Make "Bluetooth Wireless Audio Receiver" a companion to the new iPod nano: Let's try some "little" guys

7th generation iPod nano.The 4th generation iPod nano, which I have been using for a long time, was forced to retire due to the catastrophe of washing clothes with the iPod in my pocket.

Recently, my long-time favorite 4th generation iPod nano broke, so I replaced it with the latest model. The 7th generation iPod nano has many attractions such as a 2.5-inch display that supports multi-touch, buttons that allow you to play / pause / change songs, and a thin body that feels good to the touch, but I'm happy that it supports Bluetooth. It was a point.

I thought that I could use my longing Bluetooth earphones with this, but I changed my mind after I met a Bluetooth speaker at a hotel on a business trip. I want a speaker that can listen to music on my iPod. When I had the 4th generation, I was wondering if I could buy a speaker that could connect to the Dock connector, but wireless is still much more convenient.

However, buying a Bluetooth-enabled speaker just for this is a hassle. In the first place, there is no place to put a new speaker in my room where I live in my parents' house. We need to consider another approach.

「Bluetooth ワイヤレスオーディオレシーバー」を新iPod nanoの相棒にする:なんだか“ちっこい”ヤツを試してみよう

So, we introduced the "Bluetooth wireless audio receiver" of Shanghai wholesaler. This product is a music receiver that supports Bluetooth 3.0 connection, and when you connect an audio device such as an AV amplifier or active speaker, you can wirelessly connect to a Bluetooth-compatible smartphone or portable audio device. I had an MD component system in my room, so I decided to connect it to this speaker.

"Bluetooth wireless audio receiver" sold at Shanghai wholesaler (photo = left). I connected to the MD component system that was covered with dust in the room. I bought it about 10 years ago, and I used to listen to music on MD until high school (I also listened to the radio), but after I became a university student, I started listening to music on my PC and hadn't used it for a long time ( Photo = right, taken by the author)

The main body size is about 89 (width) x 77 (depth) x 30 (height) mm. It's small enough to fit on a speaker and doesn't take up much space. The output has a simple structure with only two systems, analog (3.5 mm stereo mini) and optical digital. It has a calm design with a black tone, and I like the fact that it doesn't feel strange when placed side by side with an MD component system. Let's use it now.

The output is equipped with two systems, analog (3.5 mm stereo mini) and optical digital. There is no power button (photo = left). AC adapter, RCA cable, etc. are included (photo = right)

When the main unit is connected to the AC adapter, the lamp on the front blinks and the terminal can be searched. After that, you can perform pairing operation on the Bluetooth setting screen of the terminal. I tried connecting with a 3.5mm stereo mini, but it worked fine and the music on my iPod started playing.

After all, it's great to listen to iPod music anywhere in the room. Playing iPod music while rumbling in bed ... This is it, I wanted to do this. It can also be used on smartphones, tablets, and laptops that support Bluetooth, so it is also suitable when you want to listen to music played on a tablet or laptop at a loud volume.

If you want to listen with higher sound quality, you can use the optical digital connection (optical digital cable is sold separately). I also tried an optical digital connection, but unfortunately I couldn't really feel the difference between the two. If the digital input on the speaker (amplifier) ​​side is coaxial, a converter is required.

When connected to the AC adapter, the LED lamp on the front of the main unit lights up (photo = left). Pair with the Blueotooth connection settings on your iPod. This product is recognized as a Music Receiver. You need to enter the PIN code after selecting the device (photo = right)

The price is 4999 yen. The simple mechanism may seem a bit expensive, but it's cheaper than buying a new Blueotooth-enabled speaker. Especially if you bought a 7th generation iPod nano, or if you have components or speakers that you no longer use, check it out. It is also recommended for people who want to use higher quality speakers instead of the built-in speakers when playing music on tablets and laptops.

As for me, I decided to use it to listen to quiet music before going to bed. It was ideal to listen to anime songs at a loud volume, but when I tried it, I gave up because his sister in the next room scolded me a lot. Should I think about living alone ...?
