Purchased on Amazon with high expectations due to the fake photoshopped photos and a price point around €100. Unfortunately, I have to conclude that the 1Mii DS220 is a disappointing product in many aspects regarding design and ergonomics.Positive Aspects:Audio quality is standard Hi-Fi level.Controls for changing tracks or radio stations.Reception without antenna with close source.Negative Aspects:The problem with this Bluetooth receiver is its complete lack of understanding of basic design, ergonomics, and usability principles. It seems like it was designed by someone with no expertise in the field.Its mini size and light weight (like a pack of cigarettes), and the lack of rubber feet, mean it slides or even falls off the table at the slightest touch or when the cables pull on it.To press the power button or use the joystick to adjust volume and change tracks, you have to hold the device steady with one hand, otherwise it moves. The controls are imprecise, with unreliable feedback. There’s only one button for both power and connection, instead of the standard two separate buttons.The display is tiny (around 2 cm) and uses blue text instead of white, forcing you to bring the device close to your face to read it. Additionally, it always shows “LDAC” on the display, even when a different codec is actually being used, making this information useless and misleading.The way information is managed on the display is particularly annoying: instead of showing the name of the connected device (as is standard), it uselessly scrolls the title of the currently playing track. There is no settings menu and no dedicated app, so nothing can be adjusted or fixed.Power is supplied via an external wall adapter. It wasn’t designed with USB power input, the USB port is only for audio. This makes the device even less practical.Even in lower price ranges they are built better.Cheap Chinese junk from flea markets for a few bucks.
Usecase? Why not buy a bluetooth speaker for cheaper? Don't say audio quality cause you're using bluetooth.
>>108882198fosi audio is my goto for dual channel amps. stop buying chinese shit on ebay. at least get it off ali.
>>108882232WTF is Fosi Audio? I don't see BT receivers for Hi-Fi.
I have one of these, can barely turn it up with two 100w speakers. A lot of power
>>108882198>>108882229this is absolutely and doubly hilarious.because many chink stuff with BT chips as an added/bonus feature (e.g. good cheap amplifiers, or meh cheap speakers/woofers), use the cheapest BT chips possible, which only support absolutely trash BT codecs, and most people don't even notice.the product from OP goes the opposite direction, and promotes the huge memes that are "HD" BT codecs lmao.putting aside the rare products that support Opus, targetting the very small minority of people... who actually heard of Opus, non-tards know that you don't need more than AAC (non-low latency cases), or nowadays, LC3/LC3plus which fixes the latency part, but requires a little bit higher bitrate to match AAC quality.BT "HD" codecs are tard-targetting tools, just like any other "audiophile" tool, except they can be extra funny when you get to the details (like how LDAC is nothing more than a meh MP2-level codec with nothing actually "HD" about it lmao).
>>108882229I have the perfect Sony SRS XB 100.I'm talking about Hi-Fi here, not toys.
>>108882410What year are you talking about?Because since 5.0 all support not only SBC, but also AAC and aptX as standard.
>>108882784standard != mandatory
Speaking of I have recaped HK 630. Its cool and all but I think about adding BT support for it any board recommendations for this?
>>108882198Unironically start designing your own hardwareIt's the only way you'll truly be satisfied with niche products like thisPCB design is easy
Off topic but, has anyone here used poclink radios? (Thanks.)
>>108885663Poclink radios offer privacy compared to traditional walkie-talkies, but anonymity depends on how they are used. They operate like cellular devices over 4G/5G/LTE networks rather than broadcasting over public, unencrypted airwaves.
