Apt-x/Bluetooth trifft klassische Stereo-Anlage

Reviewed in Germany on April 22, 2017

Verified Purchase

Als Ergänzung zu meiner klassischen 2.0 Stereo-Hifi Anwendung ist das Gerät sehr gut geeignet. Es unterstützt den apt-x Standard und somit wird die Bluetooth-Übertragung nicht als weiterer Verlustbringer in der Kette.
Der Lieferumfang war komplett, die Verpackung selbst ist großzügig. Der Aufbau ist auch ohne Anleitung möglich, jedoch zur Kopplung selbst sollte man kurz nachlesen - dann weiß man um das Verhalten und muss sich nicht wundern.
Die Verbindung nach dem Anlernen läuft sehr schnell und zuverlässig, auch die Verbindung selbst ist sehr stabil. Kleiner Tipp: Das Netzteil mit 500mA ist nicht gerade üppig dimensioniert, hatte noch ein altes aber deutlich größer dimensioniertes zu Hause, das brachte deutlich Verbesserung was die Verbindungsreichweite betraf. Hier ist wie im sonstigen Hifi-Leben: Nicht am Netzteil sparen.
Haptik, Anschlüsse und die rutschhemmende Unterseite deuten auf vernünftige Entwicklung hin, was man von British-Hifi erwarten kann. Leider "Made in China", da führt wohl kein Weg dran vorbei.

Einzig wirklich negativer Punkt an dem sonst großartigen und völlig unterschätzem Gerät von Bayan Audio Ltd. sind die zu hellen LEDs. Die stören sehr, aber das ist auch lösbar.

Unbedingte Kaufempfehlung, wenn man seine klassische Anlage einfach und effizient in heutige Zeit bringen will. Und der Vorteil von apt-x ist gegenüber der Konkurrenz nicht zu unterschätzen.

Works well with echo dot

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 10, 2016

Verified Purchase

I have tried other bt devices with echo dot. Problem with other devices is their 'auto-connect' feature. So if you try to disconnected the bt with alexa command, she does so, but the bt device asserts itself and re-establishes connection automaticaaly.
Happy to report this does not do so, therefore I can connect and disconnect from voice commands.

This product was for me to have behind the amp in my lounge and forget it was there. It has about 3 meters to cover from echo to bt device.

Review: really surprised on quality of build, very solid and we'll designed. The button can turn on/ off device manually and manually pair.
It has the ability to NFC connect with smart phone, however I don't really see this as a feature that would be useful links to me.
Sound is really really good. I didn't think there would be a difference with bt sound recievers but comparing this to other devices there is a remarkable difference.
They supply two adapters power adapters. Power is through mini USB. Two cables supplied. 1. 2 meter RCA to RCA and a 3.5mm to 3.5mm jack.
Paid £19.99 however looks like they are gone and a more expensive price is there. Deff worth £20 maybe £30
The only grumble I would say is the power led (white) is a little too bright.

Nettes Gadged für Zuhause und fürs Auto

Reviewed in Germany on May 5, 2015

Verified Purchase

Dieser Streamingport war der erste welcher (fast) alle meine Anforderungen erfüllt.

Er unterstützt verlustfreies streaming via aptX und hat einen Cinch Ausgang wie auch einen Klinkenausgang welche gleichzeitit genutzt
werden können. Darüberhinaus funktioniert die Stromversorgung einfach über Mini USB.

Zum Klang:

Ich kann keinen Unterschied zur Übertragung per Kabel feststellen. Super Sound auf jeden Fall!

Optisch und Haptisch gibt es an dem Gerät nichts auszusetzen. Schlichtes, dennoch schickes Design.

Einen Stern muss ich jedoch abziehen, da ich finde dass es praktischer wäre, wenn das Gerät sich bei Stromzufuhr automatisch
einschalten würde, oder es eine Möglichkeit gäbe dies einzustellen. Das würde ihn wür die Verwendung im Auto noch geeigneter machen.

Alles in allem ein Top Produkt

Beware of using Bluetooth receivers with Windows

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 10, 2016

Verified Purchase

Firstly, this product works exactly as it says on the tin - very simple to set up and connect. Highly recommended if you have a simple input/output situation.

This review is primarily for anyone trying to decide whether to go for a Bluetooth receiver or a Wifi receiver for streaming music from a Windows laptop. I chose this initially, but will now swap it for a Wifi receiver.

Windows is perfectly capable of streaming music to this device. However, there's a serious problem with the way it automatically tries to separate different sound outputs for different programs.
This can be very helpful - it means you could listen to music through your bluetooth speakers, while system sounds or noises from web browsing come through the laptop speakers.
Unfortunately, there is no easy way to select which sound goes where. Windows seems to choose on the basis of first-come, first-served. So if you open your internet browser first and watch a video, you'll find the sound coming through the bluetooth speakers - then when you subsequently open itunes (or another media player), the sound will come through the laptop speakers.

Once these priorities are assigned, it's very difficult to change them without restarting everything. Even worse, when I have managed to reassign itunes to the bluetooth speakers, I've found that it often starts transmitting in much lower sound quality.

There's currently no way to fix this on Windows 10. I've looked around and there are some programs available that offer you specific control over which program's sound goes where. Unfortunately, the free one I tried didn't work, and other options are paid. I'm sure it's possible, but seems quite fiddly.

In short, if you're looking to stream music from a laptop (while also using it for other functions), I think a wifi receiver is a better choice, because it can interface with iTunes' Airplay.

Erfüllt hohe Erwartungen nicht

Reviewed in Germany on April 19, 2013

Verified Purchase

Das Gerät soll angeblich die Bluetoothkopplung durch Einsatz von NFC erleichtern. Dies funktioniert bei einem Samsung Galaxy S3 nicht. Eine "normale" Kopplung läuft hingegen mit diesem Gerät. Ein Nexus S konnte weder mit NFC noch ohne gekoppelt werden. Weiterhin gab es gelegentliche Tonaussetzer (Entfernung <5m, keine Wand). Rein subjektiv finde ich darüber hinaus, dass die LEDs viel zu hell leuchten.
Mein Gerät geht zurück.

Excellent value for money, great performance.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 19, 2016

Verified Purchase

Over the moon with this product, beautifully packaged, includes 3.5mm audio cable, twin RCA audio cable, inter changeable mains adapter and USB charging cable. Very simple to use straight out the box, 2 minutes later .....running. Very good audio quality, I use it to play HQ backing tracks from a tablet to a mixer, very well made, all in all incredible value for money. Researched many other similar products but chose this one and could not be happier.

Blue tooth is intermittent.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 20, 2016

Verified Purchase

The design of the product is nice and the size of it is just about right, the only issue I have with this device is that it doesn't work very well with my iPad Pro, the suns cuts out a lot and goes silent for sometimes ten seconds at a time. It works well with my iPhone which is handy but I wanted to be able to pass my tablet around in a gathering or house party with Spotify on the screen so we can all add songs to the list but it won't work very well like that at all.

I really want to like this device

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 28, 2017

Verified Purchase

Bayan Streamport: I really want to like this device. Build quality is good, sound quality is also very good....but it is by far the glitchiest bluetooth device i have come across. It is very, very annoying to such an extent i may decide to return it.
For those interested, when the unit first receives power, it goes into standby. You need to press and hold the single button on its top for 2-3 seconds to enable it. For those considering a car installation, this will be an irritant.

Bayan Audio, what is with this glitchy behaviour? It occurs with FLAC and other file formats at various bit rates.

Very useful device to stream smart phone through hifi

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 12, 2018

Verified Purchase

Superb little device for allowing modern bluetooth phones etc to play through an older hifi system. The supplied cable has red and white jacks that plug into the input of a traditional amplifier (Marantz in my case). The Bayan does require a power supply via an adaptor. Seems to stream well from up to 10m - I haven't tested the bluetooth capability from any further. Very easy to install and simple to use. Highly recommended.
