Table of Contents
For weeks, I’ve been putting the Wireless Bluetooth Audio Receiver, model number 980-000912/980-000913, through its paces. This unassuming little black box promises to wirelessly upgrade any audio system with a 3.5mm or RCA input, and I was curious to see if it delivered on that promise. My testing involved connecting it to various devices – from a vintage hi-fi system to my laptop speakers – to get a comprehensive understanding of its capabilities.
The device is incredibly compact and lightweight, a definite plus. The one-push pairing button is intuitive and worked flawlessly throughout my testing. The included RCA to 3.5mm cable is a thoughtful addition, increasing its compatibility with a wider range of devices. The build quality feels surprisingly robust for such a small device; it doesn’t feel cheap or flimsy at all.

Pairing was a breeze. The claimed 15-meter range proved accurate in my line-of-sight tests. However, performance did degrade somewhat when encountering walls or other obstacles. Audio quality was surprisingly good, with minimal latency and clear sound reproduction. I tested it with a variety of audio sources – podcasts, music, and even YouTube videos – and the experience was consistently positive. The simultaneous pairing of two devices worked flawlessly, allowing me to switch seamlessly between my phone and laptop. I experienced no noticeable dropouts during usage.
One minor drawback I observed was a slight hum when the volume was very low, barely audible though, and only noticeable in a completely quiet environment. This wasn’t a significant issue for my typical usage.
Pros:
- Easy pairing and connection
- Reliable range
- Good audio quality
- Compact and portable design
- Simultaneous pairing of two devices
- Includes necessary cables
Cons:
- Slight hum at very low volume
- Range can be affected by obstacles
Overall, the Wireless Bluetooth Audio Receiver 980-000912/980-000913 is a fantastic little device. Its ease of use, reliable performance, and surprisingly good audio quality make it an excellent choice for anyone looking to add wireless Bluetooth capabilities to their existing audio setup. The minor drawbacks are insignificant compared to its many advantages. I highly recommend it.
