11111My 43 Yr Old Marantz Is Now a Bluetooth Receiver
Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2018
I recently purchased a Marantz 2015 stereo receiver. This thing was built in 1974-75. It’s is a great sounding work of art. It’s a beautiful machine.
I play music from my iPhone 6S through the receiver with an RCA cable hooked up to the 2015’s tape 1 input. I wanted to cut the cord. So, based on reviews I bought the B06 BT receiver. I plugged it in. Turned it on. My phone found it immediately.
I plugged it into the 2015’s “switched” outlet in it’s back. So, when I turn off the unit the B06 also turns off.
Easy peasy.
So far it works really well.

11111This is a Truly Excellent Bluetooth Receiver and is Extremely Easy to Use
Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2018
This Bluetooth Receiver, Hi-Fi Wireless Audio Adapter, 1Mii Bluetooth 4.2 Adapter with 3D Surround aptX Low Latency for Home Music Streaming Stereo System (Upgraded Version with Power Adapter) is a truly excellent Bluetooth receiver.
Formerly I had a computer attached to my Logitech Compact Speaker System Z320 for Notebooks which are excellent powered speakers (though they have been discontinued and you do not want to buy them now at the insanely high price dealers are asking).
Because of certain aesthetics in our home, my wife wanted me to get rid of that computer and install a Bluetooth receiver in its place. (The speakers are in our foyer and she detested that a computer was installed there. I guess I can’t blame her. The computer really did look out of place.)
So, in the spirit of “a happy wife is a happy life,” I ordered this Bluetooth receiver from Amazon the other day and I am very glad that I did.
The sound produced from those speakers is at least the equal of what I heard via the computer and the ease of use, convenience, and aesthetics of having a Bluetooth receiver instead of a computer in our foyer is much more acceptable to her.
This particular receiver has Bluetooth 4.2 plus AptX. Regarding sound quality over Bluetooth transmission at this time, that’s as good as it gets.
Setup could not have been easier. I didn’t even look at the instructions (which are written in “Chinglish”) until after I had the unit up and running.
I connect its power supply to a switched outlet. When I activate the outlet, this receiver turns on instantly.
First pairing was almost instantaneous. (And, as with most other devices of this type, you only have to initially pair it one time. Then it “remembers” your connection.)
And now the connection to my cell phone is automatic and occurs practically instantly.
Reception is excellent, as good as with any other Bluetooth receiver I own (and I own quite a few of them).
There are two “levels” of sound quality. When the large round LED shows blue, that is “regular” sound. When the “3D” button is pressed the LED glows green and the sound is enhanced. I have been using the 3D effect exclusively. To my ears, it sound better that way. (You, of course, may disagree.)
Though I am currently using this particular Bluetooth receiver in our foyer with different powered computer speakers ( Samson MediaOne M30 3″ Powered Studio Monitors (Pair) which sound much better than the Logitechs ([and are connected via AmazonBasics 2-Male to 2-Male RCA Audio Cable – 4 Feet , a capability that not all Bluetooth modules have]), it can be used with just about any audio system. It comes complete with cords enabling attachment to 3.5mm devices as well as to those, such as a receiver (any my amplified speakers), which have RCA connections. (I tried it temporarily with my ‘main’ sound system, which consists of, among other things, a Yamaha A-S701BL Natural Sound Integrated Stereo Amplifier (Black) ‘feeding’ a pair of Klipschorns, and it produced sound quality indistinguishable from the ‘higher-end’ AudioTech Bluetooth receiver I use in that system.)
It has no internal battery; it operates via AC power only. Its power cord is such that it can be use in a car via the car’s powered USB port or with a ENERGIZER 120W Cup Inverter 12V DC cigarette lighter to 120V AC to power laptop notebook & more w/ 4 USB ports 2.1A shared compatible with iPad & more or a Car Charger Quick Charge 3.0 RAVPower 40W 3A Car Adapter with Dual QC USB Ports for iPhone X / 8 / 8 Plus, iPad Pro 2017, Google Pixel, Sumsung Galaxy Note 8 / S9 / S8 / S8 Plus / S7 and More . So while it has no battery, it can still be used almost anywhere. It can even be powered via one of those Anker 2nd-Gen Astro E5 High-Capacity 16750mAh 3A Portable External Battery Charger with PowerIQ Technology for iPhone, iPad, Nintendo Switch and More or similar.
What more can I say? It is a superb piece of equipment and I like it very much (plus my wife is pleased too) and I give it my highest recommendation.
Thank you for reading this.

11111Best BT device to date.
Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2018
Works exactly as advertised. I use it inside and outside to run a modified 1967 jukebox. It is impossible to tell the difference in sound quality between a direct connection and this BT device. I use a noise filter, but I am not certain it is needed for this receiver. The filter is mainly used to filter out noise from the florescent lights inside the jukebox. Over the last 3 years, I have tried several different manufactures of BT receivers and this is the best yet.

111115.0 out of 5 stars Toller BT-Empfänger mit sehr guter Preis-Leistung
Reviewed in Germany on February 29, 2020
Das Empfangsgerät erfüllt alle meine Erwartungen. Ich habe jahrelang von einem Logitech-BT-Adapter (älteres Modell) Gebrauch gemacht und war an für sich immer sehr zufrieden. Leider kommen hier auch im aktuellen Modell keine aktuellen BT-Technologien zum Einsatz, welche bekanntermaßen ab Version 4 bereits einen signifikant geringeren Energiebedarf zur Aufrechterhaltung der Verbindung haben. Außerdem wollte ich vermeiden für einen weiteren Netzstecker Platz schaffen zu müssen. Daher habe ich mich für dieses Gerät entschieden.
+ energiesparende BT-Technologie
+ Stabile Verbindung
+ aptX-Unterstützung (aptX-LL und aptX-HD)
+ Sehr gute Klangqualität (inkl. 3D-Sound-Switch)
+ Sehr gute Verarbeitungsqualität
+ Spannungsversorgung über USB möglich (ACHTUNG: Netzteil nicht um Lieferumfang enthalten)
+ Preis-Leistung ist top
• Design muss man mögen, aber LED-Beleuchtung gefällt
– bisher nichts negatives

11111Not the most secure
Reviewed in Canada on July 14, 2020
Sound quality is decent after all bluetooth is not the best for high quality audio anyways. Set up was fairly simple however if more then 1 device in the home has bluetooth enabled it will default to a random connection half the time and not the one that is connected eg closest to it only way to fix this is to power cycle the B06+ which can be annoying if its tucked away out of sight.
Volume control is not the best either.
Range is good if in Line of Sight but the moment you take your phone out of the room about a 50% chance it will stay connected with the same audio quality often it breaks up.
Would not recommend this product if used in commercial space or appartment building. As anyone can connect without the ablity to set a password.
