Taking them off for a minute or two is all you need to get back to your listening pleasure.

One common source of praise is the fact that customers are able to modernize their old cars with a simple gadget. The ability to receive and make calls along with being able to play music from your smartphone provides great convenience to such customers.

Cons and Issues

Some issues are present that may be bothersome. The microphone quality of the device can hinder the call quality. This is because it does not have noise and echo cancellation so it works fine for quick calls but it is not recommended for longer ones. There are a few cases where the results were not satisfactory for the users.

Some felt that the sound quality drops when it is being used from a distance. This normally occurs in cases where the Mpow Bluetooth Receiver is being used at home rather than a car where the range of the device is hardly tested. Apart from this, there have been some reports of pairing issues where the devices simply refuse to pair all of a sudden.

Verdict

The Mpow Bluetooth Receiver remains a good performer with some limitations. Still at its price point, this pocket sized dynamo definitely packs a punch.
