Super quick shipping. EZ hookup to my classic analog audio system. I spent the first winter in retirement transcribing all my LPs into MP3 to play in my car. Now I can easily create a playlist on my laptop to fill my house with all my favs that lasts for hours. Love it!
Well built. Easy to connect. Sounds great. Links to my phone almost instantly. I’m not a super tech guy, but this was beyond easy. A really great product.
Set it up on my laptop to use my old Onkyo Stereo System. HP with windows 10 didn't initially recognize the new Auris device. A quick trip into bluetooth settings and adding a device and I was up and running. I had my doubts if it would work, since the stereo is in the basement and the laptop is in the office on the main floor opposite end of the house. Not to mention there are 2 brick fireplaces in between. No problem!
Everything works great & I want to get two more for my other systems!
This review is for both the blueME HD Bluetooth receiver and the blueME Duo transmitter receiver. For my backyard sound system, I have wired speakers in the yard with the amp and equalizer inside. For music I use a phone or MP3 player plugged into the equalizer/amp. I got tired of having to go inside to change songs or volume levels. I needed a better way! I started with the blueME HD receiver. This allowed me to take theMP3 player outside. Unfortunately, the MP3 player did not have the Bluetooth range to play reliably. It kept having dropouts, some short and some really bad ones. Next, I added the blueME transmitter/receiver, used as a transmitter. Initially I did struggle slightly to get them paired up. Both of them only have one button and the pairing sequence must be done correctly. Once paired up, it worked well... really well! I have walked all over the back yard with the transmitter, and it has not had one single dropout. I have used it for about six sessions (one to two hours each) and the TX/RX pair have performed flawlessly! The sound quality is great and the Bluetooth connects easily. The blueME Duo is battery powered. So far, I put about 10-12 hours on it and the battery indicator is still showing 100% full. It seems like it will go quite a long time before needing a charge! I waited to do this review until I had put some hours on the transmitter/receiver pair because I wanted to know if it really was reliable. So far, I have not been disappointed! I would highly recommend both of these units!
Brought my old Luxman receiver into the 21st century. Simple to install. I bought a second one for the RV.
I used an RCA cable direct to the receiver because I had heard it was more reliable and direct. I was wrong, this little box does a spectacular job in both quality and sound. I'm considering buying another one for my garage.
This thing is awesome! Game changer. I hooked it up to my 1977 Nikko receiver and can blast whatever I want in crisp clear no cutout sound.
Just replaced my old Harmon Kardon BT device with the Auris! Spectacular and obvious difference! I’m old school and use an integrated amp (Luxman) and run it though Dahlquist speakers. This is heaven. The gadget delivers - much more than I expected.
This is my first DAC, and the low price and solid reviews influenced my decision to make the purchase. Compared to the vinyl Tone Poet release, the 24bit delivery from this unit is almost identical. This unit has me questioning my vinyl hobby going forward. Easy to setup and such a small footprint it can disappear on any shelf or atop an amplifier, etc. well worth the small investment.
Works as advertised. Easy hook up and pairing. I can enjoy my older receiver again. What a deal. Thanks.
I'm absolutely thrilled with my BluMe pro. It allows me to play DJ through my music streaming app over my home theater without having to get off the couch to change discs! The audio quality is excellent. I have absolutely nothing to complain about. Magnepan M3.6's powered by Marantz SR7012.
I have had the Blume Pro for about 2 years. Great value & more importantly sound! This 2nd purchase is a gift for my brother, who is going to be AMAZED at the sound improvement over the “cheapie” piece he is using now. I can’t wait to surprise him!
Love being able to stream via my older stereo system now used in my office. Sounds much better over the Blue ME and Klipsch speakers than the laptop sound.
The sound quality and build quality are both great! The only change I would make, is it would be nice for the Duo to come on and automatically attempt a connection whenever power is applied. This would mean I could plug-in the unit to the switched outlet of my vintage receiver, and the Duo would cycle on/off with the receiver. (I also have a bluMe HD unit on my home theater and this unit in fact does that).
I'm pleasantly surprised how good the Auris HD really is - I replaced a generic, Amazon--purchased, Bluetooth receiver that made similar claims around data rates & compression, but didn't come close to the sound quality from the HD. Set up was seamless and the included accessories (i.e., wires) are good quality.
Out of curiosity, I queued up a copy of Steely Dan's 'Aja' on a remastered CD and compared it to a streamed file off of Apple Music. The differences were more subtle than I'd have imagined.
Product works as described and intended. Just what I was looking for to convert my living room stereo system to Bluetooth for use with my music app on my android sound. Easy to use and connect and pair in seconds. Sound I'd great. Highly recommend this product. Very satisfied with my purchase.
Set up in less than 5 minutes. Works great! Set up on home stereo system (NAD, B&W, Ipod, NAD CD, BSR Equilizer). Sound is very good, similar if not better than direct plug in. Highly recommended.
