Many of us have heard the term "Bluetooth®"

The 1Mii B03 is a Bluetooth®

I’m now able to listen to the satellite radio programming on either my PYLE PBMSQG9 compact and portable Bluetooth® speaker system, or my Mixcder HD901 Bluetooth® headsets. Both these items will be featured in a future column of THE GADGETEER.

The 1Mii B03 comes with all the necessary cables and a USB power supply. What surprised me was they even included an optical cable for those sound purists that have such a need. Pairing your device to the transmitter is a simple one-button process. I’ve included an overview of the control functions below. In some cases it’s possible to pair two devices, however this does decrease the signal strength and can result in signal dropouts. There is a PRO version that appears to be made for the Japanese market claiming a slightly increased signal range spec and may be available by third party vendors on-line.

The manufacturer claims reception of up to 230´ line-of-sight and 80-110´ indoors. The results in my condo environment, with many walls, proved more like 30´ before signal dropout issues surfaced. Again, walls, fixed obstacles and sharp turns may affect the signal’s path causing signal dropout. Positioning of the 1Mii and readjusting the antenna angle could improve this. Also repositioning, if practical, the receiving device could improve reception as well. All-in-all, the 1Mii B03 is a useful device in expanding your listening pleasure to Bluetooth® compatible devices such as iPhones, Ipads, computers, tablets, smartphones, stereo systems, sound bars and portable Bluetooth® speaker systems. It’s certainly well worth the investment to expand your listening pleasure!!!
