Works very well as a way to play streaming music from a tablet/phone to my older home theater receiver which only has optical/coax inputs. The sound quality is excellent when in direct line of sight. I think some mobile devices transmit better than others - e.g. my Dell Venue tablet (Windows) cuts out if I go around a corner, but in the same location my Galaxy Tab Pro (Android) stays connected. It's also useful if guests want to stream music to my system. Note that only one device can stay paired to the Nyrius so if you have your tablet lying around (and it's connected), but then you decide to stream from your laptop, you have to unpair the tablet or turn off its Bluetooth radio to let the laptop connect to it. - Verified purchase from Nyrius trusted store. -

I was provided an evaluation unit to play with and test. The 0 people found this helpfulI was provided an evaluation unit to play with and test. The Songo HiFi has perfectly solved my problem of trying to play music from my computer/phone/tablet on my main stereo receiver. The product comes with the power supply and cabling to hook up via RCA (black/red) cables. I opted for an optical hookup which I would highly recommend. Setup was a breeze both with physically connecting to my stereo and pairing with my bluetooth devices. The box itself is small and is virtually invisible in my cabinet. Sound quality is awesome. I would easily recommend this product. It's a winner. - Verified purchase from Nyrius trusted store. -

I use it in my car, and it works perfectly. I simply used a 0 people found this helpfulI use it in my car, and it works perfectly. I simply used a dedicated USB cable that connects to the round power socket of the Nyrius (I first checked the polarity to make sure it was not reversed). Now, when ever I turn on my car the BR50 turns on and the phone automatically connects. This is a lightyear improvement over having to connect the 3.5 jack to the phone every time. Sound quality is great and I could not tell the difference between the BR50 and wired connection. Overall I am very satisfied with this product. - Verified purchase from Nyrius trusted store. -

Ordered this because I have let my magnificent stereo system 0 people found this helpfulOrdered this because I have let my magnificent stereo system go silent while listening to mp3s on headsets or on other speakers. Remarkably easy setup, takes less than 5 minutes. The sound and fidelity are amazing. I sometimes use an app on my iphone called audio xciter to enhance the sound in mp3s; the flawless reception and superb high fidelity sound are not to be believed, and the Nyrius Songo performs flawlessly. Recapture your sound systems, peeps! This is a great device....truth in advertising for once. - Verified purchase from Nyrius trusted store. -

DEAR MANUFACTURER. WHY DID YOU NOT INCLUDE A USB TO 5VDC POW 0 people found this helpfulDEAR MANUFACTURER. WHY DID YOU NOT INCLUDE A USB TO 5VDC POWER CORD? I RESEARCHED AND FOUND ONE THAT WORKS MAKING THIS DEVICE MORE PORTABLE. PLEASE REPLACE THE INCLUDED POWER SUPPLY WITH A USB TO 5VDC ADAPTER ALLOWING PEOPLE TO USE THIS DEVICE ANYWHERE TO INCLUDE AT OUTDOOR PICNICS AND BACKYARD FUNCTIONS. My Review - Excellent Product! I took it out of the box, plugged it in, and paired my phone in less than two minutes. - Suggestions: Think altitude for placement!!! I intially placed this on top of my TV stand in front of my TV. It took me a few days to realize my sofa was cutting into the distance that I could have between my iPhone and this device. I placed this unit centered on top of my 55 inch flatscreen TV. I taped the power and audio wires to the back of my TV (black electrical tape) just below the top of the TV in order to secure this device. Huge difference! I can now wonder all over my place and remain connected. No skips or interuptions at all. Place this device higher than all of your furniture and counter-tops. The blue light looks nice above the TV. Pair this with an aptx transmitter to get the best sound quality. I purchased the "KOKKIA i10s + aptX Tiny Bluetooth iPod/iPhone Transmitter". IPhone does not have built-in apt-X technology. I also purcahsed the "Azio USB Micro Bluetooth Adapter V4.0 EDR and aptX (BTD-V401" for my laptop. Again, the sound is simply amazing. KOKKIA aptX transmitter for iPhone/iPad http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008PWN0I4/ref=gno_cart_title_0? ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A26BW72QMZTE51 Azio USB Micro Bluetooth Adapter V4.0 EDR and aptX (laptop) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JAZGSXY/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i02?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I recommend that you ensure the entire device is exposed and that you do not butt the device directly against any structure. Also, RF is a tricky thing. All RF transmissions generate "harmonics". So even if two devices operate on two separate frequencies, second, third, and fourth "harmonics" which are a by-product of the center frequency can bleed into and/or interfere with the signal of other wireless devices. If you are having problems put a little distance between this device and other transmitters such as your wireless router. I also recommend that you do not place this device in direct contact with other electrical devices. AC (alternating current) as well as circuit boards "radiate" RF at very low levels. Direct contact with an AC cord or an electrical device may generate some level of signal interference as well. A small air-gap should suffice. (Optional) Purchase and install the Audioforge EQ app. It really cleans up the music sound quality even on songs that you currently think sound great. The price for the app when I purchased it was $2.99 and worth every penney. It even has a great interface with your playlists. - If Cannot Connect: If you live in an apartment, your neighbor's BlueTooth (phone, ipad, laptop, PS-4, X-Box, etc.) may have connected first. If some other device beats your device to pairing with this product you will not be able to stream from it. - USB Power Options: I researched a few USB options to power this device in my car or in my house. This device requires 5 vdc and 0.6 amps. So i have located USB to 5 vdc Adapter cords that should work with this device. I have purchased one and will update this review when I test it out. Here are a couple of links below. You may also check locally at Frys Electronics, Best Buy, and so forth. The 5 vdc power adapter I purchased from Fry's Electronis works! I used it in my car and my home this weekend. The specs to it are as follow: *Frys website #7726838 *Manufacturer: OSEPP *UPC #899262000022 *Model #LS-00011 *USB port to a 5.5 x 2.1mm center positive barrel jack <== (note the outer and inner barrel dimensions here) *3.28" long cable *18 AWG Wire Cable *2A maximum consumption <== (any adapter that provides 0.6 amps or more should do) BiXPower USB Port Power Cable with 3 Extra Popular Interchangeable Connector Tips (pricey due to diff sizes) http://www.amazon.com/BiXPower-Power-Popular-Interchangeable- Connector/dp/B006MWXZM0/ref=cm_cr_pr_sims_t 1-16 of 97 results for "USB 5v Barrel Jack Adapter" http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=USB+5v +Barrel+Jack+Adapter+ Electrically, any 5vdc USB adapter that supplies 0.6 amps or more will work. All USB cords provide 1 amp or more so this is not a problem. - Last Thoughts: They also sell a BR51 for approx $20 more than this BR50. I researched the diff. The BR51 has NFC (Near Field Communications). The BR50 does NOT have NFC. Currently, NFC just allows you to tap your phone on this device and it will pair with it. Iphones do not support NFC. Even though I have an iPhone, I do not see the $20 advantage of being able to bump your phone to pair with this device. I simply turn on my phone's "Bluetooth" and I am paired without walking across the room to do it. Due to the sleek design, superb sound quality from aptX technology, optical output option, and good line-of-sight range, I view this product as worth the price. Lower cost receivers typically do not include aptX technology, which is why their sound quality is so poor. Also, with the USB to 5vdc car adapter that I am researching, this device becomes even more versatile than it was originally for. THIS IS AN EXCELLENT PRODUCT!!!! BTW I work in the field of Aerospace Technology such as Avionics, RADAR, Satellites and so forth. This is why my review is somewhat technical and maybe a bit too wordy. Sorry for that. - Verified purchase from Nyrius trusted store. - 2 commentsWas this review helpful to you?

However, when I went to order more, I found it was their intro price, and now the priced is doubled. Too much for me now. I wanted to put one in the car, one in a boom box and a couple more in the house. Bummer. - Verified purchase from Nyrius trusted store. -
