joyride Wireless Bluetooth Remote

Excellent!

This is a well-made, good looking media controller for Bluetooth audio. It uses a standard Bluetooth protocol, meaning it can be paired to your phone or an audio player or a laptop to control transport functions like forward, reverse, pause, next, previous and volume. It works reliably on the several devices I tested it on, and it’s powered by a button cell battery. I haven’t been able to verify battery life, but it is almost certainly quite long because it’s only really drawing any substantial power during button presses. It comes with some simple mounting options, which seem to be of quality and look like they’ll hold up. The price is very reasonable too. There is competition for this type of device all over Amazon, but after researching those, this seemed like a standout, especially at the price, and I’m quite happy with the look and the build quality and the functionality. If you need something like this, you really can’t go wrong with this one.
