Customer Reviews


I purchased this item direct from Jaybird, but thought it worth posting here on Amazon.
I previously was using the Halo bluetooth headset which finally gave up and broke at the hinges (as everyone thought it might), and so have some experience with Bluetooth headphones.
I bought the Jaybird adapter because it would solve the issue of out of synch audio when wathcing movies on the iPhone. It does!
It also has great sound quality with deep base, rich midtones and great treble. I don't know how much of this relates to the Headphones versus the adapter though. Also positive is that you can use the track change buttons which normally do not work via bluetooth on the iPhone. So where is the problem?
Connection: Once paired, bluetooth devices should find each other. This doesn't. In fact you have to turn on the Headphones and then plug in the adapter within a few seconds. If you don't follow this sequence it doesn't re-establish the connection. This gets old.
Phone connection: The headphones have a microphone so that you can make and answer calls. This doesn't work with the Bluetooth adapter.
Skipping: When walking with the iPhone in a pocket, the sound skips frequently and badly. If you hold the iPhone, there is no problem. It seems that when the adapter is touching something: that's when it skips. This was problem also with the earlier version according to the reviews.
Also, I get an error message periodically on my iPhone4 that says this device is not compatible. It only comes up periodically so I am not sure what to make of that.
So if it wasn't for watching movies, then I would not bother with this at all.
Update: I requested and received a replacement device. No improvement. As a note: then I used the Headphones with my iPhone 4, and there was no synch delay with the audio track at all. I understand that the next release of the iPhone O/S will support bluetooth with track control, so there is no need for this device with the iPhone.

This is one of those unusual products that just does what it says it will do, and does it well. I plug it into my new Square format clip on Nano, it starts blinking, I put the Jaybird phones within a foot or two,they talk, connect, and it makes music. It flashes one blue flash you're connected in standard Bluetooth mode, and double flashes if you're connected in Apt-x mode. They say that in Apt-x mode they transmit CD quality sound. I can't swear to that but combined with the Jaybird sports band phones they give me excellent quality for my use, which is particularly at the gym. These just do the job and work well.
