Bluetooth Audio Transmitters & Receivers

Frequently asked questions

What is Bluetooth 5.0?

Bluetooth is the wireless communication method our headphones and earphones use to play your audio, but it comes in different "Versions". Older Bluetooth 4.0+ versions are around half the speed and capacity as modern Bluetooth 5.0+ versions. Bluetooth 5.0 also supports up to 30ms of latency natively, without needing aptX LL like Bluetooth 4.0+ did.

What do the LEDs Mean?

On our MR range of adapters a flashing red and blue LED always indicated pairing mode. Please hold the device close to the desired connection whilst in pairing mode until the LED goes blue.

What is aptX, aptX-LL and aptX-HD?

aptX is a Bluetooth codec upgrade from Qualcomm which was prevalent in the Bluetooth 4.0 era. Many Bluetooth 4 products will have these additional protocols. aptX increases stability, aptX-LL lowers latency and aptX-HD allows HD audio. For Bluetooth 5.0+, all these features are included as standard.

Are These Suitable for Metal Detectors?

Yes! We actually have many customers who pair the EP650 headphones with an MR230 to use with thier metal detectors. If your metal detector has Bluetooth built-in then skip the adapter and use a pair of EP650 headphones directly.
