I have a favorite pair of headphones. They fit my ears perfectly, they don’t hurt, they don’t fall out, and they have great sound. They have a mic and sound controls. There’s a button to pause my music. They are wired so it’s one less thing to charge. And because they are wired, people can immediately see when I have them on and are less likely to interrupt me. The only con is that sometimes, I just need to be further than 2ft from my phone – which is about the limit on wired headphones.
I have tried multiple low-end, low-cost and high-end, high-cost bluetooth headphones but none of them fit me well. I also realized while traveling, that if I only had my bluetooth headphones I would have run out of battery and the portable DVD player I was using did not have bluetooth support.
Enter the bluetooth audio adapter. A google search returned more than 230 Million results. So I did my research, and decided to try out the Apexx Audio Adapter.
This tiny device is slightly larger than a quarter but works fantastic! All you have to do is plug in your wired 3.5mm headphone and step away from your phone.
It charges via micro USB and lasts for about 7-9 hours. I was able to pair it quickly with my Samsung Note 8. The controls allow me to pause my media, skip or reverse and control the volume. I can answer and end calls with a push of the middle button. It has a clip on the back if you want to clip it to your shirt or jeans pocket, or just drop it into your pocket.
I can now leave my phone on the counter and move around the kitchen while still listening to my music or audiobooks. No more accidentally dropping the phone when I have to rush to save a glass from tipping over the table. The phone can also stay safely in my purse vs falling out of my pocket when I’m out and about. I can leave the phone plugged into the charger and still be able to step away from it listening to my tunes.
Finally, I like having this option vs bluetooth only, so that I still have the option to use a wired headphone which doesn’t require batteries to charge before I can use them. The best part is I don’t need to try out another hundreds of pairs of bluetooth headphones and pay more to find ones I like. I already have them!
