    This is the best one I have ever purchased. It only actually began to not work properly at 100%. I loved the price. I loved it small size and that I was able to place it in my arm rest and keep it plugged in and charged at all times. My only con is that the wire is so this and I was afraid of damaging it. However, it was always kept in a safe place and away from other things.

    This will turn any speaker or audio devise that has a AUX input into a Bluetooth receiver. It's very easy to set up and works great. The two devises don't even have to be in the same room.

    This is a great unit to install in my car in place of the factory Bluetooth unit. It was extremely easy to install and it did exactly what it was created to do. My only issue is that I must open my settings on my phone in order to connect to it when I get in the car because it will not automatically connect. It does, however, produce flawless stereo sound in my vehicle.

    Using in my car with IPod, smart phone etc. Good stereo but , no Bluetooth in car. Really convenient. Sound is great. Small size is good ... but small button to connect bluetooth is somewhat difficult to reach. Also great wth non-Bluetooth stereos, tv's etc..

    I originally purchased this little streamer for my husband as his vehicle did not have a USB port or any type of media integration for his phone. After ‘testing’ it out on my own vehicle that did have a way to Integrate with a very clunky proprietary Y-cable, I ditched the Y cable and bought myself my own Alurtek. The sound quality was way better than when connecting with the cable. Our vehicles are old enough to not have anything but phone pairing via Bluetooth. This has allowed us to enjoy our library of music without much fuss. Super easy to connect and will allow up to 4 connections in case everyone in the car wants to take turns playing songs! :)

    This works well. It is easy to pair with my iPhone X. The sound sounds as good or better than a wired connection to my vehicle audio system. Only negative is the battery does not stay charged very long while not using. I need to plan to charge for a while when I begin to use it.

    So far so good . Paired up and stayed paired after turning the car key off. Trying to get around using cords however it only helps some because it has to be recharged and has old school plug . That plug is a draw back if you want to swap your phone c cord to charge. It will work with anything audio and has an aux plug. Like an outdated sound bar of which I have 3.

    Allows me to stream music to an older, pre-Bluetooth, receiver via the 1/4” video/aux in jacks located on the front. Comes with adapter cable to go from 3mm to 1/4” left & right inputs. Works great with a little sound loss which is to be expected. Has rechargeable battery with a playtime longer than it says it has. So far I’m extremely pleased with it. Had a challenge getting sound from MacBook until I figured out I had to change speaker output from built-in speakers to Bluetooth.

    I have a car without bluetooth capabilities. So either I get a new car, get a new radio, or get this device. This device is the cheapest and easiest option. It connects effortlessly and has good sound quality. It takes a second to turn on but its great (especially for the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus)

    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.

    Got this to stream audio from my phone to an older stereo still being used in the garage. The stereo is located up high so had to get a female to female coupler to connect this receiver to the long male aux input being used, as it helps to be within reach of this receivers power button and to see the indicator lights. Now i can listen to whatever i want when working in the garage.

    This is a great product if you want to connect your blutooth device to a home stereo. That is what I use it for. It works great. The only downside is you have to charge it with a USB port. The charge lasts a long time. Its a great product.

    I bought one of these for my wife who has a portable Bose speaker. It makes it so that she can put the speaker wherever she wants without having to worry about any cables at all. It pairs quickly with her phone and is playing music with no sound quality issues quickly. It can work with multiple devices but in order to switch between them, the one that was paired with it pretty much needs to turn its bluetooth off to make it available for pairing with another device. Overall, it is a simple cost effective way to make anything with an aux-in port bluetooth compatible.

    Bought a new motorhome with a home entertainment system that had a BluRay player that had stopped including Bluetooth in its build. Since I like to listen to music off my iPhone or iPod, needed a device that would connect seamless. Thus was recommended by another person who had the same problem I did. Purchased the unit (very small footprint) and connected to the back of my BluRay (all connections supplied) and once I figured how to turn it on, it worked. Sound wise, I am still undecided. Sometimes the sound is very clear and others it is a bit ragged. Not much to check as it is basically a plug-in cable and on/off switch. Also, the unit turns itself off after some indeterminate period of non use which is sort of a pita as I have to reach through cupboards to get to it. Overall though, I am satisfied with the unit for the price.

    If you put this in a car and have it charging. When you want to turn it on and off it is difficult to press the tiny button. Other than that, he functionality and sound quality are amazing for this small device.

    This is basically a wireless AUX cord. The quality and range are great, but it does require power and charging. It also has to be turned ON and OFF manually unlike some that can do it automatically when they receive power. It does the job well, and is small enough to fit anywhere.
