Amazon Reviews:

> Wenn es allerdings nicht über Akku oder Batterie, sondern über ein
> Netzteil betrieben wird, macht es einige Störgeräusche im Standby

> Macht Störgeräusche bei jeder Stille, auch innerhalb eines Tracks.
> Sehr störed, da hilft auch Bluetooth 5.0 mit WAV oder Flac nichts,
> wenn zwischendurch irgendwo Stille ist und die direkt mit nem
> Quietscher eingeläutet wird.

> Tends to overload and distort fairly easily. The loop through is very
> poor with bad distortion.
