Old Technology with a new look

Video at Amazon.com See Who simple, effective and relatively inexpensive retrofit old plants would with a contemporary Bluetooth adapter, with a clear conscience can on this Bluetooth adapter TaoTronics recourse. However, the subsequent application would be considered realistic and put to the test, as an all-rounder I would not call the recipient systemic.

The flexible wiring configurations (RCA Audio / 3.5mm Audio) are naturally an advantage and facilitate the application. Apart from the TT-BR02 is unimpressive, perhaps surrounded by a little too much plastic. Also 87x73mm require your place and indeed much more than for example a pure USB dongle. But the look is very calmly, at least can be the matt black rectangle so somehow block in the domestic technology park, or hide.

In direct comparison to similarly priced mounted competitors in the TaoTronics works without separate power cord, but concerns for his power over USB. Here the chaff separates the wheat and the purchase should be coordinated directly related to the local conditions. No free socket for a USB port on the device? Then here the almost perfect solution is offered. No power supply via USB in sight? Then I would personally prefer to take up a Bluetooth adapter with a separate power plug. Who will not really happy with both versions - in this TaoTronics Adapter An integrated battery is installed, which allows operation of up to eight hours. That may appear to be sufficient for mobile use, is in your own home and when permanently installed on a system, but no real added value.

Sonically, there is hardly anything to complain about, however. Music is transferred clean and trouble-free. Audible loss of quality, I can hardly find the MP3 range, just as dropouts in the long operation. Note: The adapter is not equipped with controls, ie title tracking, volume dial and Co. is on the paired device possible.

The stability of the Bluetooth connection is critically dependent on the final positioning of the adapter. Within a radius of a few meters, the transmission remains stable, even when the adapter is placed behind the plant. Eventually one end of the line is naturally attained here suffers a nice and tidy (cable) optics as often happens among the pitfalls of (receiving) technology.

Conclusion: Pretty is not the TT-BR02. But it works, convinces with a consistent price / performance ratio and a well thought out concept. Here he is, as actually detecting all adapters of its kind, as cheap plastic gadget from afar, but - to put it to describe literally - one death every user must die to push old equipment up to date.
