The good: The Miccus BluBridge for iPod adds stereo Bluetooth audio streaming to recent models of the iPod MP3 player, and draws all the power it needs directly from the iPod.

The bad: The BluBridge's size and branding aren't discreet, and sound quality could be better.

The bottom line: The Miccus BluBridge for iPod delivers on its promise to bring stereo Bluetooth to the iPod, but the results aren't impressive.

The Miccus BluBridge is a stereo (A2DP) Bluetooth adapter made specifically for the iPod. The Blubridge isn't the smallest, sexiest, or best-sounding Bluetooth adapter we've tested, but with a retail price of $59, it is one of the most affordable.

Measuring 1.75 inches wide, 1 inch tall, and just 0.25 inch thick, the BluBridge is about the size of a matchbook. The front features a large white and blue logo that, while not unattractive, isn't the sort of thing design-conscious iPod owners will want to look at every day.

The top of the BluBridge features a standard 30-pin iPod dock connector, placed slightly off-center to compensate for the equally off-center plug found on the iPod Nano. The rest of the BluBridge is featureless, except for a pinhole blue LED on the bottom edge of the adapter, which blinks to indicate Bluetooth connection status.
