I got this because my wife's new Kia Soul doesn't support an iPod. Yeah, it does Apple CarPlay but she doesn't have an iPhone. Yeah, it does Android Auto but she doesn't want to move her music. Bluetooth adapters won't work because the Soul's Bluetooth requires you type a pin code on the Bluetooth device. She has decades of playlists for her music and doesn't want to lose them. And yeah, I know, the iPod is completely discontinued so someday she'll be out of luck. For now though, there's this wonderful little Beinhome FM Transmitter. It's simple to use and it simply works. Plug it into the audio jack on the iPod (it's actually the same width and depth as an iPod so it doesn't get in the way) and then find an unused FM station the radio. Set the Beinhome FM Transmitter to the same station and viola! Her iPod works again! I'm in the NYC area so finding an unused station took a little while and some trial-and-error but I found one that worked well. Once I had the station locked it just worked. The sound quality is good but I'm not the best judge of sound quality. I'm very, very happy with this Beinhome FM Transmitter! Read more
Replaced my prev FM Transmitter when wires became brittle, and prev FM transmission became scratchy. Prev one plugged into cigarette lighter to power it. Would store in my center console. After using it for 2 years, wires were bent/pulled, twisted/sat on etc, which means they would need replacing every year or two. Not so with this one! Its wireless, and unit plugs directly into phone 2.5mm port, with no wires at all. Note that because of this, YOU DO have to charge it with removable micro USB cable (included), but you have the option of doing that at home, and not have to bring any wires with you, which avoids wires getting damaged in your car. This is DEF a great option. I am guessing it lasts several hours on a charge, which is again, far preferable to having to charge it and bending/wearing out cord while you are driving. Only took about an hour to charge it to max at home, and it has lasted about (5) 30 min trips with plenty of charge to spare. It works perfect. NOTE: Got a little bit of feedback when I first plugged it in, because my phone vol was at max. Easy to fix. Just back your phone vol a few taps below max, and increase your car audio, and it plays perfect. Running it with phone vol at max may overwhelm the transmitter, which is understandable. Just like you wouldnt run a microphone at MAX if youre doing karaoke. Great little unit. Def HIGHLY recommend. Brand owner even reached out to me to make sure everything worked well, which is perhaps a first, out of hundreds of purchases on Amazon. I am very impressed by their desire to make sure customers are happy. If you have an issue, PLEASE, contact them first before leaving a bad review or returning unit, as returns badly hurt a seller's business record on here (I am an Amz seller myself). I GUARANTEE if there is an issue, if you contact them, they will help you out. No funds or goods were paid for this review. Just a kind nod to a great seller who cared enough to actually ASK if their product worked after they already got our business. A+ Read more
Good quality without sound distortion. I like the display, but it doesn't indicate charging when unit is off. 4 stars because the USB charging cord it came with didn't work. Not a deal breaker since I have enough cords to charge it with. There's no directions so no indication on how long it takes to charge and how many hours of use on the battery. I do like that it can be used while plugged in to charge. My stereo has a USB slot so that works perfect. I also like that it has no thin little wires to go bad as plug is attached directly. One or two accidental tugs on the wire on my Scosche transmitter and then the wires became finicky plus distortion even with new batteries. Unit is smaller than expected. Range is rated at 5 meters/16.4 ft. Yet it reaches throughout my whole apt. Unit came in a box with no packing material. A padded/bubble envelope would've been better. Unit kicks out after 20-30 sec. if no music is going through it. Not convenient to have static go tbrough speakers while cueing up next song. Overall, I'm still very happy with it. It's still easy to use. 10-12-20 UPDATE: Sound quality - Unit does not handle bass well for certain songs. It gets distorted. Not enough power, even when plugged in. This is my last cheap transmitter. It'll be worth it to get one with more power so it doesn't distort. At least when it's plugged in it doesn't kick out after 20-30 sec. if no music/sound is going through it. 12-22-21 UPDATE: I've hardly used it due to above reasons and replacing it with a transmitter last year that plugs into wall outlet. I was still going to use it with my phone in the truck this year for Christmas. However, on a full charge, display lights up, but is otherwise dead. Troubleshooted also by plugging into known working cord coming from PC - nothing. Read more
Works with Tesla Model 3. But there is a noticeable delay, and the quality isn't as good. Read more
The transmitter is really easy to use, you just plug it in your phone/player, look for an available radio station and you’re all set. Overall audio quality is very good, although I do get some interference every now and then, when driving close to other cars, but it’s usually just for a few seconds. The only big issue with the product is that the battery doesn’t last very long, the longest period I was able to use it was about an hour and a half. Also, it shows that is fully charged but after a couple minutes it will show only one or two bars (out of three). If you usually just drive for short periods this might work for you, but keep in mind that you will have to charge it almost everyday. Read more
