Periodic Audio Neon

I don’t know about you guys but one thing that I find really confusing is multi-function buttons. Maybe it’s my age or something but remembering how many presses or how long I have to hold a button down for is, frankly, too much hassle! I recently bought a set of ear buds with exactly this problem and so I don’t even bother trying to adjust the volume on them or skip tracks, I just use my player and I’m probably not the only one. Thankfully, Periodic Audio seem to realise this and so have come up with this very simple and intuitive Bluetooth Receiver.

The Neon focuses on simplicity for the user with just 4 buttons: Volume Up, Volume Down, a button that does pairing, switching and reset and one final button that covers Play, pause, Fast Forward, Rewind and the ability to answer phone calls. It’s the only real multi-function button on there but they’ve kept it simple with a single click for pause, double click to skip forward to the next track and a triple click to go back a track. Even an old grognard like me can figure this out! If you get a phone call, you just press this button and you’ve answered, simple! The switch between devices is seamless and they’ve managed this by convincing 2 devices they’re both connected at the same time (even though they’re not!) and is just a click of a button to do.

Simplicity of use is one thing but if it isn’t compatible with your devices, what’s the point? Good news is, they’ve got that covered too with most codecs covered allowing you to connect to Android, Apple and other Bluetooth devices. Combine that with being able to connect to two separate devices at the same time and you’ve got an easy-to-use device that can facilitate sound well that doesn’t cost that much either.RRP $89
