Old stereo, new technology: Green Alliance MM114 Bluetooth 4.1 receiver with wheat models 3.5mm output three months experience

Get started with Cloud Music!

Since entering the pit NetEase cloud music, I can't live without music. In the past, I like to listen to headphones or connect to the millet-generation Bluetooth speaker and use private FM as background sound. However, the slag hearing of the small speakers and the low mobility of the headphones are far from satisfying my desire for music. Therefore, I set my sights on the Philips MC108B stereo that has been in the home for nearly ten years.

â–³ MC108B sound system, photos from the network.

The front panel of this audio host supports 3.5mm AUX audio input, usually with 3.5mm male to male connector.

But why buy such a Bluetooth receiver?

iPhone 7 interface issues

Reading the value of my previous Bluetooth headset evaluation may have discovered that a change in a 3.5mm interface has prompted me to purchase two objects. Even with the Lightning-to-3.5mm female cable, a conflict between music and charging is unavoidable. Therefore, I started a big search on the entire network.

Some of them have: SAMSUNG Samsung Level U Pro ANC Bluetooth noise reduction neckband earphone evaluation for three months This article a total of 4424 words, 26 pictures. Foreword Originally felt that this headset is quite niche, after starting to shoot out of the box, it will not be anxious to write a box of papers to grab the first sun, intends to use it for a few months and then come a wave of evaluation, easily pick the first Sun, however, has already had a value-for-money account in mid-December. Then I will evaluate this headset in more depth from the perspective of an iPhone user. Getting started iPhone7 interface problem 博丽基音 | Likes 36 Comments 73 Favorites 104 View Details


After layer screening, eliminating the need for extra space to place, the evaluation is obviously too low, and too difficult to see the product, decided to start from the Lynx double 11 as shown in the picture of the Green Alliance MM114 Bluetooth receiver.

Thinking about the same purchase, it would be worthwhile to spend an extra 10 yuan to get a call function. I bought a belted wheat model, but I have not used this microphone for three months.

Unpacking and drawing packages and accessories

â–³ There is a layer of plastic outside the package, and the quality is good.

â–³ There is parameter information on the back of the package, bilingual in Chinese and English.

△ ♪ If you are willing to layer by layer... Stop!

â–³ The body is also wrapped in a plastic bag, which is smaller than expected. Later, an iron triangle ATH-ANC29 headphone was used as a reference.

â–³ remove accessories: warranty card, manual, 1 meter long Micro-USB data cable.

Another one...

â–³ The manual is also bilingual in both Chinese and English, with a large amount of information.

Detail Tour

â–³ Thankfully, there is no large-area use of glossy design, and it is not a good idea to be a fingerprint collector.

â–³ Micro-USB charging port and 3.5mm male head, work very well.

â–³ The whole machine has only one button and the color value is high, but the operation is not easy. The left side of the picture is a bar status indicator, red and blue. .

Use experience connection

Press and hold the unique button (called "multi-function button" in the manual) for 3 seconds to turn on the system, the blue light will be on and flashing, and the Chinese voice prompt "Power on" will be output. For these three words of audio, the sound quality is general, stuffy, mixed, and mushy, with a clear sense of compression.

â–³ moderate brightness, uniformity, general praise.

At this point, the devices can be paired and the pairing is not slow. After the connection is successful, the battery level is displayed (if the audio source device supports it), and the Chinese voice prompt “connected” is output at the same time.

â–³ Battery display.

Sense of hearing

Connected sound

The output volume of the Bluetooth receiver is not adjustable and the volume is relatively large.

â–³ Plug in the MC108B and switch to AUX mode.

The audio volume usually only needs to open to 10 to meet the listening needs. Fine tuning can be done on the audio device.

Compared to the 3.5mm AUX line direct input, using the Bluetooth receiver, the dynamics of the voice has been improved, no longer soft, but there are a lot of details lost (after all, be regarded as low-cost Bluetooth), in general, the sound Some "rough". I don't think this is the closest relationship to thrust. Instead, it adds "seasoning" to the decoding process.

In a few cases (for the time being unable to summarize the specific situation) the output will break. It has been confirmed that there is no problem with the corresponding sound source and output device.

Connect headphones

Say first conclusion: Listen to me and give up. The receiver may not be suitable for general headphones.

Although the Samsung Level U Pro ANC that I mentioned earlier with the arrival of the Bluetooth receiver (for the evaluation link: http://post.smzdm.com/p/528235/), I still plugged in the Bluetooth receiver. Iron Triangle ATH-ANC29.

â–³ It can be seen here that the size of the Bluetooth receiver is not large, but it is not small enough to fit in the headset.

Without turning on the noise reduction (ie passive) of the headset, turn on the power of the Bluetooth receiver. If I haven't put on the headphones yet, I hear a “Connected” (at this time, I've paired with the phone and connected automatically). The remaining whale.jpg

Set the phone's Bluetooth output volume to 0, start playing music, and then put on headphones, turn on 15 times the screen zoom, carefully slide the volume slider to 1%, I will normally turn on the volume of noise reduction in the headphones Of course, the sound still hasn't turned on the standard state of ANC29 in the case of noise reduction: stuffy, mixed, and paste.

Then I turned on the noise reduction switch, and it sounded normal, but the volume couldn't take it. I listened for 5 seconds, and then silently turned off the power of the headphones, and came to the conclusion that the general headphones can't control the goblins.

Multiple devices

This Bluetooth receiver can only support one device connection at the same time, but it can store the pairing information of 5 devices to meet daily use.

On the Bluetooth receiver side, it is not possible to directly disconnect the current connection. Press and hold the multifunction key for 3 seconds to switch off the current connection. Therefore, the switching device needs to disconnect Bluetooth on the currently connected device and then operate the new device connection.

In addition, in the case where multiple paired devices all have Bluetooth enabled, which one of the Bluetooth receivers is powered on and completely looks at the face, there is no relation with the pairing and connection.

Bluetooth devices can be discovered when a device is already connected, but the pairing fails and the connection fails. Because of this, once I forgot to turn off my computer's bluetooth, wanted to operate the phone connection, and restarted countless Bluetooth receivers, but it was no use. When I almost planned to go back to repair, I found that the indicator light indicated that there was a device connection. Only find the root cause of the problem

call

â–³ If you connect using a Windows computer, this will appear on the recording device for voice calls.

The quality of the call was good, about one meter away, not facing the receiver. At a slightly louder volume than normal, the other party could hear it.

Lifetime

Nominal battery life 4 hours, measured 3-4 hours (most of the time continued to play, there are some intervals), to meet the daily use.

When the battery is low, music will be lost and a “low battery” voice prompt will be played back. Then audio output will be restored. (Suddenly the play feels strange.) At this time, the indicator flashes with the normal power, and the color changes from blue to red.

â–³ charging gesture, can maintain Bluetooth connection and output in the case of charging.

When used at the same time as charging, the red light is very bright, but it will give way to the blue light that shows the status, and it won't appear red and blue light at the same time. This gives praise.

When fully charged, the light will turn blue. If it is in the power-on state, the indicator light is in the non-charging state and flashes blue.

Summary: scoring and buying advice

Taking all the factors mentioned above together, I gave this Bluetooth receiver the following rating:

Appearance ★★★★★

In this appearance, I think there are not many places that can be picky. The position of the multi-function key is also exactly opposite to the output interface of 3.5mm, which avoids the problem of interface damage caused by force direction deviation.

Listening feeling ★★★☆☆

As a background sound player, basically no problem. But the loss of some of the details, and the sporadic breaks that occurred, made it impossible for me to give a high score. Of course, if used in a car, the sense of hearing must be better than the normal Bluetooth + FM transmitter.

Portability ★★★★★

I think this size is small enough.

Functionality ★★★☆☆

The job is doing well and this is well received. However, the design of the multi-function key focuses on the call (short-press to answer/hang-up, double-click to dial/redial), discarding the function of previous/next/play pause, which is not very suitable for me personally. . In addition, although the receiver can satisfy most of the sounds, it lacks a volume adjustment function, making the word “wireless earphones” in the trade name become an empty talk.

Cost-effective ★★★★☆

79 yuan, battery life to meet daily use, Bluetooth connection is also relatively stable, the delay is not long (want to play audio games, please wake up, do not ask me how to know), or comparative value.

Purchase suggestion

If you need to light bluetooth on your home stereo, buy it.

If you don't want to use the popular Bluetooth + FM dual port charger in the car, and the AUX input is not hidden in a very small space, buy it too.

If you have a strict sense of hearing, please think twice about it.

If you want to turn your wired headset into a Bluetooth headset, choose another product.
