However, a significant number of customers reported issues with sound quality, experiencing static and weak signal strength, impacting overall reception. Some also felt the price was too high for the performance received. The product's performance appears to be inconsistent, with positive experiences overshadowed by widespread concerns about audio quality.

Works great-when you can get reception

I'm sure this product probably works better in larger areas. However, if you live in a smaller area, it's harder to keep and maintain good reception. Static is an issue frequently.

If you have an older vehicle that did not come with a BT system this is for you. It works flawlessly. The only limitation is you only get 3 frequencies to choose from.

Hit or Miss

I originally wasn't super pumped for the price but thought it would be worth it since it has a mic. Got it, was overly excited that I threw away the box because I didn't think I would need it only to discover the mic doesn't work. It's a hit or miss and only works when needed (more misses than hits really). Talked to a best buy associate hoping it was just the device and apparently that's just how it is. It's a great bluetooth adaptor (the only reason it's getting 2 stars) but the mic doesn't work properly and not worth the money I spent.

If I could rate this no stars, i would! If I owned this company id sell it and get whatever money I could and run....trash! They have pre selected stations and do not allow you to scan and change for different states.

Bought this for my truck to get Bluetooth. The unit has only a few preset stations you can use, but there wasn't any way to get it to work without major static. Phone calls have so much static you can't hear person on other line. Audio for music was just as bad. Thought because it was expensive it would be good, but it turned out to be expensive paperweight.

A total waste of money if you want to hear good audio in your car. Total cheap way to go. I returned and saved my money for a kenwood car stereo. This is junk, pure and simple.

Not enough station options

Okay for the price paid. Living in a metro area I wish it had several more frequency options as every frequency available has a local radio station, Had to compromise with some intermittency and choose weakest local station.

If unit did not have to be paired every time you enter the car it would be a lot better Also offer more frequencies

This is the worst $60 I have ever spent. The sound quality is terrible. You get nothing but static interference. Stay away from this product it is worthless.

Expensive For The Features

Product does what it advertises but it is rather expensive considering the feature set it offers.
I bought it out of necessity as I couldn't wait for an online delivery but I know of better options available online which offer additional features such as responding to phone calls, play, move between tracks, etc. for a fraction of the cost and the same audio quality.
Only if the product turns out to be durable (I have only had it for 1 month) it might be a good alternative otherwise it is not an option I would recommend.

I love this. It works well. I had to mount the Bluetooth to my dash with a 3m strip because it kept sliding off. I did that and no problems now

This one constantly struggled to stay locked into the station. It was not enjoyable at all to listen to - or TRY to listen to my songs.

Got this for a long trip because our car doesn't have an aux jack.
It worked great in areas where there weren't too many radio stations, because you could always find a frequency that wasn't being used (as long as you had phone service or songs saved to your phone).
Not as clear in DFW, because all 4 frequencies available to the Blustream were being used. Signal wasn't as clear then.

I was very interested to add hands-free for our truck. Decided not to use the unit. I didn't want to eliminate radio options or cause confusion while driving.
