BT Multimedia Music Player Remote Control for Play Pause Next Prevtrack Volume Up/Down Mute Fit for Ios iphone ipad Android System Smartphone Tablet Devices Sony FiiO Player ect

I listen to a LOT of podcasts and books while driving or trying to sleep. This remote works perfectly to fully control (pause/resume/skip/rewind/mute/vol+-) the relevant apps (Pocket Casts and Audible) on my Android 15 phone. The battery lasts 2-3 months with regular use as I drive long road trips or drift to sleep (in bed, not behind the wheel) with podcasts/books in my ears. CR2032 replacement is cheap and simple with its quick-release back cover. The buttons respond quickly to a light firm touch, unlike other remotes I've tested which take about twice as much force (with mushy buttons that lag and leave me wondering whether I've pressed them, resulting in unwanted double-presses most of the time). All buttons but one map to their relevant functions as labelled (including the Home and Photo Shutter buttons). The only one which doesn't work is the phone button, but that's a net positive for me -- I don't want to wake anyone up with my snoring when I accidentally press it in the middle of the night. I'd be just as happy if they'd left that one out. Bluetooth connectivity has been flawless for me as well. It has a hardware on/off switch which I turn off sometimes when I'm not using it, but it connects instantly when I switch it back on (whichever one I happen to pick up) and never drops the connection. Even the keyring is surprisingly useful. I usually toss those when they come with things like this, but this one lets me keep the remote dangling from a finger for easy access to the skip button whenever I wake up to a loud podcast commercial in the middle of the night. Skip-skip-skip and I'm back to dreamland in minutes. I've bought three so far and will certainly buy more, to have one nearby in whatever car or room I might occupy while listening. If you've read this far you'll want several too. Keep this in mind when you need to bump your cart up to $25 for overnight delivery.

Love this Remote! It allows me to use my iPad or iPhone or any Android Tablet with this Remote. It can control Music and/or Videos. I can raise and lower the Volume. I can Pause and unpause a Song or Video. I can skip to the next Video or Song if I don’t like what’s playing. With an Apple product I can even pop up “Siri” to control other things. Please note that a lot of negative reviews on here are incorrect. Yes, sometimes a person gets a bad one. That’s to be expected. Simply get another one BEFORE you write a negative review. And then there are the know it alls who do not operate this thing properly because they don’t know an important secret that a lot of Battery operated things use to make the Battery last a long time. I have 5 of these things and believe it or not ALL of them work fine! First off let me give you info that a reviewer should put into their review. If I buy a BluRay disk I don’t care if YOU like the movie or not. I want to know things like how does the picture look like compared to the old DVD that was made in Caveman times. This Remote contains a small round CR 2032 button battery. It’s very easy to change and lasts a long time in this Remote if the Remote is used properly. That’s the key. Let Mr briefly explain what I’m talking about. Let’s say you have a TV Set. You hit the Remote button and turn it off. Is it really off. No it isn’t. It’s in what you call Standby Mode. To turn off your TV completely you would have to pull the plug out of the wall. To save electricity and to make the TV last longer and for you to be able to turn it on with a Remote the TV goes into Standby Mode when you plug it into the Wall. To make it work you click on the Remote to turn it on and then hit a Channel number to view something. This Remote has a Switch on the side of it. That connects it to Bluetooth. It’s like plugging a TV into the wall plug. Now you hit a button and it works. But it also has a Standby Mode which puts the battery to sleep so that the Battery will last days and weeks or months instead of only hours. It turns on Automatically after about 5 minutes. So let’s say you are listening to a Song, it ends and the next one comes on and you don’t want it and click on the next button. Or it’s too low a volume and you want to raise the Volume. You hit the Button and nothing happens. That means 5 minutes has passed since you last used it and it’s now in Sleep Mode to keep the Battery from dying. It now wakes from Sleep and now you hit the Button the SECOND time and it works properly! If you click a button in less than 5 minutes it’s not Sleeping and the Button works the first time you hit it. Thats why a lot of reviews say there is a connection issue. After 5 minutes they hit a button and it doesn’t work and they have to hit it again. They think it got disconnected. I hope this helps those of you who buy this item. This should be in the instructions, but it isn’t.

I use the native Podcasts app on my non-android fruit phone on the daily for my Bible study. As I take notes, I need to frequently pause to catch up because I write slower than they speak, need to add details, or want to research something. I ordered a similar product from another brand and all it was good for was adjusting the volume. I found this and it didn’t specifically say anything about the Podcasts app, but I was cautiously optimistic because it said “Multimedia” in the item name. I was THRILLED when I received it and it immediately connected to my phone and has full functionality. I am extremely pleased with this remote. It is very easy to use with obvious functions for the buttons, and doesn’t leave you guessing like similar products do. It is small and fits easily in your hand, and because it is so compact, it is easy to take on-the-go. The instruction sheet could stand to be a little bigger, but it gives more information on the buttons’ functions than similar products. I have not experienced any issues with connectivity or the battery life, and it seems to be fully compatible with my device. If I had to design this product, it would be very similar to the way it is now. Perhaps the only thing I would change is to make the metal ring an actual keychain or spring-opening metal ring so I can hang it in my bag. As it is, I will have to attach another ring to it to be able to do that. But that’s a very minor complaint and more of a preference than anything - this remote is pretty near perfect as is.

This remote does everything I need it for and does it well. Before I ordered it Amazon's disclaimer of this item experiencing frequent returns worried me. I now know why people frequently return this. I'm thinking this item may probably sit in stock awhile running the cheap battery out and I think it does save power by sleeping if unused for some time but you just have to hit any button to wake it up or turn it off then on again. Anyway after using it daily about a few weeks it started acting up. I almost gave up, ordered another, then decided to check battery voltage: 2.79V. Thats significantly lower than a new one so I cancelled the order and decided to order a pack of lithium duracells. Time will tell but I'm pretty sure the problems are gone! Instantly connects, rock solid performance unless it's sleeping. I love it and use it all day long daily. Love that it actually has an actual on off switch instead of having to do a long press on some button. If I'm wrong about the end of it misbehaving I'll update this review.

Buyer beware! Does not work for swiping/scrolling. Does not work for apps like TikTok, Reels or Shorts. Does work to play the next random/previous long format video on youtube. Volume home screen camera shutter are functional. It does not function for anything once on home screen. In my opinion this is a barely functional device.
