Terrible sound

April 9, 2019

Connects ok to bluetooth.. But giving connectivity only 3 stars because It's annoying to have to push a button to turn it on everytime you want to connect a device... especially if you intend to hide it somewhere like a center console. won't work for you unless you plan to open the console and activate the device every time you get in the vehicle. Other Bluetooth receiver devices out there don't require this.

Now for the major issue... sound quality is a joke. It's muffled, distorted and sounds like a static overlay. Its not something I can tolerate..

Amazing product

December 8, 2018

Color: BlackVerified Purchase

I thought that with the two usb metal adapter it was not possible to connect it near the three outputs (usb, aux, and cigarette lighter) in the place and I had to use the auxiliary cable that it brings for my 2013 elantra but it works very well, the audio It is very good, it is a good product, now I use it for everything.

BT was easy to set up

May 2, 2018

Color: BlackVerified Purchase

BT was easy to set up. It's great as far as listening to my podcasts or music from my phone. Downside to this item is how bad this is to people calling me. There's a humming or static that my callers hear. It's annoying so when someone calls me I turn off the BT and turn it back on when the call is completed.

I've seen on Amazon that MPOW also makes a "Mpow Ground Loop Noise Isolator for Car Audio". Supposed to eliminate this issue. I kinda figured that they would've added this already but it is what it is. I haven't researched it thoroughly but it's a start. I'll update after I buy it.

05/21/2018 UPDATE:
Bella, from the Customer Service Team of Patozon Amazon Store contacted me via email after I left a 3 star rating. I bumped up to a 4 star after the excellent customer service I received in trying to rectify the issue.

Bella offered me a different model to make sure that I was satisfied. I agreed to this just to see if I had a bad one to begin with or something else. Her reply email was, "Please be sure to contact us immediately if there are any problems with the replacement after you receive it. We promise that the issue will be solved perfectly if you are willing to give us the chance."

I received the new unit and I made time to go through both to see what the difference was. I originally had the unit attached with the aux piece that comes with the unit on my radio. On both, the noise/humming was almost the same. I attached the aux cord that comes with it and sat it on my console next to me. Doing this was a big deal as the aux outlet from my radio is next to the a/c vent and it was picking up that noise when it was next to it.

What it boils down to is the mics that are built into these things pic up everything. It’s not perfect but still doable and I’d still recommend these units.

Customer service is awesome.

Color: BlackVerified Purchase

Crackling noise and stopped working after a little over a month. 10 days after the return date to be exact.
*****Please note that Bella at customer service sent a new adapter immediately with apologies.
I waited until I used it for several months before writing a review, if it warranted one.
This one works as was advertised! Have used it daily, many times a day for over 5 months and would purchase it again.
Thank you very much Bella. Your customer service is appreciated. I now will change my rating to 5 stars.

Love this so much, I bought a second one

January 28, 2019

Color: BlackVerified Purchase

I bought this receiver to connect my iPhone to the aux port in my car's stereo. I used double sided 3M tape to hold it next to the transmission lever, where I can easily control playback and power. It is also close enough to the 12v car charger that I can keep it connected full time and never worry about battery draining.

There are many pros to this device:
- Sound quality is great
- Battery life is great
- The device does not lose connection when connected to a power source for charging. This means that you can connect your phone to the receiver and start music playback before starting your car's engine. As you know, starting an engine cuts power to most of the car's electronics, including the 12v outlet. MOST bluetooth devices automatically turn off when connected to power, but not this one. This might be an underrated feature, but to me it is so valuable, that I decided to buy a second one to use outside of my car.
- Power switch, which means no need to hold a button for 5 seconds to turn on or off the receiver.
- The male-to-male 3.5mm adapter can be removed so you can use your own auxiliary cable or headphones.
- Connects to your phone very quickly.

Cons:
- The receiver feels very cheap. I know the price is not high, and though I believe you get a lot of value for your money, the build of the receiver is very flimsy. This is especially apparent in the on/off switch.
- Would have been nice to have a clip or some way to hold the receiver in your clothes, though this is likely not the intended purpose of this item.

I guess the good thing about this not having a clip is that you can secure it in a flat surface with double sided tape.

All in all, you get great value for your money, even if the device feels cheaply built.

I am EXTREMELY happy with my purchase.

Excellent product.

Color: BlackVerified Purchase

I do not understand what some negative reviews are about. The sound is very clear and loud. I just leave this connected to my auxiliary port and turn it on by flipping the switch on top and the connection is established in a second or two. When i leave the truck I turn it off. Perfect. Battery life seems very good too, i listen to it for 30 min on the way to work and same on the way back, and have not had to charge it in 4 weeks. It is a very good product, a solid purchase.

Fantastic little invention.

December 7, 2018

Color: BlackVerified Purchase

I use this with my Pixel 3 to listen to music in whichever work van I'm driving for the day. When I had a Nexus 5x, I found that this sounded better than when I just used an aux cord. It's very lightweight, but doesn't feel cheap. I tried a different brand before this MPOW, and it sucked.

I only use it in the car, so the battery lasts me a few days. It would probably last longer if I remembered to switch it off instead of letting it wait to shut itself off (which it automatically does after a while). Once it's low, there will be an occasional beep to let you know, so it won't just up and stop playing with no warning. It comes with an average length micro USB charging cable.

Customer Service is great too. I experienced a low volume issue after a few months, and I was able to rectify it in less than 10 seconds with a quick reset thanks to their help. The issue has not returned.

Good price, good sound, good deal!

May 25, 2018

Color: BlackVerified Purchase

I have to admit, I was planning on using it for my new speakers. They're wired and I wanted to go wireless. They worked perfectly. However, I bought a stronger signal one so I needed to figure out what to do with this one. In comes my sister with her new car that doesn't have Bluetooth. I plugged it into her radio's aux and played some music. Worked like a charm. Best part is she's happy and I get to listen to Tidal in her car. Win-win!

So far, so good!

April 16, 2019

It took me a bit after purchasing to use this because I kept thinking it would be a hassle to connect to and it is sooo easy and user friendly. This product actually works and the sound quality is not bad! So far, I would definitely recommend it. SO much better than the radio transmitters for Bluetooth!!

7-13-19 Edit: this product is SO worth it. I will say that it makes the audio sound off when it’s about to die, but it’s pretty easy to just keep plugged in. The battery lasts a while, but there is no way to tell how low it is until it started beeping. It doesn’t stop when it’s plugged in and keep beeping until the battery charges a little, but that’s the worst thing I have found so far. Otherwise it works great!
