Can it be charged while it's in use?
A shopper
on Nov 18, 2019
BEST ANSWER: Yes because of where mine is at I just leave it plugged in all the time. Only thing that gets me is when I'm on the house and car is off this thing remains connected until it dies. I guess you could shut it off but never think about it.

can you pair this with an mp3 player and bluetooth earbuds?
luis c
on Apr 20, 2022
BEST ANSWER: This pairs with a Bluetooth audio source, such as a phone, mp3 player, etc. It cannot pair with earbuds or any other audio playback device. It is an audio playback device itself that plugs into the 3.5mm AUX input on your car stereo system. It can even plug into headphones with a 3.5mm input (such as 8323), thereby turning them into Bluetooth headphones.

No, this works in the opposite direction; it is just a Bluetooth RECEIVER, which means you can send a Bluetooth audio signal to it (e.g. from a phone) to play through the 3.5mm aux plug, e.g. in a car or sound system. What you want is a Bluetooth TRANSMITTER, like item #38070 or #38071.

This item connects via bluetooth as an INPUT. Your phone connects to device and it plugs into the AUX IN on a device or car stereo. It turns any speaker into a Bluetooth speaker-- but it doesn't work the other way.

BEST ANSWER: The battery is sealed in the unit, so it is not designed to be replaced, however a skilled person might be able to disassemble and find a similar replacement online at your own risk. It’s likely you will get several years out of the factory battery. These work great and are excellent for the price.

my solution is to connect the unit to a battery bank and keep it charged for a very long time. using a cigarette USB charges does not work, because the car electronics creates static

I’ve not done this personally, but my understanding is it receives Bluetooth and sends it through the male attachment to your female stereo receiver. Rather than transmitting to your Bluetooth headset. That said, I suppose you could put it on headphones to receive Bluetooth if you did not have Bluetooth already in the headset.

What do i do if it stops charging?
A shopper
on Nov 8, 2021
BEST ANSWER: You can try a different power charging cord, or attempt to charge it with a wall charger. If either of those two options do not power up your device you can look to see if it is still under warranty with Monoprice. I would say to email their support team and work with/through them if using a different power cord doesn't resolve your charging issue.
These are inexpensive enough that if you need to replace it, it is within reasonable price to purchase a new one.
We have three, have had them for a couple of years and have not had any issues with them.

New User U

BEST ANSWER: this device has great volume. when we have it at top volume on this bluetooth device we can manage volume in the car in a way that leaves room without having to blow out the speakers. there is a different between audio volume for music/podcasts and phone calls. we have found phone calls we need to raise the vehicle volume as it tends to be lower - but there is plenty of volume "cap space" that allows for the raise in volume.

BEST ANSWER: this device has great volume. when we have it at top volume on this bluetooth device we can manage volume in the car in a way that leaves room without having to blow out the speakers. there is a different between audio volume for music/podcasts and phone calls. we have found phone calls we need to raise the vehicle volume as it tends to be lower - but there is plenty of volume "cap space" that allows for the raise in volume.

How is the quality of the built-in microphone on this device? I know reviewers say the sound quality is good..no one has mentioned anything about the microphone quality for phone calls. Also are there any random disconnects from your cellphone? Thanks to those how are able to reply.

Is there a user manual off download? I could not find it. All the sudden my device won't pair with my phone. Wondering if there is a reset button operation of this device. Or do I have e-waste to get rid of.

Would this be fast enough for gaming (Nintendo Switch)?

Great investment for older audio devices.
Amazing little device. Allows me to stream Bluetooth audio to all my older devices.

Does What It's Supposed to Do
Bad combination: a new smartphone which doesn't have a headphone jack and an old car which doesn't have Bluetooth. The Monoprice Bluetooth 5 Receiver/Car Kit allows me to play music stored on my phone through my car's sound system. Easy setup, paired with my phone in seconds. Easy to use. Plug it into my car stereo's Aux jack, open my phone's music player and it works. Drop a star for slight loss of bass. Otherwise, I love this little thing.

Works Really Well
This little piece is surprisingly good. It's easy to connect and sounds great.
4 Stars because there is a bit of a buzzing noise periodically, but that does go away when I jiggle it while plugged in.
Overall very good for BT connectivity.

Great wireless adapter
This is the best bluetooth adapter I've used in my car that lacks a bluetooth connected stereo. No channel switching or hissing/static like you get with the radio-style transmitters. Easy to set up. Sound is as clear as if you had plugged in an AUX cord.

Pleased with sound quality. Decent price. Converts Bluetooth audio to line level output, and has a mic for phone calls.
Product has a 3.5mm input jack and comes with a male to male adapter. The microphone worked well for phone calls without feedback. It is also possible to charge this unit while in use without any noticeable noise. Definitely recommend it if your car has an audio input jack and no Bluetooth. Especially so if your phone doesn't have a headphone jack.

So far, So good
I use this in live performance to drop the cable between my iPad and PA. Seems to work well and has long battery life. Recommended.

Works as advertised
I got this to stream Bluetooth audio from a projector to an older audio receiver. Mission accomplished -- it works well! It's a simple device. I don't ask or expect there to be something "above and beyond" about it.
