Great sound, but serious power issues — batteries don’t work!

💬 Explanation:

The sound quality is excellent — clear, powerful, and professional. But there’s a serious issue with power. I tried the included batteries, my own ones, and even expensive Energizers — none of them work at all. The device only works if you connect an extra power source through the USB-C port or another phone. When the phone goes into sleep mode, the power drops and you have to lower the volume a lot. Apart from that, everything works and sounds great, but the fact that it doesn’t run on batteries is a big drawback.

Good sounding unit, it’s stereo ( it’s little brother isn’t) the unit feels good in the hand, all connections are tight and positive, I’m a synthesist and using this from a stereo out from a mixing desk, going to an iPhone 16 Pro, I had some issues at first with my phone, for example I’d plug it into the unit and a second or so later a pop up on my phone “are you using a charger or an accessory” but if only popped up so missed it! Oops, repeat , but then it never popped up again, anyway tried recording, it had recorded my phone mic, eventually realising by accident that you have to connect everything up, then open the camera on the phone, that way your audio from your mixer will record, if you open your camera then connect the unit ,it will record your mic.
Just a heads up 👌
If you want to livestream with your phone etc from a mixer it’s good, experiment with setting levels on your mixer etc as it’s easy to distort the unit,
Quality and results = 5 star ⭐️
