage-series/

[@GeorgeWPush]

Which device is best for car audio? I want to transmit directly to my car amp from my cellphone. It has to power on automatically with my cig lighter's 5V. It will be hiding in the back with my amp so I dont want to power it on/off everytime. You said you used the Fiio in your car but why not one of the higher end units?

[@breakerbroke23]

I use the Fiio because it has a volume control (pre out) the sound is just fine. If you used a IfI zen or BluDento type receiver you would need to have a head unit to control the volume as the RCA outputs are fixed voltage and I do not trust having something like that hooked up. IF something goes wrong you run the risk of blowing your speakers at best. IMHO I would get a GOOD head unit with an RCA INPUT like the Alpine I'm using, you will have tone adjustments and a volume control. ( Do not get a deck with the AUX input (3.5mm) it is the wrong impedance and input level. It must be RCA or pre amp level, then you could use a Ifi zen or BluDento (BLT-HD). Good luck my friend. Cheers

[@GeorgeWPush]

@@breakerbroke23 I'm trying to decide if I need a headunit or not so this info helps thank you! I want to run just a tablet/phone to bluetooth audio to bt receiver then to amp. But I also like the benefits of a real headunit. What should I look for in a good headunit? Output over how many amps? "IMHO I would get a GOOD head unit with an RCA INPUT like the Alpine I'm using" Do you mean RCA Output because its outputting to the amp?

[@breakerbroke23]

@@GeorgeWPush I use a head unit like this www.ebay.com/itm/125407795340?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-213727-13078-0&mkcid=2&itemid=125407795340&targetid=4580496732614416&device=c&mktype=&googleloc=&poi=&campaignid=418233788&mkgroupid=1230353745471221&rlsatarget=pla-4580496732614416&abcId=9300542&merchantid=51291&msclkid=258d496bff001f15949f2a7316eb8857 (not this exact one, look for one in better condition) On the back of the Alpine you will see a blue connector, that is for audio input from like a CD changer or Ipod or mobile video and they sell a RCA adapter. amzn.to/3qjrzqB Plug your BluDento into this plug and it will play through the Alpine correctly, proper gain levels. Do not get the POS connector that already has a BT receiver on it. They are junk for sure.

[@Povilaswildlife]

My dsp have USB but how powered ifi blue mh

[@sasamiljkovic9361]

Hi.what bluetooth to by i allredy hav a dac

[@breakerbroke23]

Any of these devices will do well. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3ykaZuLfK1npMU

[@pequodexpress]

I understand that transmitting means sending out the signal to bluetooth speakers and headphones that can receive the signal, but why would the unit need to receive a bluetooth signal?

[@breakerbroke23]

So you can stream music from a portable device and listen through your stereo system .

[@sarvajithprabaharan1354]

please provide the installed video by fiio on truck.

[@breakerbroke23]

Okay, I will ASAP

[@tasotse]

fiio bta30 or ifi zen blue 2?

[@breakerbroke23]

For receiver only the Zen hands down. The FiiO is a great dual purpose device, you would have to have both units hooked up at the same time and A&B compare them (I have) to tell any difference. The FiiO is close to the Zen in RX mode. Hope this helps.

[@tasotse]

@@breakerbroke23 if it is better sounding i will go for the ifi zen then.thanks for the answer!

[@SuspiciousPixels]

1Mii B03Pro+ or FiiO BTA30 Pro?

[@breakerbroke23]

BTA-30 pro for the win, 1mii overall quality no so good. IMHO

[@umidikim]

I would say I like fiio device, but ifi seems to be on everyone's lips nowadays.

[@saintly_guy]

Add the word DAC in the title

[@breakerbroke23]

ALL BT devices with RCA out are DACs. EDIT..... this includes 3.5mm out as well.
