    First be forewarned: I purchased this to make older (Bose) noise-canceling headphones into wireless. It didn't work; though that was the fault of Bose, not Aluratek. This receiver does work, and small enough to mount on the headphones, or any other device. Not tiny; but small. I put it in my car instead, so now I have a Bluetooth connection there. Note: I got a Bluetooth adapter by Reytid for the Bose headphones. Reytid advertised different adapters to fit the various Bose models. They work perfectly. So be aware, your device might require some specific type of adapter.

    I went from a car with Bluetooth connectivity to one that didn't. I missed being able to stream audio (Pandora, Google Play, etc.) This device allows me to now do that. My only issue is that I have to reconnect with my phone every time I want to use it. My built in Bluetooth in my car used to do it automatically.

    I am surprised how this little thing can make my table neat. I can use my ipad to play songs from a distance without cable. Was able to connect 5 devices and can play 1 without disconnecting the others.

    I received this from a friend and love it! It lasts about 6 hours on a full charge. Pairing the device is easy I just wish there was a separate button for it. I usually have to press the power button twice to make it turn on but other than that it's great.

    Turn it on, plug it in, music. Couldn't be easier to use, and I couldn't tell you if there is any sound degradation - sounds as good as any other wired method I've used. Great inexpensive device!

    Originally planned to use this in my car to stream music from my iPhone later decided to try it on my computer sound bar. Works perfect! The only downside if you use another Bluetooth on your phone you have to pair it again.

    My wife has a 2010 vehicle without bluetooth. I've tried other wireless receivers without any luck. This product paired instantly with my wife's phone and now she can listen to Spotify through her car speakers without any problems.

    Aluratek IS the perfect Bluetooth audio receiver. Powerful and yet quite simple to use. I have one plugged into our intercom and now my wife and I enjoy "our music" throughout the entire home and backyard. The sound is phenomenal and connection is automatic and so easy that we purchased one for each of our cars. Simply download your Spotify or iTunes favorites and you'll enjoy YOUR music everywhere, anytime.

    I purchased this to use in my 2007 BMW 3 series and it's been working great for me. It was very easy to set up and the quality I get is excellent. For the price I think this product is well worth it.

    Got this as my new iPhone did not have a separate aux output jack. Needed to be able to play music and charge at the same time on long road trips. This was perfect for allowing Bluetooth connection to the aux input and still be able to charge at the same time.

    I have old Mac equipment and wanted to be able to play other sources thru it. I can now connect any device with Bluetooth. It is a little difficult to turn on and off. Pairs up easy and has a range that is long enough. It receives but doesn't transmit per the discription

    Good option for cars without built in bluetooth

    If your vehicle has a line in port, but no built in Bluetooth, then this is a good option. It has a pretty decent battery life, and I was able to use it for about two hours a day for almost two weeks before it began cutting out. It charges pretty quick, too, even while its in use; around four hours and it was fully charged again. My only real complaint would be the size of the charger's connection. It's TINY, around 1/8 inch diameter, while almost half an inch long. It feels like having it slightly off center could break it, although I've had no issues yet. There are cheaper Bluetooth recievers on Amazon, but this is definitely a quality unit that's worth the price if it's on sale.

    Great addition to my Bluetooth repertoire. Instead of convincing my boss to upgrade the head unit in my Freightliner, this was a cheaper and better alternative by far. Could use a Ferris core to cut down on electronic interference from the truck, but that's a cheap fix.
