★★★★★ The B06 Bluetooth adapter was about as easy to install as possible. Literally done in under 5 minutes, and I was up and running. I'm kicking myself for waiting so long to buy a blue tooth adapter for my stereo, not that I have it. Plug it in. 30 seconds to connect to the blue tooth, and I'm blasting my tunes from my I-phone and controlling it anywhere in my house, including my balcony. Great product! Be aware you will need RCA cables if you want to plug this directly into your audio outputs. It only comes with an RCA pin cable.

★★★☆☆ Not sure how to tell if this is really using Bluetooth 5 or not, but I don't think it is. I don't see a difference in power consumption between connecting to this with my iPhone 12 Pro Max and my older Logitech BT Audio Receiver which uses Bluetooth 3. My phone certainly supports BT 5, but after running the phone streaming to the device (no calls, no other activity use on the phone, just sitting on the desk with screen off transmitting a playlist at 100% volume to the BT receiver) I have the exact same battery life percentage left on my phone after an 8 hour stint of transmitting to this receiver as when transmitting to the BT 3 Logitech device.I also feel like there might be more pronounced audio compression artifacts in the music than is noticeable on my Logitech BT receiver. I have not tested this side by side with the Logitech device, but I started noticing what sounds like harsher high ends such as cymbals. I feel like the "essing" is more distorted rather than a crisp, clean cymbal crash for example with a slow fading roll-off. Instead the cymbal crash feels noisier and ends more abruptly. I get that BT is not what you should use when you are chasing audio fidelity, but I would think over time things like this should improve, not get worse. Perhaps it has nothing to do with the iterative changes in BT technology, but instead maybe cheaper components in this device vs. the Logitech. Either way this is very subjective and I have neither the means or motivation to do an in-depth comparison and if I did, it would still be a bit apples to oranges.Additionally, the RCA jacks on the device are recessed to the point of almost being flush with the back of the unit. This limits you from using a more common plastic shrouded RCA cable found these days as the cable cannot slide over the jacks completely. I had to dig out a set of RCA cables from the 1980's that had thin metal outside sleeves that could fit over the RCA jacks and slide in past the case housing. How the crap did this aspect make it out of testing? (Sorry, I presumed even cheap Chinese goods would undergo even 5 minutes of testing before they chugged out 50 million units.) Just try and find an older style RCA cable like that these days. That leaves you stuck with using the included 3.5 mm to RCA cable. If you have a fancy set of high-end RCA cables made anytime in the last 20 years, they will likely not connect to this. Take a look at the pictures of the back to see what I am talking about.Add to what other reviewers have stated about the hostile-takeover nature of the BT connection and this device starts to become annoying very quickly. If you plan on using this with an older audio component, you would be best served by plugging it into the switched power supply on the back of the component (if your device has one) or else putting it on a power strip or the like that has a on/off switch so you can power this down when not in use to prevent this from hijacking every other BT connection you have. Because it will drop every other connection and constantly reconnect to the Mii B06 whether you want it to or not.

★★★★☆ Can't connect it through Bluetooth. I have many similar Bluetooth receivers and was hoping this was going to replace all of these but connectivity doesn't work. Lights are intermittent (red and blue) but the device is not found through scanning. Wasted my money since the time for return is already closed.Update 1. In additional efforts to connect with this product, I found out that connection was a bit different than other Bluetooth devices. I had to find the available device rather than making the connection trough the regular scan and match. Tested the device and works well after connection. Updated my rank from 1 to 4 stars.
