1More Bluetooth Adapter Review: The Best Little Gadget Around

Who Is The 1More Bluetooth Adapter For?

• The 1More Bluetooth Adapter is the perfect gift for someone who has a pair of headphones they love, but nothing to use them with.
• The 1More Bluetooth Adapter is perfect for someone who wants to take a pair of old speakers into the modern era
• The adapter makes for an easy stocking stuffer given how compact and inexpensive it is.

With the way technology is shifting these days, everything is moving further and further away from wires and cables. Look no further than cell phones for a perfect example. Not only is wireless charging popular, but most handheld devices have removed their 3.5mm audio jacks. This means decades of audio equipment is quickly becoming obsolete.

However, one small, inexpensive device can make all that older tech feel brand new again, or let you dust off your favorite headphones to jam to tunes. That device is the 1More Bluetooth Adapter.

So Small, But So Handy

The 1More Bluetooth Adapter isn't much to look at. In fact, it may seem odd to heap praise on such a small, unassuming little brick. From a physical standpoint, the 1More Bluetooth Adapter only has one button, a USB-C charge port, a 3.5mm audio port, and a clip on the side. That's it! But that simplicity really helps.

To use the 1More Bluetooth Adapter, simply hold the single button to turn it on. This will automatically put the adapter into pairing mode the first time you use it, so syncing the adapter up to your phone or computer is very simple. Once paired, all you have to do is plug an audio cable into the adapter and press play.

Once the adapter is paired, whatever you plug into it works just like any other Bluetooth-enabled device. If you have a microphone on a pair of headphones or earbuds, you'll be able to use the adapter to make phone calls. If you plug in speakers, you can easily set your house up for wireless music. You can even plug the adapter into your car if you have an auxiliary port. Because there's virtually no set-up time, you can take the adapter with you to use with other people's devices as well.

How does the audio sound when transmitted through the 1More Bluetooth Adapter? Pretty darn good. While the limitations of Bluetooth audio still exist (as they would with any other Bluetooth-enabled device), things sound crisp and clear when using the adapter. As far as range goes, the 1More Bluetooth Adapter works from all the way across my (admittedly small) apartment, and even keeps a strong signal when I step outside.

Not All Perfect

While the 1More Bluetooth Adapter is great overall, there are a few minor downsides. The biggest issue is that the battery life leaves a little something to be desired. Yes, a smaller battery keeps the adapter light, but don't expect to be able to use the adapter for an entire work day. Generally, I found myself having to charge the adapter every six hours or so.

On the flip side of that, the adapter does seem like it charges fairly quickly. If you do find yourself out of juice, a few minutes of charging should give you enough power to at least make it to where you can charge it more substantially.

The clip on the side is also a little goofy. While it can come in handy if you find yourself in an outfit without pockets, the clip is a little difficult to use. It doesn't open up that wide, so slipping it onto clothing is tougher than you might expect.

Final Thoughts

For such a small and inexpensive device, the 1More Bluetooth Adapter is really outstanding. The adapter allows any headset to be future proofed, while bringing Bluetooth connectivity to places you wouldn't expect, like a car or home stereo.

Not only is the adapter versatile, it also offers a fantastic connection. The audio is high quality and the signal range is surprisingly far. If you're looking for an easy stocking stuffer, look no further.
