1Mii B06Pro Long Range Bluetooth 5.3 Receiver with Volume Control | aptX HD Wireless Audio Receiver for HiFi, aptX Low Latency for Old Amp (RCA Digital Optical TOSLINK Coaxial)

My review is purely based on the Bluetooth performance via the optical Toslink.. so if using RCA, I would look for specific reviews for this feature. I am connecting to an iphone 15pro into an Arcam irdac DAC via the supplied fibre optic Toslink connector, and the performance is faultless; it connects straight away, and so far no drop-outs at all. I’m playing lossless files, and the sound is pristine as you’d expect. The volume and ‘3d’ settings are gimmicks for headphones or RCA connections and of no interest: for optical connection, it just works, tucked out of the way out of sight. Good range too.. certainly in the next room, no drop outs like my previous device. I shall update in a few months, but so far, very happy.

This unit was easy to instal and pair with the iPhone. I used the toslink to the amplifier of my ancient but high quality Pioneer Hi-Fi. It worked first time and produced high fidelity sound in keeping with the system. There has been no dropping out and pairing new devices is a doddle. I had tried a cheaper unit previously but there was introduced noise and the sound quality was poor so I am delighted with the new receiver. Great value.

UPDATE July 2023: I've had this unit for a few months now and I like it more than I did immediately after purchase. aptX HD sounds amazing on my Benchmark DAC3. It's truly CD quality, plus the signal never drops out. However, this unit outputs ALL audio at 24 bit/44 khz no matter what the source is, so I'm not sure exactly what type of processing it's doing. I personally don't think LDAC is fit for purpose due to constant droputs at 660 and 990 kbps (LDAC has 3 bit rates, 330/660/990 kbps, and your phone will likely lower the bit rate to 330kbps to prevent dropouts, which is lower than aptX HD's bit rate of 576 kbps). So I really like that this Bluetooth receiver has aptX HD and not LDAC, which I think is a great compromise between sound quality and dropouts. Original review (March 2023): I can confirm this unit has a coaxial and optical digital output, which is rare. Most Bluetooth receivers only have optical out. The main reason I'm not 100% happy with this Bluetooth receiver is because it never stops sending an active signal to my DAC. Since my DAC has no power button and turns itself off when there is no audio signal (it's a Benchmark DAC1 USB), my DAC always stays ON if this receiver is connected. So I have to turn off the Bluetooth receiver, which is kind of a pain as I like it to automatically connect to my phone without any faff. The other problem is that I'm not sure the digital signal this Bluetooth receiver sends to my DAC is bit perfect, but it still sounds good. The unit has a volume control, which you should never use because digital volume controls reduce volume by lowering the bit rate of your music. For digital music, the bits, such as 16 bits, control the volume of the various sounds in the music. So if the bits are lowered to say, 8 bits, to reduce the volume, you lose the dynamics in the music that's played because all of the instruments will sound like they are the same volume. So I recommend only using the maximum volume setting on this device at all times to maintain the highest bit rate and let your amplifier control the volume. Also, this unit has a "3D" setting which makes the music sound very weird. It certainly isn't 3D! I recommend you keep this feature turned OFF.

A friend had recently sent me an Amazon gift voucher as a birthday gift so I decided to go for this bluetooth receiver. My main use of it is to stream music either from a new Android phone I'll soon be getting or from my Echo Dot 3rd Gen which will include listening to internet radio. I had previously purchased an Aukey bluetooth receiver but whilst that was good I decided to get this not only because of the volume control but also because it has aptX low latency. It arrived yesterday and since then I've been 100% satisfied with the sound. I unwrapped it, took it across to my HiFi, plugged in the Aux cable, then the micro USB cable, plugged it into a USB wall plug then switched it on, pressing the volume button till it reached the max, then I paired it with my Echo device, afterwards turning that to the max volume and told Alexa to play Andy Williams music. In no time Andy Williams was coming through my speakers with excellent sound, much better than the Aukey. This morning I tried a Beethoven Piano Concerto Cycle with Sir Colin Davis as conductor and where as with the Aukey I had to turn the volume up pretty high to hear it, on this one there was no need for that. There's also a bass boost on it which makes the sound so much better. Anyway just a bit of help if you're not sure how to set it up or are a blind person as I am. In the box you'll find the 1MII bluetooth receiver. Unwrap this and then in the box there are several cables. If like me you just want to use this sort of cable, have it plugged into the aux socket on your HiFi and the other end into the receiver. Place the 1MII with the aerials pointing away from you and the receiver standing on a hard surface. It has four round rubber non-slip circles at the bottom. At the top in the centre there's a large button which is the pause knob if you're listening to something. With the arials pointing away from you there are two sockets, the first on the left is the micro USB cable. As there is no plug, it might be wise to get a USB plug from Amazon (I use the Amazonbasics which serves excellently). Plug the other end into your wall socket plug and the next socket is the Aux socket. Once you're set up, on the bottom on the right there's a round button which is on and off. Press it once and the receiver will start up. On your left is the bass boost so if you want excellent sound, press that then at the top you'll find the volume down and on the right the volume up. With a long press these buttons will skip back and forward respectively. Pair your Echo device or phone and you're good to go. I will be continuing to use this until I eventually go into streaming in a bigger way but I can certainly recommend it if you just want it for the HiFi in your room. There are two other sockets on the right at the top but as I don't use them I'm not sure what they are nor am I anxious to explore them since what I now have gives excellent sound.

Product does what it says on the tin, and now my 1970s analogue amp has bluetooth connectivity. sampled some electronic and metal music, both sounded great. Very easy to pair, and range is great. It doesn’t break up at points in my home downstairs where previous, smaller adapters have. Very happy with this, worth the money. Plus it has an on/off button which is great.

I had been thinking of buying an expensive wireless speaker like a Naim so that I could stream Spotify from my iPhone. Then I did a bit of research and came across this little bit of kit and for the price thought I had nothing to lose. So it arrived from Amazon and after unpacking had it all connected with a few minutes to my Arcam Solo amplifier pumping into Linn speakers. Thought there might be a problem pairing with my iPhone (there usually is, isn’t there?) but it snapped in like two magnets meant for each other. So it came to the big moment, I hitched up to the Spotify App on my phone and then selected Gerry Rafferty, Baker Street as I always like to judge something like this with a bit of music I know well. I have to tell you it could have been the Pirates of Penzance as I nearly peed my pants. I was so pleased I kissed the dog, he’s still howling. What a great little piece of kit. So order one now, when it arrives you’re 5 minutes from heaven.

I wanted a Bluetooth receiver to stream my Flac music collection from my Sony NW55A Digital music player to my Cambridge amp HIFI system so settled on this mid range receiver because it has all the right codecs This little box is good for the money and the sound was half decent and is far better especially in aptX-HD than the cheaper battery Bluetooth units that can be had for £10 But I returned this after listening to a Bluedento BL2 also in aptX-HD and was blow away with the sound Yes it's twice the price but DAC inside makes all the difference and i would say most people wouldn't be able to know that it wasn't a CD playing. So as the old saying goes you only get what you pay for!

OK, so I started a return on this then kept it! Discovered that the volume can be adjusted with my Amazon fire remote (the version with volume buttons) I didn’t realise the remote could control this Bluetooth adapter. Makes all the difference. If you use the device buttons only - they click loudly, feel plasticky and don’t make much difference to volume. I wanted quiet use at night. TV in bed. Not loud clicking buttons that were too far away on the short lead (connected to amp and plugged in to mains means the box is too far away to lean over and click the volume buttons). 3D sound - useless, produces a horrible tinny echoing sound. Replaced old Logitech that kept dropping connection. This has been great, reliable and user friendly! Kept and would buy again (if it lasts). 4 stars as no idea of lifespan.

Muy bien receptor, su función 3D añade sonido más profundo.

I bought this over 12 months ago, its been a really good buy and always works well. Recommended

Great product
