There is still one shortfall though - portable Bluetooth adapters cannot implement the Audio/Video Remote Control Profile or AVRCP services to a connected non-Bluetooth media player.ĪVRCP provides the forward/back and next track functionality for your audio device. Got an older audio media or multimedia device?Ĭonnect it to a Bluetooth adapter - typically through a 3.5 mm stereo output jack - then pair it with a compatible intercom headset or Bluetooth speaker set and just like that, you’ll have a wireless connection for streaming stereo audio. The Bluetooth Dongle or Adapter or transmitter, commonly referred to as a “BTA”, has (thankfully) been around since (almost) the earliest days of consumer Bluetooth availability.Īnd trust me, their day isn’t over yet for many of us, they remain an indispensable accessory.Ī Bluetooth adapter or transmitter has clear advantages: the cost is minimal, but the value is great that being the ability to take a legacy or non-Bluetooth equipped device and move it into the wireless audio streaming realm. TAOTronics Model TT-BA01 (L), GOgroove Bluesense TRM(C) and Azeca (R). It pairs faster, audio output is better, battery life is slightly better than the other two and its kit includes an AC/DC adapter as a charging option. So despite all three being equally functional and worth the investment, I prefer the performance of the TAOtronics TT-BA01. Mount them with or close to the device, keep them charged up, reset them now and then to clean out the pairing memory and enjoy the audio streaming, what could be simpler than this? Value is what most Bluetooth Adapters provide with a continuing return on investment if the use of non-Bluetooth media devices is the norm. The TAOtronics device was the speediest it usually paired up within five to ten seconds whereas the other two took 30 to 40 seconds on average. The Azeca and Bluesense Bluetooth adapters are identical in form, fit and function, less finish, colour and markings, while the TAOtronics Bluetooth adapter has a unique elongated rectangular shape and markings.Īll three utilize Bluetooth v2.1 with Class 2 power with support for the A2DP profile for stereo audio streaming to compatible headsets.Īll three paired successfully with every Bluetooth receiver device put in front of them.
How do you connect that MP3 player, radio or other device to your motorcycle intercom system?Ī Bluetooth adapter/transmitter is the way to go.Īn indispensible device for today’s connected motorcyclist but, for some reason, still not widely known, understood or utilized.Īll three of these handy-dandy little gems do what they should.Īnd for the most part, they do it as advertised while providing outstanding battery life and the ability to be used while charging.
