Xiaomi Bluetooth Audio Receiver - not the cheapest in its class this time.

It used to be able to shake off any device, they say, wait, after a while, Xiaomi will do the same, but cheaper. For those who for some reason wanted to buy a Bluetooth receiver, this rule did not work: the gadget, although it is very cheap, but not cheaper than other manufacturers. Nevertheless, he deserved a couple of words.







In fact, much more interesting was how the company "teaser": the rumors, speculations were full, perhaps, any smartphone "envy." At a minimum, innovative headphones in a stylish package were expected, but it turned out thatโ€™s what.







At the time of the announcement, it turned out that the company addressed its gadget primarily to sports girls, who would be comfortable with โ€œturningโ€ their wired headphones into wireless ones in such a simple way.







Although, in fact, there are more applications for the receiver: a similar device, for example, will be quite useful in a car: for example, we brought Mpow with such positioning, but it is important to note here that the latter has a built-in microphone, and Xiaomi has not.



However, you can stream music from your smartphone to the radio without a microphone.







The device, as always, is stylish and elegant: a white small rectangle with a single button and two connectors at the edges: one to connect Jack (it's included).







The other is for charging via microUSB (not included).







In the same sense, again, the Mpow equipment was much richer:

Holding the button turns the receiver on and off, long hold - starts pairing mode (the blue and pink lights will flash alternately).







While listening to music a single press - pause / play, double - flipping the track 1 forward.



Price - from 1000 rubles, but not in Russia



In July of this year, there was news that the company indicated a price for the device at $ 15, but it doesnโ€™t work everywhere on Chinese websites: it would be fair to call the range 1100 - 1400 rubles.



Prices in Russian stores at the lower boundary - from 1300 onwards (for comparison, the Mpow now costs 1290 ).

But in general, it is cheap, but this time it is not cheaper than other receivers: prices in China start with very funny numbers.



Who is useful?



You can save money on this: let's say, round 1500 + 500 rubles for a good version of the same Xiaomi Piston , and now wireless headphones with a good sound for 2000 rubles.



How this is suitable for sports: formally, the wires have not gone away until it is clear. In the car? Yes, music from a smartphone to play is cool, probably, but many of them have long since updated VC with free tracks ...



In the car for security as a speakerphone, no: there is no microphone. Probably, this gadget is addressed to owners of smartphones with non-standard connectors, which are now becoming more and more. In this case, yes, a Bluetooth receiver is a good way to save money.
