Bluetooth 5.4 low latency

Bluetooth 5.4 with adaptive frequency hopping delivers CD-quality audio up to 33 feet while blocking Wi-Fi and microwave interference. Low latency keeps lip-sync tight during movies and gaming sessions. Physical buttons give direct volume control without touching the source device. The link remains stable throughout extended viewing periods.

Transmitter and receiver modes

A side switch selects TX mode to send audio from an airplane seat or TV to headphones, or RX mode to stream phone audio into a car aux-in for music and hands-free calls. Built-in HD microphone with noise cancellation keeps calls clear on noisy roads. The unit charges via USB-C and runs on 5 volts direct current.
