After comparing the sound quality of my JBL CD unit and the bluefusion from my iPhone 5 I hear some static with the Bluefusion and crystal clear from my JBL CD unit. Anyone? (same song from same file for comparison) Also my mic goes nutz when the car...

There should be no difference in audio quality as the Bluefusion utilizes your car stereo's system. As with any Bluetooth car kit, the troubleshooting is as follows: 1. Delete the current pairing and re-pair the Bluefusion with your phone, sometimes a bad Bluetooth connection can cause issues. 2. Pair the Bluefusion with another (different) phone to see if you can duplicate the problem, if you can, it is likely an issue with the Bluefusion, if you can't, it has something to do with the phone and it's pairing with the Bluefusion, it might need an update on either the phone or/and the Bluefusion. If there is still issues, you will need to contact Scosche Tech Support.

For acoustic concert, this is a terrible camera. iPhone4 has a better sound quality than this. However, I'm wondering if the sound quality would get better with an external microphone. Anybody has had any experience on this?

I didn't notice. No one has ever told me that I sounded muffled. When I use shazam, it doesn't seem to be picking up much sound though (determined from the shazam icon's lack of movement on the app when looking for a song). However, I tested other people's shazam's and there doesn't seem to be a difference in how fast or how slow my phone was able to pick up songs compared to theirs.

I have that same issue, I thought at first it was coming from the show I was watching but that wasn't the case. I'm debating on returning it for a replacement. The static can be quite annoying at times...

I have IOS 6.0 on my 4S and still had a problem with badly garbled audio. I think that I have finally solved the mystery - at least mine. I use an older Linksys router for my local net. It transmits at 2.4GHZ and Bluetooth is close to that. Since the Bluetooth signal is nowhere near as powerful as the router, I was apparently experiencing interference. My signal is great if I turn off the WiFi connection on the phone OR if I make sure that the iPhone is always within two feet of the Panasonic base.Incidently, I was able to pair the iPhone 4S and my wifes older Samsung with no problem I have IOS 6.0 on my 4S and still had a problem with badly garbled audio.

The are both the same crappy MP3 format!! If you care about audio quality you will use Apple Lossless. The trouble is this prevents you from D/L Songs or Albums. The best way is to buy the CD and rip it to iTunes. You can change the format you rip it in "Preferences" on iTunes....Import...format. You can however go to HDtracks.com and get great Audio Quality D/L's although their selection is not probably what you are looking for and more expensive than just buy the CD. Magoo I know D/L is convenient but it returns horrible quality!!!!! Take any CD you know very well and rip a song or two to iTunes in Apple LossLess. Then D/L that same song(s) and you should be able to easily hear the difference! If you just want background noise then continue to D/L the MP3's. Life is all about priorities!!! Magoo

Honestly? No, it's not better* but almost all the time it's "as good as" at least as far as my ears can tell. There are really two parts to this question. The Bluetooth connection only gets the sound to* the FM transmitter. It then depends on having a radio frequency available without interference. I have one in Minneapolis that I never have to change on a daily basis. Only when I've driven more than a couple of hours away from the Metro area have I needed to. What I like about this product is being able to go wireless. That's more important to me than occasional static. Hope this answers your question.

I had a similar problem my daughter and I had both paired our iPhones to the JBL speaker and what we had to do was turn off one So the other could connect or just disable Bluetooth for the one that you do not want to stream music from. Try that it may help

I love my music loud as well. I have my iPhone volume up to about halfway between the middle and the loudest and you can't hear anything besides the music. No outer interference or anything. It's like you're in your own little world of music. Bass is pretty good as well in my opinion.

Check you phone's BT settings. Sometimes the box for media is unchecked on the phone bluetooth entry for the headset. This happened to me once -the phone was working and the music wasn't. I opened BT settings and saw that the box for media for my earphones was unchecked. Once I checked it --the music flowed smoothly!

This unit does not come with the A2DP capibility. ie, you can't bluetooth your music or calls from your Apple or Android phone. It has a mic that plugs in to the back. My son did a professional installation and the mic is up by the visor with no wires showing and the mic very clean and clear when talking to someone. I use an old iPhone 3 for an iPod and play all my music through it and hidden in the glove box. This unit does not have a CD player but has the capability to hook up a disk changer. This unit has very clean graphics. If you want a unit with the A2DP, look and compare with the other Kenwoods. Can't good wrong.

Funny thing when I use my new B&W; p7 headphone , the music sound very flat not dynamic ,but if loaded the same song into a smart phone which has Dobly sound and through a sony BH52(Bluetooth) ,wow sound very alive & dynamic .

Exact same thing just happened to me. I'm disappointed since there are so many great reviews, and this looks like a great CD player. But mine must be defective. Sending back to amazon today

Is the thump input a balanced xlr? If it is, it should be fine. Set the iphone to a mid to low level and boost the volume on the amp side to prevent distortion. If allowing others to connect, make sure their device is set low first before.

I've seen many reviews on different bluetooth headsets and the same complaints are with itunes not working right.......evidently it may be something with itunes, not your PC.

same problem... at low volumes with ipod touch 2nd gen. it has a terribly obnoxious static... nothing i do seems to correct the problem. using line in, it sounds great, but that kind of defeats the purpose of the system.
