Bluetooth Speaker With Remote Volume Control

[20 Hours (BT)] Love the headphones. Bluetooth connects easily. I can control music , volume and accept or end calls. Magnetic connections are a good touch. It help them stay put when not using.

[2] Used it for a while now indoors and out, everyone loved it when I used it at a party. Great Base and volume. Only wish the speaker came with a remote control

[50 Kilohms ] A week into this amplifier and I’m pleased with its performance and value.  The A-S301 replaces a Denon PMA-600NE which I had -- briefly.  The main problem with the Denon was the dodgy motorized volume control.  Like the motorized volume control on the A-S301, it rotates clockwise from about 7:00 to 5:00 either by hand or by using the remote.  The problems with the Denon were (1) it had almost no volume between 7:00 and about 8:30, and then the volume came on with a rush and (2) the steps using the remote were too coarse (an online review of a Marantz amplifier – same parent company – noted the same things).  I was curious how the Yamaha volume control would work, but I need not have worried.  I stuck a little orange dot on the volume knob and it was easy to tell that both the knob movement and the volume levels were aligned, and that the amplifier was capable of fine adjustment manually or with the remote.  The other nice feature about the A-S301 (and its siblings) is the loudness control.  I haven’t needed it much for contemporary CDs or FLAC files, but recently I got some FLACs and CDs of re-mastered Arturo Toscanini/NBC Symphony recordings from the early 1950s. These are mono, but adjusting both the volume and loudness greatly improved the listening experience.  Kudos to Yamaha for that feature at this price point.  I’m using a pair of Polk ES15 speakers, which is a combination that several online reviews recommend.  I also have a Polk XT10 down-firing subwoofer. My living room is not large, and the Yamaha/Polk setup makes for a very good listening experience.  The only thing I miss from the Denon is the built-in Bluetooth for listening.  I like to play music from the speakers, and also use a pair of on-ear headphones around inside the house.  I still haven’t found a good solution for that, but it certainly wasn’t a deal breaker. Taking all into consideration, and as others have noted, the A-S301 punches way above its weight.

[0.22 lb] Works perfect! I was even able to get it to control tv volume, my old remote was supposed to be able to but it never worked. This one connected easily. Price was fair, shipping was fast and it was exactly as described.

[Class-D] Using this to control wall speaker volume remotely to a stereo receiver in the next room. Works great working at line levels without having to have a huge high-powered speaker L-pad in the wall that eventually gets scratchy sounding and dead spots. Made by RDL which I've used in many custom installations in the past. Very reliable products, practically bulletproof! Had to get 2 for stereo.

[2-Way] As there is no volume twirl on it, which is located in the back of the speaker, and probably that is the only con of these speakers (but maybe not because they look the same) I set it on the middle from the back - 50%, and I control the sound volume from my pc's keyboard, I am using it around 20-30% of the system volume. It has a really good quality audio and can get really really loud!

[5.3] [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really loving this speaker and the retro look. Its very intuitive to use and set up. The volume and equalizer control knobs on top are easy to use and I prefer over push button adjustments. IMO the best part is having it connected to the WiFi and setting it up with Google assistant. When it is set up on the WiFi it is always ready for action and you don’t have to initiate Bluetooth everytime you want to use it. Google assist allows you to control the speaker completely hands free. It has the perfect amount of bass and a very rich sound. Would highly recommend this speaker. There is not really any negative aspects, except maybe the volume knob feels a little cheap plasticky. Love it!!

[12.2 oz / 347 g] Finally a native wirelesses remote control for an Olympus/OM System camera. Great for long exposures, self portraits and time-lapse. Keep in mind that if the remote control is connected via bluetooth the remote camera application on your phone will not work simultaneously, likewise you can not get GPS data from your phone via bluetooth. It is fully compatible only with OM-1 (works both wireless and wired). However, it can also work wired with certain older Olympus cameras (OM-D mk II &III, OM-D E-M1X). Its range is around 20-25 feet, it is an IP57 dustproof and splashproof rated construction.
