"iPod Bluetooth Adaptor"
Posted: 12 April, 2021
Pod life is still treating me well, so much so, that I started shopping around for a bluetooth adaptor.
Couple of reasons behind this:
- Now we're easing out of lockdown I'm able to drive places. I'd really like to have the Pod in the car, but the only means I have to connect it is via bluetooth.
- Crazily enough, the only reliable cabled headphones I still have are the ones I DJ with. They're a bit bulky, so I'd like to be able to use the wireless ones that kick-around in my bag.
After a bit of a hunt I settled on the Trond BT-Duo S. Not the cheapest, but it's well specced, low latency and can continue playing while charging, which is perfect for the car.
I'm always a little dubious about this sort of kit, but it arrived in a very nice box, with clear instructions, a 3.5m-3.5 cable, USB charge cable, 3.5mm male-to-male adaptor, and a 3.5mm to phone cable. Basically, everything you could need.
Pairing's been quick and rock-solid with everything I've tried, including Air Pods, so absolutely no complaints. Not quite sure on the battery life just yet, but it did a full work-day yesterday and still has some juice.
The included phono cable got me thinking though... I could plug this into the back of my Amiga and get audio out of my amp... Hmmm, less cables on the Amiga? No bad thing!
Watch this space... :D
