These Bluetooth adapters are very simple devices with very similar functions, I’ve covered form, fit and function briefly in the following sections with a feature and performance comparison at the end.Īzeca Bluetooth Transmitter Model WAD BTT005
WebBikeWorld has published a fair number of Bluetooth adapter reviews in the past, individually or in conjunction with motorcycle intercom and communications system evaluations. Two of them, the Azeca and GOgroove Bluesense TRM are identical, differentiated only by finish, colour and branding.

The three Bluetooth adapters presented below are available in unlimited variety at widely varying pricing from a seemingly unlimited number of vendors.Īll three of these devices fall into the generic mold for Bluetooth Adapters: small, extremely portable and utterly simple to use. This review is focused on the Bluetooth adapter, also known as a Bluetooth transmiiter. There is no shortage of portable Bluetooth-enabling devices on the market. Three Stereo Bluetooth Adapter Transmitters This is also the reason why media devices connected directly to a Bluetooth personal or helmet headset system cannot be controlled by AVRCP instructions from the user via the headset. So in this situation, the limitation is physical rather than wireless and that wired 3.5 mm connection from the media device to the Bluetooth adapter is “dumb”, providing one-way audio output from the device to the BTA, but that is it.
Many Bluetooth adapters do not support anything other than A2DP. So even though both the Bluetooth headset and the Bluetooth adapter may be AVRCP compatible, the wireless commands cannot be passed to or interpreted by the media device.ĪVRCP is (typically) implemented with the Headset or Hands-free Profiles (HSP/HFP) as they conveniently provide necessary command and control instructions needed to execute the AVRCP features. 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.
