HomeSpot (2025 Version) NFC-Enabled Bluetooth Audio Receiver with aptX HD, 100 ft Long Range, Digital Optical & 3.5mm Output for Speaker System

Overall: Before I purchased this item I thought long and hard about my setup; rather to use Bluetooth or Airplay. After considering cost and equipment, Bluetooth became my standard of choice. After reading the reviews I decided that the HomeSpot Bluetooth Audio Receiver would be my receiver of choice. This was not an easy decision since I am a brand loyalist. The Logitech receiver also has rave reviews, but it cost $12 more. With money being an issue, I purchased the HomeSpot. Let¡¦s just say, I could not be happier. This receiver paired with the Leipai 2020A+ Mini Stereo Receiver and a pair of Bose 301 Series IV bookshelf speakers (that I have owned for 10 years) are a knock out combination. I was instantly blown away by the performance. Sound quality: It rocks! I am no audiophile, but this sounds great. I only notice a slight bump in quality with direct aux in. However the versatility of Bluetooth makes this setup ideal. It¡¦s great in situations where music is secondary to the action (i.e. offices, parties, barbershops, and BBQs) Range: I become more impressed as I purposely and accidentally push this product to its limit with better than expected returns. This product is easily worth 3x the price; here's why. This device cost $26; I often wonder why Bose charges $100 for their BT receivers. I own several BT devices that do not equal the range of the HomeSpot. Namely, Jawbone¡¦s Jambox and the Bose Soundlink. These speakers are good in their own right, but the Jawbone Jambox requires direct line of sight in order to work. It often loses connection when I walk across the room with my phone in my pocket. The Soundlink has the tendency to crackle when paired with my Macbook Pro. However, the HomeSpot has phenomenal range. I accidentally left the office with my phone in pocket to go across the hall. When I returned to my office to look for my phone... I was shocked when I realized it was in my pocket the whole time while the music continuously played. Wow! This thing transmits through concrete walls. While at lunch, I give my phone to a coworker located in the office next door, divided by a half wall. He controls the music and volume with ease. No interference! Simply amazing! Devices: This device easily paired to all of my Android and iDevices. I have a Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4, iPod Touch 4G, and iPod Nano 7G. With the Nexi the NFC pairing worked flawlessly out of the box (touch and go) just that easy. Hopefully this review was helpful, if so click yes :-)

The HomeSpot Bluetooth Receiver is one of those rare products that is amazingly simple, straight-forward, and extremely functional. Just plug it in, connect up the cable to your stereo, pair your phone (or whatever) to it just like your Bluetooth hands free ear piece, and you're all set. I'm using it in my computer room/office. The unit is small enough that I just stuck it behind the wireless charging stand for my Nokia Icon cell phone. I never intended to care that much about range. I just wanted to get rid of the need to plug and unplug wires all the time. Since the phone has wireless charging, it's a luxury just plopping the phone down on its wireless charging stand and also have it play music through my audio system without fiddling with any wires. The HomeSpot amazed me the other night. I took my cell phone halfway across the house just to listen to a quick podcast using my phone's speaker while brushing my teeth. Turned out, the phone was still paired to the HomeSpot. I didn't realize that Bluetooth supported that kind of range. I'm a bit of an audiophile and I listen to a very broad range of music. Classic rock (hard and soft), some pop C&W, classical, Broadway musicals, etc. I did some testing of various big name low-to-mid priced Bluetooth speakers and rejected them. I expected to reject the low-price ones, but I was very disappointed in the garbage companies like Sony were putting out at even the mid-price range. It was necessary to get into the high-priced stuff to start getting decent quality. The audio quality on the mid-priced units was probably good enough to mislead the average consumer, but an audiophile could easily tell they were lousy. If you've already got a good sound system at home and listen to quality full spectrum music, don't waste your ears on Bluetooth speakers. This HomeSpot will drive your home audio system at whatever quality you have for source material. (If you've compressed your music, it'll give you lousy compressed music quality. Don't get carried away compressing your music and then make the mistake of blaming your audio system.) I only have one complaint I've found with the HomeSpot. I (personally) wish it had a shorter Bluetooth range. I'd rather be able to walk out of my computer room with my cell phone and have the pairing automatically break, than to be halfway across the house and discover that my podcast is playing through the HomeSpot back in my computer room. :-) But hey, somehow I suspect other people would probably prefer the HomeSpot working over a long range. A note for people who may not have experience with multiple Bluetooth devices paired to their cell phone. Your phone should have some setting location where you can manually tell your phone to break the connection with a Bluetooth device while you're still within range of the device. It's probably the same place on your phone you go to establish the original pairing with the device. It's also probably the same place you would go to tell your phone to reconnect with the device later. You normally shouldn't have to go through the pairing procedure again just because you broke the connection. That should normally only be necessary if you told your phone to "forget" the device or if you "deleted" the device from the list of devices your phone knows about. Quick comment about Mogeeks, through whom I purchased the HomeSpot. I used just normal cheap shipping, and the product was in my mailbox in either two or three business days (forget which). Mogeeks fulfilled the order promptly, accurately, and didn't dally around. There was actually a cell phone case that I ordered from a different company at the same time, and it took a day longer to arrive. The delivery time for the case was "fine" and about as long as I'd typically expect, so I was very happy with the faster delivery time from Mogeeks. A final note of humor... if your phone seems to be paired just fine with the HomeSpot, your phone appears to be playing your music, and the HomeSpot appears to be properly powered and connected to your audio system, but you're not hearing anything from either your audio system or your phone, check the volume on your phone as well as on your audio system. I spent a few minutes one morning thinking my setup had broken until I finally realized the volume on my phone was turned all the way down.

I was keeping an eye out for something like this, since my girlfriends parents use airplay devices. Occasionally cuts out depending on what you're using to play audio off of it, my iPhone 5 occasionally cuts out. But it's not too serious, usually implies that you need to move it further from metal or electronic devices. When playing off of my laptop, it never cuts out. Works extremely well. Simple, easy to use. Sleek, professional looking. Pros: Small, Simple, Elegant, Plays high quality audio, little light to show what it's doing, plays audio signal to tell you when it has connected Cons: Occasionally cuts out, minimal instructions, not a lot of customizability I've tried it on a number of stereos, and pc speakers. Works very well. USB Powered and comes with power adapter. I'd recommend and I'm likely going to purchase a few more.

ora posso utilizzare il vecchio stereo con questo dispositivo bluethtoot

Wonderful product. Good reception. Least distortion. I strongly recommend this product.

Gründe für meine Entscheidung zu diesem Gerät ( HomeSpot kabelloser Bluetooth HIFI Musikadapter mit NFC ) waren sowohl die beschriebenen Funktionen, als auch der Preis und die doch überwiegend sehr guten Kundenbewertungen. Ich wollte eine einfache Möglichkeit, mein Handy mit meinem Lautsprechersystem in der Küche zu verbinden, ohne Kabel nutzen zu müssen. Die NFC Funktionalität war für mich ein Bonus, aber nicht Pflicht. Angekommen ist das Gerät wie beschrieben, gut verpackt und mit allen notwendigen Kabeln und Netzteil. Zuerst habe ich es mit meinem Nokia Lumia 920 per NFC ausprobiert. Die Kopplung klappte einwandfrei, der Klang ist super. Das heißt ich kann keine Veränderung zum Klang bei einer Verbindung per Kabel von Handy und Lautsprechersystem feststellen. Weitere Tests per NFC mit einem Nexus 7 (2012) und einem Samsung Galaxy S3 waren ebenfalls ohne Probleme. Auch ein Test mit meinem Nokia N8 ohne NFC verlief erfolgreich. Die Reichweite ist sehr gut, so bleibt die Verbindung mit meinem Lumia 920 z.B. über zwei Zimmer (ca. 7-8 m) hinweg bestehen. Auch die automatische Kopplung nach Anschalten des Gerätes funktioniert einwandfrei. Da hier mehrfach in den Rezensionen ein Knacken o.ä. genannt wird: Nach meinen Tests mit diversen Geräten kann ich sagen ja, es gibt ein Knacken. Dieses hängt jedoch, zumindest weitestgehend, vom gekoppelten Gerät ab. Beim Koppeln direkt gibt es ein kurzes Knacken, das stört mich jedoch nicht. Während der Wiedergabe von Musik fiel es mir beim Lumia 920 zwischen den Liedern auf. Beim Nokia N8 und Nexus 7 habe ich es nicht wahrgenommen. Zu hören ist dies in diesem Video: "Homespot Bluetooth Lumia 920 N8" bei YouTube suchen. Ich werde dieses Modell behalten, da es seine Aufgabe hervorragend erfüllt. Für den geforderten Preis ist die gebotene Qualität und Funktionalität m.M. nach unschlagbar. Ich kann das Gerät somit rundherum nur empfehlen!

Buena relación calidad-precio. Funciona bien y el resultado es el esperado. Recomendable para utilizar un buen equipo de sonido que ya tiene sus años.
