Make your headphones WIRELESS - btunes Adapter - REVIEW

2015-11-25
hey everyone Jimmy with Jim's review broom I noticed after some wired headphone reviews that I've done someone mentioned they wished certain brands and models would come Wireless well they found this bluetooth receiver for wired headphones called B Tunes at priced at $99 retail and sometimes discounted on Amazon so I placed a link in the video description below for you to check the most recent prices now they did send me four different units and I will be giving away all four units for you guys to help drum up some exposure for this small company out in California and if you're new to the channel rest assured I will still be doing my full test and giving credit where credit is due and for sure pointing out any issues or flaws that I'd come across so without further ado I'm here to help you make a purchase decision welcome everyone to jim's review room going over the physical features first there's four models in total fitting headphones with either a two and half millimeter or three and half millimeter port and then there's the specific bose qc25 and QC 15 models which essentially are the same in dimensions and materials used the only difference the QC models features different stems to fit inside its ear cups they all have this nice glossy black finish with the extended microphone in matte black and the rear it's a very simple design with an on and off button and while holding this down does pair your unit with your phone while paired you can pause and play your music with just the tab the flap up top is for charging the B Tunes to use and from my personal testing it takes about two hours to charge from a dead battery and then regarding battery life be tuned claims up to 10 hours of powering the pair of headphones here at moderate volume with my test I doing all my batteries and audio devices leaving volume at 50% to achieve a middle-of-the-road result here turning this on at 2:20 in the morning before going to sleep and letting it play until it died both headphones one last 11 hours and 22 minutes and the other 11 hours and 43 minutes not bad but back to the physical design overall the main part of device is tight and solid it's no flexing of plastics here or any kind of creaking when handling the unit nothing is moving at all the only real complaint that I had which isn't major to be honest with you the USB port is very very snug whether using the supplied USB cable or your own but everything about the build is honestly well constructed now trying this with the most popular headphones that people are designed wireless features this fits perfectly into my bose qc25 s and my beats solo2 that i'm testing today overall wearing this despite having a battery inside the B Tunes is lightweight without weighing one side of your headphone down and then regarding aesthetics while wearing this is objective with some considering this large on the side of your face well some may be more accepting and you can be the judge on that but keep in mind there's a bluetooth 4.0 receiver inside a battery that powers the B tunes and it provides power to the speaker's there's a built-in microphone and NFC now going into performance here NFC works like a dream with tapping the side of the B Tunes to your NFC enabled phone and it pairs right away regarding the microphone here's a quick test to see how they sound I'm hey it's me yeah a few minutes sure and doesn't this bluetooth receiver that I have on my headphones just wondering about the audio quality does it sound clear on your end yeah it seems pretty clear there's a little bit of a static in the background it's really quiet not noticeable but other than that you're very clear does it sound like a speaking kind of far away like on a speakerphone by the Chancellor didn't sound more natural it's not very natural okay all right that's uh really uh that's really it for the test thank you oaky all right bye I am less than may be the most important part here does the sound quality stay intact and how is the wireless range V Tunes does offer aptX technology identical to what some of the other big-name brands on the market are offering insuring that the Bluetooth encoding retains a CD quality signal testing this again am i boasting Beats headphones the sound quality compared to using the wired was equal in my opinion but found in every test and every phone that I used switching from a wired connection to the B Tunes resulted in lower volume they were just not as loud as using a wire system now this was found on the bose qc25 as well where i noticed loudness would drop a slight bit regardless if it's Apple or Android and regardless what smartphone that I'd use this could very well be a Bluetooth matter and not be Tunes themselves and just I guess the nature of going wireless as for the wireless range I had taken this out to a big open area and measure the distance in between each support column with my laser tape measure I also placed a microphone in the video and you might be able to hear some audio coming through from the headphones that way you can see or hear proof or evidence and when these headphones start to disconnect the first is with beats using the newest 6th generation iPod touch and I was able to achieve 30 feet in my first try in 35 linear feet on my second attempt as for the qc25 walking backwards here into the Bluetooth signal cuts off I was able to achieve 30 feet on both attempts most wireless ranges are about 30 feet claimed by the manufacturers and based on these tests these results were as good so overall besides the volume dropping a slight bit when using this adapter and this could very well be because we're using bluetooth and not a direct wired connection and also the size like I said the size is subjective I'm pleased with the performance general if you're absolutely designed Wireless on an already bought wired headphones this is a great solution now for the giveaway I highly recommend going to their website to ensure your headphones would be compatible now I'm not responsible if it doesn't fit your headphones I'll put a link in the video description again for your convenience but I do have the QC
