I got this two years ago for a car I actually ended up selling probably a day after getting it, it spent a lot of time unused but I've been using it to make some of my wired headphones wireless since I managed to destroy my Crossfade 2 and it's been an amazing experience, I've only had it die on me once, but I believe I had left it on overnight and the next day just sitting as it hasn't failed me since. ...
