As technology advances, we are always looking for products that have many other functions in just a single device. For example, in the past, we are looking for mobile phone that is stylish, user friendly and its main purpose is to be able to make phone calls and SMS. But now with the 3.5G technology, we are looking for stuff like MMS, video conferencing or even web surfing on the mobile phones. This is what we call value for money since a device could provide us with so many different abilities.
Therefore, the same goes to the FM transmitter. We are looking for one with the most function and that is the reason why most people who choose to buy the FM transmitter USB. This is because the FM transmitter not only could play music directly from your MP3 and transmit it into audio signals but also able to charge many devices that utilize the USB port.
There are many fm usb transmitter in the market but the most commonly used ones are VR3 MP3 player WMA USB SD FM modulator transmitter and Scosche digital FM transmitter and USB charger. In terms of pricing, both of it costs less than $50 which is economy friendly. At the same time, it comes with the multi usage of the USB charger and this makes it real good buy.
One of the major difference between the 2 devices is on the number of FM frequencies. The Scosche FM transmitter allows us to select from up to 100 different transmitting FM frequencies while the VR3 FM transmitter only has 16 preset frequencies. You need to be careful with this because if you live in a region with crowded frequency spectrum, you might want to purchase the Scosche FM transmitter. Although most of the time, the preset FM channels should have at least 1 to 2 untapped frequencies but it is really a risk that you should ought to be aware of.
On the other hand, the VR3 FM transmitter has a wider variety of playback choices. It is compatible to play with USB devices, flash drive and even SD card. Seeing that the SD card is so cheap, this is really a good deal if you do not posses any MP3 players since you can store songs into the SD card and play it through your car stereo system.
There isn’t really a perfect product so it is entirely up to our individual needs. Personally, I prefer the Scosche FM transmitter since I already have a MP3 player and the wider range of frequency is much more needed. So, weigh the pros and cons of the 2 devices and make your choice wisely.
