I use this device to bluetooth enable an older audio receiver and it works very well. Once a device is paired with this, I haven't had to re-pair either my iPhone or an associated Bluetooth Transmitter I purchased from the same company. I have been using it for about a month, and I have been very happy with it for music. When I use it for video, the associated audio and video are slightly out of sync. The video is slightly ahead of the audio. I don't believe this is unique to this device, it is a function of bluetooth in general.

I came in looking for a new aux cable to stream music from my phone through my car. The salesperson showed me this bluetooth device as an option, as the cables I had been buying eventually had connection issues. It was $30 versus the 10-15 I was planning to spend, however it has been totally worth it. It was easy to set up, and is easy to use. It does require charging, but the battery lasts days and days before charging is required. What a great find!

Not too pricey and I haven’t had any issues after a year of use. Great range and clear quality. Although I can’t comment on battery life as it’s consistently plugged in.

This device is easy to set up and simple to use. Your devices must be able to discover this device to connect to it as it is the passive device in a pairing. So if you had say a set of earphones that you simply turn on and must select from a car display or computer software to pair, they will not work with this device. There are no drivers or software that would enable that with this device. But if you have a phone that you want to have play music through speakers in an older car or a car that does not have bluetooth, this device will do it as long as you have a 3.5 (normal) sound jack and a usb power port available.

I bought this device because my car does not have Bluetooth. All in all, this device works very well and I would recommend it. It lasts several days without charging and can be plugged into a car charger and used at the same time.
The only downfall is the one button that you use to turn it on and off. You have to hold it down for approximately 4 seconds to turn on and the same to turn off. If you hold it down just a hair longer, it goes into the Bluetooth find mode, which can be annoying. So turning it on initially can be a little irritating if you're not looking at the device light.

Had to buy this for my 2015 Armada bc it is not capable of playing music via bluetooth (what year is it again???). Compared to the other options I had, this was the best. It works well and it's easy to get it paired with your devices. It does make an annoying humming if I'm using it AND charging at the same time. Could be the car aux port (I've had it looked at already by Nissan 3 times....long story). I wish it had an auto shut off bc I always forget to turn it off when I get out of the car. Other than that, I use it every single day and no real issues.

Awesome device. Range is about 15-25ft dpeending on your setup, your obstructions in the way, and your device! Its very clear and makes a great adapter especially for vehicles and stereo systems!

I purchased to transform my old Bose radio/CD, which has been going strong for decades, to be able to stream audio content from my phone. This tiny receiver works perfectly for this purpose. It plugs into the AUX outlet in the back of the radio.

I have a Sirius/XM radio for my wife's car and a portable device that can play at home. Unfortunately that requires removing the device from the car when I want to play it in the house. The solution was to purchase this device and plug it into the AUX in slot of the home radio. I can't get Sirius but I can get Pandora. It works great. It came with an aux type wire as well as wires to plug into a stereo input.

Would purchase again. Ease of use - syncing auto Bluetooth. Seems to hold a good charge. Have used for over 4 hours with no recharge or reduced reception/transmission of signal.

I bought this to replace the audio cable I run to the back seat of my car to allow my daughters to play DJ on their MP3 players. It's easy to set up in under a minute and a single charge will last for hours. I was concerned that the thin mini-jack cord might come apart, so I attached it to the dashboard with a small velcro tab and there's no stress on the cord now. Overall, it's a very handy gadget for a great price.

This bluetooth audio receiver works great. It's very tiny so it stays out of sight and is hardly noticeable. To connect the device is very easy and it comes with all the necessary cables that are needed.

just got a new Bodyguardz case for my iPhone 6s plus. Great case, except now I can't get a Aux cord plugged all the way in. A Best Buy employee knew just what would solve this. Not only can I now connect to my music in my truck again, but the fact that it's wireless solves the cord issue. Plus I really love that there's no distortion. The sound is clear, even from many feet away.

I purchased this to play an Echo Show through my receiver. The receiver doesn't have BlueTooth. I was able to sync the Echo Show to the Aluratek and was able to plug that into my receiver via the rca jacks. Works great! I can stream music through the Echo Show and play it throuh my receiver and full sized speakers for great sound.

Simply press power for 3 seconds to turn on. It will say power on. 5 seconds to turn off. Recharge with micro USB cable. Good range. Goes about 50 feet. Audio quality is good. Typical of other Bluetooth devices Not really on con but quality of the construction of the device is average. Time will tell
