Conclusion

The Shozy BT-10 has made me re-evaluate Bluetooth audio.

In any sort of noisy environment I feel like the sound quality tradeoff here is worth it, since being able to keep this dongle in one pocket while you fiddle with your phone in another is super convenient.

The key factor is how little you give up – because the BT-10 sounds great even by wired standards.

Its heavy for a dongle, but using it for Bluetooth its not attached to your phone so that’s less of a factor. I would’ve loved a tiny screen showing current battery life & volume level, just a minor quibble.

Sonically it’s very punchy & engaging which will suit Pop & fast-paced genres perfectly, whereas if you’re more of a Classical listener something with a bit more refinement might be preferable.

Its an impressive gadget, and now that I’m in the habit of pairing it to my Macbook whilst walking around the office without a cord it’s hard to go back to being tethered!

It goes without saying the BT-10’s also a window into the future as Bluetooth solutions become more sophisticated & sonically satisfying.

Bad news for the cable industry, good news for those craving wireless freedom without compromise.
