F25 Cell phone stand with wireless speaker

Most of the time when I am sitting at my desk, I am listening to music via headphones. Should someone telephone me, I have to fumble my phone out of my pocket and answer. Frequently I need to work on the computer whilst speaking on the phone; if I'm holding the phone with one hand then I have only one hand free to type on the keyboard, which is difficult. My usual method of dealing with this is to request a moment from the person on the other end of the line while I connect a headphone/microphone set to the phone (not the same headphones that I use to listen to music).

I am always open to an improvement in this situation, so when I saw the F25 Cell phone stand with wireless speaker at Temu for just under 100 NIS, I thought that this might prove to be a solution. This arrived a few days ago and I immediately put it to work. At first I put my phone in the holder, but a few minutes I realised that this was unnecessary as the bluetooth connection works upto 10 metres.

For the first few phone calls that I received, those who called me said that they couldn't hear me too well, so I cranked up the volume (there's no separate microphone and speaker volumes) and this seemed to work.

Whilst walking the dog (once again), I thought that it should be possible to play music from the computer via this device, thus obviating the need for headphones. This does work, but so far, I have been unable to answer a phone call whilst music is playing. This is in contrast to what is written in the manual.

Fortunately there appears to be some form of Internet support so I'll write to them and see what happens.

Incidentally, this item is no longer available1 from Temu; neither is it available from Amazon.
