Bluetooth Receiver/Car Kit, Bluebyte Clip Wireless Audio Receiver for Headphones car Audio,Wireless Adapter Support Hands-Free Calling,Bluetooth 5.0 Low Latency for Music(Glossy Black).

So this solved a dumb problem I had been having with earbuds. I go through a pair of Bluetooth earbuds about one per year. Unfortunately, newer models have started removing buttons. I miss my skip forward/back buttons, and holding the volume up/down for 2 seconds to skip was frustrating me. I tried a couple of earbuds that still came with all 5 buttons (skip/volume/pause), but found battery life was lacking and the signal strength was weak, not to mention the less than perfect sound. This thing solves all of that. The battery lasts a long time, Bluetooth stays connected even thru exterior walls of my house, and it has all 5 buttons! I plug cheap corded earbuds in when I want to listen, but I also plug a cord in from my DJ mixer and can easily add music from my phone when I am working. I can't recommend it enough. It works perfectly.

I absolutely love this little Bluetooth receiver! As a huge audio nerd, I can’t stand being tied down to Bluetooth-specific headphones. In fact, I use a Sony phone just for the headphone jack. Initially, I’d run with my giant headphones and phone stuffed in my pocket, but as my training got more intense, that setup became impractical. Now, I rock this compact beauty paired with Koss Portapros, all connected to my Garmin watch. It’s fabulous! The buttons are easy to navigate while on the go, though I occasionally slip into the play/pause button—an easy fix, but a bit annoying. The battery life is impressive, and I’ve only had a few low-battery alerts. I remember one run when the charming British voice announced, "low battery" for 15-20 minutes. While I appreciated the heads-up, it cut over my audio every 30 seconds, driving me up the wall. Yet, I still put up with it because I absolutely need my music and running guidance! Overall, this little device is a game-changer for anyone looking to keep their audio options open without being limited by Bluetooth headphones.

Good for what it does, but actual battery time/usage time is NOT the 10 hours as advertised. The box, and the product manual states 5 hours music, and 6 hours talk time, with 150 hours on standby. ACTUAL usage time (for music) is between 5-6 hours. Product does work well, with easy-access buttons, clean crisp well-balanced HD sound, and no noticeable audio lag when viewing videos, movies and shows, or while gaming. I use this to turn my favorite corded earbuds/headphones into Bluetooth wireless so that I don't have to take off my earbuds/headphones every time I need to get up for something. You simply plug the earbuds/headphones audio jack into this device and clip the device to your shirt or put in a pocket (or if you have a flat-cable headphones, it can clip to the flat cable, as shown in photo). It is small and lightweight, and charges easily with a micro usb cable. I went with this because I could not find comfortable Bluetooth headphones/earbuds at this price-point, and this allows me to use any of my comfortable wired earbuds or headphones that I currently own.

I bought both to test them out the APEKX is USB-C that's a plus, and the connection tone is nice too, BUT it sucks because it only does SBC mode low quality Bluetooth audio, and the volume up and down are faulty and not continuous. The clone is much better also USB-C does SBC and ACC, volume buttons work real good but the connection voice is lil annoying. APEKX is going back, and im keeping the clone. The best one and no longer made was the one that had CSR APTx for low latency low lag had the best, the battery sucks in those after little use and its also only micro-usb but it was a QUALCOMM's chip and i still use them after 5yrs i own 4 of them one for each vehicle, since the batteries suck their always have to to be plugged in for power

Background: I listen to music at the gym for 45-120min, 6 days a week. I bought a Vaas Morph (probably a brand you've never heard of) shaped exactly like this 4.5 years ago because I got sick of having my iPhone strapped to my upper arm, and my gym bag is always somewhat nearby. I liked it so much that I bought a 2nd so I could carry both and then swap between the two when a battery died. Fast forward 2 years and one of them died. I tried to find another to no avail. I bought an Avantree Clipper and a Noisehush that is once again shaped just like these. The Clipper sounded far and away better than any of the ones shaped like this, but it was rather delicate and the clip broke within 6 months, followed by the whole thing exploding (possibly a weight dropped on it) a month or so later. The noisehush just stopped working last week. So I figured I'd try one of these. Looking at the listing it's not initially apparent that the black one of these differs not only in color, but also the "guts." It has a better BT chip (one that supports AAC, which is kinda rare) and a slightly larger battery. Now, I've only had this for a week, so I have no idea about longevity. If/when this dies I'll update the review to reflect that - assuming it's still available. But for now, just know that its initial charge has lasted a week (roughly 8.5 hours) thus far (more than any of my other ones last) and its sound is at least on par with the Clipper, if not better. (Meaning it's the best one of these I've ever used as far as sound quality goes.) Now, it's no W1/Airpod experience when it comes to BT connectivity. If I wander more than 20ft from my bag containing my iPhone X (in a VERY electronically noisy environment with LOTS of people using BT headsets) it will stutter - frankly worse than some of the other ones I've used - and takes longer to re-connect and start playing again. But once I'm back within 10 ft or so, it's been rock solid. Also, it seems to have an issue between songs slightly cutting off the first second or so. I don't know why that is, but it does tend to happen. I've grown used to it now however. Regardless, chances are good I will buy another one of these if this holds up for another month or so (or sooner if my old Morph dies sooner.) It just sounds soooo much better than the others. Other tidbits: The headphone jack is on the opposite side from the other 3 shaped like this that I've owned. Just something to adapt to I suppose. I've used the older ones with 2 different sets of Skullcandy Fix headphones, both of which have since died. My current set is a Westone Beta (High Adventure.) I prefer this setup to the now-pervasive behind the neck all-in-one BT headphones. Specifically the cable bothers me on squats and bench. Edit (Dec 2019): I bought a 2nd one of these shortly after I wrote the above (partially because it went on sale.) So I've been using both (in rotation so one is always fully charged) since then. I am clearly not overly careful with my gym bag because I broke one of these at some point. It's still fully functional as I just broke the bottom 1/3 of one of the clips. This means it simply doesn't stay clipped to my shirt as well and I have to be a bit more careful with its placement as the edges are sharp. But honestly I don't think about it much. I now store them in a hard case when I'm not using them to hopefully prevent further damage like this. At this point battery life still seems to be what I would hope for. Sound is the same as well. I will say that the low battery warning and the point where it powers off tend to be identical - meaning it just shuts off with no warning. I'm not sure if that's better or worse than the loud annoying beeps that would go off for 5+ minutes before shutoff that other brands tended to have. It's just different. But honestly, beyond that, zero complaints. The things just blend into the background of my workouts - which is exactly what I want. Even if they died tomorrow I'd consider it money well spent and buy two more.
