20 Best Bluetooth Adapter For Home Stereo (2022 Updated)

The sound quality is very good. If you’re using a phone, I recommend installing an equalizer app to adjust the settings. Just plug in to aux port or use the rca adapter. I use it in my 06 expedition; just plugged into rca output and leave it on.

Synced it to 2 phones (both android) so i can hop in and hit play. Only downside is that I have to flip it on/off on occasion to reset it. And it’s battery powered so you do need to charge it with the mini USB every few days.

Well worth it if you have a music app.

Does what its suppose to do. Loses some sound quality but not that many options out there if you only have an aux input. Better than using the aux cable. Also has a built in battery so you dont have to leave it plugged in the cigarette plug.

Blue tooth adapter is easy to install phone connected easily. The only issue i have is you need to turn volume on phone very low and the bass is very high. Music distorts at higher volumes but for 15 bucks well worth it.

Much smaller than it looks in the picture, but the design is awesome; small and sleek. The screen displays info that you definitely would want to know if you care. Playing Tidal and their hi-fi and hi-fi plus items sound amazing!! Definitely sounds like a CD, at least.

I also use another streamer (not auris) which is wired (not wi-fi) and there is no difference at all. Haven’t tested the range, so can’t comment on that. This auris unit is connected to my yamaha receiver at my home office and the phone is always in that room while streaming, so range is not an issue for me.

Have got nothing to say about the DAC either. ESS Sabre DACs are known to be good. Generally you won’t find DACs this good on a bluetooth streamer, so no complaints there. Wasn’t expecting much with this purchase and I thought that I will need to return it and go for McIntosh MB20 eventually.

Boy, I was blown away!! I don’t think MB20 will sound better than this blueMe Pro (at 1/3rd the price of MB20 anyways). Overall, this is unit is built with solid components and hopefully will last for a while as well.

Highly recommend.

The bluMe Pro recently replaced a Logitech Bluetooth adapter in my component stereo system. When I replaced my analog preamp with a digital preamp at the start of the year, the limitations of the Bluetooth adapter were more apparent with it’s analog-only output.

The bluMe Pro brought up my cell phone and tablet sources to a higher level sound quality. It serves as a source expansion to my existing dedicated streamer/server, which streams a limited number of radio stations with online broadcasts over the internet, as well as serves music files saved at various resolutions on my solid state drive.

Before the Bluetooth was relegated to background music duty. Now Bluetooth is nice enough complement the server.

I bought this adapter to use with an older Pioneer receiver system, and it works great! Really good range and sound quality. Easy to pair, and stays paired, even when I unplug the unit, and power it back up – connects with my phone immediately.

My only complaint would be the lack of a power switch. Since it has such a great range, it stays connected over bluetooth no matter where I go in the house. I just unplug the power cord from the unit when done using it.

Great and affordable product! Does what it’s supposed to do!.

I use this unit to stream music from my phone to the line level inputs on my stereo in my office. The unit works well. The Bluetooth connection has been solid (no drops or intermittent connections), and the sound quality is good.

I also appreciate that when there is no Bluetooth connection, the unit outputs no sound. That way there’s no strange noises or static bursts from my stereo when nothing is connected, or when I go in and out of Bluetooth signal range.

My only unflattering comment about the unit is regarding its build quality. When I first connected the plug on the end of the power cord to the unit, the unit would not power up unless I applied a small amount of pressure to one side of the plug.

After removing and reinserting the power plug a few times, I was able to get it to stay on. I sat it down gingerly and have not moved it, so am hopeful that issue doesn’t become a problem down the road.

Very pleased with this product, I had purchased a different, slightly cheaper bluetooth device for my home theater system and never could get the darn thing to stay connected. After a bit of frustration I started shopping around again and stumbled across this Esinkin system which was very reasonable under $25 so I was a bit hesitant but figured i’d give it a shot.

Totally different and much improved result this time around, the Esinkin connected quickly and easily, stays connected even when I wandered around the home, its proven to be extremely reliable, and i’ve used it multiple times since I purchased with 100% satisfaction.

I’ve used it for streaming music from the phone via apps or even just a song on youtube, etc, great quality, no complaints so far and its been around 30 days. Buy this device with confidence, I think you will be as happy as I am.

I have the analog outputs to a pair of Kenwood L-05M mono block power amplifiers (through a switch box I built myself to allow switching between the bluMe and other sources) and a pair of B&W Model 802 speakers.

At apartment volumes it sounds fantastic. I detected no problems with Bluetooth connectivity so far. I also I connected the fiber optic output to my Benchmark DAC-1, which allows me to compare the DAC of the bluMe to a high-end professional converter.

The differences between the two seem negligible, which is incredible considering the cost of the bluMe and the Benchmark (over $1,000. 00). My only complaint is that the gain on the optical output of the bluMe seems considerably lower than the optical output of my Samsung 7 Series (43″) Smart TV.

This means that with the volume turned up to 100% on video or audio files on my laptop, I have to crank up the volume control on my Benchmark DAC 25-30% higher to get the same volume as for the same files coming from my Samsung TV via its own optical output going into the same Benchmark DAC.

I designed my system for minimum circuitry between source and speakers, so the only thing controlling the volume on the bluMe analog outputs is the volume control of the media player app itself. At anywhere between 50%-70% volume setting on my Windows Media Player (depending on the recording level of the file), I get a satisfying volume out of my speakers, similar to what I get from my CDs and LPs.

This tells me that the gain on the analog output of the bluMe is more in line with industry standards than the optical output seems to be. I wonder if there is an internal gain adjustment on the optical output.

I have a Yamaha Receiver hooked up to an older Bose Acoustimass 5 Series III System and I am getting stable, clean sound from this BlueMe HD Receiver. Pairs quickly with anything with super range from anywhere in the house.

Hooked up both RCA and optical inputs to my receiver and both produce great volume output to speakers with clean well balanced sound. However I feel you get a little richer sound using the internal Auris DAC and output through the RCA cables to RCA in Yamaha receiver.

The optical output to Yamaha is very close but by using the DAC in the receiver it is a little but (very little) less rich. This BlueMe HD is a well made high end receiver for streaming CD quality to any existing stereo system.

This little box saved my life! In an open concept house where some people need quiet to study, I was able to turn my 15 year old AV receiver into a bluetooth enabled transmitting sound box of extreme joy.

Apple TV/Sharp Aquos/JVC Av sound hub. I can now watch TV/DVD / play video games listen to spotify with my wireless headphones and not disturb a soul. Saved us 1000s in building a new office or buying modern AV tech gear.

This Grumpy ole man is very pleased. Bit of messin around to set up but both optical and 3. 5mmm work! I used a 1/4 adapter to connect to my JVC.

Pro: – Good transmission distance. – After initial pairing for transmission, reconnecting is quick. Con: – Blue LED indicators are difficult to see (too dim), a different color might help. – Initial pairing for transmission was difficult due to differing sequence of initializations that seemed to be needed between Aluratek and different devices, although the other devices had no problems pairing with other BT transmitters (USB sticks), I almost returned the Aluratek ABCD54F due to the difficulty in the initial pairing.

– A volume control would be helpful for the transmission modus, since neither the TV I use with optical SPDIF output nor the BT (receiving) earphones are able to boost the audio to a comfortable listening sound level.

I like the product, but it is over priced for what it is, considering it cannot transmit only recieve. if you get 2 you can can link to each other and provide stereo sound which is great if you want to have them directly in back of speakers and in lue of the mixer.

It would be nice if they had transmitters you could plug in the the mixer and save running speaker wire, or use the blue tooth to transmit to a phone for video audio recording purposes. So yeas it’s a good product and I can’t say anything bad about the purpose it is designed for, but it is severely over priced.

If it was 15 or 20 bucks it would be a great value.

What can I say? The Oasis B was extremely easy to hook up and configure. I hooked up to a HiSense Roku TV and had the device and the AirPod Max headphones configured in less than 5 minutes! Great sound and low latency as expected! Thanks Avantree!.

No cons found yet —so useful and versatile this is my second Trond 2-in-1 as I often have need for 2. Bluetooth 5. 0 with low latency APTX makes it ideal for use transmitting sound of audio/video devices to Bluetooth 5.

0 low latency APTX head phones or in-ear phones to ensure no noticeable lip-synch spoils watching and listening to videos using head phones or in-ear phones. Very small, lightweight and lasts over 8 hours on 1 charge.

Pairs easily. Switch selector to be either an audio Transmitter or audio Receiver. Very handy to plug into audio input or output or devices such as older HiFi units that don’t have Bluetooth built-in or Audio devices that have WiFi but not Bluetooth.

Comes with a few different Audio connect cables –3. 5mm Jack to Jack lead, a 3. 5mm Jack socket to phono plugs lead and a very useful metal 3. 5mm to 3. 5mm Jack to Jack. Ideal for making Audio/Video displays on aircraft seat-backs Bluetooth enabled just by plugging into the devices headphone socket (or socket in the seat arm) and then using Bluetooth head phones or in-ear phones.

Backward compatible with older Bluetooth 4 and lower devices plus without APTX or APTX low latency but of course the older devices when connected won’t match the sound quality possible with BT 5. 0 and the low / negligible lip-synch with APTX / APTX Low Latency.

It worked to connect my Chinese, online-bought, off-brand headphones to my Nintendo Switch! I had to read instructions online to figure it out, but it’s simple! Connect Trond to the audio port of Switch (Trond comes with 2 different audio jacks).

Press and hold Trond’s power button for a few seconds to turn it on. Turn Trond’s switch to “TX” and double tap the power button to start connection. Turn on the bluetooth headphones and they instantly connect! It comes in a box that also contains a 3.

5mm male to 3. 5mm male aluminum audio adapter (super short!), a 3. 5mm male to 3. 5mm male audio cable (50cm long), a 3. 5mm female to RCA male audio cable, and a USB to micro USB charging cable.

Needed a solution for my mother who is 86 to listen to her TV in bed without disturbing my father. Went to John Lewis who could not guarantee connectivity of headsets with Bluetooth and Curry’s who couldn’t guarantee low latency connection between devices and said they would not accept return if headset didn’t work!! Went online and bought the Bluetooth transmitter and headphones.

Both are excellent quality and connected instantly. My mother found the headphones comfortable and the controls easy to use. Battery life of headphones is excellent and Bluetooth transmitter is powered by USB in rear of TV so no recharging needed.

I would thoroughly recommend.

I purchased the Mee audio connect to replace an apple airport express I have been using for years but constantly drops connection. I am blown away by that little box. First of all I’m on Amazon looking at the minefield that is 1000 products that all promise the world but have mixed reviews.

I eventually think richer sounds will nail this. They have 1 product that I can use as a receiver for my Cambridge audio amp and my goodness its brilliant. I can play Spotify on my iPhone through my amp and speakers and the range is amazing for a Bluetooth product.

The quality of sound is fantastic and the box talks to you and tells you what to do, so set up is easy. Very very pleased with my purchase, well done richer sounds.

Here are notes I wrote while using my new MEE audio Connect Hub: I discovered today that my 2008 Sony Bravia’s optical out works fine, so long as I’m sending a sound source (like from a DVD player or computer) into the TV.

The TV antenna/broadcast signal won’t exit the optical out into the Bluetooth transmitter but will exit the analog L&R audio out to it. (I subsequently (*after I wrote most of this) found some forums that explained why, and why the TV’s volume control can’t control the the audio signal exiting the TV’s optical out.

Sony customer service certainly didn’t know anything about this as shown in a chat transcript I saved. I should have printouts of each). So I left both the analog & the optical lines plugged into the Bluetooth transmitter respective line-ins.

**I have the passthrough analog line out from the transmitter to my analog stereo system & can simply press the transmitter’s analog/optical mode button to toggle back and forth between optical (for when I I use the Bluetooth headphones with anything besides the TV antenna signal) & analog (for when I want to listen to TV through my Bluetooth headphones or listen to anything through the speakers via my analog stereo system).

[**This analog passthrough setup is ok, but I figured-out a better way. I don’t need to pass anything through the Bluetooth transmitter. I can simply keep the analog audio out RCA L&R from my TV connected to my stereo & unplug the 3.

5 mm plug from my TV’s headphone jack anytime I want to listen to the TV broadcast (or any other source (like computer) going through my TV) through my stereo system’s speakers and my TV’s speakers. (Set-up in my Sony TV’s Audio Options are as follows: Speakers/(select TV or external speakers): Speakers Audio Out/(select volume control source): fixed (though sometimes I prefer variable)) ] If I get a house, wherein I can get (& loudly play) a surround system with optical in, I can run the passthrough optical line out to said digital system.

(Written earlier than *above): *I also noticed that the TV’s volume control won’t control the volume (& that the Bluetooth transmitter’s volume boost button can’t boost the volume) when the Bluetooth transmitter mode is toggled to optical connection, unlike when the Bluetooth transmitter’s mode is toggled to analog connection.

In my analog wired connection to the transmitter, I found that if I sent the analog audio signal out from my TV’s 3. 5 mm headphone jack (which mutes the TV’s speakers), the volume in my Bluetooth headphones was louder and fuller-toned than from the TV’s RCA right & left audio out.

The device’s Bluetooth transmission range as stated in the manual (which MEE Audio’s 1-626-965-1008 customer service person said was because of its antenna), is much longer than/doesn’t ever drop the signal unlike when I’m using any of my other devices that have Bluetooth transmitters in them (like my computer & smart phone & Bluetooth speaker).

All in all, despite some of these maybe 2008 Sony TV set-related inconsistencies, this is a great product. Addendum. When I later paired a 2nd Bluetooth receiver with the MEE Audio Transmitter-Receiver, there was more lag between voice and video than when just using one Bluetooth receiver with it.

The 2nd Bluetooth transmitter/receiver I used (model SK-BTI-018) specified in its manual that it was atpX codec-ready in receiver mode; but unfortunately, the MEE audio Connect Hub’s codec indicator displayed SBC instead of atpX.

This was still the case when I un-paired the other (not model SK-BTI-018) and just had one Bluetooth receiver paired with the MEE audio Connect Hub. So I’m looking for a compact Bluetooth receiver I can plug my (light headphones into) that is indeed atpX or atpX LL-ready.

Very good reception from 50 feet away through a exterior wood and stucco wall and wooden cabinet. When pairing or unpairing it speaks rather loudly, but this can be disabled by the following: 1. To turn off the voice guide, place theRTX2.

0 into RX pairing mode by holding down the MFB button [large button at center with their logo]. The voice prompt says “pairing”, indicated by a fast flashing blue light on CH 1. 2. Double click the MFB button and the voice prompts are now turned off.

3. Follow steps 1 and 2 to turn voice prompts back on again.

Just finished connecting the unit to my hi powered 5. 1 surround sound Yamaha receiver. And OMG sounds amazing. Playing music from my Pandora and is great. Now, time to go the distance. Went to the furthest room and no disconnection.

Now walking all the way outside, and again , no issues. Amazing technology.

Given how fast the turnover rate on wireless tech is, I wanted to buy something on the newer side and as it turns out, this v2 Ifi Zen Blue came out a few months ago. I bought this to add wireless functionality to my desktop DAC/Amp setup.

Previously, I was using a FiiO BTR5 for my wireless needs but it couldn’t power my higher end headphones all that well. Since this is just passing a signal to my DAC and amp, I can now drive all my full sized headphones just fine.

When I’m at home, I’m not always on my computer when listening to music, but I’m close enough to the headphone amp where I can use the 10 foot headphone cables. This sounds as good as, if not better than the BTR5 as it also supports LDAC and I don’t have to worry about charging it.

Sure, I can’t walk around the house with it but I don’t really need to. One thing to note is that this has no on/off switch or power button, if it’s not receiving a signal it will just go on standby (all the LEDs will be off).

This isn’t a huge deal for me but just something to be aware of.

Zen Blue DAC is a solid unit. Bluetooth built in is great The team at Audio 46 was amazing at giving advice over the phone and helping me select excellent equipment, both for myself and as a gift.

Easy to set up!!! Incredible sound!

Love it! I have a LG smart TV with a 3. 5 mm headphone jack and connected this to the jack and now have Bluetooth connections! I bought this to reduce the TV volume in the house (I am hard of hearing and keep the TV at 25+).

I purchased an extension cable because I got tired of moving the TV to turn it on/off, and now it is easy to charge since it is set up closer to the outlet behind the stereo system. I originally paired it with Raycon E55 buds, but I use those everywhere I go and wanted a stationary set of headphones for home.

Purchased the Jlabs studio pro anc over the ear wireless headphones and they paired in 15 seconds. Both can charge overnight and be ready each day for use! Now I can have the TV on my volume (25) and the house can be much lower(8).

I LOVE THIS THING! Let me tell you – my car is a 2013 model and doesn’t have bluetooth itself and lately the aux cord has been TRASH. If you move it certain ways, the audio will only play in half the car.

I saw this one day when I was at Best Buy on a random shopping trip and thought and prayed it would work. I didn’t realize until after I left the store that the packaging itself said it was compatible with the iPhone 8 (something like that, I have the 11 btw) and I thought I screwed myself and bought something that wasn’t going to work.

So I tried it, and it took a bit for me to get it connected with my phone’s bluetooth but IT WORKED! Plays whatever song perfectly and evenly throughout my car. *********HEADS UP – You have to hold the button to turn on/off the bluetooth, if you accidently leave this on in your car while your car is off, it will die so you’ll need to charge it!.

Purchased to play music through a powered speaker, which has quality sound. The device hooked up easy and I was able to connect my phone and laptop easily. However the sound was awful. Very tinny. Sounded like an old transiter radio.

It’s unusable for music. Unfortunately, I passed the return prior before I realized it.

This is perfect! I have an older car that only has Bluetooth for phone calls, so this makes it even better. I have the Amazon Alexa for the car, but there are wires everywhere and the mount for it takes up one of my air vents.

This has one wire to plug into the aux port and it just hangs there. Plus, it’s small enough to just unplug and stick it in your pocket when you exit your car. I’m in my car a lot, and this makes traveling more enjoyable.

Works really well in both send and receive mode. Seems good quality and kling battery life. I easily get 10m distance and works through internal walls. V. Pleased.

I recently bought a Cambridge Audio One Hifi to replace a Yamaha CRX-550. The Yamaha has been superb, but didn’t have Bluetooth. I was really disappointed with the One, very light on bass & mid tones, not a patch on the Yamaha.

So the One was sent back for a refund, & I looked at buying an Arcam miniblink Bluetooth receiver to add to the Yamaha. At 120, I couldn’t justify the outlay, so decided to try this TP LINK HA100 instead for 20.

I have to say I’m very impressed, it comes with all the necessary cables, takes seconds to install, & sounds fantastic, way better that the built-in Bluetooth of the CA One. I considered buying a better quality jack to phono cable, but TBH I’m more than happy with the sound quality already.

I have had it playing at low & high volumes & get zero hiss/distortion, for 20 it’s a no-brainier.

ATTENTION PS5 + XBOX SERIES X/S OWNERS USING GAMING MONITORS TO PLAY: I bought this transmitter because I use my PS5 on my desktop PC’s gaming monitor to play at 120Hz. It’s not a 4K display, but I prefer a higher refresh rate so I don’t want to buy a TV when I already have a beautiful display (ASUS TUF VG27Q1A for those wondering).

The only drawback is that the display doesn’t have an optical or HDMI audio passthrough to plug in my Bose Soundbar 700. This is where this transmittier comes in: • I put this in “TX” mode and plugged this to my PC monitor via the 3.

5mm audio cable it comes with. It hangs right below the monitor for easy access to turn On/Off with a USB cable connected to keep it charged during use. • I short hold the power button to power it on, automatically putting it in pairing mode.

I proceed to use the app for my Bose Soundbar 700 to find the “TaoTronics TT-BR07” and it connects via Bluetooth. The flashing light stops blinking blue/red and turns a solid blue to show it’s connecting or purple if it’s charging at the same time while in use.

• Now, I’m able to enjoy my PS5 with the full sound of my Bose Soundbar 700, which had a Bass Module 700 + Surround Speakers 700 paired to the bar. It sounds amazing. Great when I play games or watch things on my PS5.

• This transmitter can connect a 2nd device, so I connected my Bose Soundwear Companion neck speaker when I want to play without my speakers to keep from waking my family. In place of neck speakers, one can connect to other Bluetooth headphone/earphones as well.

I’ve tested and was able to connect pairs of TaoTronics Soundliberty TWS earphones (the models 53 and 79) and they worked in TWS. • One thing worth mentioning is that I believe one of the unfortunate but reasonable limitations to this method is that I do not seem to have the ability to get 5.

1 audio (rear audio), but I do get stereo (2. 1), but I honestly don’t mind. The monitor is the bottleneck and cause, but wouldn’t be if there was a way to directly connect audio to the PS5 (would’ve been nice) via a 2nd HDMI port, an Optical, or even Bluetooth.

• Sometimes, after playing a long-time, you may notice some gradual increase in latency/lag. Like you fire a gun in a shooter game and there’s a lag in when you hear the sound – just turn it off and back on and it’s good again.

Happens once in a while on long gaming sessions. Overall, I’m truly thankful for this neat device for allowing me to connect wireless audio to my gaming montior for my PS5. My PS5 is my gaming console, my entertainment center for watching movies + shows + anime, and I also use it for YouTube for learning purposes too.

I’m sharing this in case anyone else is looking to produce a similar setup. Hope this helps! =].

I use this at least once, often twice, a day. It froths beautifully (I personally use half and half but have had success with nonfat milk and barista blend oat milk), and I have saved so much money on lattes at coffee houses because I can get an even better one in my kitchen.

I originally started with one of those Zullay handheld frothers and it was dead inside a week, and extremely inconsistent when it did work. This frother takes all the guessing out of the process. I have been trying to cut down my sugar intake and one of my worst habits was heavy, sugar-laced creamer in my coffee every morning.

I knew if I wanted to cut it out for good but still enjoy my coffee in the morning I needed to elevate my coffee game. This frother has made me forget I was even addicted to that chemical-laden creamer in the first place.

I don’t know how I lived without it and if you’re on the fence, this is your sign to go for it! It’s a breeze to clean, simple to use, and the varied setting options make it super versatile. I have other household products from Miroco and I am super pleased and impressed with the quality.

Truly, this item pays for itself within a week of daily use. Don’t hesitate, add to cart!.

I make drink 2 cups of coffee every day. About 3 weeks in, and I’ve used this little frother at least once every day. Five stars so far. First impressions: it’s made from high-quality materials and that is reflected in the heft.

It’s not too heavy to be unwieldy, but has a comfortable weight that speaks to quality. Very easy to use. It cleans up easily even when the milk sits overnight. A damp cloth is all it takes. The single-button controls took a whole day to memorize.

If you get more sleep than I do, you’ll probably learn it sooner. Helpful Tips: I’ve found a mix of whole milk and coffee creamer makes the ideal (for my taste) foam. When I use straight coffee creamer, perfectly respectable bubbles form.

However, add a splash of whole milk and the mystery of chemistry makes magic. Different brands of coffee creamer make different kinds of bubbles. In closing (3 weeks in): I cannot imagine my coffee routine without this super silent appliance.

It is so quiet that I can literally be holding a sleeping baby right next to it, and the baby doesn’t even stir.
