User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Cheap for the best ever mp3 car palyer
Five stars rating isn’t enough to justify the quality of sound and features. Yhis modulator is far better than any other semilar devices as you can do whatever you wish to do specially bookmarking which saves time and provide comfortable non-disturbed driving.
Go ahead and buy it you won’t regrit it
5 Stars What a great FM transmitter.
I’ve had an VR3 FM USB Car Transmitter for two years. It had no remote unlike the Soundfly, but I loved using it. However, there were things that I found most
frustrating when using it and I didn’t realise this until after I’d purchased it.
VR3 MP3 Player FM Transmitter frustrations:
1) It wouldn’t remember where I last was listening to.
2) I couldn’t fast forward nor rewind. Arrgh! You could only skip between tracks. This was frustrating because I have a habit of rewinding to listen to parts of my audio tracks again and again and of course I can’t fast forward through averts. It was especially frustrating because of point 1 above as I would always have to start listening from the beginning of a track. Particularly annoying when listening to long tracks.
3) No remote – Please note most FM transmitters don’t come with FF or RW functions on the remote’s either.
4) It was white and it was ugly.
5) Limited frequency range. A lot of these devices only allow you turn use the upper and lower FM frequency ranges.
6) It takes USB dongles and SD cards but the SD cards are limited to 2GB.
Now for the Soundfly SD:
1) The SoundFly SD remembers exactly where you were last listening to. This is so refreshing as I can just turn off the car and when I next climb back in and start the car, with the SoundFly SD plugged into the car lighter socket, it just starts right of from where I left last. Awesome! Bear in mind I have a new model car less than four years old, but a lot of these devices just die when a car is started and the device has been accidentally left in. I’ve not had a single problem with using the Soundly this way, and I believe I have no reason to worry about it. You even have a bookmarking facility.
2) I can fast forward and rewind to my hearts content. Even with the remote.
3) The remote is is actually quite handy, especially when driving. You can certainly use the controls on the device itself, but the remote is easier. It’s not too difficult to remember the position of the keypad buttons, so using the remote while driving is quite easy. Don’t crash.
4) This FM transmitter is black. The device itself is a heck of a lot more attractive than the VR3 I have. It’s even smaller.
5) You can tune into all the FM frequency range in single steps, so there’s no shortage of places to find a gap in the FM range. The Soundfly can remember up to seven bookmarked spots. As for the strength of the FM transmitter, it’s certainly no worse than the VR3. But unlike the VR3 I have a much broader spectrum of FM frequencies to try to find a clear spot. Much better.
6) The device takes USB dongles & SD cards. But this device takes the High Capacity ones up 32GB.
Other points to note. You can also connect your iPod or MP3 player via the supplied cable. You also get a 10A fuse. In case you can’t figure out what it’s for, and it’s not stated in the instructions, the device has a fuse inside the part that pushes into the lighter socket. That should blow before the device does. Handy if you leave the device in all the time. If the device stops working, check the fuse. You unscrew the end. The instructions are clear, but one point of note is that it doesn’t show you how to change the fuse.
I’m so happy with this FM transmitter and highly recommend it to anyone who’ll listen. The only thing I can think that is lacking with this is Bluetooth. I would love for this device to be able to communicate with my phone or Bluetooth headset (if I had some), or or an MP3 player that had Bluetooth.
4 Stars Great for the Money
I am quite happy with the soundfly. It sounds good and functions as advertised. The only knocks are 1. could use more transmitting power. 2. could use more capacity since it is limited to 20 folders and 999 songs – that is a limit too easy to surpass with mp3 data. I am using the soundfly in a 2002 Ford Taurus to avoid running wires in the car and disengaging the CD player to run an mp3 player – which would cost $200!! Having the ability to use USB memory sticks is really nice since I can use the same stick in the car, home, and at work for mp3’s.
5 Stars Really Neat Device!
I ordered a Soundfly device and wasn’t sure what to expect. When it came, I tried it out and it worked faily well, but it seemed like the transmitter in it wasn’t powerful enough. Shortly after the device arrived, I got an email asking me how I liked it. I replied that it worked pretty well, but was somewhat unhappy about the occasional fuzziness. Shortly after that, I got another email saying that they were sending me a different one and it included a pre-paid return label.
So now I tried the new one and it works great! No fuzziness and the music sounds great. I would recommend it to anyone. It is especially good for me since I don’t have an iPod and didn’t really want one. I just wanted to play MP3’s in my car that only has a casette with the radio. This is perfect.
4 Stars Does the job
4 stars because it does everything I wanted it to. That’s not to say it’s the best one on the market.
A little ‘tinny’ build-wise but for the price that’s to be expected. The only thing it wouldn’t do that I wanted is display the song names on the radio. This is NOT a problem with the unit, rather a feature of the built in Ford radio system which has a TEXT button but only for CD’s, when in FM mode the TEXT button is a station preset.
By far the best feature of this device is the abiility to remember which track is being played at power down. It even seems to remember if the memory stick is removed and then put back in.
