by Anker

PowerIQ 2.0: Keep your devices topped up while on the road with Ankers exclusive fast-charging PowerIQ 2.0 technology (compatible with Qualcomm Quick Charge devices).

The Anker Roav SmartCharge T1 is a well-designed, high-quality Bluetooth FM transmitter that streams music straight from your phone to your cars stereo system.

The T1 has an aux-in port for connecting an external device, such as a gaming console or a turntable, and it comes with a small, portable Bluetooth FM transmitter antenna that fits into your pocket. The T1's big, bright LED screen displays time, radio volume, and audio playback information, and it has a rotary knob that lets you adjust playback settings.

[Make and take hands-free calls for safer driving.]

The Anker Roav is our favorite car adapter for Android phones. It easily adapts to your car's existing stereo, it's Bluetooth 5.0 compatible, and its 2.1 speakers sound much better than the similarly-priced Auxus QX! The Roav's 3.0 USB Type C port gives you plenty of power to charge your phone and other devices, and there's also a 2.4A port for powering a small device via USB. The Roav's Bluetooth 5.0 connection is reliable and fast, and it supports a wide range of devices, including iPhones and iPhones with iOS 12. The Roav's noise-cancellation feature is also top notch, and it's one of the only car adapters we've tested that supports A2DP. The Roav's buttons are easy to use, and it's versatile enough that you can connect it to multiple devices at once. The only drawback is the Roav's price, which is higher than most car adapters. The Anker Roav also has some shortcomings: The Roav's sound quality isn't as impressive as that of the Auxus QX, and it lacks some features, like a built-in USB port.

by Anker

Quick Charge 3.0: Advanced technology provides high speed charging for your device.

The Roav SmartCharge F3 delivers solid performance, with crisp, clear audio and strong, reliable Bluetooth reception. It's an easy device to set up and use, with dedicated buttons for calls, music, and volume, as well as buttons for adjusting noise cancellation. The display is clear, but it's small, so you'll have to look close to make out the song or radio station. The speaker is loud, but it's a bit rattly, which limits its appeal. The Roav app is easy to navigate, and while the app doesn't have as many features as other car kits, the audio playback controls are easy to access and use. The F3 is well built, and it feels durable and well-constructed.

Better Hands-Free Calling: Bluetooth 4.2 provides a stable connection and echo-cancellation reduces background noise for clearer calls.

Its charging ports can both charge two devices at once, and both ports have PowerIQ technology, which prioritizes the devices plugged in for the fastest charging.

The Roav's audio controls are easy to use, and there's a built-in microphone, so you can make hands-free calls while driving. The Roav's dedicated app is a bit confusing, and it doesn't support Android Auto or CarPlay, but it's easy enough to use manually. The Roav's battery life is impressive, and it can last up to 12 hours, and it's recharged via a micro USB cable. The Roav's interface has an orange background, which some people find distracting, but the blue LEDs that indicate its battery level are a nice touch. The Roav's Bluetooth connectivity is solid, and it supports multiple users, so you can share a single transmitter with multiple phones. The Roav's range is good, and it's easily the pick of the FM transmitters we tested.

The Hudl 2 is better at transmitting sound over short distances, and it's a bit cheaper as well.

Anker Roav SmartCharge Bluetooth F2 FM Transmitter

by ROAV

Hands-Free Calls: Bluetooth 4.2 provides a strong, stable connection for reliable hands-free calling that you can hear through your cars stereo.

The Anker Roav SmartCharge F2 Bluetooth FM Transmitter is a inexpensive, well-built, and versatile Bluetooth car audio adapter. Its dual USB ports allow two devices to charge simultaneously, and its 10W output makes streaming music to a car stereo via Bluetooth a breeze. The Roav SmartCharge is also a very secure Bluetooth device, thanks to pairing via PIN code. The app used to control the Roav SmartCharge is also well designed, and it's compatible with both Android and iOS devices. The Roav SmartCharge also has a handy car locator feature, which alerts drivers when their phones are out of sight. Unfortunately, the Roav SmartCharge's FM transmission isn't as reliable as we'd like. We experienced occasional static and interference when transmitting over FM, and we found that the Roav SmartCharge works best with Bluetooth devices, not FM receivers. The Roav SmartCharge also lacks an on-screen display, and there's no remote or speakerphone feature. Also, the device's power button is located on the back of the device, which is hard to access when driving.

Unfortunately, it doesn't let you stream music directly from your phone, so you won't be able to take advantage of your phone's music library. It's also somewhat expensive, but it's well worth the money if you want hands-free calling in your car.
