BuyiJet: iJet Nav - iJet Nav Pro Reviews
As a professional magician, I frequently need to be my own roadie, stage manager, lighting and sound man. It means I have to know a little bit about everything, and I need the right tools to make my job easier.
One of the biggest challenges entertainers like me have is controlling their background music. There are several niche audio products targeted at magicians that allow them to control their music, but most are quite expensive and complicated to use. I've seen some systems north of $1200.00; that's a major investment for just about anyone breaking into the business.
Recently, I came across a company called BuyiJet that sells a family of extremely affordable and powerful RF wireless remote controls for your iPod, iPhone and iPad devices. The basic iJet Nav consists of a small square adapter that plugs into your iPod and a wireless remote control you can carry in your pocket or wear on your belt. The 9 function remote control enables you to control the volume, pause, play, rewind or fast forward the music, or move forwards or backwards a track.
The adapter plugs into the slot where you normally plug in your iPod's synch cable and it also has a pass-through, so you can plug it into your computer or you could also use an iPod to USB/AC adapter to keep power running to the iPod if you wanted to. The adapter draws minimal power from your iPod, but if you are going to be running it for an extended period of time, using some type of AC cord is recommended.
Unlike its competitors, iJet Nav boasts a 150 foot range for their RF signal which travels around corners and through walls. The iJet Nav RF remote control works at considerable distance and does not need to be line of site to work well. I initially tested this on my daughter's iPod in her upstairs bedroom and connected it to her stereo quickly and easily. I then stepped back and started playing music. I walked outside of her room into another bedroom and was still able to control the music without any meaningful delays or problems.
Included are a bunch of accessories to help you connect your iPod to your stereo or loud speaker system. The clarity of your music is exceptional and there's no static or other audible interference or loss of quality. You plug in the right angle connector into your headphone jack, and then the supplied audio cable into the connector. The standard RCA jacks plug into your stereo, and bingo, you are ready to go.
The iJet Nav remote control is comfortable to hold, the buttons have a nice soft feel to them that respond well to your touch, and it is water resistant. The remote uses a standard round flat CR2025 battery available at any drugstore. You also receive additional mounts and clips to attach your iJet Nav remote control to your belt. This is a nice touch and great added value to the basic iJet Nav product which presently retails for around $24.95.
If you want to spend a little more money for enhanced functionality, the iJet Nav Pro sports a convenient docking station and 2-way RF wireless remote control with LED readout.
With the iJet Nav Pro, your iPod will draw power through the docking station, and there is no need for a separate adapter. You connect the docking station to your stereo or sound system using the audio cables supplied. Again, this is very plug and play and is a breeze to setup and use. Simply drop your iPod into place, and you are ready to go.
This iJet Nav Pro's wireless remote is rechargeable (from the docking station) and has the same easy-to-use functionality as the iJet Nav but it also features an LED readout so you can see what's playing. This makes track selection and navigation easy peasy!
The LED remote displays the Artist List, Play List, Song List, Current Song/Next Song, and Current Song/Artist. The controls include Equalizer Settings, Shuffle, Pause, Play, Next Song, Previous Song, Volume, Power Up/Down. Fast scroll through the Play List / Artist List / Song Lists real time via the RF wireless link and much more!
The iJet Nav Pro currently retails for under $75.00. That's a bargain at that price. To learn more about the iJet family of products, visit BuyiJet today.
